I literally only got seriously into Pokemon a year ago, so competitive is relatively new to me than you guys. You guys have been playing 4+ year seriously. This isn't bait, I'm 100% serious.

No.
also, showderp is my only interaction with competitive, I don't play 'competitively' outside that thread. Do you have a learning disability or something?

Nigger we're not on some hugbox roleplaying forum. I don't give a damn that you get wasted every weekend or jack off 24/6 to your waifu, and don't have time for competitive. If you're actually serious about taking seven months to hit 1.3 elo, you have some sort of mental issue. The one exception I will grant is if you post your team.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.

Pic very related. Let me break this down to your sub 1200 elo ass.
>Forretress is bad
Access to rapid spin, toxic, volt charge, stealth rocks, spikes, and toxic spikes. Possibly the best lead pokemon there is.
>Scarf Terrakion is bad
Check/Counter to many popular sweepers today, excellent revenge killer.
>Adamant gyara is bad. Waterfall is bad
Waterfall's the best physical water attack Gyarados can use. Once he uses DD, he's usually able to outspeed most of the unboosted meta game, so the jolly nature doesn't help there. Thank you for your criticism, have a nice day.

ok so off the top of my head

DD megados is DD/waterfall/crunch and sub or taunt, your preference

Rotom is missing 4 EVs

Replace forry with ferrothorn, does the same thing but better, rapid forry hasn't been good since DPP as is has no recovery

Either make Clefable CM with Magic guard or unaware with wish/heal bell/protect/moon blast

It's OK-ish but definitely scope for improvement, hope I helped

Retards plz go. I got into competitive in gen 3, I got gud in gen 4, reached the leaderboards consistently in gen 5, got bored and realise the limitations of the game and lost interest in muh competitive game. Now I just use a fun team with muh bros and whenever I feel like it hit the leaderboards. You can get 1.3k in less than an hour. 1.3K is the strength of an average showderp team.

Yeah, no. 'fraid that's not how real life works. I games, everyone has access to the same resources, the same knowledge, and every action has a constant reaction.

Now in real life, you can't plan for fucking shit. There are no rules, literally everyone is out to gank you. And even if you could come up with a plan, good luck acquiring the resources to make that shit work.

So why not have fun on something that you know at least you have a chance to win at occasionally?

Unfortunately this usually fails. So many professional athletes try and most fail. So many try to set up a business and alost all fail. Getting passive income isn't so easy and if there was such a way people would jump on it until it eventually becomes non-viable. So many try to become a Pokémon master and fail. See OP, he just reached regular scrub level, and he's happy. He will never be a true Pokémon master like me and neither will you, kid.
