I've never cared much for the competitive scene since Gold/Silver, so I tend to just try and pick cool designs and/or pokes I like. I will always try to find a way to put a Shuckle on my team, even if they're awful in the general sense of the main game.
Pokes I like > pokes I don't like with godlike stats.
