Sign-Up Apprentice Program Signups: SV PU

[Oathkeeper]

Welcome to Battling 101! If you're seeking a tutor for SV PU, 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!

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started playing competitively in early XY and spammed Baton Pass on the ladder. I was pretty skilled I guess. I then got more involved with Smogon and started to play in various tournaments like UUPL and later on Snake and SPL. I could use a bit more practice in this tier though, so I'm looking to get help

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I discovered competitive pokémon back in 2011 but i've been playing most regulary since gen7(usum), 99% of time just building my teams (although im bad at it) and PU is by far my fav tier. Im dont feel like im a consistent player, im just playing turn by turn instead of having a plan in time, so i feel like the result of the game is always random. Maybe this happens cuz i play in the bus, in my way to places or when im waiting for something, but having control of my marches is what im rly looking for.
Are you able to use Discord?: yup

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Well, i have been playing mons competitively for about 3 years , although never made it a serious hobby. I love teambuilding and i sometimes build teams for people. Currently id like to learn more about PU since Sandslash just got banned and i lost a bunch of my teams bcuz of it and yeah, id love to get better in this tier since i find it fun to use some strong yet underrated mons. Id say my my main tier rn is SV OU , but i used to play a lot of SS PU and SS OU.
