Username: Goomy_Hat

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: CST 4:30 - 7 PM, 8-11 PM, anytime weekends
What tier do you want to learn?:XY OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I live in the U.S. and is interested in electrical engineering and the pokemon Goomy. I'm a complete beginner to competitive battling (I only really understand EV training) and I want to learn how play competitively. I've played a few battles with my friends, but that's it. I want to be in the program to learn how to build teams and play better in the most popular tier there is.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?: Sure.

Why I should be tutored?:
For every educated battler, there's more battles to fight, and having more and better battles are the objective of the system.
I can learn quickly if theories are explained, meaning I won't require too much effort to teach.
Everybody needs a starting point.
I haven't found any success attempting to learn from the rest of the internet.

Age:22
Your timezone and usual hours of availability:EST, 5pm-1am
What tier do you want to learn?:XY OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I've been a trainer since a relative gave me a used gameboy color and pokemon red,blue and yellow back in 1999. My favorite is Crystal (which is probably obvious due to my avatar). I fell in love with dark types with the release of Umbreon and Houndoom. I work with all sorts of types though, and have raised various teams and dabbled in breeding. Aside from pokemon, I'm a college student pursuing a license for massage therapy. I'm somewhat a gypsy and backpacked the country on foot.
Will you be willing to do tutee talk threads on your tutors?:Yes
Why should you be tutored?: I've raised pokemon simply for the fun and love of my pokemon. I'm interested in competitive battling and would like to raise a specific team with proper IV training so that they may battle to their fullest potential. I believe I can achieve this through coaching of a smogan tutor and it would be an awesome experience. :)

Just wanted to thank everyone for the great turnout. As always, some of the time zones were hard to matchup, but we did the best that we could. If you are having issues meeting with your tutee, mention that in your tutee thread, and we'll give you priority next round.

You are required to make a tutee talk thread within one week, no matter if any lessons have taken place or not. You will be subbed out for another applicant if no thread is made.
