Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started playing ratings battles in SM and loved it, I just recently found Smogon and want to learn the game and tiers better. I have been using a suggested team in UU and doing ok but I can only climb the ladder so far till I start to fall. I really enjoy the lower teams because I like more obscure(rarely used :D) Pokemon which is why I am applying here.

Began competitive pokemon at the beginning of BW where I mostly played OU. I always tried to be unique with my teams and I never wanted to use a team consisting of entirely meta mons. Placed well on leaderboards (top 3 on PO, top 5 on Showdown multiple times)
Due to nostalgia, returned to gen 4 on the DS where I learned to RNG and grinded battle frontier, pokemon battle revolution on the wii, etc. Good times man.
Not really about competitive experience but i fucking love this game.
Are you able to use either Discord or Skype?: Yes

**Note: My brother and I are both wanting to get back into pokemon to try and top leaderboards. Usually when we dedicate ourselves to something we can get it done, and this is the ultimate goal we're trying to achieve with the help of a tutor. We are a really entertaining duo and we have a lot of experience competitively (6+ years), but just note that it is likely that my brother will be accompanying us during the sessions, if that's alright.
