Hey, new to competitive pokemon, What are some good resources

Smogon is probably the quickest way to find out what's viable, though it varies on what you're playing. Anything official for example will be different since there aren't tiers, and a lot of the guides there are based around those tiers. But it's a starting point at least. Through that you can get an idea of what works in competitive and come up with your own ideas when you're playing online. Copying smogon sets won't really get you anywhere if you don't understand team composition, so try not to do that.

This, though once you've had a brief read you may as well jump into something like Pokemon Showdown and start testing things out for yourself, then go back and read into things more deeply once you've got a few matches under your belt.

You have to first go to a psychiatrist and find out where on the autism spectrum you are, this is what is used to determine the tier you will play.

Now I kinda want to know what tier of autism I belong to.

Just copy and paste other teams, there's multiple pokemon in smogon you can choose from but save your time and straight up take other builds.

Official competitive is completely different

The others are right, check out Smogon and play around in Showdown. Just don't listen to the community, it's full of shit.

ignore every other post in this thread. just throw together a shit team and hop in ou or uu on pokemon showdown. get your ass beat and learn. its the only way.
