I'm new to the Pokémon franchise, I've never played before. I saved some Pokémon that I see are meta. I'm using the team on the left; I haven't adapted to Raichu and I don't know how to use Sinistcha. I like playing 2v2. Can someone help me put together a team? I'm open to the possibility of looking for other Pokémon, but I'd like something with what I already have.
