PT TRAINING ARC

5 Sessions 5 hours $120

This training plan will go step-by-step through the process of learning and improving with Pokemon Trainer! We can begin with the basics/fundamentals, then hit on important points of gameplay like advantage, disadvantage, ledge trapping, and switching between the mons. Although this plan follows a specific routine, I'm open to addressing certain aspects more depending on what we agree is needed. This plan will bring your PT to the top level in no time!

Sessions Overview

How to Play Neutral

1 hour

In this section, we will explore the wide variety of neutral interactions and situations that can occur with each of the 3 pokemon. I will teach you how to play neutral properly and what the differences are between each pokemon. Good neutral is, in my opinion, the foundation of a fantastic player. The information from this section will also be very important to know for the following sections.

Discussion of Your Thoughts, Basics/Fundamentals

1 hour

In this introductory lesson, we will just discuss your history with PT and see where you are at with the character. We will go over the basic gameplay of PT and what you need to know before proceeding with more focused sessions.

Advantage/Disadvantage

1 hour

In this section, we will tackle both advantage and disadvantage state. PT is a character known for heavy extremes: an amazing advantage but troublesome disadvantage. I will show you how best to abuse PT's advantage state and combos (with each mon specifically AND with switching). In addition, I will show you how to escape many common situations of disadvantage and point out which options work best to deal with combos, juggles, and getting off ledge.

Ledge Trapping + Edgeguarding

1 hour

Two huge parts of playing PT are knowing how to take early stocks with edgeguards and knowing how to rack up damage with ledge traps. In this section, I will teach you how each mon can hold characters at ledge with reactive options. Also, I will demonstrate how to challenge different recoveries and take stocks offstage.

The Art of Switching + Closing Statements

1 hour

This section is shorter than the previous sections but could possibly contain the MOST important information about how to improve with PT. Knowing where/when to switch is something I believe many PT's overlook, and when done properly it can make the character excel in many situations. Alternatively, incorrect switches often lead to unnecessary damage being taken/stocks being lost due to sloppiness. I will direct you on how to switch properly and take advantage of such a unique mechanic. In addition, we will have closing remarks on how to apply all of this information and where to go next!
