B101 Inactive Tutee Posts & Updates

Username: shreyashhy
PS! Username: shreyashhy
Signup Format: SV LC
Your timezone: GMT +5:30
Usual Hours of Availability: I'd prefer to play at night for me, around 10 PM especially since that would be a convenient time for most TZs but I can adjust.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started competing in Smogon tours almost exactly a year ago and LC was my format of choice. I was a complete newbie back then and even with 200+ games on ladder and a few tournaments, I never really tried to properly learn the metagame. I still have little clue on how the dynamics between all the regen mons work, when it's okay to lose evio on them, or how I'm supposed to play endgames in this format.

Soon after, I moved onto different tiers and kinda stopped playing SV LC. A year later, I've improved significantly and I want to learn this tier in preparation for next year's circuit :)

Are you able to use Discord?: Yes. shreyashhy on Discord, should be able to VC most of the time.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing for 2 or 3 years now but in and out of it so never really got fully into but since I've been doing draft leagues, I have been sticking with it.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Started pokemon showdown in 2019, then eventually made my way onto smogon as a site contributor in 2021-2024, then began taking tours stuff seriously in the onset of last yr. As for ubers related experience I have been subtly enjoying playing on g7/g8’s ladder as far as I can remember, I was recently very fortunate to have been drafted into playing uber formats for tours such as UMPL and BDSPPL, where things look to be getting off to a promising start. With how much I’ve been enjoying the tier conceptually as a whole, I’m very interested in attending tutorting as a way to begin fully pursuing my goal of being a fulltime ubers player.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokémon (min. 3 sentences): I'm probably one of the most experienced 1v1 players, as I've been playing it for over a decade now. I've won multiple 1v1 tournaments on Smogon. I've been to irl tours outside of 1v1 and done well in those. Honestly, I am just curious what this program is about, and I want to see what the tutor knows. :)

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 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): well I first started playing competitively around this year and chose ru because it had a lot of my favorite to use mons from my times playing nuzelockes and hadn't looked back but I kinda am having a hard time keeping up with ladder trends and team building and have been mostly using sample teams and I figured it was about time I learned enough about team building and certain other parts of the meta if i was ever going to get anywhere other than low ladder

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Won ADV Ubers Cup; Won Ubers Classic; Won both NDUB Open and Summer Seasonal; Won ORASPL, Ubers tier MVP; runner-up in both ORAS Ubers Open and Cup. I've accomplished a lot in several different Ubers tiers in the past year, but haven't touched the current gen. It seems that there's about one year left for SV to be the current gen, and according to the recent player survey, there won't be any huge meta change in the remaining time, so I want to learn this tier with emoxu9

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 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.

Welcome to Battling 101! If you're seeking a tutor for SV Doubles 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've played a bit of Monotype, even finding a bit of success with a fairy type team.
