Usual Hours of Availability: Weeknights after 4-5pm, most of the day weekends
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Started playing competitively around 2013-2014 albeit very mediocre as a monotype player. Started maining PU in early 2015 around the end of ORAS, though still didn't know too much about the actual competitiveness of the game, just played with fun mons for the most part. Around the end of ORAS, I got much more involved in the PU scene, participating in more tours and attempting to contribute as much as possible. I've been a PU main since then, seeing all of SM, USUM, and current gen, while also somewhat retroactively becoming more involved in Old Gens PU, especially DPP and BW.
Mostly hoping to improve my building skills as well as get better with higher-level play since my run in PUPL this year was sub-par to say the least.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Was a RU main for a few months before I dropped competitive Pokemon. Returned a few years later still playing RU until I dabbled in a few tiers and found I enjoyed PU much more than RU, especially after Crown Tundra drops. Now I play mostly PU and have begun to expand into old gen lower tiers like BW PU or ADV NU. Would like to improve my PU skills.

Usual Hours of Availability: Sun-Thur I'm can be on pretty much whenever thanks to my current work schedule, Fri-Sat I'm around during the late afternoon-night.
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): In short, I've been playing off and on since DPP since 2006-7 or so whenever they came out. I was pretty big into competitive from then to 2011 or so but mostly on Marriland back when it was a competitive site still. I took a short break as a result of school for a while but came back to Smogon during the B/W,B/W2 era and played in the UUPL,UPL the RUPL and the OMPL in 2014 or so and played fair bit during this time before taking a break again for awhile because of school stuff before coming back in 2017-2018 and getting into the PU community more, tournaments, writing a analyses, etc. but during 2020 I could only pop in here and there off and on but this year I'm getting back into the game a lot more again so I have a bit of a long history and that was the short extent of it.
