I'm about to introduce my friend who's never played pokemon ever to competitive battling. What team should I start him out with for OU?

I encouraged him to play the actual games first but he's not into that aspect. More into competitive gaming.

What a smart man, I'm sure he'll have a steady grasp of type-advantages and other important mechanics.

Ferrothorn, Gengar, Salamence, Donphan, The Flinching Faggot and Blissey would make for a retard-friendly team.

If he wants to actually play competitively, have him learn VGC. That's the format with the most prize support.

You have to develop favorites and learn painstakingly that they suck before you can jump into competitive battling.

But Garchomp is my favorite, even before we knew how competitively viable he'd be.

A pretty accurate assessment, but if you really want to kick ass in OU, only use pokemon in the top two lines.
