    Everyone has different strategies online, wether its go for an all-out sweep, wall & stall your opponent as long as you can, or a balanced team, my friend even came up with a team that has maximum resistances and minimum weaknesses and plays towards a wide typespread moveset.

    So my question to all of you, is how do you strategise?
    Do you blast attack the foe into oblivion, try to stall them out as long as possible, or what do you do?

    I don't go for all out offense, nor do I Try to stall them out. I think I like Bulky Offense the Best, Pokémon that can hit hard but still take a Hit.
     
    I like to get pokemon on the oppseing team in a trouble state,even if its attraction.so its easier to wipe them out(Choose option 5)
     
    Poisonfusion stall is my favorite. It's not the best, but it's just so fun to use. :D
     
    what i tend to do is read up on the ablities.

    example pinser with mode braker ablity and e-quake. this allow it to hit pokemon with levitate ablity not meny see it comming

    or swift swim and suprising with a first strike on the next turn.
     
    I usually have 1 physical sweeper, 1 bulky offensive Pokemon, 2 special sweepers, 1 wall, and 1 annoyer.
    On my sweepers, I usually use the move that's effective against the Pokemon that my opponent will be likely to switch out. For example, I send out Scarfed Porygon-Z on a Gallade. My foe will probably expect me to use Tri-Attack, because of Adaptability's 2x STAB, and will switch out to a Ghost-type, such as Gengar; however, I will instead use Dark Pulse, which isn't as powerful when used against Gallade (if it doesn't switch out), but it's better than being locked into using a Normal Move on a Ghost and being forced to switch out if Gengar IS sent out.

    I just love paralysing everything fast on my opponents team and then sweep away with either one of my sweepers. To make use of the paralysis support, I also use one slow but ridiculously strong sweeper. U-Turn also works well with Para support.

    my shaymin is a leecher other than that parafusion
     
    Plan in 3-4 stages:

    *Set up dual screens and then explode. (Metagross, Bronzong)

    *Send out bulky pokemon, that can use lots of stat modifiers like calm mind or dragon dance, whilst using healing moves like slack off and roost. (Slowbro, Bulky EVs Dragonite)

    *Sweep.

    *Failing that, blast them with my choice scarf porygon-z, or go for the all rounder approach with swampert.
     
    I tend to use a balanced team in order to adapt to whatever style my opponent happens to use.
     
    i usually go with a coupla sweepers, 1 wall, 1 lead, and the rest as misc with some supportive moves.

    i always aim to have the most type coverage as possible with my offensive moves. and i try to prevent having 1 specific weakness.
    a lot of times i just grab a lead, a wall, and a bunch of other EV'd pokes that i think will work together, though they don't always work out. lol

    i also have a coupla MVPs that i like to have on my team almost all of the time x3
    i also like toxic stalling

    I like to too switch alot, using immunities and stall tactics too set-up the ideal situation too sweep.
    Currently using Shaymin and Blaziken

    I've edited out the white text color. Don't post in white text seeing as it's impossible to read on most PC skins. Thank you.
     
    The strategies I usually use is I try to scout out my enemy team first, then probably stall for a bit (usually with Weezing or Milotic), then see if I can get one my my main sweepers to use a Stat Boosting move, then take it from there trying to decimate my enemy. So basically all I do is "Wait, then Attack".
     
    I'm building a "balanced" Trick Room team at the moment. But generally, my teams usually involve stalling the opponent out; running a Stallrein set was fun for a while.
     
    I personnaly like Offense, using the lead for entry hazards, and then just try and sweep awaa switching betwen my sweeper according to what I'm facing.
     
    I use a Bait and Switch method, like if someone leads off with a Heatran or a Tyranitar, I just U-Turn out to Salamence to take the crunch or fire blast. DD up, and see how much pokemon mence can kill
