Rating Technique

13:51	Jimbon	on most teams, it's more a matter of efficiency
13:51	Jimbon	squeezinf in all the possible moves on a team in place of moves that aren't that important
13:51	Jimbon	*squeezing
13:51	Jimbon	for example, i rated a team the other day with protect ferrothorn with rocky helmet
13:52	Jimbon	the ferro had leech seed, but protect becomes less important without leftovers
13:52	Jimbon	i suggested to put stealth rock on ferrothorn, which opened up a new moveslot on his mamoswine
13:52	Jimbon	etc
13:52	DrCiel	Uh huh.
13:52	Jimbon	stuff like that is small but makes a difference, as it opens up a new moveslot for mamoswine
13:52	Jimbon	to hit something it previously couldn't
13:52	Jimbon	but for some teams that have bad synergy problems
13:53	Jimbon	you will need to replace one or two members
13:53	Jimbon	on stall teams where you're looking for a good defensive core, don't be afraid to recommend a whole new core
13:53	Jimbon	efficiency is important on stall teams where the goal is to be as solid as possible
13:54	Jimbon	his original stall core was something like ferrothorn and tentacruel
13:54	Jimbon	but the way his team was planned out
13:54	Jimbon	he was very dependant on hazards
13:54	Jimbon	so i recommended forretress + jellicent over his previous core
13:55	Jimbon	he gains a spinblocker, mon with recovery, good stallbreaker, better water resist, extra hazards
13:55	Jimbon	so that's pretty much how to rate
13:55	Jimbon	a lot of it is down to efficiency
13:55	Jimbon	and metagame knowledge
13:55	DrCiel	Alright.
