Yea, but there are perks of 3v3. Such as seeing your opponents team before battle. Also, there's rarely any strategy, you just beat your opponent to death (Don't think that's a perk, but it kind of is for me because I like dealing damage). Another thing is that you see is NU Pokemon being used also, abuse of Ubers and Focus Sash, and lack of walls such as Skarmory and Blissey. So yea, it's pretty different from the main metagame.
