Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
One suggestion I have for anyone interested in the Japanese BattleSpot singles scene is to check out Niconico. Japanese players stream their Battle Spot battles, which is something hard to find here in the US.
Twitch is very much based on 6vs6 singles which is kinda meh if youre into...
This website has been really helpful. It's like the japanese smogon. With a little Google translate+Bulbagarden help, you can get thru some really interesting sets:

I went from a rating in 1700s to now sitting at the low 1300s....wow.
It feels as though any team I make is never prepared for anything, lol. This meta evolves too quick for me. Actually, since Pokebank I've been getting obliterated.
Anyone have tips on composing a team? I'm so used to the...
This threw me off guard:
Azumarrill @ Leftovers
Trait: Sap Sipper
EVS: 252 HP / ?
- Scald
- Perish Song
- Protect

Yes....Sap Sipper.
This was part of a perish trapping team I faced on Free Battle. Teammates were Perish Trapping/Hex/Will-O-Wisp Gengar, and a standard Breloom. I...
i agree. the lack of DD is fine because chomp is already powerful enough. if he had DD, i wouldn't mind it, but i could already predict the thousands of threads whining about how it should be "banned!!!11"
how would you go about evolving a pokemon at level 1? in order to reach those evo's (sans pory), wouldn't you at least have to level them up to level 2?
if they banished natures away, breeding would be so much easier. it would save me hours.
i really do hate natures. probably why i never play ruby/saph, because that's when those god awful things made their first appearance.
wow, such greath in-depth analysis there...
and rampardos >> bastiodon, easily. there are better tanks out there than a bastiodon, even in other tiers.
That must've been a badly natured Jumpluff, because there's no way Gyarados could've gone first pre-DD, without being Jolly and/or CSed. Wonder how that would've changed the battle, or maybe SP still would've missed.
Interesting teams though.
Finally, a warstory! Great writing...and like others have stated, I wouldve loved to see some Tangrowth ownage. Interesting set on Heatran, I've never seen one run with Protect.
