Sign-Up Apprentice Program Signups: SV Monotype

[Ticken]

Welcome to Battling 101! If you're seeking a tutor for SV Monotype, 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 have been playing since the days of ORAS, and mostly I have stuck to teambuilding/experimentations of the tier as the feeling of pulling off something or developing a new style is inherently sastisfiying to me. However I feel as of recently I have reached a point where my own execution is sub-par and being immensely inconsistent in my battles. The primary reason why I am seeking a tutor is to help me improve my battling and decision making, as well as to get rid of my overthinking and inconsistency in my battles.
Are you able to use Discord?:
Of course (Arkter 龙#1103)

I played mono for 2 months in ss then played Ou for 3 years (and still stuck in 1500s I know skill issue).
I’ve played Pokémon unite since it came out if that matters in other words I don’t have a big history.
Im not sure if this counts but I’ve played insane amounts of Pokémon chess.

I played Pokemon Showdown several years ago and tried to get into competitive quite a bit, but I quit because I got bored. A few days ago I created a new Pokemon Showdown account and have been using it ever since. I saw that there's a Monotype tournament on Ladder, and even though I've never played Monotype before in my life I decided to sign up and here I am.
