[DISCUSSION] Newbie Competitive Player - Need Help

[ReddyMason]

Hey Everyone!

I'm looking to try out the competitve scene, after completing my living pokedex and doing almost everything you can in my Alpha Sapphire game, looking to spice things up and try out battling. I'm familiar with breeding for competitive Pokemon and how to make sure you get certain moves and abilites with items. However, I don't really have much knowledge on what Pokemon are good at the moment as a new player.

My point being, what do you guys think would be a good all around competitve team for a new player to start on. A team that would suit a lot of opponent Pokemon whether not be the best, but average so I could learn the ropes. Also, are there any massive points I should know before getting into the competitve scene? Any tips?

Thanks everyone
