Active Perfect Mentoring

[Dom]

I wish to mentor as well C:

Alright, I need to get someone to test you otherwise I might try to set up a PS team

 

[Ryuki]

I'd like a tryout to see if I'm worthy of being a mentor.

Best time for me are in the afternoons/evenings from 6pm - 11pm Central Chicago time.

@phenix @Ryuki

I know this sounds weird but do you have any sort of "resume" so to say

Like any notable experience being gym leaders, in team wars, tournaments, anything of that sort, jw

I've won 2 badges with 3 total battles....that's about it. I lost to Matt_192 because I'm cocky and tried to use the same team for every gym. I realized how dumb that was pretty quickly.

I'm 2-1 in tournies (King of the Ring)

1-0 in team wars and my opponent forfeited because i was up 6-1 and about to go 6-0(v. Ouroboros)

I beat Unproxied in the King of the Ring tourney, and he seems to have established himself as a good battler here. I'm still fairly new though

That's all I've got so far!

I just added you. And I should totally bring an NU team for my OU mentoring test right?

If you want to beat me with an NU team or come close then that's bonus points for you lol

I think I may like to be a recipient of mentoring.
I'm not a bad battling, I win about 50% of my battles, but clearly I am still going wrong somewhere, I'm not sure whether that it's a team building issue, if I'm choosing the wrong builds for my pokes or I'm just not predicting right (thinking it could be the last one), but I thought I can't hurt to get a bit of advice
As for who I want as a mentor, anyone from Nova would be NICE!!!

I can do it if you'd like but I'm fairly busy, if another mentor would volunteer that'd be cool since that's the point of being on here...

@epicmove45 is doing it with me and he is being extremely helpful. Would recommend anyone else that needs help to ask, the mentors are a lovely bunch

 

[Joshua69]

Often times any battler whether they are new to the competitive scene, moderately experienced, or even a hardened veteran will have a question or two about competitive battling.

If you find yourself asking a question or seeking advice related to Competitive Battling then you have come to the right place!

Here at Perfect Mentors we are currently working on gathering an elite staff of volunteers all of whom will be required to go through a qualification process. If admitted into the mentor pool they will be binding their name to this program volunteering as a mentor to anyone in need of assistance.

What This Thread is For
Question Relating To: Game Mechanics, Team Building Advice, Basic Strategy, Advanced Strategy, Battling Advice.

What This Thread Is Not For
Custom Team Building
Very Situational Questions ex: "He lead with A, I have out B, should I switch into C"
Personal Therapy

Mentor Requirements:
Must have a good understanding of the meta game and its mechanics.
Must be an active user.
Must be patient and understanding.
Must be willing to have a "tryout" battle (just as an indicator of your understanding).
Must be polite.

If you have a particular request for who you want to mentor you, mention it in the post.

If you wish to apply to be a mentor please post here saying "I would like to be a mentor", Once approved PM me a short app on why you think you would make a good mentor. (A few sentences, Not long at all)
If you are in need of assistance please post PM any online mentors and ask them for help, If there are no available mentors feel free to make a post here stating what you need

The main goal of this essay ^ is to ensure any member can easily get adjusted to competitive battling or have their questions answered/teams critiqued

Battling is fun when you do it right and I would like to enable everyone to be able to competitively battle and enjoy this site to its full extent, once you get some advice don't forget to challenge the gyms and enter some tourneys

I would like someone them mentor me. I have not really done the meta game before but would like to try.

Don't double post, if you'd like I can help you pm specifics

 

[Giovanni]

Don't double post, if you'd like I can help you pm specifics

I also offer mentoring on doubles if you are interested in that.

 

[Joshua69]

Thanks I won't cluster. I added my question in a pm. Its called Meta game advice.

 

[Dom]

Alright, right now I am working on a competive team I have is in mind

1. Greninja Protean with Life Orb 252Spa 252Spe 4hp- Ice beam, Extrasensory, Surf, and U-turn
2. Goodra Gooey with Assault Vest 252Def 152Spa 100HP- Dragon Pulse, Ice beam, Flamethrower,T-bolt
3. Aegislash Stance Change with Leftovers 252Atk 252Spe 4Def-King shield,Iron head, Shadow sneak, Sword dance

That all I got right now. What Do you think so far? What would be strong choices to add pokemon, move-wise, any changes in EVs.

"PM Specifics" -Dom

Not looking to clutter this thread with advice, looking to give advice via PMs
