Bio
I have been competing since the start of the 2024 season, and have seen strong improvement over these first few years. I usually live in Massachusetts, but am currently studying abroad in Italy until May 18th. I am really looking forward to the opportunity to playing for an NPA team and building strong connections with more players! I will have lots of flexibility over the summer to contribute to the team however necessary.

I’m a 25 y/o Doubles OU player mainly but I’ve been playing VGC since 2014. I returned to competitive Pokemon about a year ago after an hiatus and have been seeing good tournament success. I take team tours seriously and like to prep and scout hard, I’m hoping to get scooped up for 3K to support.

Accomplishments
Biggest vgc recently I'd say
Smogon live tour 8-3 (vgc reg I one)
Sevilla Regional 2026 8-4 (only regional I have gone to, delete dozo with tatsu def)

Bio
I have been playing vgc for more than 5 years non stop. I cannot go to regionals (I only could to one and made d2 where I lost twice in a row a strange awfull mu), so I play online (VR or some other big tours) and locals around Málaga.
I am really creative in the builder, so I make my own teams but in a week format tour I can adapt to playing whatever, as I am used to analysing replays or doubles ou tours where I need to change teams between weaks.

Bio
Started playing in 2015. I won Argentina Nationals in 2016 and went to worlds and multiple internationals for 3 years. After pandemic I tried to keep up a bit but eventually stopped playing and just stayed as manager of NPA. Now with Champions I'm back playing and quickly adapted to the meta (I didn't like SV). I can pilot multiple teams or strategies, so I won't need to repeat teams during rounds.

Bio
Yo! Sir Aaron here and I'm a VGC player from India aiming to become the best VGC player in the world in the near future. I got introduced to VGC in 2016 and started seriously grinding from Sword and Shield's VGC 2022 series 12 onwards. Since I'm a switchless player from India, we don't really have a irl circuit and hence I haven't gotten an opportunity to prove I can do really good at majors. And so I started competing online, doing well in almost every SmogonVGC tour and team leagues I could play, getting nominated for best SmogonVGC player of 2025 award! As a teambuilder and helper, I have been trying my best flowcharting lines to help my goats like Ze Banded(Birmingham regionals and worlds 2025), Tilzie(EUIC 2025), Alex Qian(Vancouver 2025) and Kommander(EUIC 2025) perform well at various events I couldn't attend myself; with Ze Banded and Tilzie day 2ing Birmingham and EUIC 2025 with my own team! Recently Kiran Singh also placed 2nd in a reg f gc using my version of a farig hands basculegion team he reverse engineered from my ladder tour replays.
Lastly, I wanna say I'm a serious no-nonsense team player and a good listener always looking forward to improve and always open to feedback. I have been working really hard for several years now and you can expect a lot of professionalism from me so I really hope I get the chance I have been chasing for a long time now. Hope I get drafted, trust my talent!!

Bio
This is my first season competing in VGC (and therefore applying to NPA), but I've had considerable success both online and in the official circuit this year and have most likely locked my first Worlds invite. I only started playing VGC towards the end of Reg F part 1, so a lot of my knowledge of the game is very recent but playing a new format such as Champions has me very excited!

Other than playing, I am also proficient in teambuilding, having popularized a meta-defining archetype in "Paraflinch" as it is infamously known as. With my team, my building group had a staggering 9 Day 2s out of 10 possible, showing that the team could perform among the best even if others had written off the archetype. I will also be able to bring said teambuilding skills to whatever team wants me!

Bio
I've been playing VGC since I was a senior in 2018, but I fell in love with the game when I started college. I have a ton of fun traveling to events and competing with my friends from NC State, and I've really enjoyed managing and competing in the Collegiate VGC League with them. Online leagues have been a great source of practice for me, and I would look forward to the chance to compete against some of the strongest players in the world as a part of NPA!

Bio
Haven’t played much this season because I’m a new father but have been grinding champions for NAIC and am always a threat in a team tour. 3x NPA player for the Islanders/Stars and two of those seasons had 4 or more wins. A benefit of drafting me is I’m not very scoutable because of the lack of IRLs and online tours played
