"Ho-Oh! Come out and use Fly!"
I will have previously informed all my Pokémon that whenever I refer to them as "Ho-Oh," that means I want them to use Dig the moment they come out. While my opponent and his ill-fated Pokémon are looking straight up like a couple of morons, my Dugtrio will be closing in from below.
I'd also do things like say "Go Blastoise!" while sending out Charizard in hopes my opponent would send out a Grass-type before he realizes he's been duped, and say "Go Metapod!" before sending out Machamp, just to mess with them. "Come on out, ______!"? Boring. If you're expected to shout out your Pokémon's name when you send it out, then use that assumption against your opponent, to your benefit. Psychological warfare ftw.
When I send out a large, fanged Pokémon like Mightyena against a smaller one (usually Bug-type), I have a tendency to say stuff like, "Mightyena, eat it!" The effect is better if the Pokémon actually knows Bite/Crunch.
