Shoddy Battle & NetBattle team-building

i find pokemon i have an affinity towards, or ones that i think are effective. then i work strategies around them and try to build as much synergy between them, and/or set them up where theyre independent but can set-up for others (see my Embargo using Wondertomb, or spikes/destiny bond Froslass). then i play a match or two to develop that sense of effectiveness, and adjust accordingly. for instance, Mind Grape is a great idea, but it needs work. i could either do a simple fix, a minor overhaul, or a complete removal/replacement. Then i look at the opponents i have and their teams if applicable, then i work out how i could best go up against them, and find as many flaws that i can. then i work on a pokemon or three that could either exploit that weakness and destroy them, or sabotage them and cripple them.
