Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6

Season 12 starts on 9/03/2022

Before we start, to battle other players online you MUST HAVE a Nintendo Online account. This is how Nintendo is set up to battle other trainers not near you and is not something I have decided on.

Calling all Pokemon Sword and Shield trainers. Are you looking to practice your skills, discuss strategies and make friends in the process?

In this social group, we play Pokemon Sword and Shield together in a friendly tournament style competition. There are established rules laid out to mitigate some of the advantages some long time players might have. Please see below for the specific rules. 

What you can expect:
Positive and Friendly attitudes from all participants. No need to be an expert, I myself am a novice trainer.
Good Sportsmanship. Students will encourage other students with advice, experience and positivity during and after duels.
Friendship: Often times players trade Pokemon for free, including "shinies". However, this is not required or expected.

What will not be a part of this class:
No negative attitudes, demands or poor sportsmanship.
Breaking the class rules or the tournament rules (Discussion about them is acceptable and encouraged. Maybe a change is in order).


Tournament Rules:

Battle On Sword and Shield
Duel Rules:
Double Battle
Normal Rules (6 Pokemon Teams, level 50)


Team Rules:
Only Two Legendries Per Team
Mythical Pokemon count as Legendries

Learning Goals

The Learning Goals of this class revolves around teamwork, sportsmanship, socialization, discussion and discovery. We will inevitably make friends through sharing our passion of Pokemon and Dueling through Sword and Shield. We will also learn more about Pokemon and dueling through discussion and practicing together.

Other Details

Supply List

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello! My name is Mr. Austin. I've been teaching for 6 years now and couldn't be more excited to continue this experience and expand into Outschool. I firmly believe that when we have a fun and enjoyable experience in the classroom, we can learn anything. From this, I make each class as fun as possible. I present abstract and advanced concepts into more relatable material for students to comprehend. My classroom will promote the pursuit of knowledge with engaging conversations and discussions. Some of my favorite topics to teach are mathematics, sports, science, social studies and more. So if you are ready to advance your knowledge, join me and let's go on an adventure!
