Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started with BW OU not very good been playing for about 4 years now on and off. Played ORAS quite a bit along with the early SM OU played and won OUPL. After this I stopped playing OU and moved down to lower tiers mainly ZU which I have played since. Now as the generation is ending I want to see what the meta has settled out to be.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Started way back in 2015 ORAS, but only played occasionally, been playing pretty often from end of 2017 till now. Played several tiers, NU, OU and UU, mainly played mostly UU but I've been transitioning into OU over the past month or so since the Uu metagame has become rather stale for my liking. Likes playing offense, dislikes stall but might occasionally use it. Uses ass mons for the sake of it sometimes. Peaked at 1600s on UU and so far am at 1400s on OU
Are you able to use either Discord or Skype?: Discord, but I'm okay with Skype too

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I started PS! with the 7th gen. I discovered it one year ago. I have been playing SM OU for one year now and I need to step up. Besides I improved my ingame and my building a little bit, I didn't really go far in solo tournaments like OST (2nd round). I would love to do team tournaments (smogon ones or not) but my level is way too average for me to dare applying somewhere. I rised untill 1400's on the SMOU ladder, but I'm rollercostering between 1200's and 1400's. I'm curently on the way down.
Are you able to use either Discord or Skype?: Both, even if I feel that Discord would be more appropriated.
Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Yes, in a nutshell it's a matter of activity.

Usual Hours of Availability: I'm most likely available all day and I can stay late at night if needed since i'm on vacation right now.
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I joined Smogon in 2015 but I created my first PS! account in mid-2014. I have kinda always played for fun, playing mostly OU with friends and I guess that's how I "improved". Then i dropped the game for my studies which took all my time during 2 years but I came back on Smogon in late 2018. Since then I've been watching STs, Classic & WCop with great attention and it motivated me to play again. The thing is, when I started to play on PS! it was the end of XY era and the beginning of ORAS and I left most likely when SUMO came out. Thus I tried catch it in flight but I'd like to invest in SUMO OU even more.
Are you able to use either Discord or Skype?: I can use both
Do you understand how the blacklist works?: I do

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I began playing in late 2018 (september-october). I was playing for fun on ladder, I tried to perform on ST and other tours but it didn't end very well for me. I would like to be better in gen7OU because I really enjoy playing this tier.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I used to be a huge fan of Gen 4 OU, back when Shoddy Battle was a thing, but then I tried out other tiers every gen. I enjoyed Gen 5 OU and weather wars, as well as XY OU and stopped playing OU after ORAS. Now I specialize mostly in OMs and AG but would like to learn the main tier from someone experienced before this gen ends. I am familiar with team building competitively and have watched many games on Blunders channel and really want to give OU a go.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been playing Monotype for a while ever since I really got into competitive Pokemon. I've been wanting to get into OU for quite a bit but don't really know where to start so it'd be good to have someone to help me. My playing is also a bit rough, so that's an area I want to work on as well.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've been messing around on PS for going on 7 years off-and-on, but I've only started competing in the last couple months. I used to play OU in ORAS in low ladder with random garbage, but since coming back to mons, I've focused on learning Ubers, and in my first month back, I got to top 3 and 1800+ on the Ubers ladder, got to semis in a circuit tour, got to semis in the USM Ubers live tour, and am currently competing in the Ubers Majors circuit tour, in which I have a record of 1-1, with my win being against a multiple-time UPL player. I really want to branch into OU and learn SM OU properly, and while my mons fundamentals are there, I'd appreciate some guidance to become familiar enough with the metagame to where I'll be able to start doing as well in OU tours as I have been in Ubers tours.

Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): Well, I've been on WCOP LA team, been playing competitive from 2017, but not OU, just started in OU this year in DPP OU, and tried to play USM OU, I play it good and reached 2000 easily in OLT, but I struggle with team building a lot, and I think this opportunity can help me to see my flaws and mistakes since I dont know how to build in USM OU x_x
