Pokedokus have had me longing for some tougher Mons puzzles, so I designed some tricky 3x3s for friends and thought I'd share publicly. Answer key in replies -- no googling/looking at showdown, no repeat answers, and must answer all 4 prompts!! (Some boxes have multiple answers)

Here's my take -if it's not on the list don't use it -the 3 120bp 100acc spread move abusers are the 3 best -turtle has the most potential once creative comps start popping up at majors. Mirai similarly with the quark guys, but no 120bp spread sooo -groudon zac probably fall off

@ScrletBelvedere You and your opponent still have an equal amount of time to analyze the team sheet though regardless of if you swap at 1:30 of preview timer or a minute earlier... if I know I'm going to be better at analyzing how to quickly navigate a 6v6 from team preview than my opponent, why-

Favorite all time team is actually a singles team from Gen6OU. From scratch, I came up with the idea of Zam+Manaphy to abuse spikes and had a defense structured to keeping spikes up and enemy spikes down. Used it 2x to win my first singles major and propel Manaphy into the meta.

Contrary to the trendy take of "BO3 ladder bad", I can tangibly feel how much better I've gotten at actually playing/thinking about vgc (especially balance) in just the last 2-3 months of its existence. My vibe playing on BO1 is improvement is less of a focus than funny ELO go up

@ScrletBelvedere do I deserve to lose that advantage? That's an extremely important skill to have developed at these tournaments -- something many practice. It's been the running norm and the understood ruling since team sheets became the default. Respectfully, I don't see the issue personally.

@AzazeL_the_God Turns the game into "who reads who better". 80% of singles 6v6 teams are built around being able to have an answer to everything defensively and the game plays less around finding good "cover-all" plays and more "setup unstoppable traps". Cuz of how mindgamy 4v4 is, lower ceiling
