You're right about one thing. A team cannot be 100% perfect. A team is based on the following:
1) Your personal preferences (Do you like offense, defense, status-infliction, annoyance, etc)
2) Knowledge of the metagame
3) Experience from playing the metagame
4) Memorization of which Pokemon has certain movesets. (ie: If someone sends out a Sala, you should be able to predict some of the moves, even if there are different sets, sometimes the pattern is really obvious)dd
5) Choices.
5 being extremely crucial. Decision-making is probably more important than stats. If you suck ass at making a good choice during battle, even one single turn can cost you the entire match. I've played in UU matches in which people LET me DD'ed more than 2 times on Altaria. Huge mistake. However, making a good team just means it's a team you enjoy that can counter 'mostly' everything. That's how I define a good team.
I noticed in 3rd gen, I was fcking obsessed with speed and offense. On first turn, my set-up was predictable, but if the opponent didn't have Taunt or Skarmory, it was good game. 1st turn sending out Umbreon (Mean Look, Curse, Rest, Baton Pass) -> Mean Look -> Curse x6 (if do-able) -> BP -> Aerodactyl (maxed speed EVs, Jolly).
Aerodactyl had EQ, Double-Edge (Rock Head ability or something), Aerial Ace (never misses), and Rock Slide. It wiped out everything in the metagame with it's incredible base attack and speed. Along with 2 STAB'ed attacks. In conjunction with White Herb, it NEGATES the -6 turns of speed deduction, so Aero still had 394 speed remaining. Rest on Umbreon heals status effects (Tox, especially). Standard OU for Umbre back then was Wish. The only Pokemon to ever have survive a direct STAB'ed Rock Slide from this was a Suicune. Suicune is beast. Still is, apparently. It's OU in 4th gen.
NB was the shizzle.
