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. I want to play ou so i can improve my overall skill which i personally find lacking a lot, includes especially team building, playing offensive strategies, playing for my wincons and i am insanely inconsistent with my skill level

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing Competitive Pokemon for 2-3 years, but I took a break until about a month ago. I'm still at 1100-1200 (yikes) after ~100 games, and I'm excited to get better at team building and battling. I usually play bulky offense or hyper offense and I usually win by making smart setups on switches.

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

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.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing competitive for around 2 years, on and off for the past year or so. Played in a couple tournaments and recently more in natdex where I'm currently at a peak of 1681.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started playing competitively in early XY on Showdown itself. I have participated in a few Smogon OU tournaments But most notably I was part of team India for a brief time and played POWC representing them, though no great success. I need some guidance regarding metagame because even after so much time I still can't do things like understand a metagame and teambuild myself and even my plays need to improve.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Recently retired from my sport and mons has filled that competitive void. My SV OU experience is largely limited to the ladder (purely because I haven't found many opportunities in the tier since I started looking), where I peaked 1900+ and tend to hover in and around the 1800s. Also won a recent iteration of the SV OU Team Building Competition which was fun. In other tiers, I've racked up a handful of neat wins against some players I really respect (and would love to work with), including Baddy in Masters, Always! in SS OU, and OranBerryBlissey in SV NU. I haven't plateaued by any means, and am only improving as I get more reps in, but I think having a mentor would be invaluable not just to my gameplay, but also to how I can navigate this competitive space and make a real name for myself. I have yet to "main" a tier, playing every chance I get in all the fairy gens from OU to PU, but I figure there's no better place to hone my skills and prove myself than in current gen OU, which I can only assume is the most competitive tier out there.
