Autoselector on Entei is the WORST yet

I have 6 Vaperons between 3050-2950 all level 37-38.5

I have yet to see them autoselected. I'm even getting a 1900ish Kabtops, And a whole bunch of level 30 Trexes and other things over them.

Probably because Kabutops is 0.51x resistant to fire and offers more DPS than 0.714x Vaporeon. Similar with Omastar. In a group, Entei may die before you use three of them.

Kabutops does not do more DPS than Vaporeon. It's attack is higher but it's moves are inferior.

Water Gun already does more DPS in a neutral setting than Mud Shot and on top of that, has STAB, which outweighs the slightly higher energy gain, and combined with Hydro Pump results in more cycle DPS than Stone Edge, which is a poor move in extended battles because of it's low damage per energy.

Fury Cutter builds more energy but is also not very effective, plus is legacy. Even if you were lucky enough to have 6 FC Kabutops they'd still be worse than Vaporeon unfortunately.

It's also not more survivable despite it's extra resistance. Omastar is comparable in survivability to Vaporeon but it has higher defence and stamina than Kabutops.

Even with Omanstar\s higher Modifier and slightly higher defense.

The fact that my Vaperon is level 38.5 and my Omastar is 30, makes my Vapereon more survivable.

Basically if you times Omastar hps by 1.4 for its extra resistance it still has less hps than Vapereon. By enough that its slightly higher defense isn't going to compensate for.

Yeah, it selected a weird range of Golems (not even all my highest level Golems), a Rhydon or two, and a 1900 Omastar. I have several Vaporeons, a Stone Edge Tyranitar, and several other Rhydons and Golems at much higher levels than all the stuff it did select.

The autoselection for Raikou was great. It selected pretty much all the pokemon that I could have wanted, and I just changed the order of a few of them to put all the Earthquakes before the Stone Edges.

Agree I have a 91% Vape over 3k 15 atk state and the game wouldn't select it it chose my Omnystar 1834cp with mudshot 85% over my Vape....

I've been fortunate enough to catch a couple wild dragonites the blast couple of weeks. High level, low stat, but I haven't dumped them yet. The stupid lineup select is finally giving e dragons in my preselected teams. Why they choose the ones fresh out of the wild instead of the two I maxed with about 2,000 victories I may never know.

Simple answer is kabutops and omastar are rock/water which double resists fire. Easy as that

It\s not just the Kabutops that is being stupid.

It's picking things like Level 30 Golem with 10% health over a fully healed Level 38 vaperons

Golem w rock throw stone edge is the best bet for this guy even over a 3k vape I go with 3 2500 golem and then 3 vape , but they never even get to see entei; p

I have no idea why the auto select chooses Dragonites with Hurricane over Outrage when neither have type advantage or disadvantage. Both are 110 power, but Outrage can use it twice.

Probably the same reason it always selects my Close Combat Machamp for battle, even though I have two others with higher IVs and CP, including a 100% one, with Dynamic Punch. It drives me nuts. I also have two B/C Ttars, and it chooses the lower IV/CP one Every. Single. Time. Give us the option to save battle teams, already!
