The EU servers are in Montreal, Canada. That means people form EU are at around 6000 km from the server location.
I am living in Japan, 11000 km from the EU servers (I am playing on these servers cause friends are there too). My ping is 300 ms. I defeated all the EX and I am now training on T8 (ScoB are not finished because I am not in a static, doing everything in PF).
Conclusion: ping to server do not explain everything. If you cannot dodge, it could be because of your ISP. I agree it would be better to have a 10 ms ping, that's right, but the game is still feasible, even with a big ping response.
