I guess I'm going to have some fun with the Platinum tutors first. Like abusing Trick and Superpower to an extent. I'll then keep and improve the sets that seem to work.
My guess about the Platinum metagame is that people are too fixated with what was already good but good better (Scizor, Mence, Heatran, Zapdos) instead of looking at the new toys available for previously useless Pokémon.
