Your battle style? Defensive, Offensive or Balanced?

[xxReshiramxx]

I prefer to go with being as balanced as possible in case something goes wrong in a battle. I feel like I can trust the back up to do something anything even if its not what I need at that moment.

If I'm just doing a plan run then offensive. If I'm doing some sort of challenge then I'm more of on the defensive side since I'm trying to figure out how I could beat certain battles.

I pretty much structure all of my teams the same way. I do 3 physical attackers 3 special attackers and make sure I have one defensive and one specially defensive wall. I don't care too much about setting hazards but will always make sure one Pokemon has rapid spin or defog.

Since you discussing team styles, I've moved your thread over to Pokémon Gaming Central.

Also, I like balanced since I feel it's the most flexible.

Usually offensive for me! I find the games easy enough that defensive or balanced isn't usually necessary... unless I'm doing a challenge run lol. Things can get so much tougher then @_@

I don't mind longer battles, so playing with Pokemon such as Umbreon or Shuckle usually doesn't bother me too much. Unless it's Gen 4, where the animation speed feels slower. I tried a defensive Bronzong in game, and it was painful.

Competitively, hyper offense. It's the style i've reached around 1700 with on showdown. Otherwise I get stuck at 1500.

My favorite playstyle is somewhere between balance and offense. I like to use a defensive backbone of 2-4 Pokemon mixed with 4-2 Wallbreakers/glasscannons.

I tend to use offensive teams with a dedicated hazard lead (more often than not it's Nihilego)

The games are waaaay too easy to warrant any kind of defensive or status-boosting moves...the only time you even need status ailments is if you're trying to capture a Legendary. Offensive all the way!
