I wonder why they decide to share their sets. I personally wouldn't so that it would keep me at the top of the meta with minor amount of people being able to come close to knowing my team. Interesting how No investment in HP on Talonflame.

Well Sejun built the team for the 2014 meta, so he isn't really losing much for revealing it, especially because he's going to be using new teams for VGC '15.
I think the biggest reason why he didn't mind sharing his sets, is because they're pretty simple. Also, I like how theres some 252/252 on his time. Just goes to show that it Bulky Offense like that isn't a bad idea.

I can copy top VGC players' teams all day long, but if I don't know how to utilize the sets and make the appropriate predictions, it's useless. Also, as Peppermint said, the meta has changed between years.
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
