Welcome to Baek to Basics - A VGC Player Improvement Series where I talk about different topics in VGC and aim to help players of all skill levels improve their ability in VGC.

Teams are one of the most important resources for anyone as a player as they way you build a team determines the tools and resources that you have to work with in battle and tournament. In this episode, we will discuss teambuilding and the ways to approach it.
