My First PU Team

[bloomfusion]

Hi, this is my first PU team. I played Pokemon Showdown on and off for many years and I played actual Pokemon games before Pokemon Showdown but I'm still a noob at competitive Pokemon. I did the Smogon movesets for them but some I kept certain moves and when I did the Smogon movesets I still came across some issues (probably because I'm a noob) like if I came across a Pokemon that had supereffective moves against mine.

So here's the team:

I would be happy to rate this, bloomfusion, but could you include EV’s and IV’s?

Thanks for helping!

Oh wait do I have to give the IVs too? Because I don't know which numbers to give. Do I give the 31's or do I give the numbers next to the 31's?

Here's just some basic, general advice:

Create your team on Pokemon Showdown, using both EV's and IV's. Like so:

Also, start off by using analysis sets. If you go in chat and type "/analysis alcremie" these will pop up. It's useful when you're first starting.

I would next refer you to the Viability Rankings: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-pu-viability-rankings.3741667/

A lot of the Pokemon you're using are low viability Pokemon, which I would not recommend.

Once you have used all those resources, share your team in the form of a Pokepaste. For example: https://pokepast.es/80df4e3a48ae55bf

Once you do all of that, I would love to rate your team!
