Sup everyone. I wanna start doing competitive battling but I don't really have anyone to help me. So helppppp! Lol

First thing to do would be to choose which battle format (Smogon meta, VGC, Battle Spot) you wanna concentrate on. Then basically you're gonna wanna read up on some competitive battling basics, which you should be able to find on Smogon, Nugget Bridge, etc. After that it's just a matter of making a team, getting it critiqued, then going into battle with someone and having them critique your performance. And then getting lots of exp.

In addition to this section, people on our battle server may be able to help as well.

We have resources here that should help. Sample teams are a good way to get a feel for the metagame too (here are some for OU).
