Top 10 on all of the ladders when good people actually laddered. Considered an original teambuilder with lots of metagame knowledge and good battling skills / ability to analyse a battle.

While i have not tutored in this program, i did unofficially help someone, and he reached top 20 in the dw uber ladder. I pretty much know ubers inside out. I have tested pretty much all viable sets and my battle count total is higher than 2000 (hard to tell because of my many alts).

my previous application - Forum username: Blimlax Server names: Blimlax Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi Ubers About me: I'm an experienced uber player whose been playing since the start of generation 5. I have over three thousand total uber battles [dw and wifi combined] on the beta server. I've peaked #1 in DW Ubers and #2 in Wifi Ubers. Besides my ladder experience, am also an experienced tournament player. My records include going 4-1 In team showdown while playing wifi ubers, and going 7-1 in the POCl while playing wifi ubers for the sunderland seakings. I have an excellent knowledge of the uber metagame and I think I can help anyone improve in ubers, wheather they're a beginner or advanced player.

Resigned Forum username: This is the dumbest thing ever and should be removed from all applications (agreed) Server names: viashinomage, seishun, savanderra, landon Tiers I wish to teach: Wifi LC About me: I've been one of the biggest champions of getting Wifi LC included in major tournaments since march. I peaked the ladder at 16, back when the top players each had 3 or 4 aliases each in the top 25. I take credit for the almost single handed ressurection of sand stall before the unbans. I haven't had much time to get onto the server since the unbans, but i know the principles behind countering them and have had succes when i was able to get on. If another person applies for the position to tutor LC, I will step down for now because of my busy schedule References: Redst0rm, Trakyan, Lisalo.

Forum username: Treecko Server names: Treecko, occasionally foster Tiers you wish to teach: wifi ou, possibly wifi ubers About me: Hi. I've been playing ou since it was created. I can and have gotten high ladder peaks, but I haven't done so in a long time because tbh I don't care about the ladder. I did peak at #1 in ubers on smogon a long time ago, and got to the top 10 on po before I got bored. I do well in the tournaments I actually care about, such as the pocl and a couple tours on smogon. I was tutored twice before, so I know I can do a good job tutoring people. Besides this stuff, I'm a 17 y/o kid from CT who for some strange reason likes to play pokemon. References: br, ifm, donkey Timezone: GMT-4 Approved
Forum username: Mysterion Server names: Mysterion, [Masters]Mysterion Tiers you wish to teach: LU About me: I peaked as #1 in Lu and Uber. I do competetive battles for 2 years now and have a good knowledge about the Tier. I already tutored some people private at the server and some became quite succesfull. In real life i also give math lessons to other people. References: Z+V, Zorodark, Sheetanshu, Puregenius Timezone: GMT +1
Forum Username: Arceus Server Names: Arceus / Dragonexpert Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi Ubers About Me: I used to ladder a ton back in HGSS Ubers reaching above 1600 on two accounts. After doing that I used to teach Ubers instead of trying to get to the very top. This Generation I have still played Ubers a lot, though I haven't laddered. I do get challenges and very rarely lose. I am able to be on for several hours a day and already graduated college. References: I don't have any on this forum, however, any of the Video Game Moderators on PokeBeach could vouch for me. If I have to battle someone to prove my spot, I am willing to. Timezone: GMT -6

Forum username: Metta World Peace Server names: Metta World Peace, Worst Player Ever Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi UU for now About me: I can play a variety of tiers, but I'm probably the most comfortable in UU. I play more Pokemon than is good for me. I went 5-0 in LTS in UU before it got cancelled. I've topped the UU ladder before, reached top 5 on other occasions, etc. I also have accomplishments in other tiers but I really don't care to list them. I've worked as an academic tutor in real life and I love helping people, so don't feel shy about asking any questions. I'll be on the server a lot for the rest of the summer.

Forum username: Orcelot Server names: Orcelot - I can share any other ones used with tutees if needed Tiers you wish to teach: Wifi UU. Maybe LU aswell, we'll see. About me: I've topped the ladder in all of UU / LU / NU and I held the #1 and #2 positions on the UU ladder at the same time at one point. I'm one of the UU tier leaders and also do UU QC for the Wiki. In scripted tournaments on the server, I got first place on the leaderboard and the gold medal award the first month I actually bothered to try and I got the other two awards in the following two months, being the second person to earn all three medals. That's pretty much it... I play Pokemon a lot, and I have plenty of free time so I can easily work around the timetable of whoever I tutor References: Gl4ss, xdevo Timezone: GMT +1
Forum Username: NRFMatt Server Names: -NRFM-, -WhiteChidori- Tiers you wish to teach: HGSS OU, Adv OU, Wifi UU About Me: I have been playing this game for over a year now, and I feel that I am ready to teach the tiers I have listed. UU is my best tier out of all of these, but that doesn't mean I'm not good at 4th or 3rd gen. I have peaked at #4 on the Wifi UU ladder a while ago, but I lost a lot of points shortly afterwards due to hax and not playing for a while. As for 4th Gen OU, I don't tend to ladder much in that tier, but I know most of the basics and some advanced skills and I am happy to teach pretty much anything in the tier, same for Adv OU and UU. I am currently #9 on the Adv ladder and rising. Aside from that, I'm a really nice guy who can get along with just about everyone. Willing to take on multiple tutees.

Forum username: Gtfo Server names: Gtfo Tiers you wish to teach: DPP OU About me: DPP OU has always been the tier where I've been most confortable in, I reached high peaks when good players actually laddered, getting to top 10 with almost 1600 points, and doing very well in every server tournament when they actually meant something and good players were always in them. I can teach pretty much everything about it, team building wise, metagame knowledge wise, generally how to play and get good results, and also to be original. I'm usually availabe on afternoon/night/late night References: Luck>Skill, Harlot, probably other people in Indigo Timezone: GMT +1
