Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started to play competitive in 2017, so I played SM during long time. Now I start in SS but I don't really know how to build correctly or improve my gameplay, and how to have a great gameplan when I start a game. This is why I'm here.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started to play early 2018, I'm an ORAS mainer but I want to play more generations, being GSC the one I would like to learn now. I have played many tournaments, mainly on the spanish forums. But also tours like DPL, APL and more. I would like to improve my level and knowledge in GSC because I'm pretty new to the tier and I think that the best way to learn a tier in a short time, is with a tutor.

I explored the tier and its old gens during this year, and now I'd like to learn a new tier. I really like building and discovering new sets, and I think that's an advantage. However, my ingame is not the best, and learning a new tier will help me being better. Finally, learning OU is also a great way for me to help my mates during teams tournaments.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I began seriously playing SM OU in 2019, before switching to National Dex following Sword and Shield’s release. I haven’t really had tournament or ladder success, but I was on council following the Big 5 ban up until recently. While my building skills are sharp, I feel as if I’m not able to properly battle, as I struggle to win even in good matchups.

A little bit about me and competitive Pokemon: I've been playing UU and participating in the forum since mid-Jan, and i've been trying to learn more about the tier everyday. My peak is roughly 1460 on ladder, but I'm sitting at 1330 atm ( I know this isn't impressive, but I think it's alright considering I'm still quite new). I'd really like to improve on my basic battling fundamentals, learn about my preferred play style and correct my battling thought process and i think an experienced player could really help me out with this.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started competitive mons about 4 1/2 months ago playing SS OU during IoA. Was able to get around top 100 on the ladder at the time so I decided to join Jamvad’s Academy PL where I played ORAS and had a decent run there. Since that time I started playing more ORAS compared to SS and had some notable victories on the ORAS ladder and other premier leagues against some good ORAS players. However aside from the couple pl matches I’ve had, I still have a hard time gauging what is currently used in the tier. The ladder atm doesn’t help me out with much so I can’t really build or play reliably bc I don’t know what sets so many mons in the meta run and I think a tutor would be beneficial for helping me understand the meta in depth.
