Everything you need to know about etiquette:
1) Don't use Minimize or other evasion moves; Muddy Water is fine since its a shit move and Surf is not always viable. Mainly a Doubles/Triples thing.
2) Don't use Chansey + Cofagrigus. Ever.
3) Don't use Perish Song unless your opponent commits one or more of sins 1 - 3 and really fucking deserves it. Otherwise, you're an asshole by default, like Wolfe or my satanic Rotations team. But if you don't care about being an asshole then by all means use the best defense ever against cheese teams. Stockpile + Minimize + PuP Muk? Perish Song and be done with it. Minimize Guard Split Chansey + TR Cofagrigus? Perish Song, fuck that shit.
4) Don't D/C on purpose, be a real (wo)man and forfeit.
5) If you crush your foe via sheer hax on a non-gimmik team, ie 3 crit Dark Pulse in a row on Scarf Hydra, pity them, but do not grant a free/mercy turn. Crush them.
6) If your foe is 200 points lower than you, do not dismiss as a threat. Hax can always win, and you'll lose 22+ points. Slaughter them as any other foe. You might feel bad for spamming Hyper Voice against a team with 0 Fairy resists at first but it disappates as soon as you miss your Hyper Voice against a 1760 Japanese player running Brightpowder Greninja.
7) Don't be /that guy/ that sets up to +6/+6 Dragon Dances on Mega Mence in front of a Scarf Hydra locked into Earth Power as their last pokemon. Just get 1 DD max and fucking kill them.
At least that's my etiquette. lol.
Spamming Brave Bird against someone with 5+ Flying weaknesses is the honorable and godly thing to do. Its not your fault they've never heard of Mega Salamence, Talonflame, or Pidgeotto.
But hey, if you're 1800+ with a Minimize/Guard Split/Toxic/Softboiled Chansey + Cofagrigus + Perish Trap team, I'd say rock on and make the world cringe.
