As a general rule, when we're talking about "every Pokemon", we're talking about Pokemon with standard TM access and a fairly normal movepool, i.e., not Magikarp or Caterpie. This may be a little...

+1 = x1.5
+2 = x2.0
+3 = x2.5

Every boost is worth an additional x0.5. +4 is x3.

Not a problem. On the turn TTar switches in, you sub. Next turn, you Torment, they Pursuit, breaking your sub. Then you can switch out freely because TTar can't Pursuit next turn due to Torment.
