This is a blatant fucking lie. Had a 99 win streak and ran into a Shedinja on battle 100 that walled my entire team. Don't tell me this wasn't on purpose.
First, chill. Not only because this kind of post is against our rules, but also because it's honestly really embarrassing for this website that an 8-year user with mod status would be so wrong while being so condescending about it. To people who have battled in facilities a lot, your post comes off exactly like the people on PS! low ladder calling you a hacker because your Urshifu crit every move through Protect. I genuinely wondered for a bit whether it was satirical or not, but I'll assume it's not, so here's a serious answer.
BDSP Tower, more than any other facility, actually puts the counterteaming into
your hands. You literally have resources that list every single team you can possibly face, you can also view all details about them as soon as you see the trainer name. You can plan for their backline during battle, know what you can safely set up and when, hell, you can plan your ENTIRE team so that it never has a losing or bad matchup. Complaining about getting counterteamed by openly available information you could have prepared for is quite pathetic, especially in the very thread and forum this information is offered in.
Since you faced Shedinja, for example, it means you were doing the regular mode and not Master Class, because Shedinja doesn't show up at all in Masters except on Fantina's roster - which is not a point you'd be at on battle 100.
Regular mode loops around after 49 battles, which means that technically, you lost to a team that shows up in the first set of regular mode (equivalent to battle 2). It should be one of these:
Youngster Ben - Shedinja, Bidoof, Snover
Lady Tiana - Shedinja, Piplup, Oddish
Tuber Aimee - Baltoy, Shedinja, Voltorb
The pool of trainers and teams in the lowest rank isn't particularly large, so the odds you would run into one of these 3 trainers - and so a guaranteed Shedinja - within these 7 battles is not low. As a result, if your entire team is walled by Shedinja and you're playing regular mode, it's not about whether or not it's sent out, it's only a matter of when you'll see the first one. In a way, you're relatively lucky to have gone 99 battles without facing it.
The only thing this loss actually exposes is the fact that whatever team you're running isn't adequately prepared for the Tower, which is quite simply a prep issue on your end, and not a nefarious illuminati plot by the AI to rob your trainer star (which, as it happens, other people have managed to obtain without running into anything they weren't prepared for on battle 100).
Now, before you make another post like the previous 2, please take a second to think about the fact you're representing Smogon as a moderator, and how poorly this reflects on us. Thanks.
