    When I edit a team (or switch one) that happens to be a VGC team, I always end up back in the Uber tier which can be confusing. Currently that's the only case that seems to have some obvious flaws but if you were trying to use a team that was actually underused on the OU ladder, you might have the same problem.

    We should modify it to only change your tier if your team is now illegal for the tier, or better yet, allow you to save the tier that the team was made of in a pop-up or Server message on first load.
    "The server has selected the tier for your team as: 'Ubers'. Remember this selection?" Yes/No.
    Then in the tiers or options drop-down we could have a corresponding checkmark that would allow you to save if you wanted the server to remember or not.

    The other option is to populate the teambuilder with an area that has the servers you've connected to with the tiers that they had set up. Don't use it as a rule for anything in the teambuilder, it's just a declaration that that's the tier they're making it for. Then when it's loaded on the server, if the server determines that it is in fact illegal for that tier, it outputs the current message and bumps them to a more appropriate tier.

    This might fix why so many people don't use the VGC Find Battle.

    Well the problem is only happening because single battle / double battle is only decided when you challenge someone and VGC shares the initial available pokemon with ubers. Good suggestions though. It will also get better with a better clause system. I personally think the first suggestion is more appropriate for the time being.
