What's the point? Especially if you want to use the pokemon you actually want to use, instead of designated kil-all pokemon teams of the same 6 pokemon everyone is running? In a game with a huge variety of creatures and attacks it's silly that 90% of them are totally useless when it comes to battling other people.
