36 Jeudy Azzarelli - Pokémon VGC Player, 2014 World Championships Finalist

#6Pokemon1LifeStory

What a journey competitive Pokémon Video Game player Jeudy Azzarelli has been on with the franchise - and that journey is still young! From playing the Trading Card Game with his uncle to finishing 2nd at the 2014 Video Game World Championships, taking a step back from the game to re-entering with full force, discovering a talent for athletics and a love of travel & food along the way, come take a stroll through Jeudy's fascinating life story; and, of course, learn all about the 6 Pokémon most special to him throughout this ongoing journey that he'd choose for his Dream Team. Someone who pours his heart & soul into everything he does, be inspired by Jeudy's wonderful approach to life: hang out with Jeudy & me and let us #MakeYourDayMerry!
