Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started looking through Pokemon at around 2017 and started competitive Pokemon around a year later.

I only started playing PU in around June and really enjoyed it, and decided to main it. SS PU is looking really fun and I'm starting to make a bit of a name for myself. I want to get even better, and my big goal is to get drafted for the next PUPL. Are you able to use either Discord?: Yes Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Yes

I know how to process information and I tab, note, and make use of information provided to me regarding any tutoring in any experience in life. I do not prefer doing sessions on discord even though it's recorded but I do not mind scheduling on there due to reasons. I wanna branch out into more tiers and get noticed more and play inside more premier leagues. Potentially become a tutor like you! I've expanded my skills in Monotype a lot but it's always nice to learn other tiers. I have been playing since late 2017. Are you able to use either Discord?: not for sessions.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I began playing competitively in 2015 when I joined ORAS PU but I couldn't seem to make any progress in terms of getting better. I persisted until 2016, when I found that SM PU was simply too drastic of a change for me. I left Pokemon Showdown for 3 years until June 2019, when I returned with a new account and joined ZU. Almost a year later, after hard work and becoming proficient in the tier, I became a voice in the Zeroused room. Thanks to some inspiration from Ho3nConfirm3d, I decided to branch out and try and some new tiers, including SS NU and now SS PU. I hope to become better at PU and improve as a player along the way!

Started in gen 4, stayed top ou gen 6 with shednija stall till rain got good. I played the crap out of gen 7 pu once liligant was getting banned till it's end. I often built very stally, H.o., fat balance, and Very anti meta. I build more tournament style often over focusing on death by lure or sucker punching + reliable 3 rounds of match-ups.
I wanted to tutor when I saw this and was disappointed I couldn't offer. So I wanna be good enough to do that and to learn to off set my weaknesses as a builder or at least better double down in my horseshit and truly become ruthless at this game
