Resource Simple Questions/Simple Answers: Random Battles Edition

A few questions!

1. Is there a way to see the win rate of different sets, or is it only possible for different pokemon?

2. Do pokemon with substitute have their HP EV optimized the same way Beast Boost pokemon do with some of their stats? Especially asking with regards to luvdisc, since it also runs endeavor and normally would have an HP stat 1 point too high to optimize for it (but I'm sure there's other relevant examples).

3. Is there a good place to get coaching or at least advice on Random Battles? There isn't a category for it in Battling 101.

1. Nope.

2. Yeah, HP is very commonly optimized, even for Stealth Rock damage values. The line of code is here for gen 9 if you want to look at what specifically gets optimized.

3. Unfortunately we don't really have an updated guide, unless someone snuck one in that I'm not aware of. If you ask in the chatroom sometimes people will give you tips on specific battles, and there was a guide for gen 8 written years ago, but besides that mostly the advice is just "use the tools that let you see potential sets". EDIT: Looking at that guide again, it really should be stressed that it's very specifically for gen 8. Ignore all the info about set generation for any other gen. The strategic sections can still apply though.
 
Thanks! Sorry for posting twice in succession, but I thought of one more.

Is there a way to record the team that you got other than manually writing it all down? As far as I'm aware, replays only save the moves that were actually used, but it would be helpful for me to study past sets and try to think of other options I should have gone for, which I can't do without knowing what options I had.

You can type /showteam in the battle chat and it will give you all the sets in text form
 
While discussing the limitations to how gen 1 teams are generated, I was wondering: in a typical 6v6 battle, does the rejectedButNotInvalidPool ever come into play, or is that more for battles with 24v24 or monotype battles?

Is it safe to say that 6v6 battles will always have at most two of the same type, at most one lvl 100 mon, and at most two mons weak to the spammable attacks (the three scenarios that can add to this pool)?

Relevant code

Any clarification would be appreciated! Thank you.
