Welcome back to another PU Player of the Week. This time we have an interview with the neo moderator of the PU room: MaroGod !! Enjoy, leave some feedback and feel free to ask other questions!!
I'm a young Aussie bloke thats lived in WA for all of my life and currently finishing off my last year of school which ends in about 3 months. When i'm not playing mons im generally playing different games, watching WWE, cooking or listening to music.
Where did you get your name from?
I've actually had multiple "mains" for a long time but i originally started off with Cubone Kid around the time i first got into battling after a long hiatus i came back to PS and changed it to MaroGod eventually going with two G's (like purple) but recently falling into bad times i wanted to change even the slightest of things so i went back to MaroGod making sure every main alt having some sort of reference to the Cubone Line since i love em.
How and when did you get into competitive battling?
I enjoyed watching competitive battling from Shofu, Haydunn and DunDeal Showdown eventually i wanted to get into it myself but didn't know how eventually i came across Pokemon Showdown back in the BW2 days where i mainly stuck towards the NU tier due to enjoying the ability to make these considered "bad" pokemon be amazing due to being in the lowest of the low.
After losing interest i came back with a spark but NU felt different and i could not get a grasp on how to play it so i stuck in OMs and followed the PU tier until they got there own room and remained silent through out X/Y attempting to learn the tier (Admittedly terribly) all of that leads up to now with somehow becoming a moderator for the room.
What's your favorite playstyle and why?
Balance or Bulky Offense teams are my favorites both due to how they work and how i play being a very and unnecessary risky player i like the ability to fall back on defensive backbones but these styles all open up my favorite pokemon to be at there most effective like Marowak, Articuno, Tangela ect.
Are there some underrated and overrated pokemons in the current metagame?
Mienfoo still needs more love its BP set is amazing and utterly destroys all forms of defensive squads people are throwing around these days (side mention to Ampharos nice bulky Cleric with offensive presence is great rn).
Overrated is easily Def Swanna and Chinchou if it be a core or separate people give these mons too much credit both being broken so easily and the reason it can thrive atm is people not using more offensive threats.
What are your thoughts about the recent Machoke suspect?
Originally i just did not care after keeping up with the whole Machoke debate on PR and then the suspect happening i just let whatever happened happen either vote doesnt destroy the tier which what mattered but after seeing the reasoning from both sides all the arguments for No Ban have just been bad tbh the reasoning for keeping Machoke is still bad we don't need it and never have or will.
Are there any pokemons that you would like to drop from NU or to rise from PU?

How was your experience in PUPL? Can you tell us how did you relate with your teammates?
Honestly i dislike playing for PU atm the meta is boring and i can barely be assed making teams but PUPL was so much fun with the Nimbasa Ninetales team everyone was a blast to play with and talking to Tect, Optical Real, -Grim, Thisbemyalt, Evan., Andromeda., r0ady and everyone else was enjoyable ending in the finals made it all the better.
The games were fun and challenging after R3 i took a break since it just annoyed me and i needed to catch up with irl stuff and i was put back in the finals where i fought cryalot for the very final match so i brought a random team with Marowak on it and lost unfortunately but was still enjoyable battling with cry in the final match.
Have you ever played other tiers? If yes, which ones and why?
I've played all the tiers at least once but find myself only liking either NU or UU and have actually been getting more into NU as of late mostly due to the difference in metas and mons.
Who do you look up to / admire most as a PU player?
I can't pick just one in this case as Tect, RawMelon and Optical Real have always helped me out with this tier and still do when i really need the help. Tect has always been there to help me get a hold for the tier, Raw and Optical always give me tips even still with battling (basically tone down unnecessary risky plays) so yeah big thanks to those three.
Can you name a new PU player that has potential to become good?
Everyone has the potential to be good in the future there really isnt anyone i can say has a better chance over another.
If you could make one change to the tier (can be anything), what would it be?
At least try out/get back mons we realistically wont get from NU like Claydol, Gastrodon, Manectric, Piloswine, Torterra, Aurorus ect ect.
What kind of music do you listen to?
Jack of all trades with music with my main interests sticking around Rap and Metal genres specially Shizzy Sixx, Skillet, Hollywood Undead and Tyr.
Can you provide a team that reflects you as a player, as well as the current metagame?
Team revolves around Articuno + CB Leafeon which deals with a large amount of defensive cores, Golem is the normal + electric check, Lumi for defog + water immunity, Ferno cause wincon, ScarfMime since needed more speed and Healing Wish is beautiful.
