Sometimes you have to deal with the lowest power levels to reach the top.

While the Prime Cup is known as the format where only the strongest of monsters can thrive, at least in the Master Ball classes, you can also run the weakest and still get away with it. This was accomplished through a randomization, but for every Pokemon picked that wasn't in Pokemon Perfect's RBY 7U tier I changed them to a species somewhat similar to them. DVs and EVs were also randomized, and to make things not so bland I gave each Pokemon competent movesets akin to their actual competitive analyses for the tier, although I kind of improvised with ones the randomizer picked that didn't have one. The only requisite was that each team needed to have a Meowth, since every serious 7U team needs one and it's the best Pokemon in the tier.

Even with the good movesets, DVs, and EVs though, the AI clearly doesn't know the best strategies and move choices behind some of the 7U mons. :/
