Username: Zephyr2007 PS! Username: Zephyr2007 Your timezone: gmt +5.5 Usual Hours of Availability: I'll probably be available from my 1-5 PM on weekdays and basically anytime reasonable on weekends Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon: I started on Smogon in around April 2020, when I joined the CAP community and played in a few tournaments there. After a bit, I saw that UU had a suspect test going on and tried to participate, which... didn't go super well lol. I then went to sign up for UU Majors, where I went 4-0 in my pool, only to be beaten in round 2. I still play UU, but I feel like the meta's changed almost completely since last month, and I've lost my hold on it. I'd love to work on learning the meta and teambuilding, since (i think) I'm a decent enough pilot. Are you able to use Discord?: Ye, Zephyr2007#6247 Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Ye

Username: Lilburr PS! Username: Lilburr Your timezone: GMT +0 Generation: BW OU Usual Hours of Availability: 4PM-11PM +0, can flex a bit earlier/later if needed by the tutor
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I'm an experienced player that primarily plays lower tiers, mostly UU, which I played in Snake. I'm an active tutor in that tier too. I'm mostly confident in my ability to play and I've actually done decently well in BW OU before, getting to Round 11 in the most recent Summer Seasonal, but it was mostly with mooched teams. With the recent announcement that SPL will exclusively be OU tiers, I want to learn to build and play the tier in a much more self-sufficient fashion so that I can at least have a chance at playing, and I figured that getting a tutor to help me to take that step would be ideal.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokémon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing Pokémon Showdown since august, starting off in gen 8 PU. I became bored with Gen 8 PU and found myself playing quite the bit of Gen 8 ZU starting late September. I've been primarily playing ZU since then, and played a little bit of Little cup, Over Used, and NFE [Gen 8]. I started to pick up Gen 2 OU, but didn't have the best success with it. I do really like the way it plays more long term instead of short term.
