Assigned to RB Golbat

Shoddy Battle nick: dayren.
Age: 16
Time zone: GMT+8
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): Almost all day.
Do you want to play in the tournament: I'd like to
Experience level: Zero
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): I'd like to become competent in OU and Ubers
A little about myself: I'm quite experienced in RSE OU, and I'm not that bad at RSE Ubers. Netbattle's getting quite boring, and so I thought I should catch up with the rest of the community and start playing the latest generation.
Pokemon aside, I'm a junior in high school, I play tennis, and I can speak three languages. 8)
 
Assigned to Legacy Raider

Shoddy Battle Name: .blue13
Age: 15
Time Zone: GMT -5 (Eastern Standard I think, Im in Maryland)
Regular Hours: Mostly 2:30 p.m. to around 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) I'm on sporadically after that time. Weekends I'm on most of the day unless I have to go someplace.
Tournement Status/Opinion: Yeah I'll give it a go. Should test myself against the other skilled trainers.
Experience: Playing casually since R/Y/B; Competitively since the start of D/P
Tiers in order of Preference: OU mostly, then new UU
Info About Me: There's nothing much to say. I'm an average guy living a normal life. I hang with my friends, play sports and games (Brawl, Sonic, GH, Retro stuff like Megaman 9, etc), and have a GPA of like 3.8 throughout my time in school. I really enjoy using a(n) Empoleon and or SubCMJarchi so I'd like to build around one of thw two, but my team building needs work. My prediction skills are also sub-par. I feel like I've lost all my knowledge on the two with the new metagame.

I'd like to request Stathakis or Legacy Raider as my tudor; if not, I understand.

Age: 16
Time zone: Pacific
Do you want to play in the tournament- yes
Regular Online Hours: I am normally on during week days from 6:30-11pm(pacific time)
And pretty much on around any time on weekends.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): ou.ubers,uu
Experience level*: I think I am fairly decent and my prediction skills are ok but not great. I would say I need serious help with team building. Every time I feel I built a good team it ends up being bad… I want to be able to build different types of teams. I don't know too much about synergy and which movesets are appropriate for their purpose on the team. I stopped battle since December but I’d like to start again.
