Have you visited the Battle Server? Are you a reg there? What are your thoughts about it?
I am a regular on the server, yes! At first I was extremely shy in joining because I felt intimidated by the competitiveness it had, and I thought you need to have a certain level of competitiveness just to join. But I was dead wrong and Jelli was first to welcome me to the server when I joined for the first time. I was shown that becoming a competitive battler is optional and up to me if I ever wanted to be. I'm really satisfied that there is an option for random battles, or quick 1-1 battles if you want to battle right away. Mori (Sanguine/Moriarteh on the server) was the one that showed me a few OU articles in regards to the Overused tier, so that's where I made my first OU Rain Team in which it has become a success! It took me a while to get up to speed in terms of competitivity, and it's worth it tbh. For those who haven't joined the server, you should. You will meet the most helpful people, and you will learn a lot more about battling than you should.
