I've been playing competitive mons for a while and now I'm trying to really put my foot into current gen OU. I've had moderate success in other tiers and my climb up the ladder has been going well so far though I have never been the type to build a team- that I want to change. I'd also like to get tutoring to know the metagame better, I feel as if my play is solid but my knowledge is sometimes not there.

Experience: I used to play a LOT few years back, usually SS OU and custom games (I played a lot in a Galar-themed server with no EVs/IVs or natures, which, in retrospect, neutered my understanding of the game quite a bit even now). Once I started college, I stopped playing due to a lack of time, but have since started playing some random battles for fun. I used to play teams with some sort of gimmick/theme (weather, terrain, monotype), but I really like rain teams. I've mostly netdecked a lot of the teams I used in Gen 8 OU, and I want to change that by learning how to build teams. In terms of actual battling, I'm pretty mid and I never really broke past 1500 even when I used to play a lot, and I didn't really know the metagame too well either - I can only imagine how much more complicated it has gotten in Gen 9.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing OU on and off since Sword and Shield to mixed results. I've played quite a lot - I have over 800 games of OU logged between my accounts - but never at even a decent level, until I recently pushed to 1600 elo, where I now flounder. I've also dabbled in CAP, pet mods, and a bit of VGC. Bulky balance is my lifeblood, especially with Boots spam and/or Wish.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I don't have much personal competitive experience, I've mainly spent many years (8+ years) using this forum just to read up on peoples advice and watch youtube videos (JimothyCool, Pinka, PokeAim) to see others battle as I enjoy watching Pokemon content. I've recently took the dive and started playing on Pokemon Showdown (started 24th June) and played over 160+ games up to today. I would consider myself understanding of basic concepts and a quick learner. I'm currently sitting at around 1500 elo and would want to improve aspects of my gameplay (deciding lead matchups, creating teams (I use sample teams), evaluating team strengths and weaknesses and identifying win conditions and how to play towards the win condition). I would say my goal is to get 1700+.

Are you able to use Discord?: Yes and can use mic

Additional FYI I don't have the highest quality tech gear so apologies if I sound weird or my PC lags etc.
