New to Battles - Calyx - Jun 27, 2016
Ok, so I just finished building my first semi-competitive team and I could use some help testing it out. Any takers? any feedback and advice would be appreciated!

If it's OU, I'll help

*Ahem* New to battles. May need a little help with the jargon. xD
RE: New to Battles - Johnnyspyguy - Jun 27, 2016
Go on Smogon.com. Then search up OU on the website :D

@Calyx Do you want to battle? In singles or doubles?
RE: New to Battles - Calyx - Jun 27, 2016
preferably singles. I haven't put any sort of thought into a doubles strategy yet.

Do you play by Smogon rules?
RE: New to Battles - Calyx - Jun 27, 2016
Frankly I'm not sure what Smogon rules are.

Alright I'll do a quick explanation. Smogon is an unofficial competitive Pokemon community that sets certain rules, including banning certain Pokemon. It works in tiers, with different Pokemon in each tier. You can use Pokemon in lower tiers than the one you're playing, but you can't use those in higher tiers. So if I play in Ubers (mostly legendaries) I can use every Pokemon except mega Rayquaza, but if you play NeverUsed (or NU) you can only use a few Pokemon. They are based on usage stats. Here is a list of the Pokemon in each tier (from highest to lowest) :
Ubers: http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/uber/
OU : http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/ou/
UU: http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/uu/
RU: http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/ru/
NU: http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/nu/
PU: http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/pu/
Tell me in which tier you want to battle or just give me your rules (ex: no legendaries)
