Ubers Flying Economy V top 16
Bio
Hi I’m Alucard_MCRX, and this is my first NPA tour entry! I have been playing competitive Pokemon for about 3 years now, and while I’ve only recently started playing VGC (I’m mostly a doubles player), I am a hard worker and a team player and would love the opportunity to compete and help support your team. I’d like to think that I make good plays with lots of excellent reads on what my opponent will do next. I also am good at using both meta and anti-meta teams. My biggest weakness is team building, I would need help and advice from teammates to achieve my full potential in my team. Don’t let my inexperience with VGC fool you, I quickly adapt to challenges and have been practicing hard. I would greatly appreciate if one of you would kindly draft me, I promise that I won’t let you all down!

Hi, I'm Knolln (Nolan). I started playing VGC in October 2025 during Reg H. I have always played video games competitively growing up while playing Pokemon casually on the side, so I figured I might as well give VGC a try. I watch VGC content daily and play very often. I was drafted for the most recent USPA season (Team Wisconsin) but unfortunately went 0-2 with some very close games. I am currently Masters in Champions at the 2k elo mark. I am looking to improve my play and joining this league will help me do so. I hope to get the opportunity to play but if not I wish everyone the best of luck! Thanks for reading!
