A little about myself: I played pokemon all through the first two generations and did quite well amidst my play circle. My interest waned and I moved on with my entrance into HS as did nearly all my friends. About 2 months ago I came upon a HGSS preview and my nostalgia kicked in. In preparation for it I researched what had happened to pokemon during my 7 year hiatus and came upon Smogon. Got shoddy, played around, and started to lurk. Now I'm ready to become more skilled and actually enter the community which the apprentice program would be perfect for.

[EspyJoel]

Shoddy Battle nick: joel22
Age: 17
Time zone: GMT
Regular Online Hours (Eastern only!): 8am-6pm
Experience level: Pretty good at OU especially when it comes to rd teams but in UU not very good as whenever I try to make a non-rd team for UU it just doesn't work well at all which is why thats the only tier I'm asking for help in.
Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): UU
A little about myself: Been playing pokemon competitively for about 6 months or so, what usually lets me down is that I get bored easily so getting onto the leaderboard is often hard because of that. Outside of pokemon I play a lot of table tennis and have got very good at it. I also have a big interest in history and politics and am very good at writing essays although my lack of grammar, etc on here may make it seem not the case, its because i'm lazy. :)

Tiers I need help in (in order of preference): UU, OU

A little about myself:

Hiya! Whilst I've not been playing competitive pokemon battling for long I really enjoy all the tactics and all the variations you can play. Most of all though I think I'm finding it hard to get settled and could really use some help learning a tier inside out (preferably UU). The main problem I seem to have is building teams with big weaknesses or not knowing what I need to try and counter.

Outside of pokemon, I'm training to be a tennis coach, I like RPGs, Doctor Who and chocolate. Thanks for considering me.
