We ' re better off than you . <| sep |> Yes , you have to breed good pokemon to beat the battle tree , as well as EV train them . The pokemon in the EV tree are all EV trained , so you just aren ' t gonna get far if your pokemon aren ' t bred and trained correctly . To get started , here is what I can suggest For starters , check out www . smogon . com , its the 1 # competitive pokemon battling site . It also has a strategy pokedex where you can check out different suggested competitive spreads for pokemon . Also , in smogon there are tiers of play . These include Uber , OU , UU , and many more . These are essentially fan made leaguesgroupings of pokemon , based on usage strength . For example , In the Uber tier basically all pokemon are allowed , including powerful legends like Lugia , one tier below in OU all pokemon are allowed but powerful pokemon like mewtwo , lugia , etc . And this list basically keeps going down until we get to tiers like LC which stands for Little Cup , where you only use nonfully evolved pokemon . Basically there are a ton of different tiers and its to create variety in play , otherwise you end up like in VGC where every single player uses the exact same pokemon . VGC however is the official format , which is what you would see people at the the big IRL tournaments hosted by nintendo playing . The other tiers however are fan made , and are more popular at least on the internet . Of the tiers , OU is probably the most popular , and you can read about what it entails here , just pick a tier you think is the most fun , and have fun playing it since that is the goal in the first place . Also , use pokemon showdown to make teams and test teams quickly and battlepractice against others . , learn how to EV train and IV breed your pokemon . breedingperfectpok % C 3 % A 9 m o n i n o m e g a r u byandalphasapphireFinally , to get an idea how teams should be made work together in a competitive enviroment , check out the smogon rate my team section to see other people ' s teams and explanations . myteam . 52 Also , keep in mind these links are for gen 6 , XYORAS so some of the information is outdated .
