There are two types of Pivot Desyncing (so far), Smash and Roll pivot Desyncs. During a Smash Pivot You take advantage of the fact that Nanas Dash attack has less lag then Popos Forward smash.
During a roll you take advantage of the fact that Popo Is free to do anything while Nana is busy Running back to popo.

How to do it: Smash Pivot
Tap Right
quickly tap left and do a side smash at exactly the same time
Popo should do a side smash while Nana does a dash attack
Insert move here (nanas move)
you are now desynced
there is a short period of time when you are able to desync

How to do it: Roll Pivot
Tap Right
Quickly tap left and do a roll dodge
popo should have rolled and nana should be walking back towards popo
Insert Move here (Popo should do the move)
You are now desynced

Application:

On most pivots easiest desync would be Icicle
This method allows you to do the icicle chase oh so famous in melee
Have Nana do an icicle and you can chase it
On a Smash Pivot you can have Nana fire an icicle
On a Roll Pivot you have to fire 1 Popo before you can fire a Nana Icicle then you can chase it

When you do the pivot side smash you can also c-stick and hold Z to cause Popo to charge a smash and Nana to do a turn-around running grab

When smash pivoting if you tap right then left+a and hold a you can actually charge the smash while doing so have Nana do any move

I'm not seeing how rolling benefits you at all... because you get to input any move for Popo anyways. Just a heads up, you can pivot into any move (other than belay or squall hammer, I believe). Ice Shot and Blizzard are particularly useful because Nana will not do anything, and you can easily follow up. You can also pivot into jab, any other smash, any tilt, etc.
