Use Overused and OP Pokemon only, play rock/paper/scissors online because everyone uses the same ones and then mastrubate when you win against someone who has no clue what he is doing.

I should give some backstory. A friend's asking me to enter a tournament with him, and while I'm more than happy to do it, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Google those and do research.

Then pick couple good Pokemon and build a team around them (make sure there are wide variety of Pokemon, couple sweepers + wall or two + healer/gimmick). Choose abilities, natures and movesets carefully.

Then just go to Pokemon Showdown (online battle simulator), edit your team (make sure you save your team outside Showdown, a text file on your computer is okay) and battle with people. Practice makes perfect.

What are the rules for the Tourney?

The biggest thing is will it be singles, doubles, or triples, and the maximum team size. Those all have vastly different effective strategies.

Poison Heal Gliscor, Swagplay Klefkei, Banded Talonflame, Rotom Wash, Mixed Attacker Aegislash, and Mega Kangaskhan. That's the team you use.

OP, the team that was described here >>18544075
is the team you can use if you only want to win, but I'm really sure that others will think that you played cheap by only using over used and uber Pokemon on your team.
If you really want to get good, you should come up with a team of your own. It would be much less predictable and more fair to other players.

Quoted By:

Most important things by far are:
>knowledge - know your pokemon, know what they can outspeed, what they can OHKO, and what can OHKO them
>synergy - you want a team that synergizes well - it's no good having 5 special sweepers, or a team with nothing that can take a physical hit
>experience - you need to know what the fuck you're doing, and you need to know how to predict other players
