Momentum in Pokémon
My prefered style of play is always keeping the momentum going in battles by being able to easily bring pokes in and out. Volt-Turn cores are a thing, but I like to go with full out pivot teams. Teams where all of the pokemon have one of the moves U-Turn, Volt-Switch, or Baton Pass. To make things easier you can find all of the pokemon with these moves in 5th gen NU here. Also there aren't pokemon like zubat that are obviously not viable.
