Status Moves

[WingedDragon]

When its all said and done and you are raising your "for keeps" team. Are you more likely to use Status boasting moves or status reducing moves? Do you use them at all? Thoughts? Contemplating Using more status moves for other pokemon. Would like ideas.

I don't see why someone wouldn't use stat-boosting moves. Swords Dance, Nasty Plot, Bulk Up, Calm Mind, Curse, Hone Claws, Dragon Dance.. All moves that can shift the tide of a battle with just one use (...maybe). I always use them, but really only where I can see myself having trouble with my opponent. I know my Pokemons' stats; if they need the boost, they get it. If they don't.. they'll probably get it for jollies.

Oh you mean Stat boosting and Stat Reducing. XD

Depends on the Pokemon. Volcarona and Lilligant NEED Quiver Dance so if raising either of them, yes you keep the stat boost. Swords Dance, Hone Claw, and Shell Smash are usually some you keep on the Pokemon that learn them.

Belly Drum is used pretty well as well.

Stat Reducers, I usually use Damaging attacks that double. They may be weaker, but the stat reduction usually evens out. Really like Snarl and Bulldoze.
