I noticed on Showdown VGC, some of my tactics would work on some opponents but the opposite is true for others. I thought I was good with predictions, but now it's looking like they're only right 50% of the time, depending on the opponent. Things like knowing when to set up Trick Room if it's a TR team, ganging up on one mon I when I think the other will use Protect (but calling it wrong), etc. I'm still pretty good at calling when the opponent will use one of the Guard moves and knowing when to switch out one of my own mons, but I just wanted to hear how you guys think through VGC games.
It's hard discerning the players that make thought-out plays, those who like to gamble, and those that plan on just mixing things up.
