What's Your Battle Strategy?

Oh, yes.

Are you a startegic thinker? Or do you attack the opponent with a full, head-on offense? Me, I'm somewhere in between those two. I try to be strategic, but normally just end up attacking with strong moves...

in game: i power away with strong moves. i give my pokes wide movepools so they know moves to cover a variety of types.

with friends: i tend to play smart. try to think what they'll do and use the best counter.

In game: Same as Shadow. I give my pokes a variety of moves to cover as many types as possible so I can simply run through about 20 trainers without having to recover.

With friends: I play extremely smart, running a counter-move team that will simply annoy my foe, not neccessarily guarantee a win.

Competetively: All business. Status problems then sweep.

In game: The same as any other player with common sense, a wide variety of powerful offensive moves, virtually no support or defensive moves unless they recover HP (atleast 50% per use, sunlight and moonlight being exceptions).

With non-competitive friends: The same thing, really. I'll incorporate more support moves that help the entire team, though, such as the screens or Stealth Rock.

Competitively: The strategy varies with every team. I've done Sandstorm teams before, balanced teams (this was way before I joined any forum), offensive teams, etc. I'll even use Trick Room teams when the time calls. In short, I'm a jack-of-all-trades; besides defensive teams. Stall teams ftl.

In game: First time ill just get every type on my list
Fire
Water
Grass
Electric
Flying
Dragon

If i go against my friends i'll use awkward ussualy underestimated pokes
