I was in the same boat a couple months ago, I would suggest watching some videos of tournaments/vgc battles. There is also a chat function on pokemon showdown that has various chat rooms about learning.
I got started by watching Justin Flynn on YouTube, and also watched some verlisify. Verlis is more for specific builds or ideas whereas Justin does recordings of his battle spot games with commentary as well as other things like catching shinies.
