Hey all,
This is my first try in any of the PGL competitions, so I wanted to give it a shot. These are all pokémon I like a quite a bit, so that's probably interfering with my ability to make good decisions.
I'd appreciate someone tearing this team apart in a clear summary, as I have no idea why it's so bad and want to learn from this selection. I've received several lols on Showdown in just a little over an hour.
