What's the difference between Bulky Offense, Hyper Offense and Balance teams?

Aug. 28, 2020

Just out of curiosity. I know what Balance is but knowing the difference between these three types of teams would be nice since I never really fully understood them.

I’ll give this a go. I won’t be super elaborate, asthis answer by Fizz(that Jhnfui linked in the comments) covers a good chunk in detail. And, for what it’s worth, the folks over at Smogon have been doing this a long time, so they’re also excellent people to ask.

But for a basic breakdown, I’ll try to explain this the way I understand it. The major differences boils down to the stat spread and EV spread of the Pokemon forming the team cores.

Bulky Offense:

Hyper Offense:

Balanced:

This is my interpretation of the play styles. Any mistakes I’ve made in ignorance I’ll be happy to edit in if you comment down below. Thanks!
