Did you know Bisharp has teammates?
(even though the only teammate he needs is Deo-D)  

what teammates?  

-_-

I'm trying to say that you're supposed to build teams around each others' weaknesses. For example, since Bisharp is destroyed by Fighting (esp. Mach Punch) then you pick teammates who can counter Fighting such as bulky Flying or Psychic types like Deoxys-D or Gliscor. Or, since the vast majority of Fighting moves are physical (aside from FB and Aura only coming from frail special attackers who are dealt with by Sucker Punch) you can just say **** it and throw in Skarmory.

Just because a Pokemon has a 4x weakness doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, some of the top-tier godlike threats have 4x weaknesses. Scizor and Ferrothorn to Fire, Tyranitar and Bisharp to Fighting, Breloom to Flying, Talonflame, Volcarona and Mega-Pinsir to Rock, Dragonite, Salamence, Gliscor, Landorus, even Rayquaza to Ice, Heatran to Ground... It's like the 4x weaknesses balance our their overwhelming strengths. You just have to play around it.  

don't forget to have one to fight its own weaknesses! I have a fire type that knows ground , electric, and grass moves. Everyone else covers everyone else weakness  

ikr  

reminds me of this one battle i had, we kept switching to attack each others weaknesses, and i end up with Delfox and i'm like **** it, I just spam psychic and I end up winning. Due to one of the opponents ability, It made both pokemon have no weaknesses and resistances, so it made Delfox a god against the opponent's Mega blastoise. Delfox had a huge SP.Def stat, which made him even more powerful.

I Don't know how i thought of his but i did!  

ikr  

Of course Bisharp has teammates!!!
He's the Red Ranger!!!!

Nintendo knows who the coolest gen 6 starter was.  

Of course.

Charizard, Pikachu, and now Greninja.

Fml  

I screwed myself over with chespin.

Edit: Charizard and Greninja are going to be in super smash bros!

Mega Mawile is really strong too. It relies on Sucker Punch, so exploit that it only works if you attack and simply set up on it with Swords Dance or whatever, then kill it with faster priority. If you have a faster Pokemon (basicay: anything) with priority, its Sucker Punch will fail and then you can kill it. Or just Will-O-Wisp it and it's instantly worthless.
I still love making fresh alts on Showdown to singlehandedly 6-0 people with fun things

I'm such a noob to competitive battling. I really am. It's hard for me to set up a stat booster unless I absolutely know they are going to swap out their Pokemon.

Okay, that is pretty freaking sweet. I haven't checked the site in awhile so I'm glad you showed me that.

On a side note, is water shuriken worth keeping for Greninja? I feel like if I have a Pokemon's health pretty low that I need to use a move that always goes first. I was thinking of replacing U-Turn, but I'm not really sure. It knows Dark Pulse, Ice Beam, U-Turn, and Surf.  

Greninja is best as a special attacker. Don't believe all that garbage about physical Greninja. So no, water shurikens are just not worth the moveslot. Besides, Greninja is fast enough to outspeed most anything anyway.

Yeah, I feel like U-Turn is a waste though. Is there anything better to replace it with?

U-Turn is for momentum, basically just to do extra damage and switch out.
