Guys, I need some help gitting gud. No shitposting, no gimmicks-- I need some honest criticism.
Over the past two days I've tried to successfully ladder myself on Pokemon Showdown, but keep getting stuck at a rating of 1620 or so; consequently, my rating has remained in the 1500-1600 range on average. Before I hit this wall I had been semi-successfully running a hyper offensive team with Focus Sash Mamoswine acting as an entry hazards setter. That is, until I began running into numerous amounts of stall teams that have been kicking my ass. It seems it doesn't even matter if I manage to out-predict their maneuvers-- the combination of sneaky pebbles, paralysis, toxic, etc. eventually whittles my team to shambles.
I've tried adding more bulk to my team. I've removed my fast fire chicken because of the severe limitations that rocks impose. I've even replaced Mawile and Scizor with Venusaur as my mega to help with switches. But I keep getting nowhere.
Has any other veteran player hit this wall? What can I do to git gud?
