Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
I’ve been playing Pokémon showdown since I first discovered competitive in gen 6, and as such I’ve played to obtain a skill level to give my favorite YouTubers a run for their money— despite how unrealistic of a dream that’s been. My goals, however, shifted after scraping into top 500 in randomized formats like gens 3, 5, 6, and 9, to achieving it in gen 3 OU, peaking at around top 50 (albeit it with a premade kingdra para spam team). Now that I see just how large the gap truly is, I’m hoping to take my journey far more seriously by actually understand the complexities of the game like proper team building, exploring any additional formats as directed, and play at a level showing considerably decent tournament participation that shows I hold my own in a pinch.

one of my first of matches was playing a game of ADV AND ORAS. out of all meta games I have played I realized that I enjoyed adv whether it be from the intricacies and details from before the physical special split and unique sets and niches can have.As for ORAS it was the best tier I ever laddered in reaching a 1500elo once. I realized I not only want to have fun in playing these old metagames I actually want to be better at it.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've played showdown very casually since 2021, but didn't try to improve until about 8-12 months ago, courtesy of Jimothy Cool and BKC on youtube. I feel good about my skill, but I want to go from just pushing buttons well and mostly stealing teams to being a skilled teambuilder and having better vision and planning in battle. I've signed up for these tiers because I want to play in the Smogon Classic eventually, and I want to pick up another tier besides ADV.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I got onroaded to ADV about six months ago, have a bit of tour experience but not really satisfied with my skill level and looking to improve. I've played some of and been interested in DPP and BW for a while and really want to improve at those as well. I play almost every OU every now and then but I'm particularly focused on improving at these three oldgens. I really enjoy teambuilding in all three, and would like to reach a skill level where I can do it more comfortably.

I would like to become more competent in this tier.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I played gen 7 and 8 when they were current gen, but not at any competitive level. Recently I've been playing them in tours like Masters, STour and Seasonals and not only have I found I've improved, but I've been enjoying playing these gens a lot more. I'd love the chance to refresh my memory a bit and learn the intricacies of either of these metas in the hopes to continue growing and playing them more competitively.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I have been playing ADV OU for about 2 years, and have been competing in tours for 1.5 years. I have been fortunate enough to have a relatively fast come up that I am very proud of, placing top 32 in many tours (ADV Winter Seasonal 2024, Old Money Open 2024, Mugulis Cup 2024, Winter Classic 2025), going 6-3 in ADVR 2, and making it to Finals of Jimvitational 2 Playins. I am mostly self taught, but I feel like I am reaching the limits of what I can learn on my own and have started to plateau as a result.
I still struggle with a few things that I think have really been holding me back:
- I am able to understand how I lose games after the fact, but struggle to identify less obvious lose cons mid game.
- I am not able to maintain consistency with how well I am playing. I feel that this is due to struggling with some smaller scale decision making, as well as being slow to adapt to the cadence my opponent is playing at.
- I am really terrible at identifying structures (both in scouts and mid game) and effectively counter teaming on my own.
- Similar to the above point, I struggle to identify weaknesses when team building. The number of times I have tried team building, only to create something that gets destroyed by more than one common OU threat is ridiculous.
I am sure there are more flaws that I am unaware of, but this is what I have been able to identify on my own.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): i have been playing competitive oras ou for a while. I have been getting a decent amount of tier knowledge. i probably know how to deal with certain playstyles and matchups. however, i often make questionable plays and ended up losing my games. I want to get more knowledge on the tier, as well as learning how to pilot teams and make winning plays

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I'm pretty good in the Old Gens except this one. No matter what I seem to not be able to really excel in the generation and I want to fix that, especially since it's my 2nd favorite Old Gen.
