Been playing (learning) 6v6 since october 2022, feeling a little burnt out and out of tune with the tiers I usually play so I'm looking to branch out into other tiers to reignite my passion for playing. SS OU has always been a tier that's looked interesting to me so I thought I'd try this first.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): It'll soon be a year since I joined the Smogon community and I've learnt a lot, meeting and making friends with several cool people along the way.

During this time I've joined several tours, making decent runs, in particular in DPP (Global Championships last 16), SV LC (Round 5 Fall Seasonals, 3-3 in LPL, and semifinals in Last Chance), currently in semifinal of BW Trios and making round 4-5 in other tournaments.

I've currently been tutored in BW by Cow and he's been an amazing help. I've noticed that until recently I've continuously been overlooked in forum team tournaments and 2025 is the year where I actually want to focus on certain gens and make actual runs so my aim of being picked in DPPPL, BWPL, RCOP, etc. can be a reality. Ideally a tutor for each gen would help me develop further and accomplish that.

Despite work and other commitments in real, I'll always make the time to work on improvement and I strive for perfection, so I hope whoever picks me in the future will find me easy and fun to work with.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon: I played a lot and contributed to Oras when it was a main generation, but I have been on break since then. Beyond that, I have played DPP / ADV in passing on alts when I have time between school on break and such and have kept up with tours. I would love to participate in tours and be more confident with my building/playing. Beyond this, I want to relearn and solidify my fundamentals in a generation I love. I have had a ten-year passion for mons and want to rekindle that, and I want to learn.

I can play each generation at a competent level, and I have played in many offsite and onsite tours like ELPL, CTF, BWPL, and OUFL. While I would consider myself good at the game, I think it would be helpful to have someone to help me improve my general playing abilities. I am most interested in improving my gameplans and endgames.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
I have been entering tournaments since ~ march 2023 so a little bit under 2 years of experience at this point. I mostly play SV, SS and SM having some good performances like winning the OU stour tour, and some solid ssnl runs as well as getting drafted to play in a few team tours. I am looking to improve my ORAS gameplay because I didn't play it pretty much at all last year, and I felt like I was at a huge disadvantage when playing in Masters so I am looking for an experienced player that would be able to help me understand this metagame better.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences):
ADV Mushi Leaguer who's been playing the format seriously since 2022 though I probably first touched the ADV OU ladder sometime around 2020 when I was still in high school. I've played in several tournaments and have experience in a few other formats though I am probably the most experienced in ADV at this point. My ladder peak is around 1650 and that happened a couple months ago, I currently have an alt sitting at around 1600 so I could probably get back there with some effort. The main reason I'm asking for help is because I feel like I have trouble going back and reviewing replays as well as building teams that cover important metagame threats.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Played in BW UCL to some degree of success (6-2 overall), aside from that ladder experience only. Looking to widen the teams I am comfortable playing to vary my scout and gain a better grasp on end game scenarios in longer, drawn out matches. In general, looking to become a better overall player for ssnl and into the future.

I've been playing competitive mons since the start of SS but started seriously getting into tournaments this year. I'm decent at SV OU, going 6-2 in the recent OUFL, but I also enjoy playing the older fairy gens and would like to improve at them. I'd like help with team building and improving my gameplans, which I hope will help me consistently do well in tours.
