Trainer tip 1

On shoddy battle all the best trainer's use wall pokemon (Defensive pokemon). It is also quoted by Ash on epsiode 589 classroom training that "A good defence is a good offence." So when you get a pokemon, feed it Hp up's protein's and stuff like that to boost it's EV point's and help you EV train. Also Pokeurs help's alot and the Power item's aswell. And one last thing. When you go on Smogon or Serebii look at the pokemon you are getting and look at it's stats and determine which nature to have for your pokemon.
