What battle style do you use?

[Zekurom]

There are two battle styles: Shift and Set. According to the new Bulbapedia article for it:

• Shift allows you to switch in Pokemon when the opponent switches due to fainting.
• Set does not allow this.

Which one do you use, and why?

 

[Zwampert]

Both in different situations.
Shift if I fight random people and Set if its a Rival or Champ battle so their next pokemon will suprise me.

Set usually since its faster, less buttons to press, and is more like a real battle and gets you used to thinking that way. I avoid items in battle as well for the same reason (with the rare exception of an X-Accuracy - stupid evasion uppers).

 

[Magmortar123]

I use set in hopes that if I eventually get wi-fi, I can be used to having to switch when a pokemon uses its move. That and I like a good challenge.

 

[PlatinumDude]

I use Shift, so that I can give all my Pokemon opportunities to battle.

 

[Ivysaur]

Definitely "set". It provides more of a challenge, and battles go faster that way.

 

[JohtoMotto]

I like Shift it gives you the opportunity to see whats coming up so you best prepare for that situation

 

[Xovvo]

Shift. Set is suicide.

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

I did not know much about Options section until about one or two weeks before. When I heard about battle styles, I decided to go with Shift, because that is more easy.

Shift because it makes it easier to level evenly.

 

[Pwncess]

Always shift. I like to keep my Pokemon around the same levels, so it's easier to rotate out should one of my Pokemon level while in battle, then I can shift without forfeiting my turn to attack.

 

[Falconwing]

Shift. Let's not make it more complicated than it needs to be.

 

[Lurking]

Shift. It makes me feel bad, but I don't really care. I don't battle much on Wi-fi and I absolutely hate the Frontier, so Set never really applies to me.

 

[Spiffee]

Shift.

I've just never bothered to change the settings. lol

 

[Zekurom]

Shift. Let's not make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Set is actually simpler ('cause then both people battle the same way), but I never use it.

 

[Rainbow]

I just use shift. I never even knew what Shift and Set meant until about a week ago.

 

[Heiccu]

I often use shift because it's easier and simplier that way.

 

[Ghost]

I mainly use Shift because it's easier.

 

[System Error]

As I have stated to many in the past, and am about to state once more unto what are surely in this particular instance deaf ears: REAL MEN PLAY SET.

 

[Zekurom]

REAL MEN PLAY SET.

Yep, my ears are deaf enough that I didn't hear you on that one.

But real men also catch legendaries without using Ultra Balls. 'Cause they've got balls.
