Competitive PokÃ©mon

Just a place to chat about the competitive side of the game. And the weird things we've done.

One fun thing for me was an Azelf with Trick, Detect, Psychic, and Flamethrower. Basically, Trick away a Toxic Orb and go nuts from there. It worked... surprisingly well.

I've attempted to get into competitive battles before. It failed. Miserably. Especially since it was x and y.

I find PokÃ©mon Showdown, an online website, to be the easiest way to learn. It's still not easy, but it teaches you a lot about teambuilding and EV, IVs, etc.

Yeah I've used showdown before. I have a pretty good team on it that I wanna transfer to my Pokemon moon.

Only thing is: 1. I decided to make one of them a shiny. 2. One of the Pokemon is a mega venasaur.

PrimPrim

In that case, you may want to transfer a normal M Venusaur from gen. 6.

I know nothing about the competitive side, including IVs and EVs

I did offensive heatproof bronzong before it was cool. That's about it. It was a hot meme because everyone expected you to have levitate and set up trick room but you'd just tank a fire blast with heatproof and slap them with earthquake/rock slide/gyro ball/hidden power fire
