Your timezone: GMT -4 (Eastern Standard Time)
Usual Hours of Availability: 3P.M.-5P.M. on weekdays. I am usually available on weekends depending on what I’m busy with (I do some community theatre. Acting always comes first.)
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): So hi! I first started playing competitive back before drought was was banned in UU. From there, I played a bunch of different meta games OU, NU, PU, and LC (rip RU). I’m now dedicated to just playing OU and UU. I am mostly being a positive person in the Lobby chat but I’ll sometimes speak in OU and UU. My main issues at battling is 1. I’m pretty bad at teambuilding. I usually slap a bunch of things together and then I see what gives this team problems in battle and make adjustments. This is an unhealthy playstyle since I have to go through the trouble of battling real players. 2. I overpredict way too much. I make many assumptions that can end up costing the game because I think my opponent will drag something in to stop me and then I predict wrong and lose a mon. I’m hoping that a tutor can assist me in learning UU and especially OU.
Are you able to use either Discord or Skype?: I’ll download Discord right away.

Your timezone: Mountain (GMT -6)
Usual Hours of Availability: afternoons are good for me! any day but monday and friday
Tell us a little about your experience in competitive Pokemon (min. 3 sentences): I've played bits and pieces since ORAS, never got very far though. I've played fairly casually in a couple different tiers in SM/USUM and I figure it'll be better for me to stick with one tier, learn the metagame, etc. and UU seems like fun to me as a few of my favorite mons are here. I think teambuilding is probably one of the things I'd most like to learn more about.

PERSONALLY REQUESTING ACCELGOR
about me: been playing for a little while, always thought the idea of getting a tutor was played until i came back from hiatus recently. im willing to do what it takes to learn from tour replays, ladder matches, scrims, people i respect on ps about builds and compositions in general (PSA: that's not an invitation to be weird and PM me thinking u know your shit, because chances are, you don't).

Doing this strictly for building, if any of the other tutors want to hmu and discuss composing builds or any of that stuff I'm down, but builds only.

big s/o to Accelgor for giving me the time of day, you won't regret it.
