New to VGC? Team Help & Resources

lightzenith-94 OP

I've only played Pokemon casually but I have a full Pokemon Home and my friends have inspired me to get into competitive but i'm having a lot of trouble finding a team to play. I'm pretty unfamiliar with how setups and things go.

If anyone could please recommend me teams & maybe send me some resources on how to play them to send me in the right direction i'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance

To get familiar with a team you could also try pokemon showdown first if you don’t want to spend all your vp all the time

i appreciate it i'll look into this next once i have the VP, been wanting to play Blastoise

Just setup trick room and sweep with water sprout

I think you can use sinischa to heal your Blastoise and have 2nd trick room setter for backup.

i see no sunny day on that staraptor, but if thats the case, maybe because he want to power up camerupt. sunny day boost fire attack
