If anything says a lot about the metagame today, it is this video. I agree with this person on basically everything. He mentions that in a quote that he is tired of seeing Vaporeon. Well to me it is the opposite. I would be happy to see a Vaporeon these...
I would have to say the most important part of battling is prediction. It can set you up for OHKO's and sweeps. Good prediction can make almost any type of team beat another.

No Toxic. No Surf. Ice Beam won't do much. Two super effective moves.
why would you even be using those berries?
Anyways, I have a question myself. Is there any other metagame besides shoddybattle that uses Diamond and Pearl Pokemon? Probably not
If you're trying to get milotic, try to use the mulches that is found just left of Hearthome City. It makes it grow faster. I did that but I just couldn't get the IV part of it down.
