Trying to get into DP

[sbc]

I ignored the DP hype when it first came out largely because I don't have a DS. Now I am trying to make an effort into honing my skills before competitor comes out. I have downloaded Shoddy and have looked over a number of articles about pokemon.

However, I would be most grateful if someone could provide me with:

1. Tips/Metagame Outline
2. Threat Lists
3. Useful/Interesting Moves or Items List
4. Strategy Analysis

Thanks in Advance

Being an asshole is a rising trend on shoddy battle.

Alot of people copy Obi's team and other teams on the RMT section that have high ladder rankings so those may be able to give you a glimpse of the metagame too.

Research this on your own like everyone else has to.

Everything you're asking for is right here in this forum or on the website. Check Stark, C&C, the RMT forum and all the write ups on the website. They're even sorted by tier (aka OU, UU) so it's pretty easy to find out what's used and what isn't. And someone with any competitive battling experience should know that the by and far best way to discover what's what is to actually go battle.
