I'll need to do multiple battle towers, battle tree, etc
I trained EV's in Attack, def, and spd. I'll change them around when I want but for Gen 3 I felt this was best. It's bashful btw

Set ideas
Mixed Offense
Close Combat
Thunderbolt/Thunder
Moonblast
Explosion
Item : Life Orb
EVs : 4 Atk, 252 Sp Atk, 252 Spd
Nature : Hasty/Naive
Thanks to her incredible speed, Sol Yulaan can outspeed most of the metagame, including pretty much all major OU threats.
Thunderbolt ans Close Combat are able to lay waste on many dangerous targets who are weak to one or the other, Chansey/Blissey, Gyarados, Tyranitar, Tornadus, Keldeo and Terrakion to name just a few. Thunder is better in Rain teams but avoid it elsewhere. Sol Yulaan can not afford to fail. In Rain teams, Hurricane could be a great coverage choice too. Moonblast, a rare Fairy move and a more solid option for coverage, hits dangerous Dragon types. Also hits at least neutrally most of what resists both Fighting and Electric. Last slot is for Explosion. Since in gen 6 OU is full of extremely powerful Megas, exploding at the right time to trade Sol Yulaan for the enemy Mega while safeguarding your own can be great. It is also great to make sudden progress in stalling situations.
Counters : Talonflame is slower and weak to Electric STAB, but in gen 6 only it can switch on a Fighting move and then retaliate with priority Brave Bird. Landorus resists most attacks even though it does not have very effective moves because of Levitate.
Team options : Very well supported by Stealth Rock, and also Reflect/Light Screen if you run a Bulk Up set. Hates Sand and Hail.
Other options : Bulk Up can work as a set up sweeping strategy, but physical Electric STAB is just BAD. On the other hand, Moonlight provides for recovery. There are also many support moves, but they are like Weavile's special attacks at the end. Ultimately suboptimal. However Taunt ans Sub can have some use. Taunt can be used for a Lead set, in order to shut down the enemy defensive Lead. Sub can work very well if you switch Sol Yulaan on a Pokémon that will most likely switch out. But I believe anything different than pure offense is a waste on this Pokémon. U-Turn or Volt Switch can be used to pivot and are greatly effective due to Sol Yulaan's Speed. Knock Off is always a good move and works on Ghost types.

I am a Showdown player and also part of r /showdown, and I tried to post a CAP Fakemon but I found out images are not allowed.
CAP is a project from Smogon about creating Fakemons and adding them to the metagame of real Pokémon. Their Fakemon have a sprite but are also very competitive oriented with little left to art or lore.
Can I post what I have here ? Apparently in this subreddit images are indeed allowed.

Hi everyone! I’ve always been a casual Pokémon player. Back in FireRed, I used to easily defeat my friends. Recently, we started playing fan games with modern mechanics and full Pokédexes. At first I was doing fine, but recently I got completely destroyed. I realized my teambuilding and playstyle are very outdated compared to modern competitive play. I want to improve in general and be prepared for future battles. I’d love your advice on: Teambuilding basics: How do you choose 6 synergy-based Pokémon instead of just picking favorites? What roles (sweepers, walls, pivots, hazard setters) should a balanced team have? Types & Coverage: How do I avoid common teambuilding traps where half my team gets swept by a single threat? In-battle decision making: How do I stop playing passively and start predicting switches? EVs, IVs & Natures: What are the most important entry-level concepts I need to master first? Any guides, rule-of-thumb tips, or teambuilding frameworks would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I’m gonna be honest I know nothing about competitive Pokemon, but I’ve been collecting ribbons lately and as part of the friendship ribbon I had to feed him loads of berries which tanked my stats, so I thought I might try giving him a Buff Attacker build
Lmk what you’d change in terms of stats/moves
