When i was fresh to Pokemon i thought that the next move he learned was better, then it went to all offensive. Now I cant go without apprehending my opponent in some way. Paralyze and confuse, or sleep; I must. Then boost myself.
My Leafeon in Platinum: -Leaf Blade to complement it's high attack stat, High critical hit ratio too ^,^ -Synthesis Restores HP -Sword Dance Boosts attack -Grass Whistle Puts foe to sleep(i just pray it hits) (Holding Razor Claw for a higher critical hit ratio) |

It depended on the move, for me. I used Sand-Attack and Double Team like crazy and I loved Substitute. I also used Growth and Agility. Oh, and anything that induced status I liked.
Moves I didn't use included things that lowered opponent's abilities [and for the most part, I still don't use those] and a few stat-raisers like Meditate. And I hated Bide because it took me years to figure out how it worked. |

I'm big on attacking, not so much on the stats and defence. I don't play competitively, thankfully.
|
I mostly went offensive in Pokemon Red because it's all I needed, BUT I always made sure to have at least one high-HP Pokemon with Flash or similar and one at lv. 30 or higher with a reasonably-accurate Sleep move when it got to the point where I could access the legendary birds. It was the only combo that ever worked reliably for me at low levels.
|
I focused more on attacking, and still do for the most part. I do love me some Toxic though.
|
In game stats don't matter :x
|
I use all Offensive moves.
THe way i see it is, the more time u try lowering his stats, the more time he is lowering your health. |

At least that's how I factored my attacks back then. |
Yeah, I used to neglect stat increase/decrease moves. Now I know better, Swords Dance and Nasty Plot are ridiculously good.
|
In game i really dont carry any move that do not do damage
potions for healing and status X-items for stat increases i mean a four slot moveset is precious especially in game you need all the type coverage you can get but yeah in competitve play i am a big fan of trappers (scarfzone with hp fire= 1 shot scizor anyone?) and i use late game sweepers like crazy (cursepert and heracross) |
I know "Gary" (who always gets a girl's name in my game) just keeps using Tail Whip with Squirtle in the first battle until I knock it out with Scratch. :P
Against moron in-game trainers, you might as well just beat 'em up. |

The lesson? Never rely purely on attacking moves. Even the elemental Hyper Beams aren't good enough to take out true strategy. |

When I was younger, I always used offensive moves, with the exception of Swords Dance. I always thought SD was cool. XD
|
Haha, for sure when I was younger I didn't even give a second thought to stat boosting/ lowering moves and got rid of them the first chance I get! And... To be honest, in-game I usually still do that. It's hard for me to pass by heavy hitting moves, trying to see how fast I can defeat an opposing player/NPC. I guess I'm just more of an offensive pokemon trainer. :) I like to kick their butts... what can I say?
|
I didn't like the low-PP moves though, powerful or not. Bite and Slash were probably my faves, if they were HM's I'd have taught them to everything. :P
|
Least these moves does something. Unlike super situational moves like Fling and Natural Gift.
I always keep at least one buff move. I prefer the ones that boosts both stats though. |
When I was a kid, I found stat-increasing moves pointless xD
I remember the first time I played Pokemon Blue, it said something like "Charmander's attack fell". At the time, I assumed it meant that the opponent's attack had missed ~___~ |
I always understood what stat changing moves did for the most part, but I was still about the offensive moves. I kept sleeping/poisoning/paralyzing moves and moves that sharply modified stats though. Today I usually have one or two of those on each pokemon.
|
I was so bummed out when I first realized Thunder Wave didn't do damage. It sounds so powerful. ><
|
I would always be like powermoves only, I guess I deemed it unnecessary to have stat stuff.
|
Please don't revive threads that are over a month old...let alone one that's almost four years old. I know 2010 was awesome and all, but still! :P
