Where are you having problems?
Are you building your own teams?

kinda, i've been playing OU, and i use pokemon that are considered good. I make sets based on what i see other people using, but it's mainly guessing.
I don't really understand team synergy that well, and i'm not really great at predicting. is there a way to kind of assume what the opponent will do?

Im sorry to tell you but "all pokemon are viable" is a huge meme, if you don't have a good idea of what pokemon have the best stats abilities and movesets don't know what damage an attack will do don't know a Pokémon has a random ass move you'll never do good

Don't build your own teams until you super know what you are dong. Steal a team from Pokeaim or Finch or whoever and use that to ladder and learn the game. If you are new, your teams are probably going to suck even if you bring good pokemon.

I think building your own teams from the start is an excellent way to learn your weaknesses, and figure out what works and doesn't work in the given meta

def want teleport over aromatherapy on Bliss prob.

I think a team with four walls is gonna struggle in this type of meta if you are going for a balanced team. You might want to try to add a scarf Dragapult or boots Zeroara for speed control too because your team is hella slow.

in OU, you want momentum moves like teleport, uturn and volt switch. I don't think Slowbro is that great rn without Chinderace especially because you have Mandi and Hippo for physical mons.
