| I been playing competitive Pokemon and I suck. Donkey balls suck. Enlighten me MAL. How do I get better at Pokemon? How do I make good strategies, know how to switch, blablablablbla. I'm tired of being raped. Shoot forward. |

| read Smogon until it is burned into your brain |
 |
| Breed a Rattata. Give it a focus sash or equivalent. Give it the move Endeavor. Go into battle. Use Endeavor. Use Quick Attack. Repeat for a total of 5 times. Bring out your final strongest pokemon. |
| you're pretty much gonna get raped until you know what to expect in whatever tier you're in once you've got a good grasp of that it's like 90% prediction and 10% teambuilding |
| Pick Bulbasaur as your starter. |
| Build a good team that covers a variety of types that covers each other's weaknesses. Movesets should be tailored to the pokemon's strengths and can cover their own weaknesses as well. And breed. Breed for IVs. Breed for egg moves. Breed for natures. |
 |
| I'll take the suggestions into account, though I also hope more. Thanks to those that took the time to answer ^^ |

| OP do you play on showdown? Showdown is a good simulator, let me know if you want to play together sometime. Full Disclosure I suck lmao |
| Use correct spelling. |

| Know the math and pray for rnjesus |

| Do you play on PO or Showdown or on DS wifi? If anyone wants to battle me on Showdown just gimme a holla. |

| GRIND the game train every pokemon tgill lvl 100 |
 [/url] |
| I don't remember much about pokemon I just remember staying in bed at 4am playing waiting in a certain area at a certain time trying to catch a legendary. As for advice just level starter to uber levels and one normal type to uber levels then shrek everything in your way regardless of weakness or elements. I once leveled an aron to 100 it was funny to see the little guy ruin peoples days. does this look like the face of mercy?  |

| If you play by Smogon rules, look at their viability list for each tier and construct a competitive team according to it. Here is PU's viability list for example, the best tier. http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pu-viability-rankings.3528743/ Also, you should know what each and every Pokemon in the game is capable of, and adjust your play style accordingly, or you will get fucked up by lead Explosion Golem w/Custap berry after it sets up free cocks rocks. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Just play Smash competitively, its way easier to get into. |
 |
| Pokemon Showdown is a good start. Otherwise, I'd recommend starting to pay attention to your Pokemon's stats. For instance, if a Pokemon in particular has a high special attack and low defense, don't give it physical attacks to use and don't give it moves like Bide or things that require it to take lots of hits. Go EV and IV training. Major123 said: Not at all.Just play Smash competitively, its way easier to get into. |

| Don't ever do competitive pokemon... |
| キターーーー(・∀・)ーーー！！ |
| Just remember that Smogon tiers are bad and that you should follow PO tiers. That and NU best tier. |

| You need to have perfect evs/ivs just to have a chance in competitive. There is or was a website I used that let you make perfect Pokemon and import them into your game. They didn't always work, but around 80% of the time they did. I didn't have the time or the patience to do breeding and all that so I just did that. After that, it's just about making a good team for any possibility that you face and predicting what the other guy is gonna do. |

Better start making good teams through the help of 'guides' AKA (ORAS/XY teams posted in the Internet). Since almost everyone uses a certain Mega-Evolution Pokemon in his/her team right now (with the obvious/possible exception of Little Cup and PU), better start at OU and play teams that revolved around the usage of one certain Mega-Evolution Pokemon (mainly prioritize those at the top especially the first five, since most of the time I encountered players using them a lot):

Major123 said: Learning more things comes with playing the game more. This isn't something exclusive to one game or the other. You don't just pick up the controller and understand how to pull off certain mechanics properly just as much as you will never be able to gameshark yourself a group of LV100 pokemon and expect to win without knowledge of the game. Saying one is easier than the other really is like comparing one skill against another. It's not exactly fair, and whichever you are stronger at naturally will be what you have an easier time with.Syrup- said: No no, with pokemon you need to actually learn a lot of things before going competitive but with smash you just need to play the game more.It's easier to get into basketball too.

| Just remember this: don't fuckle with Shuckle |
| Learn about the Meta Game, look at online matches what are the top team and depending of what type of battle you do 1vs1,2vs2 or w/e get moves and ability that fits in that type of battle. |
 |
| Learn the basics, move sets and your team cooperative. Train EV IV Nature, a good move set and a good team. or just join the Pokemon Showdown community. |
There are some things in this world you don't have to watch and you don't think you ever have to.  |
