Hey all, been a while since I posted. But lately I've spent a bunch of time on improving one of my Frontier programs: Factory Assistant. For those who don't know: the purpose of this program is to convert all opponent info, the draft, possible swaps you made, and the hints from the lab guy...

Here to report an actual streak for once, in Factory Doubles Level 50. Lost the 78th battle, more on that below. Large parts of the streak were witnessed by submenceisop and HoneyMoon on the discord server. I started logging more details about the streak in round 6. Up to and including round 7...

I believe the following information on Bulbapedia is correct, but with 'base stats' replaced by 'stats': The tournament bracket is organized as follows: Left Bracket: 1 vs 9, 13 vs 5, 8 vs 16, 12 vs 4 Right Bracket: 3 vs 11, 15 vs 7, 6 vs 14, 10 vs 2 Seedings are determined by their ranking...

The info on Bulbapedia is incorrect indeed; it actually looks at stats instead of basestats so the IV advantage really gives the player a big edge there. The other info (e.g. extra points for multiple types etc) is correct.

As requested, a short post about a strange team I've made once to prove the FRLG 0 IV glitched Suicune can still be good enough to get the Gold Symbol or decently far beyond 70. Here's the team: https://pokepast.es/2fb8aebab0ff22dc The Stantler is straight from the Xmas team, cripples in...

Thanks, don't use these spreads (without thought) if you're using CM for example -- in fact I don't think this is very useful at all, but it was an interesting project. For "real" purposes, always check things by hand and suit EV spreads to do exacty what you want them to do.

Posting some results of a very simple program I wrote about EV'ing for overall mixed bulk here. We know the drill -- you're looking for EV's to be as bulky as possible on both the physical side and the special side of the spectrum for a mixed wall like Umbreon, Snorlax or Registeel. Let's...

Wonderful post and you explained very well the thought process of the last two weeks. Just making this extra post to second/emphasize the enormous amount of brainstorming and trouble you went through, totally understand the disappointment. Milotic was a huge finding and 148 is nothing to...

Doing another post on the Arena as well. It's about the Open Level modification of my classic "GOD SPEED" Lax / Latios / Medicham team, and after much testing and brainstorming (mainly with my Arena comrade submenceisop ), I concluded it's still the best setup for Arena even with Tyranitar and...

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Since I've been spending a lot of time on Dome Assistant the last weeks, I figured I'd share my 2021 Christmas wishes to you all by sharing the Dome Christmas team I've been using and optimizing along the way: Of course, it functions all the better with the new predictions...

This post is to summarize the immense work that has been done to improve Dome Assistant in the last couple of weeks. For clarity, I'll describe what Dome Assistant does and how the newest version, Dome Assistant 2.0, improves the older versions. The program first uses the trainer card info and...

I'm writing a book about Tower that plans to include all archetypes, example (record) teams, et cetera. This might be a good backbone if we decide to make a video. PM me if you want extra info. The project hasn't advanced far yet, but I'm working on it occasionally.

This is the best post I've read in a very long time. It's very challenging to maintain creativity in ADV Frontier; nearly everything has been done and even with restriction (e.g. the Mono Teams) we're running out of unique strategies. Yet you did it again; this looks extremely nice. Main concern...

As always, a well thought out challenge. I won't partake in this one, although I would gladly help anyone with some brainstorm sessions!

Some time ago, I made another Python script to calculate the relative frequencies of all Pokemon in Battle Frontier. This is a problem more interesting than it seems, because of the following: Species Clause; Item Clause; Same trainers never appearing in the same streak. While it would be an...

Doing a writeup on an Open Level Arena Team submenceisop and I made, utilizing Tyranitar. Starting out with the "J. W. Hardin Salac Tyranitar" from the Gligar team that left good impressions, we went through an amazingly long sequence of coming up with ideas, testing, failing and repeating...

I built a new team for Open Level, utilizing a strategy I always thought of as being way too gimmicky. It turns out that after fabricating some funky, one-time-use novelty EV-spreads and having the right team members, the strategy is way more flexible than I expected. The Open Level team I will...

Long time no post, but I've got an interesting and surprisingly simple team to share for anyone interested in getting high streaks with extremely good probability without too much understanding of the Frontier and technical maneuvering in-battle. The team was based on my analysis of cancerKou...

But this is the DT + BP set, not the crippler Twave + Flash set ;) Nice post, nice team; this is a great example of how Evasion Zapdos should be used, and Hypno lead is fascinating! We already had lots of discussion about the possible leads, so I'll leave it at this :) EDIT: just realized you...

It can do stuff like this too! https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/gen-iii-battle-frontier-discussion-and-records.3648697/post-8718359
