Guys I just want to make one thing clear, you don't need to earn badges or anything like that. We'll be using pokemon show down. You don't even need to download it! It basically just let's you choose your pokemon items and move sets the battle them. Ever played pokemon stadium? Think of that but being able to choose any pokemon (that isn't on the ban list) and picking what moves they have and what items they hold. It's great because there is no training and you can test toooons of teams!
