^ golden post - post of the month! If this is facebook, I would like it :p
Seriously, those 3 golden rules encompasses all aspects that makes a competitive player, which includes prowess in team building AND battling.
Rule #1 applies to battling, and admittedly requires some raw experience and practice to get the hang of it.
Rule #2 applies to both team building and battling. It's good to know the large picture when you're making your team and battling with it. Especially with team preview, you use the main purpose of this team to outline a general plan or weight the value of each mon.
Rule #3 is an underrated rule for team building, imo. Especially balanced teams seems to break this rule more often than not. For instance, some players base their teams around one sweeper, and end up adding too many support / utility mons with no real complementary / secondary offense in case the opposing team hard counters that theme Sweeper. Rule #3 is probably why BP-chain teams, and to a lesser extent Smash Pass teams, aren't so great because they are just not flexible enough to be running plan Bs.
Anyway, sigging this :p
