Orthworm wriggles its way to huge tournament win in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Joaquin Salerno may not be a name you have heard in the competitive Pokémon scene, but with his first Regional win on May 7—with the unusual Orthworm, to top things off—fans and players alike would be foolish to not respect this upcoming VGC star.
Salerno started out in the São Paulo Regional with an impressive 11-3 run in Swiss followed by an astoundingly dominant run on day two, where he beat the VGC veteran and 2018 Pokémon World Champion Paul Ruiz in a tight 2-1 finals set.
