I'm also new to the scene other than trying it once on a gameboy around 2 decades ago in elementary school.I really like the game, but I really am a stranger to the pokemon series. My only experience is spectating my brother play it on an emulator back in 2009. So far I got to the second town with starter, lopunny, a bird and linoone. I dont wanna use the crutch, but I do want to know which mons would be good to use, also which skills are good. Anyone got any ideas?
I found some useful information which also carries over to this game:

The nature indicates a change in it's stat growth. The one you start with sparsely use physical attacks, it is instead focused on special attacks. Anything that reduces the growth of the attack value (not special attack value) is then very good for that pokemon as indicated.

IVs are just stat addons which the pokemon slowly gets as it levels (I think) ranging between 0-30 in their value.
What took me a little bit of time to understand correctly was the damage types. Not elements. Just what constitutes an attack or special attack (kind of like magic attack). It's indicated in the skill menu.

Tip:
I decided to start the game anew after getting to the third city. There's something called a Macho Brace. I looked it up as the description of it was sort of vague. The thing seems to double your stats upon level up and the speed malus is only during battle. Once you take the brace of it goes back to normal, but you'd permanently have doubled the effects of your level ups in the meantime. So put the waifus into the box and use some "throwaway" pokemons as mains in the meantime.
Poison is a good status effect to get the pokemons low on health, as to make them easier to capture. Sometimes your pokemons will hit too hard to get into a good red range for capture. Poison helps.
