Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
I've been playing competitive pokemon for just over 2 years now. Started playing USUM Battle Spot Singles from nothing but ingame experience (im talking beating elite 4 lol here not cart laddering), over that 2 years accomplished a lot and made a name for myself in the scene and even became a tutor for the tier and writing a lot of the resources and analyses that are around today. Placed high in tours, I'm currently in one that I'm in the final 6 see if we can win that, managed in BSPL to finals, probably the most active player atm in the BSS scene. Play a few other tiers that I've picked up in the meanwhile, started with RBY OU which Im pretty good at now (I think with a decent amount of practice, I could probably get to SPL level...tho rip to that), played DPP, ADV, USUM OU, some of the lower tiers, done randbats runs and have had brief forays into the monotype ladder too.
My monotype experience actually starts from 3v3, I originally started using Mono-Steel to style on my friends in stupid games and then kinda realised that monotype was pretty cool. I'd continue using Monotype teams on ladder, eventually getting 1550 with a mono-poison team (https://pokepast.es/3b36fa36af8c37e6) which was top 100 at the time against meta teams. I enjoyed the idea of having restrictions self imposed which allowed you to explore pokemon in different unique ways and find new niches that would otherwise not really be explored. By having limited tools, I think it really means your creativity game needs to be upped. I played a bit of actual monotype in gen 7 and did alright with Mono Normal though it was never a priority at the time since I was busy managing a BSPL team but haven't really played too much in SWSH other than briefly taking the Mono Water team from the sample teams list and laddering and playing a few people in the monotype room with it.
The main thing that actually encouraged me to sign up and learn monotype was actually the activity and passion of the scene. I want to be involved in something like that.
Are you able to use either Discord?: Yes
