Most teams have descriptions for how to use each Pokémon.
NOTICE: Some teams and types are going to be more viable than others simply due to the nature of monotype. A good way of telling how viable a type is, and therefore how easy a type is to use, is looking at its usage. Conveniently, Scpinion updates the monotype usage statistics each month which provides us with the following rubric:
More Common
|
Less Common
|
Less Difficult
|
More Difficult
|
As a beginner, a good place to start would be with a type on the left side of this rubric. Those types generally have more success in competitive play. If you're looking for more of a challenge, try a type from the right side. Just keep in mind that type usage is not a perfect indicator of difficulty and that different types have different play styles.
Teams are listed in alphabetical order by type.
