I can show you the teams I use btw.

Thank you! If you can't get past 1600s, the issue is most likely your gameplan tactics. This may be hard to hear, but constructing a solis gameplan is even more important than predictions. What I mean is: focus on evaluating opponents threats, what tactic you should use to break down their team, what's an important pokemon for you to keep healthy, etc.

If you're using good teams (I recommend the OU samples, except the fat teams) then youll only need practice to fly past 1600s. Unfortunately there's no short cut. To aid you alongside practice, I recommend watching some pokeaimmd showdown lives. He does a great job of talking through his though process. :)

Can you link a personal team you recommend using for the ladder?

I’ll definitely try to change my game tatics! Thank you.
