Is there a guide for building a good mon for farming raids? I’m tired of losing because Timmy has to use Charizard against a water terra type.
That being said I know of IVs and EVs but not how to get/use them, so if those are involved please explain like I’m three.
Would this be a good game to get into competitive Pokémon? I’ve always wanted to get into competitive play but the math involved always scared me.

It's the best game to get into competitive because it's the current one. Also, there have been a ton of changes to available mons and their movesets. Terastillization is also a huge mixup that certainly has not solidified into a consistent meta yet. Not to mention that it's easier than ever to breed Pokemon if you're a sperg about legit mons (I'm guilty)
The quick run-down on IVs and EVs is that Pokemon are born with IVs (genetics) and they earn EVs. Any given stat on any given Pokemon can have a number of IVs from 0 to 31. They are born with these and the only way to change it is to trade a bottle cap for hyper training. This can be bred for.
EVs are earned every time your Pokemon gains experience in a battle, even if it's not involved. This is not updated for Gen 9 but it's a good start and otherwise I would use serebii to look up mons you think are associated with a certain stat. Pokemon give certain EVs when you defeat them and a Pokemon can earn up to 252 for any one given stat, can max two this way, and then trickle a few leftover points to a third stat. Or you can split their 510 possible EVs any retarded way you want.
Breed for IVs, kill for EVs. EVs can also be erased with certain berries and raised by vitamins or feathers.

To be fair, developers don't even consider concepts like Game Optimization or proper level instancing anymore. The main excuse is "muh bettur hardwere" with the false assumption that the end user is at least running the equivalent of a 2080.

Thank you, this is really helpful! For raids do Athena EVs and IVs matter or would any Azumaril work?
I understand you can build a Pokémon any way you want but is it better to boost the two best stats a Pokémon already has or would it be better to boost its weaker stats? For example making a really fast high HP Jolteon vs making a higher defense Attack focused Jolteon?
Can you change the stats through vitamins, feathers, berries, etc enough that you can just farm those items to build the ‘perfect’ Pokémon? Or is there always an element of grinding for EVs?
I’m going to have to do some reading up on all of this, thank god for fellow Pokéautists and Serebii.

You can hyper train IVs vs constant breeding. You can also use an item 'Mirror Leaf' (iirc) during picnic sessions to pass on a move that would normally be done through egg moves.

Not precisely their best stats, it depends on what you want to avoid or achieve. Usually Jolteon won't be taking many hits so you're better focusing on Speed and making sure he hits as hard as possible. Now if you want that Jolteon to survive something in specific as to be more specialized you can invest on defenses or HP but you'd have to have a very specific reason to do so.

It depends on your preference and the situation. I once had a somewhat speed-focused Mimikyu that managed outspeed one of my opponents mons. Left that man baffled afterward.

Thank you all for the help, I really appreciate it. I’m actually surprised at how nuanced the competitive side of the game is. I’m not expecting to go pro or anything but it’s nice to not be a complete idiot at competitive battles.

If you ever need help or something shoot me a pm, I'd be happy to help or shit. Or just jump here as well, whatever. I'm actually looking to go hard on vgc this next couple of years.

Bro I just want to go on a region spanning adventure with the Shiny Latias I caught in BDSP. Why do I need to spend more than a half an hour to get to the first trade station or pay a subscription fee for pokemon home/bank/[Live service that will be dead within a decade]?
I recently started Pokemon crystal based on advice from here. There is a bit of an emulation bug where I have to set the time everytime I boot the game, but it's the only one I encountered so far.

Bottle caps are 20,000 Pokedollars a pop now and also drop from Tera Raids. So if you'd rather grind raids for caps and money than hatch eggs, there's really no need to breed anymore for the most part. Egg moves can be passed instantly with a mirror herb and a picnic as mentioned earlier in the thread.
One exception is building for Wonder Room or Trick Room. Pokemon with minimal speed work best in Trick Room, and you can't use a bottle cap to lower a Pokemon's IV. So you have to breed for 0 IV in Speed if you want it. Same for if you want the shittiest Defense/Special Defense possible for Wonder Room
