Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Have been playing on anf off for a few years now, mainly playing ladder oms and ag but have also played some rand bats and ou during olt. I managed tzo get pretty good results on these ladders, but i have not managed to get too good results in smogon tours.

Usual Hours of Availability: Most evenings after 5pm
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing for 1 year now and have competed in tours such as Smogon Tour (10 points) and Smogon Classics Series (12 points). I feel like I'm pretty inconsistent when it comes to battling in that I play very well in some and terribly in others. My main goal is to get good enough to consistently perform well in tournaments. Since OST is soon approaching, I think this could be helpful.
I am very active on Showdown and am willing to put the time, effort, and enthusiasm with my potential tutor

Usual Hours of Availability: Weekdays: 16 PM - 22 PM. Weekends: 10 AM - 1 AM. Hours can change depending on when i have classes, etc.
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing everything from OU to AAA since the S&M days, employing "creative" team-building choices. Recently I began my journey to try and actually understand proper play and team-building, Peaking at 1400~ELO on SV OU, I like niech strategies and a more balanced approach but sometimes struggle to find ideas against opponents, which makes my play very reactive and non-threatening.
