Yeah, but not for stuff of what IVs are or whatever
I don't think that this is about that, more or less just what to expect when you're in a battle like "Oh he sent out Zapdos on your (insert rock type), that probably means he has HP Grass." I just need help with my predicting and I need to become more comfortable in a specific tier, I guess I'm trying to find my niche. And so far it's looking like UU.

Basically this yeah

I just need to know how to predict on purpose and not 6 stock an entire enemy team by accident because you did not predict on purpose (which actually happened to me :chuckle:)

I'm going to go ahead and open apprentice applications right now. You may still apply to be a tutor, but I think we have plenty tbh. So apply if you want to learn.

Well, I can help Kofu with OU, since I'll assume his request counts too.

I'll take any specific requests for me, since I'm not really sure how good my qualifications are for picking someone out. OU only, unfortunately. : \

Is there going to be a tournament of some sort, or are we just tutoring?

Actually, can you not assign anyone to me for a while? My computer needs a new monitor... I'll post again when I'm able, but for now, I'll either be here from my PS3 or my phone.
