>>15823555>If you see someone with a fucking froslass, you KNOW they're gonna lead with it, so you just use Ttar in the lead.Then you realize why the haters hate Smogon. There are 700+ Pokémon, from which a healthy portion are competitively viable. Why the hell wouldn't you try something new now and then, even if common sense told you'd get your ass handed to you?
Team preview has been around ever since Stadium, and that was back when you would find a combination from less than 20 Pokémon in any viable team. Go ahead and keep track of every single possibility without any kind of aid.
Also, Zoroark can fuck your shit up pretty badly if you don't know it is in a given team.
>the battle box doesnt work in passerby challengesIt does. It prompts you only if you have something in your battle box, unlike the Battle Maison where it asks you even if you don't have anything in it and is grayed out. To access it, check the screen where you can access your bag and change the music. There's a button that says Pokémon. There you can choose between battle box and party.
