Lets settle this

Trainers who use Pokebattler, do you sort your raid team by Overall, TDO or Time To Win?

This has been asked before but mixed results are produced.

I sort by TTW, but it doesn't mean I always choose the top 6 for the team.

I always sort by time to win, but I always check the number of deaths. In legendary raids with plenty of people, you need to crank out as much DPS as possible, and TTW gives you who deals the most damage. When trying to solo tier 3 raids where fainting out is a risk (Gengar, Machamp, Alakazam, etc) you need a balance of survivability (or dodging) so you don't faint out.

TTW for challenges (duo, trio, solo simulations). Then Overall, then TDO.

So if you were a group of say 8 against a Latias, you'd sort by Overall?

Hmm, not sure what I would do in that. Let us assume 8 players are trainers level 35.

TDO is probably the more desirable metric in that case, but if you go for an all TDO team vs psychic (let us assume you rock 6 Ttar) and end up on your 4th Ttar when the fight is over, you'd probably wish you went for the overall metric to fill up your first two slots with higher DPS pokemon like dragonite.

The better your device is (for rejoin time) and your squad depth should be taken into account too. When I take on HP Kyogre in rain a tank option is dragonite, but I have 12 usable electric mons so I can quick join with the 6+6 without using revives. It is a better solution than tanking it through with 6 dragonite but not doing as much DPS (due to rain boost)

Time to win, efficient for soloing raids.

I kinda sort by weaknesses, for example 90% of latios I have faught have been D/DC. So I start with my only Dragon, Dragonite so he won't switch into a DC. Same with T-tar in Mewtwo raids, except I have two of those, but luckily FB is a little slower.

Still no definitive answer here lol...

I flick between all 3 and look for things that feature in both TTW and overall, preferrencing TTW more highly as the number of players drop.

Generally by TTW first, but Overall and TDO also give valuable data. There is no definitive answer here apart from TTW being *usually* the most important one. I practically never choose my teams based on just looking at a single PB ranking.
