I agree about needing to know how to utilize the sets! unless you're justin... he gets a new team & wins a tourney right away lol
Haha Justin has experience though. He's seasoned in VGC and knows how to make calls against what he's up against because he knows what's popular in the meta. Being familiar with that you're up against is pretty important, though it can backfire sometimes. I ran into a physical mega Sableye running Power-Up Punch earlier because I was expecting the typical Calm Mind variant you see in singles, haha. Definitely caught me by surprise.
Yea when everybody copied Pachirisu and it just wasn't the same
