Welcome to Round 101 of Battling 101! If you're seeking a tutor, you're in the right place. Read the rules carefully and fill out the signup template below.
  • You must be able to access IRC or Skype, or whatever your tutor wants as the primary form of communication. We have an IRC channel #battling101 for easy communication with most of the tutors.
  • You, the tutee, are responsible for setting up times with your tutor. Don't expect them to come to you. Take the initiative and post on their VM wall first. Additionally, please be patient if your tutor doesn't respond in the first 2-3 days.
  • 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.
  • Don't request tutors unless they have agreed to tutor you. Tutors: if you agree to take on that tutee, you may have to take two tutees depending on our matchup situation.
  • You may request priority if you were skipped in the previous two rounds, or if you had a ridiculously inactive tutor. Make it obvious in your signup thread that you are requesting it, otherwise we'll just glance over it when making pairings.
Fill out this form below, failure to fill out this form adequately means that Battling 101 Mods can ignore your signup post.

What tier do you want to learn?: XY OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a baller that likes to play rugby and go to hackathons, but I'm pretty busy with stuff irl and often end up just sleeping through everything I need to go to.
Are you able to use either IRC or Skype?: Yes
Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Yes
The Blacklist (aka Battling 101 Detention)
You will be banned from signing up for future rounds if:

  • You show poor activity over the course of a round (banned for 2 rounds)
  • You decide during the round that you do not wish to be tutored anymore, or you mistakenly sign up for a tier you thought was something else, and no longer wish to be tutored. This is most common when selecting Smogon Doubles / VGC, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING (banned for 2 rounds)
  • You show a lack of enthusiasm or you're consistently distracted by other things (banned for 1 or 2 rounds)
  • You fail to complete the tutor evaluation form that we will send out during the last week of the round (banned for 2 rounds, infracted for 1 point)
  • You are annoying to deal with. This will vary from tutor to tutor. Some tutors don't like it when you talk back, argue with them, whine about hax, whine about sucking at Pokemon, or any version of the 'woe is me' attitude. Tutors get pissed at different things, so if they complain to us that you are exhibiting poor behavior, expect to be on the blacklist. (banned for 3 rounds)
Repeated offense of any of the situations above means you will have an extra round added to the regular ban. For example, if you show for a second round that you have poor activity, your ban will be 3 rounds. If you have been on the blacklist for three different instances, you will be EXPELLED from Battling 101 (perma-ban from signing up).





This round will end on Oct 17.

This thread will close after 60 amount of posts have been made to prevent a huge backlog of people requesting priority for the next round.

Your timezone and usual hours of availability: Central Time. 7 to 10 Pm, sometimes 6 Pm to 10 Pm, Monday through Thursday. Weekends vary sometimes I will have the entire weekend free, but no matter what I will always be available 8 Pm up to 3 Am Friday and Saturday night. I finish different hours on different days at my job, I will do my best to communicate with my tutor.


What tier do you want to learn?: ORAS OU


Tell us a little about yourself: I work 45 to 50 hours a week, so I am very busy, but I am still able to find a few hours of free time in the afternoon. I have been playing Pokémon since 98 and I own every game in the series. I am very passionate and knowledgeable about Pokémon I am here because I want to step my game up and better myself by learning more. I signed up and was even lucky enough to be chosen during the battling 101 round 100 period. However I had an EXTREMELY inactive tutor and was not fortunate enough to even receive one session. Needless to say I was very disappointed, however he did give me a good Balanced team to practice with on my own at least. I hope I will be able to be chosen again and have a tutor that can actually work with me. There are many great battlers in this community, I am as knowledgeable as most of them, but not as skilled or as experienced, with time and help from others perhaps one day I could be a tutor instead of the tutee and could help the Smogon community be an even better place.


Are you able to use either IRC or Skype?: I prefer Skype.


Do you understand how the blacklist works?: Crystal clear.

What tier do you want to learn?: ORAS UU
Tell us a little about yourself: I have been trying to make a team utilising every Mega in the game in order of National Dex Number, but got stuck at Mega Blastoise (I know, kind of sad) due to lack of knowledge of the ORAS UU tier, which is the tier in which Mega Blastoise is located. Together with a tutor in a different round, I built a team around this Mega which I would like to tweak, as well as make a UU team around Mega Beedrill. Being taught some general things about the UU tier would be nice as well.

Tell us a little about yourself: Over the past year or so I’ve been getting into DPP and RBY and at this point I play exclusively old gens.

What tier do you want to learn?: I'm very open. Ideally I'd like ORAS OU, but I'm happy to take another tier if there is an available tutor. Some other tiers I like: ORAS Ubers, LC, UU; BW OU, DP OU
Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a student at McGill University, 21 years old. I'm currently writing my undergraduate thesis on competitive Pokemon, so I'm here to get an inside view of the community. I've had some experience EV training and playing a bit on PS, but until now I've never had the opportunity to really dive in and learn from the ground up. My favourite Pokemon is Hydreigon but Quagsire is cool too.
