Doom doesn't know **** about Pokémon

A little piece of advice, unless you're planning on becoming a Poketard who counts EV's and spends hundreds of hours breeding and hatching Pokemon to make sure they get the perfect stats and egg-learned moves, just forget about any kind of deep strategy. At all. Buffs and debuffs have so few actual in-game applications in all but the most dire situations. In most cases, you're going to wipe out the strongest Pokemon you face in a hit or two if you're using the right Pokemon. Buffs and debuffs are almost a waste of time.

The actual game of Pokemon requires almost no strategy at all if you level different Pokemon types well enough. Learn the elements and their strengths and weaknesses and you'll have all the knowledge you need to be successful in the game.

If you're going to try and be competitive in actual human opponent battles at anything besides a basic level, well...you need to turn in your "life" card and quit your job.
