I see. Well this thread has had 87 views now and nobody has even bothered to reply to it, so I guess I won't be finding any help here... Feel free to delete this thread.
Something to be aware of is that we don't have a large battling community, let alone people who have the skill and knowledge (and the time) required to effectively tutor someone. Don't be like "oh no ones gonna help" because there wasn't a reply immediately.
Since you're new to battling it seems, you're first going to have to choose which primary meta you want to focus on, with the 3 main ones being Smogon, VGC, and Battle Spot. They all of have different rules and formats and such, which means some stuff that works in one may not work in the others.
You can learn a fair bit about battling just by simply battling (as you'll start to see the common meta trends and stuff).....and I mean a lot. It's going to take time lemme tell you. However sometimes just battling isn't enough; feedback is often needed to really improve. So go onto PC's battle server and try to get some battles with people, and more importantly, ask for advice/feedback/etc from your opponent after the battle. We have a
replay critique thread you can use as well. You can make a RMT thread (aka a Rate My Team or Team Help thread) to help make your team(s) better. It's not tutoring but it's the next best thing.
I would also recommend asking your friends for help. They might be you're opponents, but I'd think that they'd be willing to help you with this since, y'know, they're your friends.
I also highly disagree with your reasons for not liking Smorgen but that's not what this is about so whatever
