OU Simple Questions, Simple Answers (Read the OP First!)

My question is simple, I guess. It needs a little explanation, but the answer may be simple.

Between 1999 and 2003, I've played Pokémon competitively in singles. I was never great, but neither was I mediocre. I was above average in terms of results. In the beginning of third gen, I moved to a distant town and found noone to play with. Got back to business for a short while in 2004~2005, but I was already really off track and pissed off because of sharkmon.

Missed Gen IV competitively because I got late into buying a DS, and, although I got BW six months after its release, I had internet only 4 months bf BW2. By then, I decided to get back to competitive, and, through means of another forum, I got sort of deep into VGC format.

Thing is, tourneys here in Brazil are more singles 3v3 or 6v6, and Smogon main metagame is also singles. And I want to play singles, but my mindset keeps turning to doubles. Is there any way in which I can refocus my mind to singles metagame? Thanks a lot, I believe it's a simple question (despite of tl;dr) and didn't want to create a topic for it.

TL;DR: how can I change my mindset back from doubles to singles?
 
Play more is really the only answer, I would suggest playing on the OU ladder more often. But its not like you can't play doubles, in fact it is an official metagame as of next Generation if you want to play that.

I don't really like it. I just changed because it's Nintendo's official format. But thanks for answering.
 
It's actually a pretty good move set stall on the toxic
Swagger makes them hit themselves
Knock off makes them vulnerable in sand storm n hail
Trust if u play this set u will love the way their hp goes down after u knock off their item.
If they switch u can predict it u can knock off the next pokemons item
I think I might have a video of me abuse this set
 
And then you have maybe a 50% chance it'll hit itself. And if it doesnt, it has +1(2?) to kill an already subpar Pokémon with
 
No. It doesn't work that way, the set is horrible, at least learn a little more about competitive before you suggest something like a set.

Can we not do this please? Debating about how good Shuckle is in a SQSA thread is just silly. Chadtherest00, if you feel this strongly that your Shuckle sets deserves to be on site, you need to take it up with NU C&C. Here's a link to their forum.

By the way, beating someone on the ladder doesn't mean anything. And I mean ANYTHING.

Considering this was asked in the OU subforum, I assume he'd have to take it up with OU C&C
