ASB Gym Leader Application Form
Hello there potential Gym Leader,
Having found the prior qualifier format for Gyms somewhat too taxing and time consuming we as a Gym Committee have now made a simple questionnaire designed to test your preparedness and mindset as a potential Gym Leader. Please take your time with the below questions and try to be concise yet complete with your responses.
1. Please detail the three main weaknesses of your gym type. This might either be a specific typing or other subset of Pokemon that will threaten your gym. Examples could include: Pokemon with Knock Off, Flying type spam, entry hazards or anything else.
2. Identify three individual Pokemon that you feel will be of the biggest threat to your gym. Detail why these Pokemon are the strongest threats.
3. Please provide details of your intended arena and match format for the Gym you wish to run. Include any restricted moves, arena effects, number of megas and anything else important. Flavour is not necessary at this stage. Note that any full arena will still need the approval of the committee but details provided here should be kept within the realm of possibility. Justify your arena choices by detailing how they help combat the issues you identified in the first two questions.
4. Please provide the team of Pokemon you would send to your first gym battle, against an unknown but well trained opponent if you were to use the arena provided above. The team should consist of Pokemon with all the tools necessary to defend the gym as well as enough for the desired match type (ie match size +3). These Pokemon need not be maxed but should not be missing key moves or noticeably undertrained. As with your arena please detail why these Pokemon are important in dealing with the issues for your gym. If necessary please provide details of any further Pokemon you would look to add to your team in the future. Please provide profiles in response to this question, not just a list of Pokemon.
5. Please provide any further comments on your strategy for defending the gym, as well as any general comments about yourself (ie highlighting reliability, explaining periods of inactivity, detailing any upcoming lengthy LOAs if known) or just anything else you think we should know when considering you for this position.
6. Please provide links to a collection of what you believe to be your best played recent matches. These should have taken place within approximately the last 9 months. These matches may not necessarily need to be those you won (as we do not expect Gym Leaders to win every challenge) but should highlight strong play or resiliency on your part. Be succinct in the matches you choose and keep them relevant, providing commentary on why you included them. Aim for around 3 matches, but more or less may be acceptable with good reason.
We thank you for your time in applying for this position and will get back to you as soon as possible with feedback and the results of this process.
Regards,
The ASB Gym Committee
