Get help with your new and incomplete teams here.
For Team Posters
I'm no mod, so I can't enforce these rules, but it'll make it easier on raters if you follow these.
1. Don't post unless you've already chosen one team member. If you can't decide on one, just pick a pokemon set you like.
2. Please choose you team's strategy and tier before posting, it'll help raters choose team members select better candidates for your team.
3. Only post incomplete teams. If you've already decided on all six team members, make a thread for it.
4. Try to explain why you use each pokemon. Explain what their job is, and how they help your team.
5. If you have already chosen more then two pokemon, and you list there entire sets, I suggest using a spoiler tag to conserve space. You can do this by using the code

*what you're hiding*[*/spoiler] without any of the asterisks.
6. If you are using standard smogon sets, you can just post each set's name. However, I suggest posting the entire sets, so raters don't have to scratch their memories or look anything up. If you do, please use this format, and if possible, add images(if you need some, they can be found here).
For Raters
1. Don't just pick a pokemon just because it works for you. If they are using Specially Defensive Heatran don't suggest changing to Balloon tran because you "like it", unless you can give a good reason.
2. Make sure the pokemon you suggest matches that team's genre. If the poster is making a hyper offense team, don't suggest a Jellicent.
3. Unless the poster is making a gimmick team, try to avoid suggesting gimmicks. No Cofagirus/Slaking duo or belly drum linoone.
4. You have to know what you're talking about. If you started playing pokemon competitively only recently, or you lack experience with serious battles, then your advice will probably be unhelpful. Yes, I know, everyone starts somewhere, but it's best you let more experienced members do it.
The rules may change, depending on how this goes. Be sure to check the front post every now and then.
