Does this answer your question?

Answer 1

This thread and this thread both contain tutorials and other resources that should be helpful to new competitive players. Some of them were written by other users on this site, and some of them are made by people elsewhere on the internet.

https://pokemonshowdown.com/ is the battle simulator that most English speakers use. You can battle random people on various different ladders by either using a random team or building your own team. If you want to join a tournament, there are faster and more casual ones in Showdown's chat rooms and bigger tournaments on Smogon Forums. There's more information about these websites on the first thread's second answer.
