i need to train a team that isn't basically "the team"
generally people have two teams.
one they play through the story with and one they use for competitive. Competitive has no functional use outside battles, as you cannot fly/cut/rocksmash etc but are EV trained carefully. Story team is not specially trained and has stuffty HM moves (surf and waterfall are the only good ones).
edit:

just won the lottery. got a master ball lol
