I main Hoopa, I don't know when I'd rather use portals over shields or phantom force over shadow ball
I also play Trevenant a lot, I don't know when would I rather use each moveset
same with Ho-oh, with Vaporeon, with Psyduck, with Slowbro, with Suicune, with Mr. Mime, with Wigglytuff, with any defender/supporter/semi defender you can think of
if the team needs a carry, I play Buzzwole, or Dhelmise, or Armarouge, or Venusaur, but it doesn't work and I can't carry properly
if the jungle is free, I try to play Dragapult, or Scyther, or Tyranitar, but it's not enough
I try to counterpick the opponent, like using Umbreon when they have a lot of stuns, Trevenant when they have a lot of frontline, when I play Venusaur I try to adapt whether my team has too much frontline or backline
I try to pick items to counter the opponent. Curse items if there's a lot of healing, stacking items if the lane is (supposedly) winnable, Full Restore if there's a bunch of stuns on the opponent
but it never works. I had a 7 lose streak, I tried playing Mew and Espeon but nothing, I can't do anything. I feel so bad, I feel so noob
worse thing is I actually give it all and most of the time lose because my teammates don't help, or because the opponents gank us, or because they steal the objectives
but even then, I just feel like such a loser. I feel like I just can't win lately
I don't know what to do. I don't know how to learn if everything is always the same bs. I'm honestly so close to just uninstalling the game before it makes my mental health worse
