-- Hi ratpacker, thank you for taking the time to do this interview 🐀 Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?

-- Where does the name ratpacker come from and what does it mean?

-- How did you end up getting into competitive Pokémon and Smogon tournaments? I'm always surprised when new players suddenly perform very well; did you have any prior experience in related formats before playing Doubles?

-- What was your experience in DWCOP like? Did you expect to do as well as you did, considering it was your first DOU team tournament?

-- How has your DPL experience on the Church been so far? As you were bought for 20k you could be considered their marquee player; does this price tag contribute to the pressure, or does it give you more confidence to perform?

-- You have already faced the Cold Crew, Cratermakers, and the Thieves. Whom of these players and teams were most difficult to prepare for? And do you have anyone from the Sp_ndas, Tramplers, or Lands you really want to play against?

-- How do you look back on your Majors run, wherein you made top 8 by going 7-2?

-- You made the finals of DUU Swiss Kickoff before losing to eventual teammate Nido-Rus; did you enjoy playing a lower tier and what have you learned from it? Also, are you interested in other metagames like DUbers and/or older generations of Doubles?

-- What has been your favorite set to play so far? And what player were you most nervous to play against?

-- Outside of DPL, is there anyone particular you would like to play in a tournament?

-- You have an excellent record in SV so far so adapting to its new metagame hasn't been a problem. Do you prefer SV to SS, and why? What do you consider the biggest changes between metagames?

-- eragon recently posted about Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu potentially being suspect worthy. Would you agree with this, or do you identify different Pokémon as problematic right now?

-- Is there anything you're looking forward to from Pokémon Home?

-- What does your preparation for tournaments look like? Are you the type to rigorously scout and build a team in response, or are you a more 'playing'-oriented type of person?

-- Could you show us a team and/or game that resembles your building and playing style, and explain why?
(ofc bc dpl is ongoing i'm not expecting u to show any prep or anything. if u wanna show a SS replay or w/e thats fine also)

-- What has been your favorite part about Doubles and its community so far? And is there anything you would like to see done differently or added to Doubles and/or its community?

-- Did or do you look up to anyone as a player when you started playing tournaments?

-- Do you have any goals with regards to Smogon/tournaments for the future?

-- What is your favorite Pokémon, and why?

-- What are your hobbies and interests outside of playing Pokémon?

-- Who would you like to see being interviewed next, if anyone?

-- Is there anyone you would like to give a shoutout or have any other kind words for?

-- And lastly, is there anything else you would add to the interview?
