>>23004306You can't be serious. Legit strategies are not cheating. They are just foolproof (or semi-foolproof) strategies that are used to get easy victories. The truth is, the AI is absolute shit. If you just construct a team of powerful Pokemon, you'll be racking up victories until the AI happens to roll a team that performs well against you and also has some luck. Making a powerful team that can defeat multiple threats isn't the issue, because otherwise any half-assed idiot could get 1000+ victories with any well built team. The issue is to avoid hax, because the games are filled with RNG. Using strategies that are known to work well and make you less vulnerable to hax isn't cheating, it's good teambuilding and being prepared to face anything. You're a goddamn idiot if you don't realize this. Playing against AI is completely different from playing against humans. When you're playing on Showdown / Battle Spot you can just ignore most luck-based strategies since they're rare and some occasional lose isn't going to ruin your ladder ranking when you can compensate it with multiple victories. For this reason, using inaccurate high risk high reward moves is also fine. In Maison however, you have to make a team that can get consistent victories. Relying on any kind of luck is out of the question, but what the AI wins in hax over multiple battles it loses in prediction, and you can use this as your advantage.
>>23004421Counterpicking is not cheating, that's why you're running more than one Pokemon. When you lead with M-Kangaskhan, you have something waiting in the back that shits on Fighting-types and bulky Ghosts. This is not a problem. Building your team to counter its own weaknesses is one of the key points in winning at Maison.
