What tier do you want to learn?: ORAS OU
Tell us a little about yourself: 21 year old student from the UK currently studying for a Masters in Geology. I'm a long time lurker and so have a good grasp of competitive battling through the years. However, I'm primarily an ADV/DPPt player at heart, and have never truly adapted to the more recent metagames. I haven't had a lot of success in gen 6 in general, especially when it comes to team building, and so I'm hoping that the Battling 101 scheme will give me more confidence in the current metagame.
