Stat Moves 2.0

I read the post I made and Im sure it confused people.

Which Stat moves are you likely to use during your "for keeps" battles.

Stat-raising. Though, I'd probably be better off trying to lower stats for the sake of my other Pokemon. xD I don't find myself using moves like Reflect or Lightscreen often.

I'm more likely to use stat-raising moves like Swords Dance, Agility, etc. because using stat-lowering moves on the opponent isn't very reliable, since the opponent can switch to erase the lowered stat change.

Stat-raising. I feel like my Pokemon's gonna be around longer anyways so I'll raise one of the attacking stats and just sweep everyone.

Stat-Raising. I don't find myself with Stat-lowering moves very often if at all except in the beginning of the game when my Pokemon knows 'Tail Whip' or 'Growl' or something along those lines.

Stat-raising. Swords dance x2 then sweep the whole team.

I guess for offensive increasing attack like Coil, Swords Dance, Nasty Plot, Quiver Dance, Dragon Dance etc.

I don't usually keep any defensive increasing attack. The only close I get to are Light Screen and Reflect.

As for defensive lowering stats. Metal Sound and Screech are the only attacks I would let my Pokemon keep. I know they have bad acc, but still...I keep'em.

I don't really keep a lot of stat-altering moves, except for Quiver Dance on Volcarona etc..which I don't use often though. I prefer going all out on powerful and accurate sweeping attacking moves that.
