When teambuilding you could create an ace in the hole strat that may work in very niche circumstances that would actually function as a suprise factor. If I, for example, put Fake Out on my Indeedee F so I can Fake Out a Murkrow on an oh-so-common krow+ Goldengo lead. If the enemy sees this there is a strong chance they will see this coming and/or understand my strategy. Actually the mind games it creates is a big dice roll. They could
>be aware of this and lead differently>call that I wont lead Indeedee because of the now obvious nature of the strat>be completley unaware of the nuance to this idea, forget krow doesnt get priority immunity in psychic terrain, and/or think I'm a fool for building Indeedee this wayThis isn't healthy mindgames, these are exactly the kinds of coin flip mindgsmes people complained gen 7-8 Ally Switch was doing to the game. I don't have anything but the trust in my opponent's competancy with this game to base my desicion off of, and that's a fallacy to trust in of itself.
