>>30501585Is it wrong for me to objectively walk a middle ground here?
I agree with Karen and never use a pokemon I dont like, I make sure to at least have one of my favorites on each and team and do my best to use other mons to patch in the weakness. I'll never use a full smogon approved ™ team but I also accept the fact I'll never make it to the top if I do.
When it comes to competitive anything, especially with a prize on the line like VGC, if you aren't braining your best you better be prepared for the best. That one Pachirisu and Clefairy were able to throw people off but they were odd ones out. But look at the rest of the teams...
