Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I know simple things about battling because I played some of the main games. In the last months I started to watch videos by competitive pokemon gamers learning something about strategy. I've been playing random battles on PS! for 4or5 months. I started to play in OU some weeks ago using sample teams I found on the forum.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):First, sorry for my english, I'm brazilian, I'm playing competitive for serious since the begin of SM, and I always try to get good results on my matches/tournaments. Before I started playing, I watched a lot of battles and info videos about competitive, so when I started to play, I knew the minimum of what I was doing. And now I want to be better in this, I have good results in OU, but I have the feeling that I can be better, so this is the reason I want a tutor.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Very little experience in competitive. I've joined one draft league and won a few of my matches and a few random tournaments on the ladder. I'm hoping I can get someone to coach me on properly building teams in whatever meta and how to pilot them.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've dipped competitively into XY/ORAS and SM during my time being active on Showdown, however mostly in a comparatively casual way. Since recently I've been motivated to play and improve myself in a more serious manner. I'm looking to deepen my understandings of the metagame and if possible teambuilding too, which I suck at.

Tell us a little bit about your competitive Pokemon experience (min 3 sentences): well, I'm youtuber and I really like pokemon. I play the competition on the site "pokeevo" and believe it is growing in the community. I'm signing up to learn more about how to play the metagame of OU, I want to become a better player to represent my country, Brazil. I like to learn more and make new friends. I hope someone accepts me. I have some experience of participating in several tournaments, but I want to win more.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I like pokemon since my childhood. I started playing the competitive one since 2016. Before that I learned with youtubers (Aim, Jamvad, Blunder and other Brazilian tops). Since then I started competing in the Brazilian forum called Evo. I have conquered a satisfactory space and competed the height of the tournaments here, with important victories. But I have a disability to set up teams. Actually I have a method to assemble only that is not very practical and I'm very tired of this work. I would like to evolve at this point to improve my competitive level.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): play Competitive Pokémon game since the end of XY, beginning of ORAS, but I always played the games of the franchise. I never ventured too much here in Smogon, I usually play more in Brazilian forums, such as Pokèvevo and PokéFrontier. At the moment, I am trying to expand my gameplay, so I decided to try to participate more in this forum.

I started playing 7 months ago and played SM OU ladder until 3 months ago where I quit cause it got boring. I peaked rank 50 ish when I quit but I think I've gotten better since then. A tutor would really help because I'm not sure how to improve from here nor how good I am at SM OU.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Started to play at the beginning of the year. Tried a lot of tiers at the beginning which wasnt benifical for learning the game. After a month or two I stuck with SM OU and played more than 150 games on ladder. I think I'm at a point where I would greatly benefit from a tutor. I hope to deepen my unterstanding of the metagame, getting help ceasing my mistakes I tend to do especially in the mid- and lategame and improve my teambuilding.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've used Showdown off and on since 2015, starting in B2W2. Peak activity would either be currently or in mid-late ORAS. I watch a lot of YTers like Joey and Blunder so I understand the game indepth, but I'm still hard stuck around 1400-1500 ELO and would like to get past that.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Been playing for 3-4 years now and have been very slowly getting better over that time until the last year or so where I've kind of just stopped. I'm thinking I've probably hit my skill ceiling which seems to be low down but wanting to try one last effort to see if I can take things higher. My favourite part of mons is teambuilding, and despite spending most of my time doing that I'm still not great. While I understand making the safe plays and have been working on that myself, I struggle with making reads and the prediction game in general. Tried oussnl this year, prepped lots and still got trashed first round and gave up pretty quick.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I have inconsistently played on showdown since April of 2012. I had been aware of the existence of competitive pokemon since DP came out but didn't know that there was a community as big as Smogon built around it. My favorite metagame has always been OU, however in my years playing it I have never been able to climb past the low 1500s. Aside from one BO/Semi-stall team I built in early BW2, my teambuilding skills are something I've never been very proficient at, and could definitely use improvement on. (I have a few replays from BW2 if you'd like to see.)

Usual Hours of Availability: its hard for me to give set times because of my work schedules but I am very active. I'd say my best times are normally gonna be late at night like 12 am or later (tho i might not be able to use my mic that late), early on weekdays, or sunday in general.
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I played quite a bit in XY but even then my teambuilding wasn't very good. With significant support I had a decent w/l in official tours but teambuilding has always held me back. I went on a hiatus around 2016 until a few months ago. Right now I ladder p casually but I'd like to eventually get good enough to hold my own in tours again except without the handholding. I think the focus for me in SM would be developing better gameplans and getting better at teambuilding and innovating in a smart way.
