>>31572501Well, there's a list of things you're gonna want to do. No meta is the same, so my first recommendation is to check out replay archives like SPL to get a good idea of the metagame you plan to join. Make note of the available usage statistics and get an idea of the most common things in the tier. When you're sure you have a decent idea of what is popular and good in your tier, use resources like the "good cores" threads and the teambuilding compendium to guide along your team building process. To find the damage calculator to make your own EV spreads, simply type /calc in any showdown room. Most of all though, just play. Save your replays religiously, and when you're done, look over what you failed to do, and the things your team simply couldn't provide. Use the replays to polish out both issues in your building and your playing, and you should improve in no time.
