Personally, as good as one's team may be, the outcome is sometimes determined like Rock, Paper, Scissors. At least, it's how I think. Sometimes, luck may be on your side if you score an OHKO with Crit (which rarely happens, but can!) and interrupted an extremely powerful sweeper on the move. By doing that, you might have ruined your opponent's entire plan, or a portion of it. Mind-games and prediction is essential for me. I could have a sucky team and might do well if I can learn to predict better.
I remembered someone from SP, and I forgot who it was, asking me "Do all of your Pokemon carry Lum Berries?", lmao. No. I have Lums to be prepared to be status-inflicted, and managed to surprised people when they attempted at paralyzing my entire team. But that's only for certain Pokemon that I personally expect people to Paralyze (to stop them from sweeping) ; Prediction awareness at it's finest.
I switch Pokemon back and forth like crazy though, but it's part of how I've always played. xP
