I swear I already got a team but I'm still a noob, I've just been very busy (and realized I need to remember my team moves when fighting lol)

@(you need an account to see links) I'll try my best to dm you this weekend to practice if you have any chance

If anyone needs any tips or tricks, or even team recommendations, please reach out anytime or ask it here! I, as well as the other E4 members, are happy to assist wherever we can prior to the matches starting, outside of practice matches against us.

If there's also any button/toggle/message on Showdown that you need help with, please reach out for that as well! The website is a bit tricky sometimes haha.
