Sup guys!
So I've been a fan of Pokemon since it first aired in the UK and I got my Dad to buy me my first ever pack of Pokemon cards, I played the TCG competitively for a few years and after being away from the franchise for over 3 years I thought I'd make a return and a jump to the competitive scene of the Video Games.
I have played the Video Games since being a boy, I can EV train my Pokemon and level up with ease so that isn't the problem, the problem is I have no idea what is big, under/over rated, unplayable or the meta in general. From general reading it seems the weather plays a massive part in the game with Sun, Rain and Sandstorms being the most common used with Abomasnow's Hail being used to counter. Entry damage also seems big with Spikes and Rocks being scattered around the opposition. Am I also correct in saying that Paralyze is the most common used status?
Going from what understanding I have Pokemon such as Reiniclus and Jellicent also work well in weather teams as long as they can essentially Absorb/Magic Guard the effect.
Any guidance/correction/team building help would be greatly appreciated
