Normally at the battle tower I just make my dragonite spam dragon dance and then outrage/fire punch everybody to death. And if that fails (which it often does(stupid blizzard nidoqueen -_-)) then, well shoot I already lost! D:

It really depends on what style of gameplay you play.

Using an offensive team, you'd want to end a game as quickly as possible. Whereas using stall, you'd want to drag out the battle and defeat your opponent with mostly residual damage.

Yeah.

I mean me, with my Dragons, i usually have a team of:

BulkyDDNite
MixMence
[email protected]
Latios

So, DDNite is a slowy opener, and if for some reason he actually faints (Ice Shard Weaviles), then my Scarfed MixZard revenge-kills whatever is possible, then the others take care of whatever's left.

Coming soon is an AWESOME SHINY GYARADOS!!!

That's a really good question...

I usually just take out whatever I need to take out easily (especially when battling Elite Four, etc.), like, with my Power-Belt-wielding MewTwo with his almost-always super effective attack-movepool >:D

But I actually enjoy tactics in battles more, like, when you're trying to catch a Pokemon (which I can't do in Diamond anymore, as I catched all the catchable =\)...

So... Idk, I'll pick slow...

Usually I go the "quick and clean" route, but on bigger threats/when I want to feel like I'm toying with an AI-team slowly... I'll whip out a good ol' Hypnosis/Dream Eater (or Nightmare) combonation.

I tend to finish them off as quick as I can, but if they're a gym battle or something along that line, I try to add some challenge and make it a more slow battle.

I prefer quickly. When a battle drags on forever I get really bored. Especially when status conditions get mixed in.

I take them down quickly, so they have less chance to attack me :D
I agree ^_^ Plus, it also shows how strong my pokemon fare against wild or trained pokemon.

i like quick battle but when encountering blissey, umbreon or ludicolo, they beat me using slow death (toxic, double team, softboil, leech seed,...) so i change to slow battle, they beat me again using critical hits

I prefer quick battling strategies, especially since this is the 4th generation. It's already slow enough...

Honestly, I'm more of a slow battler. I'm the person who starts with an umbreon, spams curse for like 5 turns, then uses baton pass. Usually put in a swampert or a dragonite and destroy. <3 +1 for slow.

(Slow's better anyways, if you get my drift).

I'm a fast battler. Recently in competitive battling, I use a Ninjask with Swords Dance and Protect. When I've SD'd enough and Speed Boosted enough, I Baton Pass into a Salamence and attempt to wipe the opponent. It hasn't worked as well as I hoped, though...

I like to play with Balanced teams, which means sometimes battles ends quickly, and sometimes they do not. However, I do prefer slower battles, with lots of Spiking and Shuffling.

I go at it quickly. The faster the battle, the better. I hardly ever keep anything but attack moves later on XD; I find most of them pointless, when I can just attack and win. Unless the non attack move is awesome, when an attack move comes along, it is out the door.

I never had the patience for a slow battle against the in-game trainers.
Although in a human vs human battle I would definitely use walls, substitutes, shufflers, etc
