The meta you would like to rate: ORAS OU
A brief summary of your experience with the tier: It's been only a year now since I'm attending Smogon Tournaments with the goal of being an ORAS specialist, I know really well that my CV is really poor compared to other players but I see myself as a fresh rising player in ORAS with a whole new vision of the tier that adapted very well to the ORAS meta. I find that interesting to have the review of a "new" player that learnt teambuilding and oras meta with the hard way. Apart from that, even if I don't have that much experience i still have a lot of notable wins and a few performances that show my investment and motivation in the tier!
Ways you've demonstrated knowledge of the metagame:
- Won ORASCL I
- Went 4-2 in ADPL 8 in ORAS
- Consistent player in ORAS Circuit, still improving!

The meta you would like to rate: DPP OU - BW OU
A brief summary of your experience with the tier: Been playing since 2016, took competitive Pokemon more seriously since last year; I got back to playing old generations OU and I’ve built solid experience across multiple tiers. While I’ve played tours and performed consistently, the area where I’ve grown the most is in team construction and management, leading team Italy to a win in RCOP, supporting DPP and BW slots too. Managing and building for multiple slots sharpened my abilities in prep/teambuilding and in game.

- BWPL BW OU starter
- RCOP and ADV WC manager, winning both (DPP OU player 7-1, BW OU player 6-1)
- 4-2 Pokemon Perfect PL in BW OU
- good runs in current Seasonals
- constant presence in the BW community
- completed DPP OU tutoring in October and lots of experience on ladder and in teambuilding / match preparation
