We interview Yuma Kinugawa, a player from Japan who recently placed Top 16 at the Pokémon World Championships. He's known for getting Top 4 at Japanese Nationals in 2021, for his web presence in Japan, and for using creative strategies such as "HB Nihilego", a Nihilego with its stats in HP and Defense.
