Welcome to Battling 101! If you're seeking a tutor for SV OU, you are in the right place. Please read all the rules carefully and fill out every part of the application.

RULES​

  • You must be able to access Discord, or whatever your tutor wants as the primary form of communication.
  • You must be willing to use Pokemon Showdown! even if you are being tutored in a cartridge format such as Battle Spot or VGC.
  • You, the tutee, should have at least 15 posts before signing up AND your account's age should be a minimum of at least 1 month old before signing up.
    • This is not a strict requirement meaning you may still be paired without satisfying it, so no matter what, DO NOT spam post elsewhere in the forum. That is an infractable offense and we do not encourage such behavior from potential Tutees.
  • You must have battled competitively for a decent amount in at least ONE of the Smogon tiers or Battle Spot / VGC to sign up. Playing 10 or so matches on the PS! ladder is not substantial enough, ~70 or so is more reasonable. This experience does not need to be for the format you sign-up for; this is just to weed out people who have never played competitively that can improve themselves simply by using resources already available to them without needing a tutor to hold their hand.
  • You, the tutee, are responsible for setting up times with your tutor. When you receive the Smogon notification informing you of the pairing, please take the initiative and post on their VM wall first. Continued scheduling and communication is key to a successful pairing!
  • Use the Tutee Talk forum to complain about your tutor (or praise them if they're doing a good job). These are no longer mandatory, but if your tutor is ridiculously inactive or is a complete jackass, COMPLAIN HERE. Nobody can see your tutee talk posts except for you and the Battling 101 Staff; everything is confidential.
  • Signups older than 4 months or 1 month since last login will be considered inactive. These will be moved to the Inactive Posts thread, and can be returned back to this thread by request.
  • Tutors can and will drop you if sessions go badly, and significant violations may result in a ban from B101. Be active, be enthusiastic, be respectful. Make the best of your time together!
Here is the signup template, and an example sign-up post.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I have started competitive pokemon around 2017-2018 after being a long-time casual player. My main format was SM Monotype and peaked at 1474 with over 200 games. I have also played SM OU with over 300 games but I was not very good. I recently decided to start playing SV OU after reading teambuilding and other relevant threads on Smogon. I would like to gain a better insight into this format to get better and I think a mentor is a way to do that. One of the challenges I face is not knowing which pokemon to use on a free turn and playing reactively instead of thinking more about my decisions. My goal is to learn more about team synergy, build better cores and understand how to play into checks and counters.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I’ve been playing Pokemon since I was in kindergarten and my first official competitive debut started in 2022 in Sword/Shield. Since then, I’ve been playing SWSH OU and SV OU and Doubles here and there but I mostly play VGC doubles on my switch. I am still very rusty and I want to learn the basics of team building and understand the meta game. I’m also eager to learn more about other formats as well and get better and open to receiving any feedback regarding my current team or play style. I’m really looking for to this opportunity to learn, grow and improve

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been trying competitive singles on and off since ORAS, and the higher tiers always pulled me in with how active they were. I've never got past 1200 on any ladder, even on older accounts, and I wish to improve. I've been struggling with SV's competitive singles scene more than I have with any previous gen, and I believe that I need to try and get into tutoring if I want to improve.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Been playing Pokemon since RBY, but I took a break for gens 6 and 7. I started playing VGC after Isle of Armor came out and have been having a blast with Scarlet and Violet. My first love is RBY, though, so I'd love to talk to someone like-minded about gen 1. I realize I have a long way to go since singles are so different than doubles, but my goal is to get good enough for RBY OU tournament play.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I am always looking to improve and want help understanding USUM/ORAS better. I understand SV pretty well and SS well enough, but have trouble with determining value for mons in given scenarios and why certain prep decisions are made over others. Have played for a decent amount of time so I understand what things do and why, just falls apart a bit with older generations.
Are you able to use Discord?: yep, pandoublea on discord :D

pairing cancelled
