My favorite style is Double Battles. It's especially fun doing co-op in the Battle Subway, I found. My brother and I spent a summer doing that in the first Black and White. I also really like Rotation Battles. You can really rack up the BP quickly doing Rotations in the PWT (I believe it depends on how many of your pokémon survived over the course of the tournament).

I'm mostly a Singles specialist, although I do try other types of battles too.

If I'm doing Doubles and I have an Earthquake user, I basically send out a Flying-type or a Levitate carrier so they can't get hit. Simple as that. Doubles can be fun when played correctly, same with Triples.

I do enjoy the Rotations as well, since you never know who they'll switch into.

By order of preference, I say: Singles > Rotations > Doubles > Triples.

I like single and doubles equally. I didn't get to do an online 3v3 battle yet, so I can't comment on that one.

single, double, and rotation. really depends on what big idea i have at the moment, like a regenerating u turn fake out user, a wobbuffet and latios with heal pulse, garchomp and tyranitar setting up substitute and swords dance, those triple battles are just confusing though.

I prefer Doubles or Triples. I play mostly triples now, but in DP I only ever played doubles, and I kinda miss them! Singles are a bit ehh for me, I dunno, I just don't find them to be as much fun as my other options. Rotation battles are super-fun, though! I want to play more of them after getting a real taste of them in the Winter Friendly the other day.

I don't mind battling singles. I prefer the triple battles it forces me think of a battling strategy that will be effective on defeating my opponents but at the same time not to take my own team out.

I also enjoyed the rotational battles those are fun

Singles and doubles for me. Never really got into the rotation / three way battling. If it came down to either single or double, I'd pick double. Makes you think a lot more about type match ups and such - but not overkilling it, like tripple. -.-
