Lol, I didn't know there actually are that many people doing that stuff. I mean, sometimes it's clear that my opponents look up stuff on Smogon (I once used a Lanturn in OU and MANY people thought it was the parafusion set Smogon suggests as "the way to go" for OU, although that set is terrible... lol) But geez, are you serious?
Personally, I've never done that a single time since I started battling in the GSC era. lol
The main reason probably is, that once I got a team out of "testing phase" I'm familiar enough with my Pokemon to know pretty much anything that could happen, including the damage it would be doing. And then again, I do not fear standard smogon sets enough to actually care to calculate their effects.
But well, everybody has his own style of play. I must say I really raged about people looking stuff up in the days of NetBattle, but as long as Shoddy allows me to do two or three battles at the same time, my enemies shall take all the time they want. =)
