Timezone: CST
Do you have experience with holding a staff position (online or in real life)?: Unless being a gym leader is considered staff then no

Do you play Pokémon/Pixelmon competitively?: Yes, I occasionally practice on Pokémon showdown and I have competed in tournaments held on the Hallowed Fantasy Server
How long can you play per day or week?: Per day until school starts would maybe be around 2/4 hours. Once school starts it would depend on whether or not I have work to get done

Hiya SansTheSkelly. Thank you for taking interest in the gym team!

The gym team has reviewed your application for the Seiiki gym.

We feel like Hydro Pump is a very Offensive option for Pelliper and could be replaced with moves such as Scald or Defog. The same applies for Hurricane, but with the boost in accuracy it receives from the Rain due to it's Drizzle ability, it's not too much of an issue.

Aegislash could use other moves such as Flash Cannon or Substitute instead of Gyro Ball because one of the main threats to the gym being Kyurem is able to stall out Gyro Ball PP with one of it's most common sets.

There are more helpful walls for the gym such as Toxapex which is probably a better choice as Tapu Fini's Misty Surge conflicts too much with Aegislash's Toxic which can potentially snowball and lead to you having trouble positioning.

We feel that Protean Greninja is not as good as other Special Attackers such as Ash-Greninja or Hisuian Zoroark to fend off Ghost types more effectively or Manaphy to act as a strong Wallbreaker under Rain.
We also feel like Drain Punch is worth considering over Shadow Claw for Mimikyu as your team currently struggles with Dark types like Bisharp as it can easily gain a free turn to set up a Swords Dance or safely use Pursuit on a Ghost type.

Thank you for your interest and have a lovely day,
HF Staff and Gym team.

Hey SansTheSkelly. Thank you for taking interest in the gym team!

We have decided to DENY your application for the position of the Seiiki Gym Leader, as we feel you have a lack of competitive knowledge for the time being.

If you have any questions about competitive, feel free to ask in #competitive-pixelmon in the Discord server as well as practicing on pokemon showdown.

Feel free to reapply on the 27th of August (Two weeks from now).

Thank you again for your interest and have a lovely day,
HF Staff and Gym team
 
Yeah, unfortunately I could already tell what the decision was after the final battle. I'd been away to long and I need to regain my battling knowledge. Thank you for reviewing my application
