The player is Nicholas Morales, who had never competed at a regional prior to Baltimore. With an incredible rain team of Pelipper, Archaludon, Maushold, Basculegion, Amoonguss, and Incineroar, Morales took his first Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> run all the way to the finals against one of the most accomplished VGC players in the world, Paul Chua.<\/p>
In that finals match, it was Maushold who stole the show with two huge Population Bombs. First, the mouse family used a ten-hit Population Bomb on its ally Archaludon to give the latter six defensive Stamina boosts. From there, Archaludon was then able to tank so many hits while dishing out enough damage to secure the game.<\/p>
