Tactics?

Atavan-Halen

What are your tactics when Pokébattling? Do you tend to use attacks like growl and leer and get their stats down or just go all out offensive? I'm an all out offensive person. Never bothered with stats

Same here, I just play the type game. Take them out with one shot of their weakest type!

Usually do this but if I have a pokemon that knows sleep powder/hypnosis then I'll use it but that's really the only effect I use.

Yeah, I'll use sleep or poison powder and stuff aswell, depending on the situation

90% of the time I can knock them out with one attack but If I can't I usually use moves that higher my own stats.

Ominous wind is a great attack.
It's a ghost move that with 60 power and some times it also sharply raises all of your stats at once.

I generally tend towards offense but if I can't find a worthwhile replacement for a move that sharply boosts or lowers stats then I tend to spam it.

I have never once used an attack to lower stats. In most battles I'd need only one attack at most 2 so their kinda pointless tbh. Maybe sleep/poison etc but apart from them no.

I'm a compedititve battler so it's usually pack a special and physical sweeper and a tank and pray for the match to work out like so:
YouTube - Ubers get to play with FIRE!

However sometimes I like to just have a laugh:
Udders of Doom!!!!!!

Failing that, the Ubers come out for some light entertainment:

It's generally an all out-offense from me.

Out of my entire team in my Japanese Platinum, there are only four moves from the twenty-four that aren't an offensive attack:
- Swords Dance and Nasty Plot, for massive stat increases
- Swagger, for confusion
- Metal Sound, for sharp special defense reduction so that the remaining special-based attacks hit hard!
