5 MEweedle - Pokémon GO Competitor with Regional, International & World-Level Wins

In just two years, Maxwell Ember (in-game name MEweedle) went from discovering competitive Pokémon GO to winning the World Championships in the Senior Division. Hear Maxwell's extraordinary journey, from his dad introducing him to the game (that's right - not the other way around!) all the way up to also winning the 2024 Europe International Championships, via the events that didn't go so well, what he learned along the way, and the vital importance of the community. What about the 6 Pokémon Maxwell would choose for his Dream Team? It's all here in the fifth episode of Chazingdra Chats! Let Maxwell & I brighten your day! 🌞
