I’m very flexible/chill/understanding.
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.
Are you able to use Discord?: Yes

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I do not have a lot of messages on the forum as I am mostly a lurker and enjoy reading. I only started competitively playing in Gen 9 OU and I am currently hovering around 1200-1400. I have enjoyed it a lot and am looking to get better. I am comfortable playing HO but would like to get some guidance on balanced or otherwise more defensive teams and overall battling. I am also interested in team building and want to mostly use my own teams.
Are you able to use Discord?:Yes.

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.
Are you able to use Discord?: Yes, my name is ilop.

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.
