Is this bsa or vgc? Not that it matters-go to the relevant meta and post in the right thread for getting help. We aren't supposed to make threads btw, besides ofc rmts. Just gets too cluttered on the site. Now obviously people do make threads or it's be empty, but those are staff and/or with permission. I'm not great and especially now when I gave up mons temporarily/my for food competitively, but you can pm me for help. I should be better than nothing even now if you're starting from scratch.

Edit: to expand on the other part, this is even OI subforum, not for comp.

hi! you can find the threads for each meta smogon offers here. within those threads there should be several resources to help you start. after you've gotten an idea of how to play competitively, you can apply here to be tutored by experienced players in a tier of your choice. hope this helps!
