Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I created a PS! account in 2019, and played for about a year, playing a variety of formats and tiers, though I did play quite a bit of gen 8 RU in its early stages and rose to about 1300 on the ladder. I then went on a hiatus until late 2023 and played mainly random battles though I've started to get back into some tiers, mainly Doubles OU. I wanted to try OU because it's the most popular metagame and I want to improve my skills, but my teambuilding skills are poor and I'm terrible at making reads more often than not.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I play some Pokemon Mmos which have competitive stuff like clan wars, as well as multiple tournies that we host, which usually have some good smogon players since people know each other and get invited. Ive also played some tournaments in smogon. Although nothing serious. Ive started playing more tournies this last week or so. I signed up in SV OU since its the more played tier (I think) but i just want to learn pokemon overall. Specially improving at team building and making midground plays instead of hard predicts which usually might cost me the game

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I am always looking to improve and want help understanding USUM/ORAS better. I understand SV pretty well and SS well enough, but have trouble with determining value for mons in given scenarios and why certain prep decisions are made over others. Have played for a decent amount of time so I understand what things do and why, just falls apart a bit with older generations.
Are you able to use Discord?: yep, pandoublea on discord :D

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Started using Pokemon Showdown about 4 years ago but the only tier where I play a lot of would-be Random Battles where I think I peaked ~1700 or so. Drafts were always something I loved watching even before then and is my main interest ever since I started playing. Even after 4 years I still have not seen much success besides where I started playing against newer players which I was at the time but now that my competition is at my level, I am starting the struggle especially at important games.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
I´ve been playing competitive pokemon for some time by now, doing reasonably well, especially in UUbers which at this time is the only tier I play besides draft itself, since the variety makes it more interesting.

Although I have done fairly well on a draft tour organized on my campus, my performance on official tours, has been let´s say lacking xd. It´s really weird because I would think draft requires more creative teambuilding, which I thought was one my main strengths in other tiers. However I intend to keep smashing my head against the wall until I improve, some help in identifying my flaws would be greatly appreciated xd.

P.S.: I don´t think I need it anymore, so closing it.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I first started in competitive in Wi-Fi battles during after-school clubs in Gens 4 and 5, though I did not participate in any tournaments. Nowadays, however, most of my experience comes from random battles. I started with Gen 3 and Gen 4 Random, but my main ladder is Gen 5 Random. I do also have a little experience in Random Battles for Gens 6, 8, and 9, and have done several battles in the Gen 9 Baby Random format as well.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing pokemon for about 8 years, of which in the last 5 years I've been playing competitively, both on ladder and in drafts. The first time I really went for a high rank on ladder my peak was 1875 with maushold. Draft wise, I've played in many drafts, most of them being friendly ones. However, I've played in a few smogon drafts and have placed pretty well, I'd say what mainly holds me back as a player is the actual draft process, since I'm extremely indecisive. I hope that's something I'll be able to improve with this program.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Ive been playing and watching competitive pokemon since I was quite young, the format I loved most being draft, However I didnt start playing draft until last year when someone I knew started a league, from there it was off to the races with me. Since then ive had a good bit of success in my leagues until recently where ive noticed my skill has dropped by a good bit, on top of not being out to place outside of groups in draft tours. I have a fairly aggressive playstyle that relies a lot on making reads so I hope I can maybe find someone who can help me play a lot more passive when aggressive reads arent needed.

Are you able to use Discord?: Yes I use it a good bit, my username is edentical

Welcome to Battling 101! If you're seeking a tutor for Draft League, 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 started playing competitively just this year and I really enjoyed team building but with limited knowledge of competitive pokemon and no friends that play, the best I could do is try to have plenty of type coverage and build cores like fire-water-grass, fighting-psychic-dark, and steel-fairy-dragon. The farthest I have been able to get on the ladder in any format is in the 1300's and I've tried to dabble with VGC but I enjoy 6v6 much more and it feels a lot more chill which I like. Got into my first draft league a couple months ago which was the gen 6 ORAS draft in which I went 4-1 which I was pretty happy with especially with it being my first time in a tournament for pokemon. I then got into the natdex draft in which I did not perform well and it felt a bit overwhelming for me. I'm now in the gen 7 USUM draft and I actually never got to play any of the gen 7 games so I am a bit nervous. I could really use the practice and I really would like to learn more as I don't have any to help me because I have no friends that are into pokemon. I really love pokemon and have had tons of fun on showdown and using smogon as this is the first year I've gotten into and have gotten the hang of using smogon and showdown in unison and I would really like to learn and get better to become a better competitive player. Help would be greatly appreciated as I really love pokemon. Thank you!

Currently I'm struggling to keep up with better draft players these days, especially in SV formats. I find that my biggest flaws usually are around the drafting process, and getting in my own head over matchups. I would be grateful for any advice on how to improve as a player and would love to be able to get to the next level in draft.
