Thanks for all your inputs. Sadly, I won't be doing anymore attempts anytime soon since break is now over. With university in session I just don't have the time to make attempts anymore. I'm absolutely sure water monotype is possible without perfect IVs and without trading or glitching. My setup...

Thanks for the input. I still have my toxic TM so getting toxic on a whiscash if I wanted would not be difficult. Also I'm not catching non-water types at all for the time being so I wouldn't chain breed using them. I am thinking about rebreeding a swampert with an offensive focus, but I'm not...

Oi im goin crazy here, I just lost on round 47 to a Quagsire who had curse. Curse users are driving nuts especially the ones that 252 special defense EVs. This particular loss was particularly frustrating. It opened Milotic v Dugtrio and I knew if I swapped to Gyarados I wouldn't risk the...

Ight so I finally got time to build up a tentacruel and made another water types only battle tower attempt, this one was a bit shorter at only ~30 or so, but it ended mostly because I misplayed pretty hard, the team was solid enough to probably make it into the 50s if I had been playing better...

So for the tentacruel I'm thinking I'm gonna run Ice Beam/Surf/Rest/Mirror Coat. Sludge bomb actually only works on Ludicolo out of the three grass types that commonly cause me issues, whereas Ice Beam works on all grass types except ludicolo who mirror coat can safely kill since there's never...

Yeah I figured most those ideas (crippler lead, quagsire) weren't gonna be any good. But I do think it's worth thinking about Tentacruel a bit more. Right now grass pokemon are giving me the hardest time. Eletric types are no issue with swampert around getting free switch ins on them, but...

Thanks a ton of your input! Yeah I kinda figured Tentacruel wasn't great. He also dies to Lati's due to psychic weakness. I just liked him because he matches up better against venusaur and grass types in general, but overall he'll be a liability in more intense fights so if I was making a swap...

So I could use some feedback and recommendations regarding my team and my methods. So first off, I've posted here before a few times asking about this as well, but I'm doing a water types only challenge. I can't trade since I only have one DS and no other games, so I can't use pokemon like...

Thanks for the detailed response! This is exactly the kind of run down I was hoping for! Thanks so much!

So I wanna ask a few questions about what the frontier brains AIs are like, lets take Anabel Gold for example. How does she use her status moves (Calm Mind, Curse), does she just always instantly start setting them up, or what's her choice making process for when she uses them? I've seen some...

Thank you so much. I was actually considering a more defensive gyarados that could setup dragon dance. So basically I'd use the same team I have planned right now gyarados, starmie, swampert but with some major overhauls. Set swampert up with resto berry and swap some moves around (ice beam...

So right now I’m trying to beat all of Pokémon emerald with only water type pokemon and I’d love that to include getting the gold prints at the battle frontier. However I’m pretty new to battle facilities, never done them before at all, so my knowledge on how to approach team building for this...
