Yes, they will be able to see you team before the battle.
On showdown they now have this tier so you can practice and actually prepare to win those 3 battles (or more of course )

It's going to be a really good idea to start running I think body slam, and poison types for the clefable, as for the sun teams.... Eh, they'll have trouble keeping their sunlight up.

I have seen one trick room team though which might be a very good way to deal with this ultrafast meta.

So far I have spammed a sun team with exeggutor, and it runs through teams. It has some problems with zapdos and bulky things such as snorlax, but its access to sleep powder helps it out. I run solar beam, psyshock, sleep powder, and ancient power.

I haven't really had too many problems with sun teams yet, but I've only played 3-4. Clefable is the main issue I'm having. I really need to find something to run body slam to deal with the minimize one that seems to be popular.
