I'm too anxious to battle other people, so I just study strategy and shitpost about how terrible other people are online instead.
>played pokemon for 15 years
>still don't know most of the type matchups
if there's anything SM did right its making me actually learn some of the matchups by including that in the battle when selecting moves

Pick a mega then build a team to support it.

Anon, truth be told: if you understand the metagame and play a little while daily (or even weekely), you literally can beat anyone at this game.
The name "proplayer" in this game is fake as fuck, you just need to have your mind with the meta, predict oponents and have luck. And there you have it; you are the best "Pokémon Master" in the world, as well as everyone who knows how to play correctly.

Go watch pokeaim's vids. He seems to know his shit and explains why he does certain moves. Either that or go to smogon and ask for help, people here are shit for the most part.

Pick 6 of your favorite mons
Look up their movepools and abilities, maybe look up a few preset set ups and work from there
With the right EV distrobution and movesets, even your favorite 6 shitmons can beat Smogonfags
Karen was right all along.

This. I was shit at pokemon, but after watching pokeaom i became a lot better. I really dont like him as a person, but he knows his shit.

tfw you suck at tracing
Do you mean competitive? If so, don't worry about it. Only a small fractions of players take competitive seriously. Pokemon is largely played as a single player game with some multiplayer options. The average player probably cares more about trading than competing with other players.

Have you won any tournaments, anon?
>>33349809
post elo and/or tournament victories
>>33349908
What are you even saying?
>>33349707
I think the hardest thing for me to understand is stats/movesets and typing that compliments each other on any team. I don't have these little shits memorized like most competitors do.

He's questioning the viability of your advice
>>33349945
If you can literally beat anyone you should be making free money winning VGC tournaments or slapping in smogonfags shit in OLT.

Ok, use a doubles team with a psychic, fire, or ground type sweeper, then build the rest of your team to support that sweeper.

If you're talking about Smogon rules, only stall can win there. If you're not using stall you're wasting your time.
