      It'd probably be somewhat similar to pvp rankings, except that defensive mons will typically be rated higher then average as defensive mons are easier to use without needing to sack anything (a good defensive core means you mostly just worry about set-up sweepers). Set up mons can also be pretty great at winning 1v6, though they do have to worry about random focus sashes (if you did not set up stealth rocks) or choice scarfs (if you rely on naturally high speed rather than dragon dance/quiver dance). Most OU mons will do fine though.

    • @LordLucario12

      @Dragonoid269 Well you're not entirely off, but you'd be surprised by what Pokémon rank high and which ones end up not doing great. One of the biggest surprises for me was Raticate actually being pretty solid and Registeel being objectively broken

    There was this one feature, in Pokémon Stadium 2, that had these roguelike elements and there were people who took it to the next level by attempting it while blindfolded (to UA-cam's amusement). It even had four separate sub-modes, organized by ball level.
    It's the Challenge Cup!
