Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I have been playing ADV OU for about 2 years, and have been competing in tours for 1.5 years. I have been fortunate enough to have a relatively fast come up that I am very proud of, placing top 32 in many tours (ADV Winter Seasonal 2024, Old Money Open 2024, Mugulis Cup 2024, Winter Classic 2025), going 6-3 in ADVR 2, and making it to Finals of Jimvitational 2 Playins. I am mostly self taught, but I feel like I am reaching the limits of what I can learn on my own and have started to plateau as a result.
I still struggle with a few things that I think have really been holding me back:
- I am able to understand how I lose games after the fact, but struggle to identify less obvious lose cons mid game.
- I am not able to maintain consistency with how well I am playing. I feel that this is due to struggling with some smaller scale decision making, as well as being slow to adapt to the cadence my opponent is playing at.
- I am really terrible at identifying structures (both in scouts and mid game) and effectively counter teaming on my own.
- Similar to the above point, I struggle to identify weaknesses when team building. The number of times I have tried team building, only to create something that gets destroyed by more than one common OU threat is ridiculous.
I am sure there are more flaws that I am unaware of, but this is what I have been able to identify on my own.
