Time for a historic shift in the metagame

I once tried, as a challenge, rather than for efficiency, to have the "perfect team" that can 100% 3-round any team any gym leader is going to use. I've lost interest and gave up as it took too much time, but here was my progress :

It includes my team and how to use it and to beat the gyms. I hope it can serve as inspiration ; I've come to realize that at some point, any well-thought team with good synergy does the job, and the improvement in efficiency is so minimal that it's pointless to go for it. 

Wow Spring sure is long this year, huh. We're wrapping up our feature creep and are aiming to have things ready for deployment in about 10 days. Thanks

Just a friendly reminder that just because something doesn't resonate with you, it doesn't mean it couldn't be important to someone else. And if it doesn't take anything from you, being against it is just prejudice and not actual reasons to be against something.
 
If OP suggested perks for people who wanted to use this feature, or something, I could get the backlash, but it literally affects no one but those who want to use it. It's crazy how live and let live can't apply on the internet, lol

I was so in shock I could not type properly even after I caught him, lol. I was charmed 5% when he shined! The total encounters are closer to 30k since I did 18k at Trapinch a few months ago and started this counter when I moved here. I will be following SamuelJacksons lead and keeping him a Grovyle for the rest of his days. He rolled Relaxed / 31HP.

I'll take this moment to say I appreciate all of the shunters out there sharing their catches, as a longtime lurker of this thread it's kept me motivated to continue towards my PokeMMO Goals.
