Hi Joey, so I came up with this way to play ou where you take a team of not-standard sets (like the team below) or just "bad" sets and start at the bottom of the ladder. Then, every time you see a pokemon on an opponent's team that matches one on your team, if you see a move on that opponent's pokemon or reveal its item, then you can replace it on your team.
