Not particularly. The sensible and pragmatic approach to take would be to cover all of your bases when you're thinking about your team.
Adding a 'Taunt' into your party is simply the sensible thing to do, rather than having to know in advance your opponent's strategy.
That's true of dealing with several different types of parties with just six pokemon, too; you include different types of pokemon for that very reason. Hence you now understand that you don't win Pokemon with the strongest set of Legendaries, you win it with the most flexible team.

Your sleep trap strategy may take out one pokemon, but now your opponent knows what you're doing and can counter.
You also win it with having a wide base of Pokemon from which to choose. A man with 36 trained Pokemon has a better chance of winning a tourney than his opponent, who who only has 6, because even though he can't use all 36 at once, he would have the ability to switch out his Pokemon between rounds to counter his opponent who, having only six Pokemon has his roster "set in stone." If anybody is to win a tournament, the six in the first round and the six in the championship might very well be entirely different Pokemon altogether. There might be a little overlap for Blaziken and other gamebreakers but you certainly would want to change out to make sure you have a shot at winning against whatever comes your way.
Of course, in order to have more Pokemon you have to spend more time.

Hey guys, i was thinking of doing another furaffinity pokemon related thing, kinda like a playthrough. You can pick a starter out of 3 given pokemon i decide and then beat other forum members who take the roles as gym leaders, using all pokemon of one type as they normally would. Once they beat all gym leaders they can challenge the champion from the old tourney maybe?
The only thing is is that it will all be toned down skill level wise to a just for fun kinda thing, no ev training or breeding all any of that technical jazz, the only limitition would be levels, for example you couldnt rear or collect pokemon over level 30 if you havent beat the 2nd gym leader for example.
Whaddya reckon?
I got the idea today when i looked down i noticed i had a cool looking team of bug pokemon

I know it's been mentioned before, but if somebody was a gym leader or elite four member, they couldn't challenge themself.Hey guys, i was thinking of doing another furaffinity pokemon related thing, kinda like a playthrough.

Also, if EV training ain't allowed, that's my entire ice team scrapped. Which sucks. :L

What's the point? EV Training points are added automatically as you progress in the game and the honors system isn't going to work to keep people from slipping their Pokemon some vitamins or juices. And truth be told, not being able to play the Star Fox-like soccer EV training minigame with Pokemon stinks.

Well keep the numbers small for gym leaders, just volunteers that would go up against the "players", me for example being the pathetically weak but cool looking bug gym leader.
You would have to start with a new team to make it fair anyway, there would be a level cap untill you beat a gym leader anyway.

Lemme just get something straight- are we talking like, catching them from the wild and then not being allowed to touch them or level them up in any way?

Yeah but only to a certain level, like you cant get them past level 30 if you dont beat the right gym leader for it, like in the actual game.
It was a half assed idea i just thought of today, probably a tonne of kinks in it.

Not a single ditto trade on the GTS is sensible. They all want Xerneas/Yveltal/Zygarde and also claim to have perfect IV ditto at level 30 which I have much doubt in. I'll just put a trade in for a ditto for another ditto. At least it'd be a reasonable trade out of the list.
Also, I'm a bit iffy on the whole playthrough idea. It sounds cool, but we'd have to round everyone up for it which can be a bit hard given the different times.

It could work if everyone was a gym leader and a player at the same time. Everyone trains two teams (gym and playthrough). They can only use the playthrough team against a gym leader and the leader can only use their gym team. The gyms can either be in order or not. For a trainer to advance, he must defeat the first gym leader (or all of them). For the gym leader to get his own badge, he must defeat all the people that challenge him. This can be set-up tournament-wise so not everyone gets all the badges because a leader's team will eventually beat them. Or it can be a race to see who can get all the badges the fastest (limits will be set to prevent abuse on this though).

I would like to be added but im not sure what my pokemon are in the Safari yet though - FC 1306-6059-1358
We could set up battles with specialized rules like only unevolved Pokemon or all-Safari teams (the latter would have to use the honor system) but I think it could be done.

Dittos can be found in certain Friend Safaris with two perfect IV's.

Well that makes more sense. But why do they all want legendaries? I mean I went through so many, and they all wanted legendaries. It's not that deep.

Because everyone else's Pokemon were traded already. Seriously, if you put up a Pokemon for an easy trade it'll be done within the hour, but if you request something ridiculous it'll just sit there ... and sit there ... and sit there....
Me and my dirty mind. -_-
You can find the thick club on wild Cubone and Marowak (5%) and light clay on Golett and Golurk (5%)
Good luck.
I have a Marowak with a Thick Club. You can have it for whatever, not looking for anything particular myself.

Pass me your FC, would you?
Certainly. Code is 1821-9780-3172, name is Dane. A quick trade then off to town I think.
No problem. Sorry if my trade n' run seemed a bit rude, I'm in a rush this morning.
Dr. D, just saw your post and I'll add you when I get back.
