Why this matters

Strong individual Pokemon can still create a weak team when every slot wants a different game pace.

A practical approach

Use this as a focused testing loop. The goal is to make one part of your decision process clearer before adding more complexity.

• Describe your ideal first three turns in one sentence.
• Remove roles that overlap without adding a new matchup answer.
• Check whether your support Pokemon help the same endgame.

Example to test

Fake Out support and Tailwind support are both useful, but they need an attacker and board plan that benefit from the turns they create.
