My name is Gustavo Moreira Vidal Pereira, also known as LeCehlou. I started playing VGC last year with the Lille Regional, and after some locals and Liverpool took a break to be fully prepared for the 2025 season. I started practicing seriously and got coached by Adam Sherfaoui (ShaoVG), and did a respectable season start with my best performance being at Lille again. I hope I can have the skills to join a team, and have a way to both make my future team win, and earn experience in a VGC teamtour. I'm very active both in vc and group chats.

Bio
I've been playing since Sword and Shield released. Over the last couple of seasons I have worked on improving my consistency, earning points at every event in the 2023-24 season until NAIC and now day 2'ing all 4 majors I've attended in this 2024-25 season so far. This consistency I think carries over into team leagues, and I think I would be an asset in NPA. I recorded a 5-4 record last season, which while not insane is something I'm proud of given the strength of NPA, and I was able to go undefeated until the semifinals of USPA last season.

Hi, I started playing VGC in Regulation C and its been a great deal of fun, community is friendly and makes me feel comfortable. I can tell you now 6/8 of my badges are VGC related, with SDC and TC being the obvious exceptions. Im active, and my badges represent my metagame interest and investment if not my metagame knowledge. Known as the EV girl in many places, responsible for lots of Smogon sets and helped a friend reach 6-3 at his first regional. I love Pokemon and VGC, so Im just happy to be here and will work to the best of my ability to help, whether it would be scouting, teambuilding, test games, or metagame spitballing,
