    Default What's your favorite style of play?

    When playing on Showdown/PO, what's your favorite style of play? Balanced, hyperoffensive, stall or Baton Pass?
    <---- Ubers suck

    First post yay!

    Anyways, I have favorite playstyles for every tier.

    OU: Balanced. In this freaking complex place, Balanced for me is super easy and very fun to use. 'Nuff said.
    Ubers: By far my favorite tier. Hyper Offense if probably my favorite playstyle here, as there are so many pokemon with so much wallbreaking potential. (Latios, Reshiram, Kyogre, etc.) The sheer damage output is amazing and who doesnt like smashing Arceus' around?
    RU: Ummm I would say Semi-Stall. There aren't many hard hitters in RU besides that CB Entei, so semi-stall teams can be used quite successfully, and the "semi" part of the team can be used to put offensive pressure on the opponent if need be.

    Though it is hardly the style with which I am most successful, my favorite playstyle, at least in the Übers tier, is SmashPass.

    Hm...I prefer to play balanced, but leaning toward more offensive. Good for maintaing major offensive pressure, but still taking hits.
    Take a moment to consider just how nothing nothing really is....If you understand this, then you just solved the universe.

    The truth that each person...each soul...is a book. And when we lay our feelings out in the open...and we give them no name...and we give them no author....and we give them no description.....who will actually read them..........?"

    I like balance because I feel it matches up decently against other playstyles. Also it is easier to have less weaknesses when you have scarfers to remove threats and defensive pokemon to wall them.

    My favorite playstyle is sand offense. TTar is just too good. Rain stall is somewhere up there too.

    I haven't played in a while, but when I did play I loved bulky offense; using Pokemon to sponge up hits and retaliate hard was really fun

    Usually I play offense, but with a defensive part in the team, a sole wall to take the powerful blows. One team though is pure offense, so every 2 turns a poke on either side is beaten :3 Stall is something I simply can't, but a well built and played stall team I also can't defeat.

    I enjoy using gimmicky teams, such as Gravity + TR (side note, TR Specs Gyara did really well on that team).
    We're nothing more than concreteness victims trapped into our limits
    Blind beliefs that lead us: "Trust in what we can perceive with senses".
    Thousands minds that reflect our tendency to flatten layers of knowledge,
    demonstrating that we're just wasting our time.
    Look above us, sky is just a fragment and shows us how we're nothing more than ants.
    Human weakness is what we hide, overwhelming celebration of our fault .
    Entwined with our fears of being in your hands, we're deaf to the universe that guides us.
    How can we enhance our thin perception of every small wonder hiding behind simple shapes?

    For my playstyle, I prefer versatility.

    If you are wondering why this style, look no other than Mew and her 100 friends. Not the best in every category, but can survive many scenarios and play just about every available role

    Feli Chronicles Vitandes - Chapter 30: Veins of Flames
    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Forgotten Life - Chapter 3: Hurricane of Foreshadowing

    HO, SmashPass, and Anti-Meta in OU, HO in UU, don't do RU, and Trick Room in NU. Ubers sucks.
