Info: I’ve been playing mons competitively for about 3 years. Gotten into a bunch of formats, past gens and lower tiers but mono is special to me. Peaked #2 in both gen 8 and 9, so I know the basics of the tier to say the least. Nowadays I often find myself making dumb mistakes and would like someone to help me get to the next level. Would like to try tournaments in the future and really think I’d need to improve before that.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started with SS NDOU but sucked for a long damn time so I started playing SS NDUU where I landed third in a seasonal, branched out to other formats like SS NDAG, SS UU, RU, and NU as well and were pretty competent at them, eventually went back to SS NDOU and figured out my builder flaws. Gen 9 happens and I'm really frustrated with Tera so I drop SV NDOU completely for literally any non-Tera tier bar SV NDUU and RU, I had some good sucesses in other tiers and even got into some team tour, now as a more better player in terms of building and gameplay I want to try to apply this to SV ND OU again but the variancy and Tera still feels a little daunting.
