First of all, look back over it. Do you have conflicting moves? If one of your Pokémon has Rain Dance and the other has Sunny Day, then you should take off one Area Effect.

If one of your Pokémon has Rain Dance and the other has Sunny Day, then you should take off one Area Effect with few exceptions. Do three of your Pokémon all have Fire Attacks? If so, do you need it? Do you have a strategy to take down The top tier threats? Do you have enough Pseudo-Hazers in case you encounter one of those Baton Passing Chains? What is your team's gameplan? Does the opponent, by any chance, have underused Pokémon that no one expects? These are the questions that you must answer before you send a team off into battle. It seems as if there are too many restrictions, but the more questions you can answer, the better your team is. Remember that you cannot possibly defeat every team with just one team, and that one team will always beat yours, so do not overdo these questions. However, the Pokémon that are listed above are some of the most popular Pokémon choices out there, so it's critical that you have a method for at least making them switch out. With this in mind, try a few battles, see what you're weak at, and improvise. You will improvise many times before you make a team that you're comfortable with and win more than you lose. Patience is one of the keys to success. Also know this even years after you start your journey to become your best you will still at times lose, badly. | ||
Just like many games, theory and practice are two different things. You might have a great team, but you might not know how to use it. Maybe your anticipation isn't as good, or that you forgot which Pokémon can counter your opponent's menacing Metagross. You won't get success right away, but you have to keep trying. Practice makes perfect, or near perfect. This page should have given you one half of the process to become a competitive battler. It's up to you to train the other half and your determination will decide everything. Good luck! | Just like many games, theory and practice are two different things.
