many people evolve their pokemon and just use a powerful attack to win, i find that too comom and very boring, so i use a tactic to win, which make pokemon more fun, you can say your tactics here, your tactics will not be told to other ppl who battle you, garanted. In fact, ill tell you my tactic with my Zigzagoon. Moves: Covet/Rest/Belly Drum/Headbut.Equip=Chesto berry.

1st, I use Belly drum to maximise my zigzagoons attack and half my Hp, no worrys though, my defence is fine.2nd i use rest, refill my Hp and the chesto berry takes efect, awakening my zigzazgoon from his sleep. 3rd, i use Covet, does a lot of dammage, probably half, and takes the foes held item.(if he has one) Finally 4th, i use Headbut to dammage the enemy with great intensity and may cause flinching.


I will never be intimidated, NEVER!

My team is well-varied and I pull out a Pokemon that can do super-effective moves against it, then just fry them with standard attacks. Against tougher adversaries, I use Sunny Day then spam Solar Beam. :p

Sunny day and soler beam make a great combanation, plus if you are double battling, get a fire type and use fire attacks on any pokemon. (Except uneffective ones)
But using super effective hits battle after battle gets boring dont you think? Still, I like the sunny day thing, i seen something like that on pokemon XD game battling Miror B he uses Rain dance then Hydro pump plus puting his ability to action.

Earthquake everything, if it is Flying, it gets Ice Beamed, if it's Water/Flying, then Return.

So I love to exploit weaknesses and if that fails, rely on Return/Surf.
 
in doble battle i use a tank and a and a pokemon that have good attack use fallow me with theteank them use focus punch with the other one.single battle subtitute them focus punch.
 
My tactics? Simple. Disrupt the opposition first, while damaging them steadily. And then bring out the finishers to obliterate.

Ampharos, Gardevoir, Bellossom and Blastoise focus on disrupting while causing some damage. They also can take hits well enough and wear the opponent little by little. As they faint and the foe is pretty much worn down, Pinsir and Salamence finish the leftovers...

Power of the mind
Either I plain destory the opponent with Zangoose or Camerupt or I annoy them to hec with Roselia and turn the odds in my favor with Castform.
 
I have many strategem. Most of the time I end up in double battle's so I like building a team of poke'mon all specialized in one thing. I like to be able to cover one another's weaknesses, which isn't that hard if you just put your mind to it.

Zangoose@Lum Berry:
Swords Dance
Return
Shadow Ball
Rest

Celebi@Leftovers:
Baton Pass
Swords Dance
Heal Bell
Recover

My main pokes on NetBattle. Sure, there are better pokes than Zangoose, but Zangoose is my absolute fave. Strategy?
Swords Dance up, start returning at low health. Shadow Ball Psychics/Ghosts/ other things weak to it. Rest when I'm at low health.

Switch to Celebi, Heal Bell, Swords Dance, Recover, Swords Dance, Recover, Baton Pass to Zangoose.

Unfortunately, Zangoose gets screwed by most things faster than it, especially Zapdos. It'll always beat Jolteon one on one though.

I have a really annoying Ludicolo stratagy:

Give it lots of HP EV's, make it hold Leftovers, teach it Leech Seed, make sure it has the Rain Dish ability, and give it Rain Dance.

Every turn goes something like this:

Foe's health was sapped by Leech Seed!
Ludicolo's Rain Dish recovered HP!
Ludicolo's Leftovers restored its HP a little!

Quite fun to use ^_^

ok i wont next time, just rating tactic replies.
but anyway, your Mawille stratagy is good, however, you might need diffrent types of pokemon if your going to use Baton pass besides Tentacruel and Sandslash

Duplighost, Baton Pass allows you to switch pokemon while retaining all stat changes. So if I use swords dance with Celebi, and then baton pass to metagross, metagross gets the attack boost of swords dance. And his Zangoose had a lum berry, which is better than a chesto berry, it heals ANY status affliction.

And one reason people evolve their pokemon is... well have you ever pitted your Zigzagoon against a fully evolved pokemon of the same level? It can be OHKOed by almost any stabbed attack.

My tactic? Well for battle frontier I lead off with Gardevoir, and use hypnosis. Then I calm mind as much as I can and hit them with a psychic. I always have a Blissey to switch in, and a Metagross to back me up.
