>Identify a pokemon you want to build around
>Pick 2-3 pokemon to emphasise its strengths
>Pick 2-3 Pokemon to cover its weaknesses
>Pick a solid lead who gels with your strategy
>Make it on PokemonShowdown and battle a lot
>Refine based on what works and what doesn't

spoonfeeding fucking general.

Other tips include
>Don't include UU pieces of shit because "muh smogon". Identify the ROLE, not the pokemon, then find the best pokemon to fill the role. You wouldn't hire a dude to work in your company without any vacant positions. You find dudes to fill your vacant positions.
>Stick your pokes into one of psypokes calculators to make sure you don't have a glaring weakness to one type
>Don't have multiple SR weaks OR include a spinner.
>Include entry hazzards and status shit on there somewhere
>consider a dedicated revenge killer, they are useful

My advice is that you should really build upon whatever you want to. Anything is viable if it has a nice team built around it. Find the Pokemon's flaws and issues, and then you can build a team around those issues to make a good team.
