Terminology for Battling

[~Swish~]

Ok now I've completed the game I'm going to be focusing all my Poke time on competitive battling once I've learn't more about strategies and stuff. I see many of you using teminology for your Pokemon in battles such as 'Sweeper' or 'Wall' etc.

Could you help me out and list all the different terminology that you use and what they all mean? Preferably all the different possible ones. For example - I guess that a 'Wall' is a Pokemon with a high defense? I could be wrong but, you get what I'm asking.

Thanks guys :)

Phazer and Psuedo Hazer are the same thing, in fact Phazer is the shorthand of Psuedo Hazer

Tank: A Pokemon that can absorb damage, and dish it out as well, that is high in both Attack and Defence (Rhyperior for instance)

Ah, so that makes Swampy my tank! Thanks.

^no thats a sponge.

Physical Sponge - A pokemon that has a good defense but bad Special defense.

Wall - most likely a pokemon that absorbs attacks in special AND physical (e.g. Probopass)
*some sponges may be called walls so use common sense.
