Way too insecure and full of themselves to teambuild and go thru trial and error gotta just pretend being given under leveled pokemon with weird useless sets is peak competitive play...

The fact that you straight up win if you stop just 1 of your opponent's pokemon from dying is what makes this so interesting, for the tourney I was trying to see if I could make it an actual legit playstyle like steel beam and court change but it's too inconsistent. Realizing that you can intentionally faint their problematic pokemon so the final one is exploitable was a eureka moment, but it still wasn't enough.

For those who just want the answer to the title: Alolan Sandshrew is so good in this format because it has the lowest Special Attack of any Pokémon that can learn Steel Beam. Since Steel Beam does recoil damage equal to half the user's max HP, it's a staple in this format, and Sandshrew can ensure that you don't kill your opponents faster than yourself.

I imagine he didn't elaborate because the format seems a bit boring outside of the concept. The meta strategy says it all: you spam steel beam.

I think the most elegant and interesting part of this format is how a team "taking a lead" can lead to the opossing team getting an edge. For example, in a scenario like that last battle, bringing maushold to tidy up the stealth rock is effective, but after you lose your maushold, you also lose the ability to deal with their stealth rocks. Its an interesting and tricky balancing act, you need your pokemon's utilirarian moves, but having your pokemon die, the goal of the format, reduces the options you have available. Its just the right opposite to the usual pokemon formula And im honestly a huge fan
