It really depends on the situation.

If I'm battling a wild Pokemon or some in-game trainers, my choice would be sleep. Other than that, I would probably have to go with poisoning (still chose sleep in the poll, though).

Attraction and Paralysis are my favorites. It's hilarious to get them paralyzed, then attracted, so two chances that they can't move. I love using that combination on both friends and in-game. I annoy many people with that because Attract is one of those moves that don't really get seen in competitive play.

Well, since paralysis is the one I hate getting nailed with the most, it's only natural that it would be my preferred ailment to use on others. The speed drop is actually the key, especially for some of my slower Pokemon. And unlike sleep, it doesn't wear off by itself in a few turns.

Poison and Paralysis are my favourites to use, as they're completely permanent (unless an antidode/Paralyz Heal are used, obviously). If I had to choose one, it'd be Poison. I use it less than Paralysis-inflicting moves, but it keeps sucking the life out of the opponent, which is very, very advantageous in the heat of battle! :D

I enjoy Infatuating because I think the move Attract looks absolutely beautiful when used in battle x'3 Also it seems to work well for me, the opponent may not be able to move for quite a lengthy sum of time. Also in Mystery Dungeon attracting completely immobilizes the foe for a long time, so it's an absolute killer in that game.

For me it was a tie with Paralyz and Sleep.... I vote sleep, for me works a bit better - and the one I use the most, when it works the opponent might not move for 2-5 times, plenty of time for me to think of a winning strategy.

Paralysis was my favorite because it was easy to inflict and a turn skipped every so often was enough to last longer not just for a battle but enough to last throughout an entire part of a game. The sad part is that you couldn't use it in caves because rock pokemon are immune to it and caves are the maps that annoy me the most.

It has to be a tie between Paralysis and Poison, because both can be a lifesaver in the heat of an intense battle. It can be either of these things that can turn the tables, of course~

I think that after Whitney I overused Attract waaay too much. But it worked, so I don't really care. :P Its not like I battled competitively.
I'm a silhouette, asking every now and then
Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?
