Username: Cousiin Your timezone: GMT+2 Generation: ADV Usual Hours of Availability: as long as I don't find an internship whenever, when i'll find one on evenings and weekends Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started in 2017 even tho I knew a bit about strat/PS/smogon before, mainly played in french communities and mainly in ORAS OU where I'm like average/decent I'd say. On Smogon tho I've never been successful, my best run has been 22 points last Smogon Tour season and pretty much nothing besides that. Discovered ADV during French Classic, surprisingly went far in that cup and liked the gen, but afterwards got very little occasions to play that gen again (It's not very used in french tours) and those little occasions went quite bad so I'd like to get better at this gen, also teambuilding in general is a struggle for me that I'd like to get rid of.

Since 2017, thanks to Marcoasd's teachings, I have dedicated myself to RBY OU, which is now my main tier and in which I have achieved excellent results by winning numerous team and individual tournaments. Over the years I have mainly played on Pokémon Perfect, but in the last year or so I have approached Smogon, a website that introduced me to the Monotype community. I discovered that the latter is made up of very nice guys and with whom I made friends. I would like to learn this tier to be able to play and have fun with them.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): After playing the gameboy games ever since I was a kid, about 5 years ago I finally hopped on showdown after watching some showdown videos on youtube. I was really nervous but soon learned the ropes, and after I discovered monotype was a thing, I never wanted to do anything else (bar hackmons cup lol). In later ORAS I learned I could win room tours, make it to high ladder, discovered leagues etc. Peaked around early Sun and Moon but quit for a while in 2017. Came back for a few patches of USUM, and early SS before maxing was banned. Now that DLC has come and we have better content, with more on the way, I'd really like to pick up the slack and see how much better I can get.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been battling since Gen 6. I started in XY. Got more dedicated by ORAS. I used to only play Monotype but I've since branched off to OU. In Gen 7 I was relatively decent but I liked to bring heat in tours and learned that counter teaming is fun. Gen 8 I've been focusing on OU and with Zarude getting released I'm really interested in monotype again.
