As a result of Paul's selective [[Party|team]] creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. As shown many times throughout the series, Paul regularly rotates the Pokémon in his roster based on his knowledge of the opponents he prepares to battle. This can be most prominently seen in his [[Full Battle]] with Ash at [[Lake Acuity]], where he prepares many specific moves and strategies for Ash's [[Sinnoh]] party based on all of their previous encounters.

Paul is a highly skilled battler, able to observe the battling styles of others and incorporate them into his own. This was shown in his [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] battle with Ash, where he adopted several of Ash's unorthodox strategies and quickly used them to his advantage. It was shown again in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', where Paul was able to imitate the battling styles of {{an|Lance}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}} in order to prepare Ash for the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].


Whilst the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'', respectively, and Ninjask's was revealed in a flashback during ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', his team has for the most part been {{pkmn2|caught}} off-screen. Several other Pokémon in his possession were caught onscreen but later released, as they were deemed not strong enough to remain on his active roster.
