Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I start playing in g9.I play nd and ag a lot,and I have also reached high in their ladder. Not long ago, I started playing OM and I also voted some for OM's sus. I have discovered the joy of OM, where there are often some genius ideas that surprise me. But I think there are a few people on the ladder now, and there is not much to explore.I want to do a lot in mnm and hope to find a tutor who can teach me more.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing CAP for a long while now and done well. mostly in past gens (SM/SS). I've played other tiers like OU more casually and am getting more involved in ND now, but definitely feel like I've plateaued as a player more than ever. I've tried taking steps on my own- laddering more, reviewing replays, etc- but haven't felt like I've gotten any better, so I'd love some assistance in getting better both in the builder and in-game planning/decisionmaking. (Tips about dealing with pressure, be it "high" ladder stuff or tournament games, would be huge as well)
Are you able to use Discord?: Yep, shsp

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): sI have been playing showdown
I’ve been playing pokemon showdown for quite a while. I started playing since gen 6 approximately, which I would say has given me a solid base in mechanics, not really team building (mainly played random battles). I started playing NDOU about 2-3 weeks ago by now, where I have peaked about 1550 elo (I think). Though it’s been fun to see some progress in ladder, I feel that I am lacking quite a lot, the biggest factor being my 0 sense of teambuilding and still feel I am lacking at decision making in certain situations/scenarios.

As mentioned above, I often find myself unsure how to create a proper team that works for me personally and my decision making being shoddy at certain points during late game of battles. To sum it up I want to improve in both aspects as it would be nice to excel in both aspects, and I’m committed to learning and understanding core principles and playing more games with someone who has more experience than me and has more insight within the tier and certain trends of pokemon used.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
I started playing competitively around the end of generation 8. I gravitated towards Natdex because I enjoyed using megas and I didn't enjoy the slower SSOU meta. Throughout gen 9 I improved tremendously, even being able to get reqs a couple times and peaking around 1800 on the ladder. I took a long break after getting busy with school and ever since I returned I have been hardstuck 1500 and have recently been tilting as low as the 1300s. I would like to think that I have a decent understanding of the metagame but it is evident that that is not the case. Furthermore, I can tell when I choke an individual battle but I do not have a good sense of the major mistakes that I consistently make in my gameplay.

Only recently made a PS! account, cant really get above 1100 on the ELO, win alot then lose, not too sure what im doing completely.

Yes, but mostly not voice chat. My thing is bulbasaur.useleechseed

Edit: It has been a decent bit since I posted this, so I would like to add that I have been laddering a decent bit and have peaked at 1400 with dark, and I have been playing a water rain/manaphy team for a little bit that I made, and I have done a tournament or two. I am open to playing most types but I would like to avoid dragon and steel, as they are a little too overpowered for my liking. Thank you!

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.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
Played ORAS OU long ago (see “Joined Date: 2016”) but stopped playing before gen 7 released. Didn’t play pokemon again until SV (started around the integration of Pokemon Home) and have been playing on and off.
I hover around 1525-1650 with a peak of 1706 falling just outside the top 500. My goal is to be able to break into the 1700s consistently.
I basically only play HO and some Offense/Bulky Offense for its simplicity, excitement, and quick matches.
I am not concerned with improving team building (there are plenty of good teams out there created by players far better than me) and am primarily hoping to improve my understanding of making the “most” correct play each turn and why it is the correct play.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started playing ladder on showdown around a year before I made my account in April of 2022. Since then I've reached a peak of ~1400 in ss ou and ~1300 in bw ou, I've also competed in a couple tournaments and played in a few draft leagues and the like on discord. I've always loved both bw and ss as they have the more polished mechanics of the newer gens but without the crazy gimmicks.

Welcome to Battling 101! If you're seeking a tutor for National Dex 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.
