This is my first time making a VGC team. I have been looking all over the forums and I tried to follow the RMT as well. Also tried to cover weaknesses the best I could, but I feel like something is missing. On pokemon showdown tailwind, trickroom, and kartanas still give me trouble. Sometimes I can do things against them, but other times I just feel helpless.
