Okay, well I've looked over this a little more, and here's my idea of the stages of trainer development.

Stage 1: the same standard stage you have posted.

Stage 2: the trainer begins to build standard teams, and also has a general idea of the theory behind the game (i.e. standard movesets for standard Pokemon)

Stage 3: the trainer can now independently build successful standard teams, covering for weaknesses and countering several threats. The trainer is also beginning to recognize standard predictions and how to use them.

Stage 4: the trainer builds EV spreads designed to counter specific threats, and can now predict accurately. Just by seeing a Pokemon, the trainer can recognize a standard set, its role on the team, and how to counter it.

Stage 5: This trainer is a master of both theory and team building. The trainer can map out a battle as soon as it begins - predicting their opponent's team based simply on their first Pokemon. This trainer will analyze a battle from a theoretical standpoint, deciding what they have done wrong and working independently to improve that. This trainer rarely loses.

I'll add on to this more later.

Nice, I do like it.
But there is no Stage 5. Stage 4 is when they have gained the needed skills. Thats the stage when they just continue on getting better as battlers. But I'll add what Trainers learn at what stage.

For Starking's list, I'm about 3.7 and for Ruesap, I would be about 4.1.

And SLM, stop sucking up to the better battlers. It only makes you looks n00bish.

P.S. SNL is awesome.
llol...what


Props to Forte Dante for Zaptios. To Menofuntall for Moltios and Artios. And, finally too FunkethElf for Mewdon.
