Well, before you learn to battle, it'd be best to make sure that you have started out correctly, and everything there is to know, you know. You can learn how to start out by clicking here and read all the rules here.
Alright, now you must learn to battle your pokemon. There's a few things you should know, they are listed below:
1) Dodging everything is impossible. You can't miss every single move, win a battle and still have not a scratch. Make it real, such as your pokemon has gotten all scratches and such from the move the other pokemon had move. Or, anything along those lines, just make it real!
2) Battles end sometime. Lets say your creature was struck in the head with the move... bite. Then, has ember and flamethrower used on it... not only that, but your pokemon is a grass pokemon! So, its obviously not possible for it to not of fainted already since it's level seven. Unless, the next move it faints... but still, think about it. Make it realistic, you don't always win, you don't always lose... that's life.
3) Know your weaknesses and strengths. The old saying is, "One mans garbage is another mans treasure." The same thing applies here, "One Pokemons weakness is its enemys strenth." Okay, well, they are close... kind of. Anywho, you should know that your grass pokemon has a weakness of fire, but fire has a weakness of water.
4) Know the pokemon moves. Don't have your pokemon perform ember if its a water pokemon. Moves can be found under the pokemon's name in the pokedex. However, your pet can only learn a max of four moves, so you'd have to choose them as they level goes up...
