>>23198809The way I see it, its full of 50/50s every turn leading to no actual skill needed, just flip a coin and see if you should protect or not that turn, the outcome over time will still be the same as if you decide to "predict" your opponent. Sure it may look like you outplayed your opponent but not rly cause it was 50/50.
Not to mention that the 4/6 Pokemon is incredibly luck based no matter how much you try to justify that it isn't.
Im sure the prediction argument can be applied to all of pokemon in general but more so in doubles or triples with the protect spam.
Basically pic related.
