Was thinking about how the type specialists would decide what to bring to a battle. Only 6 mons can be brought to team preview, so the type specialist would have to choose which 2 to exclude out of the 8, without having any info on the opponent. So having 8 Pokémon in ones pool has little strategic value in that sense, since any advantage gained from bringing a specific set of mons would just be random/lucky. However, the idea is nice in theory, eg. to have options apart from a fixed set of 6.
