[8 / 1 / ?]
How the fuck do I git gud? I swear I'm following every single guideline and protocol you can think of to win consistently. I'm learning to predict, choose moves accordingly, even double-switch. My team is absolutely solid. It's loaded up-front with bulky sweepers like Mawile and Dragonite out the ass that should be one-shotting everything, and will all the right supports and pivots, and with all the right type synergy. But once I get to 1750, I just hit a brick wall and I can't climb anymore. It doesn't help that after you play so many matches, it takes bloody ages to climb up 50 points. What am I doing wrong here?

Your mistake is that you play smogon single meta. But seriously how should we know what you did wrong if you didn't give us more information? What kinda of Pokemon/Strategy do you have the most trouble with? Which Pokemon do you hate facing the most?

I can consistently hit 2100 + and honestly the only way i could help you is if i do a few battles with you to see where the problem is

But the real problem is that at a certain point, it seems like every single move I make is completely telegraphed. There's really something that I'm missing as to prediction, because I get outpredicted a lot.

Save your replays if you have to and examine why you lost. This goes for any competitive game. Observe what you did and what you could have done differently to prevent losing and if there is nothing you can see directly then your opponent simply outplayed or may have had hax like crits and freeze on his side. Otherwise study up on the mistakes you made and work on them. Then again this is pokemon and not a balanced meta like certain games, particularly fighting, so maybe your opponents just run those typical winning guys like genesect and deoxys and whatnot.

>>16836309 Also Maybe your team isn't as solid as you think what I like to do is play around 50 game with a team that I think is solid and then analyse what kicks the crap outta me then proceed to put a new poke in the team that will completely fix that problem and then analyse again what the new problems would be by removing 1 from the team and then try to compensate with moves / ability's on other pokes from the team and I can sometimes do this over and over and over again and I at least give 30 match to every poke just so that I get used to its strength its really important to know exactly how much damage your going to do to everything know what you can 1 shot and not 1 shot and finally stay unpredictable if you run the most generic stuff its likely that you will get out predicted Sometimes you need to do 2 - 3 - 4 prediction in a row just to compensate for 1 mistake that you did because you did not expect your opponent to have " that move " or " that ability "
