Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Just a quick warning,
I'm really new, so I don't know how to crunch numbers and all that. My criteria for mons is "are they generally strong" and "does the typing fit?" I don't know much about strategy and setup. I let people setup too early/much and sometimes I get swept to oblivion...
