New to VGC? Team Help and Resources

I tried asking for help on Reddit but just got bombarded with insults so here I am lol.

I’m very new to VGC and started putting a team together on showdown. I only have 4 pokemon rn and need to fill in two more. I was also told that apparently Spec Groudon sucks. I’m having trouble finding good resources to help me learn. I’ll take any advice I can get

Thanks!
