Shoddy Battle nick: BLAKE
Age:13
Time zone:EST

[mercuryenigma]

Assigned to cornflake

Shoddy Battle nick: mercuryenigma
Age: Teenager
Time zone: EST
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 8:00- 12:00pm, this week only though. Other than that, 8:00- 9:30pm
Experience level*:A little about myself: I have read all about IV's and EV's and such but I am missing the experience aspect. I am more than willing to learn, as I am good at that.

 

[Chickensandwichk]

Assigned to Calciphoce

Shoddy Battle nick: chickensandwich555
Age: 16
Time zone: PST
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 7pm-9pm for sure. Usually more than that though. I log of and on a lot but I do tend to be at the comp for long amounts of time at a time.
Experience level*:A little about myself: On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) I'm a 7 I think. I used to use a standard team around sweepers and walls but now I use a team that is centered around a strategy while still trying to counter the OU threats. I'd say I'm about average or a little better than average. My prediction skills are alright but unless they run standard sets, my team usually goes under. I might have to sac. some HP or a Poke to learn how to counter as well.

Thanks! =)

 

[predatorywasps]

Assigned to Tochukaso

Shoddy Battle nick: predatorywasps
Age: 15
Time zone: PST?(california)
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): eastern time:around 6:15-9
Experience level*:A little about myself: I'm not too
good, but I'm not that bad. I'm trying to start using central strategies and have better prediction skills. covering my pokemon's weaknesses is something I need to work on and pretty much an overall aspect of competitive pokemon battling. also my play style needs some work as I tend to let pokemon buff themselves while I try stalling. current wins to losses is 36:41

 

[Pillowrath]

Assigned to Roy

Shoddy Battle nick: Pillowrath
Age: 16
Time zone: GMT - 8
Regular Online Hours: I can definitely be on from Midnight to 8 am (EST), but if there is no available tutor then, I could try coming in the afternoon.
Experience level*: Played ADV decently but hated OU anyway. GSC, RBY and less played metagames of ADV (UU, Ubers, NU) were what I was good at. Haven't played pokemon for a while due to studies. I have got NO idea what the DP metagame is about, as I never bothered to follow it. I need to catch the basics, and I guess I can figure out the rest. I would like it if Zerowing tutors me.

 

[joshua]

Assigned to Venom

Shoddy Battle nick:josh ua
Age:14
Time zone: GMT
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): I'm can easily be on at 2pm Eastern Time, but if needs be can go on between 10am-4pm Eastern Time. I can be on more at weekends.
Experience level*:A little about myself: I started playing Advance OU shortly before DP was out, so didn't paly it muhc but was able to play it reasonably well. I've tried to build quite a few teams in DP but only one I have found to be sucessful. I'm and generally not good at the relying on resistances and team syenergy that seems popular in DP, and still just build a team that counters the main threats, and I am not familiar with the DP metagame and I am not good at prediction, and would like to improve on it.

 

[Sklez]

Assigned to Mysterious Stallion

Shoddy Battle nick: Sklez
Age: 16
Time zone: GMT+9 30
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 5-11 pm weekdays and 12pm-12am weekends (thats in +9 30 time)
Experience level*: Very much a beginner, although I did well in the Australian tour, I do not know much about team building or advanced strategy at all.
A little about myself: I live in South Australia and to tell you the truth I haven't played much Pokemon at all lately but only because I was never great at competitive battling. This would give me the opportunity to learn a lot and become competent. What I really need to improve more on is learning what each Pokemon can do and having my best counter out against it.

 

[Stall]

Assigned to Slice n Dice

Shoddy Battle nick: Stall
Age: 17
Time zone: EST (GMT -5)
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 8PM-12AM weekdays. Erratic times on weekends.
Experience level*: Played ADV seriously for over a year, but then took a long hiatus. Just beginning to learn DP, and still not fully confidant in the metagame.
A little about myself: 17 and living in Ottawa, Canada, I am a big sports fan. If I'm not watching sports in my free time, I enjoy playing strategy and tactics game.

If at all possible, I would like to request Slice, since I know how great of a battler he is.

Shoddy Battle nick: krlitoxs
Age: 19
Time zone: GMT +1

[Ranger Blue]

Assigned to Taylor

Shoddy Battle nick: Ranger Blue/Ranger Blue0
Age: 16
Time zone: GMT

Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 2-4pm Eastern (I think) is safest, though I'm usually on alot more on certain days.
​

Experience level: Quite experienced, with a Shoddy rating of ~1300, but most of the teams I build don't do well against decent opponents, and I haven't been able to make much progress on my own.

 

[dekzeh]

Assigned to Havak

Shoddy Battle nick: D is for Dangerous / Crucified Barbara
Age: 17
Time zone: GMT -3
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): Tbh, I'm almost always online. I've being a real nerd lately.
Experience level: I'm good, but I still have problems with the transition from ADV to DP. I've already made to the top 50 or so on the Shoddy ladder but I need help with team building.
A little about myself: I'm just an average guy who has a lot of free time untill university starts (june) and I'm willing to finally get into DP and become good at it.

If possible, I'd like a tutor who knows about ADV so its easier for him to understand my problems :P

 

[Gero]

Assigned to Spaniard

Shoddy Battle nick: Gero
Age: 15
Time zone: GMT - 03:00, Brazil
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): Random times starting from 2:00pm. Weekends starting from 8:00am. Almost all the times I'm not at school. (-03:00)
Experience level: Well, I know the basics, about types and some strategies, but I'm not good yet. I'd like to be trated as a complete rookie, to remember some things if possible. That's because I don't know much of the new strategies of D/P too.
A little about myself: I'm a male Brazilian, I enjoy life. I'm in my first time showing up at the forums. I play every kind of videogames, I'm at school. Well, not much to say... I like pokemon.

 

[weakestlink33]

Shoddy Battle nick: weakestlink33
Age: 18
Time zone: Eastern
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 4-12 pm (depending on homework and activities)
Experience level*: I've played pokemon since R/B (summer before 5th grade), but have always been more of a pokemon collector than a battler. I've tried competitive battling on netbattle before, but I never really knew what I was doing and lost about 85% of the time
A little about myself: I'm in college and have a lot of work, but I also still like to relax and reminisce about the old days playing pokemon :P
