my battle stragey when using my is to use double team to the max then use rest to gain hp then attack with focus punch

Wall/Annoyer with my First so that I can just wear down the Opponent as much as possible.

*Trumpet fanfare* Charge!!!! I usualy just make an all out attack. Status effects just slow you down. Choice band is your friend. But don't worry, I know the worth of stratagy. So I have breakers to most common ones.

Two words:
Special Sweepers.
Another strategy:(also two words)
tank.

-Gardevoir~

All out attack with sweepers, because all my favorites happen to be best as sweepers.

On NB, I lead with Boah, switchwhore with Regice and Skarmory, and use Starmie/DDMence/SubPunching Ampharos as needed.

And I also have a one word, many puncuation way.

KILL!!!!!!!<True, but sarcastic in a way

-Gardevoir~

Sweep. 'nuff said.

PS: I'm pretty sure there was another topic like this. But it has disappeared into the oblivion known as second page.

I just use powerful attacks to beat my opponent.

I like to play mind games with my opponet. After the games I pull out an assault with powerfull moves mostly Earthquake (since most of my rock types have learned EQ).

If I am in trouble I throw out a Normal type pokemon or form some type of wall.


This this pokemon out.

Lv100 @leftovers
Nature: Defensive
- Thunderbolt
- Light Screen
- Toxic
- Sub/Protect.

pretty much all out attacking is my stradegy

i use a fast pokemon to use a powerful attack or use a high defensive pokemon to increase its power like growth then attack with a strong attack

toxic-stall, then counter everything possible in uu. bp? no prob. taunt taunt taunt. skarm? no prob. magneton. annoying raichu/jolteon? no prob. dugtrio. wear down, trap, sweep. lather, rinse, repeat.

To Win!

no really anoyers just to make people angry then i just get board and use physical sweepers to um... sweep

It depends on who I'm using...

@leftovers
Thunder
Shockwave
Quick Attack
Bite

Thunder for major damage. Shockwave for annoying evasion raisers. Quick Attack for speedy foes. Bite for the occasional Shedinja...

@leftovers
Water Spout
Ice Beam
Body Slam
Thunder

Water Spout for starting off a battle (and normaaly finishing it in the same turn). Ice Beam for Shedinjas. Body Slam for Paralyzing. Thunder for when HP is to low for Water Spout to have much affect.

@leftovers
Sky Uppercut
Blaze Kick
Overheat
Slash (Wide Slash in MD)

Sky Uppercut for flying foes. Blaze Kick for burning and its critcal hit rate. Overheat for shorter battles. And Slash, also for its critical hit rate.

The only thing as fast as jolteon is aerodactyl, and you are not really killing him with a quick attack. Ice beam for shedinja???? What a hell??? Shedinja is a Ghost/Bug.

I just power through. Maybe with a stat boost or two along the way.
Calm Mind sometimes.
Sometimes poison or burns. Etc.

I just use damaging attacks before the opponent can damage me a lot...Really simple, eh?

it depends on who i use
single battle(sometime)

needle arm
cut (it was 4 when i needed it but it was pretty good so i kept it)
leech seed
faint attack
double(sometime)

giga drain
fury cutter
solar beam
leech seed

mud shot
slam
surf
water polse

I enjoy just using whatever is best in the situation. I tend to use my (Lvl. 61) more because I am trainging all my pokemon. But if I have to, I'll use my (Dragon Claw rules!).

I am actually a fan of Physical Sweeping, as I enjoy using Choice Band and using moves that can cripple a fellow sweeper. I am not a great lover of tanks, but they sometimes appeal, whereas Toxi Trappers bore me. I like to be in on the action when battling, not stalling.

Agreed, Obsidian.

I'm pretty much an all offensive battler, but I still use stat improving moves like Calm Mind (of course). But yeah, short and sweet, that's what I like. I seem to favor attack/special attack over defense... And in the Final Fantasy games. I'd much rather have my knight carrying two swords than a sword and a shield.

Reckless? Probably.
Stupid? To a degree.

But I have more fun this way.

For most of the game, I rely on brute force. Tactics are too much hassle to use when you're fighting an opponent that *used Thunder Wave on Geodude!*

When you reach the Elite Four, then strategy could be useful... except that in the one move you spent on Swords Dance, your opponent paralyzed/poisoned/pwned you. Sometimes, and only sometimes, status effects can be useful in a longer battle.

Of course, the Frontier Brains are a whole different kettle of fish...

Edit: JJ, I assume that you've played FF Dawn of Souls, right? That's the only FF I've heard of where you can equip two swords or shields.
