Fluttershy From what I know, there's a tier system like in smash bros, except it goes by Uber (super good), Over used/OU (central, good, and popular), Borderline/BL (decent, but not common), Underused/UU (has potential, but lacks popularity), Rarelyused/RU (cons outweigh pros), and Neverused/NU (awful choices overall).
EVs and IVs are very important to competitive battling apparently, and the right move set combo is critical of any match.
There's also a Little Cup league for pokemon that aren't fully evolved yet.
That's the extent of what I know.
Alright, that's ok. I was just wondering where you were at.232
I got picked up from college lol
Ivs and Evs effect the stats directlyAlright, that's ok. I was just wondering where you were at.
What are other vital points I need to know about competitive battling?
Thanks for the info. If I become more interested in competitive battling (which I'm actually becoming more interested by the moment), what's a good place(s) to start learning about the competitive game?240 Disagreements

There's also nature's, abilities, Strategy and a little bit of luck lol. Competitive Pokemon can be predictable and at the same time challenging.
The nature's are not all equal. The most used nature's are Usually Adamant, Modest, Jolly, Timid, Calm, Bold, Relaxed, and Impish. None of these should weaken Defense or Special defense in my opinion but they are only used on Pokemon that use physical and special moves in the same move set. Brave and the other nature's that lowers the Pokemon's speed are typically used in Trick room teams.
abilities are what you want to enhance the Pokemon's capabilities some can heavily involve strategy with the Pokemon's move set (like serene grace Togekiss).

On showdown? You type a username search into the search bar to find a friend to battle with. Or, you look into the forums and find people wanting to battle.245
How do you battle people on there?
I'm self taught lol Smogon is a good place to start but don't take everything to heart. There are more strategies that Smogon doesn't acknowledge that work well in an environment that you can easily create such as my Mr. Mime baton passer.Thanks for the info. If I become more interested in competitive battling (which I'm actually becoming more interested by the moment), what's a good place(s) to start learning about the competitive game?
you can also pick a tier or format on the home tab and set a team to use then hit start battle to battle someone who is also looking to battle.. (you might need to pick a format for the team on the team creation tab245
