Anyone who's just larriking around with friends knows that the real fun's taking something barely semi-viable the you like, like Tropius, and figuring out how to make it work 7 times out of 10.
If you give yourself a particular specification for a team (a particular type; a particular tier) you're going to have a limited set of potential pokemon to work with, so then it's just personal preference that dictates the "best" team you can make from that limited set.
Personally I like randbats because all the Pokemon in it run "viable" sets that they've most commonly used in their various tiers, but then (attempts to) balance it with tiered levelling. It's good revision for what any given pokemon in any given match is likely to be packing, and eventually you learn that switching your flying/grass type in on a water type is almost always an ice beam away from suicide.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
