::C) '''Covering Weaknesses'''- Many Pokémon are capable of learning moves that can trump one, if not more, types that they would normally be weak to. Water-types, for example, can usually learn Ice attacks to give them an advantage over Grass-type Pokémon.

:::Obviously, the more types a Pokémon is weak to, the harder this gets; Pokémon with only one weakness (or, in the case of Sableye and Spiritomb, no weaknesses) can usually get by with only 1 move to cover weaknesses, while those with multiple weaknesses may find it impossible to cover them all.

::D) '''The Pokémon Using It'''- This is mainly about giving the right attacks to the right Pokémon. Typically, it's better to focus primarily on only Attack or Sp. Attack

Attack (preferably whichever is higher) rather than giving them a mix. Avoid giving a move to a Pokémon that can't use it effectively (i.e, don't teach moves that rely on the Attack stat to a Chansey).
::E) '''Battle Style'''- How you like to battle also affects what moves you take.

:::''Baton Passer''- Those who prefer to use stat-raising moves before using Baton Pass would do well with having several stat-raising moves on the one who is going to use Baton Pass (Ninjask is particularly good, since you'll be able to increase both Speed and the stat of your choice in a single turn). Moves that raise stats by two levels are particularly useful.
