Gen III Battle Frontier Discussion and Records

[submenceisop]

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing very well. I would like to share with you a couple of winning streaks I have recently achieved in my Emerald cartridge.

Battle Dome Singles. Clear streak: 83. Open Level. Retail.

Team:
King Kong (Slaking) @ Choice Band
Level 100 Stats: 440/460/235/189/166/299
Adamant Nature
- Double-Edge
- Earthquake
- Shadow Ball
- Hyper Beam

Metallian (Metagross) @ Quick Claw
Level 100 Stats: 364/405/296/180/216/177
Adamant Nature
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Shadow Ball
- Explosion

Dominence (Salamence) @ Lum Berry
Level 100 Stats: 367/405/196/230/196/264
Adamant Nature
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Dance

Description:
A highly offensive team. Slaking is the lead, he crushes any opponent with DE or Eq/Shadow Ball if needed, then switches out against the second opponent. Hyper Beam is only used in extreme situations. My second pokemon, previously chosen, finishes the job: Salamence for fighting, bug, steel, grass and fire types, double team and fissure abusers, curse Skarmory and reversal users; or Metagross for water, ice, psychic, dragon, ghost and rock types, bulky pokemon in general like Snorlax, the Regis, etc. The spider usually explodes at the end to ensure the KO, even if it's a tie (the judge always chooses me). For Tucker rounds only, I used a Swampert instead of Metagross, as Tucker always sent his own metal spider:

Swampex (Swampert) @ Leftovers
Level 100 Stats: 404/254/303/202/215/135
Relaxed Nature
- Earthquake
- Surf
- Ice Beam
- Protect

Threats:
OHKO users with the fricking Quick Claw. Also opposing Metagross, Armaldo, some Tyranitars, and anyone who isn't OHKOd by Slaking could become a threat if not handled correctly. Protect, Fake Out and Bright Powder also ruin Slaking's hit and run strategy.

Loss:
The opponent was PKMN Breeder Tess. Slaking's Double-Edge missed against Walrein 4 (thanks to her Bright Powder), and then the fattest walrus ever landed a critical hit on me. During the loafing turn I had to switch out Slaking, who would die if he took another hit, so I had to let Salamence eat an Ice Beam, which OHKOd him. Slaking entered again and pulverized Walrein with Hyper Beam, hoping for the next opponent to make a stupid decision during the recharge turn, but the PKMN Breeder sent Blaziken and finish my streak with a wicked Rock Slide. I didn't choose Metagross fearing the hen's fire moves and the reversal set, but maybe it was a better option than Salamence. You can see the Battle Video here:

Battle Arena. KOs in a row: 114. Open Level. Retail.

Team:
Panzer (Snorlax) @ Lum Berry
Level 100 Stats: 524/281/229/134/256/97
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Shadow Ball
- Yawn
- Rest

Latios @ Cheri Berry
Level 100 Stats: 303/189/190/394/250/310
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind

Darude (Tyranitar) @ Liechi Berry
Level 100 Stats: 382/403/256/203/235/180
Adamant Nature
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power Bug 70
- Dragon Dance

Description:
At first it was only a test, but I ended up breaking my own record with this team, so I continued playing. I consider this as a poor man version of submenceisop's team (see here), I only followed his strategy but using my own pokemon. Snorlax is Adamant, so he can hit harder, and the Yawn/Rest combination is OP in the Arena. Latios has Calm Mind instead of Substitute and is Modest, so he is slower against Starmies, etc. Darude has 180 speed to outrun every single opponent (except for Jolteon 4) after two Dragon Dances.

Loss:
Basically, an opposing Metagross woke up and chose violence: it exploded on Latios' face with its Quick Claw activated after 2 turns sleeping. Darude was ready for the comeback, but the enemy sent out Aerodactyl, who was faster than my DD tar. Here's the video of the loss:

If you want, you can see here a review of all the records achieved on my 12-year-old save file on cartridge:

Bye, and thank you all for reading!
I think I'm going to be semi-retired for a while.

First of all, congratulations! I always like seeing new Arena teams on the leaderboard. I tried out Adamant Yawn Lax and is definitely inferior to the classic Careful set. However, Snorlax is still an excellent pokemon and EQ/Shadowball coverage is something that Actaeon and I have fiddled around with. Latios is often a hax magnet with Modest and Timid is usually preferred for the extra speed jump.

Tyranitar is a pretty solid DD user and putting it in the last spot avoids awkward sandstream shenanigans. I do prefer the consistency of HP rock, but hp bug is definitely a nice coverage option for claydol and some psychics. As long as you are willing to deal with the variance of rock slide misses, it isn't a horrible option, especially once you factor in breeding.

Unsurprisingly, you lost to a Metagross. It's a tough matchup for any team and tough for this one. I would like to point out that Yawn turn 1 is the correct play, along with EQ turn 2. I am confused why you used shadow ball on turn 3, as EQ would have would have given Lax the win (Skill and Body). The rest of the battle is just unfortunate hax.

Anyways, a 114 streak is still impressive no matter how you look at it.

Congratulations again! Hope to see some other interesting teams from you.

Hello this is my record for battle frontier. I lost on purpose after the gold symbol(70th battle) and then try the battle factory. In battle factory its better to have your battle tower streak at 0 and it will be easier to get the symbol. Sorry for the flamethrower slaking but with choice band it can one shot skarmory and fortress!

 

[Churly-Puik]

I am confused why you used shadow ball on turn 3, as EQ would have would have given Lax the win (Skill and Body). The rest of the battle is just unfortunate hax.

I don't remember why the hell I chose Shadow Ball over EQ on turn 3 LOL. Now that you've mentioned it, I can't understand it in any other way than a moment of severe distraction hahaha. Maybe I wasn't paying much attention to the battle and thought that if I used EQ I would draw against Metagross, so I wanted Latios to boost his stats against the sleeping spider. Whichever way you look at it, it's still a gross mistake, because EQ was the logical solution (psyduck moment).

Hello guys, I do apologize for the delay and for taking long. If you remember my previous old post, I did mentioned that I had a problem with my hard drive which pretty much held me back from being able to update the leaderboard. I was not able to find a hard drive adapter on my country so I am pretty much going to order it online and it will take a few weeks to get mailed to my country.

However, the good news is that some of the data I needed was actually backed up on a USB drive I had and I've spent the week-ends setting up my files, saves and sheets to start updating the leaderboard again. I will start updating the leaderboard on the next week-end and will be taking a look into the streaks posted starting from my last update. Thank you all for understanding and by next week, you should hear from me again.

 

[Thomaz]

Hi guys, I still haven't actually tested out any team in a while due to too many projects lol.

However, I had an idea that you may find interesting.

What if we, and this would naturally be a separate category, allow the use of the Battle Pike move-learn glitch? I'm not talking about giving any Pokémon just any move, but give them moves that they end up learning somewhere down the line, whether that's through breeding, learnset update or tutors.

A few examples:
Typhlosion with Eruption;
Flygon with Dragon Dance;
Victreebel with Weather Ball, Leaf Blade, Knock Off;
Manectric with Flamethrower;
Quagsire with Spikes, Recover;
Salamence with Wish;
Blissey with Wish;

Etc, the list goes on to be honest. I made a list myself of things that seemed to have potential, I could post it if anyone's interested.

It would be a bit of an odd category for sure, but has some interesting applications for some of the mons. Victreebel under the Sun could essentially run Solar Beam, Weather Ball (Fire) and any HP you deem necessary. Thoughts?

Hello everyone, I thought I was done with the frontier after gathering all the golden symbols and the golden shield in the tower at 111. But I was wrong I guess. There is always something to do, its just too good of a game. Anyway, I RNG an amazing Registeel, one of the best pokémon, and I would like to try it in the battle tower.
Careful nature, ivs 31/18/31/30/31/8, hp and sp def invested. A bulky wall, an unmovable object that I was thinking of pairing with a bulky bold latias. I would like you to recommend me a moveset for this steely boy. I was thinking a toxic stalling set cause his atk is shitty but you tell me. If you want to suggest even a third pokemon for the tower with him and latias I am all ears. Latias is bold, hp and def invested with calm mind recover dragon claw and refresh. So two bulky boyz and I dont know who to put with them. I always used a super offensive team and I would like to change asset, trying to stall and tank for a change.Thanks in advance, take your time, no pressure, I will probably try the run this summer cause now I am just strategizing. Thanks a lot and cheers. Amazing forum as always by the way, very helpful. The pictures are of Registeels stats.

 

[Coeur7]

That fits. I am at 231* wins with the following Latias/Registeel stall team, all PKHeX'd: https://pokepast.es/afc40c377dbf9c91

I originally came up with the Latias Kommo-o ran (that's why his team was called Deutsche Wissenschaft, not because of Registeel), but the original inspiration is down to Jumpman and Peterko because this is simply a Trick lead without Trick. Here Latias outspeeds the crowded 162 tier (110 base neutral natures) while living +0 crit Meteor Mash from Lum Berry Metagross guaranteed (Bold Latias has to make do with a slightly worse spread). Contrary to what the paste says, Registeel is Impish (was Careful) with Def EVs because this improves the team's chances against Regirock3, which must be taken on by Struggling (thus also Curse over Iron Defense) and now deals 51 - 60% to Registeel on a +6 crit (thanks Kommo-o for making the suggestion); the speed investment reaches 81, which is enough for Lapras7/8 (barring QC). Salamence is EV'd to live Rhydon's non-crit +0 Rock Slide, and particularly also have its sub broken by this move at -6 Atk only 3/16 of the time (0/16 would require running 196 Atk, which misses the OHKO on e.g. Snorlax unless running HP Flying, which has its issues too). Rhydon is generally a threat but has failed to end the streak so far.

If this team doesn't convince you, the third team member you choose needs to be able to take on Heracross.

edit: while I'm here, my Factory Doubles streak (76) isn't listed

 

[Actaeon]

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 used Factory Assistant (from round 8 onwards it becomes slow/impractical and almost useless anyway).

It was a really lucky run in which I could have lost way earlier e.g. when I had to dodge a Rock Slide from a Dugtrio AND land a critical hit, I somehow did (first battle of round 10)

Don't have a lot of time to make a really nice writeup, but I have included the text file of my log.

 

[Kommo-o]

Hello guys, it's been a while and after catching up with some of the streaks posted on the forum I wanted to share some small updates regarding the streaks.

Holthyr I noticed that you mentioned that I deleted your Palace streak from the thread before. I wanted to let you know that I haven't and if I did, this would've been by mistake because I never saw anything suspicious on it and just wanted to let you know that I have added it on the leaderboard as well as your new submission. For the next time, if a streak goes missing again, please let me know as otherwise I do not have the ability to check the forum consistently anymore due to work.

Coeur7 I did not added your streak because as the rules of this thread state, all records require a screenshot or an in-game picture of your battle results inside the facility. If you can add a screenshot to your current submission, just let me know when it is done so I can add your Factory Doubles streak to the leaderboard.

Actaeon same as Coeur, just add an in-game screenshot of your Battle Results and I'll be happy to add your streak!

nikocsub while not obligatory, I would like to encourage users to share their experiences on what they did when they were using their team, explain the roles of their team mates as well as to share any strengths or weaknesses that the team has. If you can add a bit more of detail on your post, I'll be happy to add your streak.

submenceisop I'm going to gouge your eyes out for never reminding me to add your 199 God streak on Arena LOL

AuraRayquaza just wanted to let you know that your streaks have been added, I saw your edits and I added your streaks as a result. If there's any mistakes, please let me know.

JoebertIII I have no words to describe how ingenious and amazing your posts are and I'm always happy to see you reach new heights every day!

Congratulations to Churly-Puik and Zakelli for your new records and hope to see more from you! I do apologize it took so long but as I mentioned earlier, I had been busy with work recently. Please let me know if you notice any mistakes and I'll be happy to help.

Missing# congratulations to you for entering the leaderboard with your Factory streak! Thank you for sharing and your streak should now be visible on the leaderboard.

This rule should be overturned IMHO, as it's trivial to alter the record.

Bonus Lv. 50 Factory Singles streak of 48 wins (pretty bad, but got gold in about 20-30 hours)
https://i.imgur.com/0Vjohx4.png
I won round 5 with Jolteon2 / Walrein3 / Gardevoir2, apparently hitting Sheer Cold multiple times.

Round 6 had Swampert4 / Skarmory3 in the draft, which I took as a tremendous core by Factory standards, I swapped in Exeggutor3 against an upcoming Water specialist who led Ninetales, switched to Pert, got Fire Blasted twice (one crit), OHKO'd with EQ, and saw Tentacruel. I switched to Skarm because of Giga Drain, Cursed once, used Fly twice and died. Send Egg, it ends up at 6 HP, and last is Ludicolo. Which refuses to kill Egg with a simple Giga Drain and sets up Double Team instead. I hit Toxic and Egg recovers enough health to survive.

Later that round, I nearly get killed by Hariyama3 having swapped Egg for Dodrio (QC Rock Slide on Dodrio + crit Cross Chop on Skarm) but Swampert prevails thanks to Mirror Coating Golduck and winning against last mon Ninetales even on like 40 HP.

Gold Noland leads Snorlax, it's not Immunity so I can set up Skarm fully and beat it, Weezing comes out, it bolts me for 50%, +6 Fly does 90%... switch to Pert, it Explodes (should have gone to my lead Milotic3 tbh), last mon is Aggron which doesn't beat Milotic even with crit Thunder.

R7 draft was Mr. Mime1 / Electabuzz4 / Vileplume2 / Golem4 / Fearow4 / Clefable4, pretty bad haul. Announcer said Psychic, I picked Buzz / Golem / Clef (for Shadow Ball) and swept Flareon / Gardevoir / Medicham with just Golem (QC proc on Garde). I took Garde for Clef, then picked up a Heracross, which lost battle 7 due to missing Megahorn thrice in a row against last mon Milotic. I should have clicked Endure tbh.

Thank you Kommo-o for your work on this forum, we appreciate it very much. This community is the reason why many of us keep playing Emerald and beating our own records, sharing experiences and helping each other to improve.

By the way, could you update the Arena leader board to include my 114 win streak? Thanks again and I hope you have a great day!

SAPPHIRE SQUAD (SS)​

Hello everyone! I want to share with you my biggest accomplishment ever in the tower at lv 50. A win streak of 162. This time using an emulator.
First of all I always admired team Azure of kommo-o and wanted to try it out one day. I also love the colour blu, and guess what are my favourite pokémon? Yeah, 3 blue boys, latios, suicune and metagross. Sad story short, with my gba SP and emerald cartridge, with which I made my previous tower streak, I dont have access to a competitive suicune. The one I have I gotit from fire red years ago and it sucks. So the other day I decided to try emerald on emulator, never used before, not even for smartphone. I was using my pc for univesity and I said, yeah, I deserve it. And oh boy, I discovered an all new world of cheat codes and shenanigans. Mind you, I wanted to try the battle tower fair and square, not with max stats or impossible moves or saving before losing kind of cheats. Not like that. I wouldnt have write down here my streak otherwise. I just wanted a taste of my ideal and favourite team that I couldnt get on cartridge. So I used just the codes for getting perfect ivs and the 3 pokémon I wanted, skipping the RNG process and the cross breedings and the genetic engineering. The 3 blue pokémon that I cited earlier. Than I ev trained them myself looking at team azure as a basic inspiration and some other smogon insights. It was a fast process, not gonna lie. I would have never tried it in any other way. I got them at lv 40, teached them the right moves, that they can normally learn and then I warped to the frontier skipping all of the main story. I did it all this week end in a couple of days. Fast forward mode with the emulator is out of this world. So in a couple of hours I was ready to try the battle tower with my azure team lite version. I tried using Steelix but I just couldnt see his real potential. I would love to have liked it, but the sparks between us never flew I guess. So speaking of my azure team cheap version, cause they are all blue, get it? (I dont get why kommo-o called its team azure with his shiny pokemon of all different colors beside blu?azure?!are you daltonic man?). Anyway, my light blue team, the Sapphire Squad or SS (no pun intended) is composed of a distant cousin of the Enkidu latios of azure team, with different evs spreads and ice beam instead of dragon claw (how do you kill the grass fucker without Ice?!?). It has a different spreads in def and sp def also. Huge thing the nature. I previously ran a modest nature latios with a 200 sp atk but with timid I can outspeed more threats. (Looking at you gengar, starmie and aerodactyl). Than I forged a bulkier suicune without speedy investment, cause I am not smart enough to understand the correlation between speed and putting up substitute. Last but not least a metagross, cause for me its better than steelix. Its far greater. I know its not sturdy and immune to electro but it has a stunning atk and a larger pool of moves. Its hp and atk invested obviously. With a choice band cause its his bread and butter basically. Just 4 evs to get 91 speed and outspeed a couple of other metagross earthquakes. Maybe its a boring team cause latios and metagross are everywhere and over used by now. Well guess what? it s cause they are awesome. Thats why. Its that simple. You know whats even cooler than latios and metagross? Latios and metagross fighting side by side with a suicune. Thats the peak. Top of the chart. Pinnacle of the pyramid. There is no doubts. Any other options its a downgrade.

Latios (Zefiro)

Timid
Evs 252 Sp atk / 220 speed / 28 hp / 10 def
Lum berry
Calm mind
Psychic
Ice beam
Thunderbolt

Suicune (Crystal)

Bold
Evs 252 hp / 252 def / 6 speed
Leftovers
Calm mind
Surf
Rest
Substitute

Metagross (Azure)

Adamant
Evs 252 atk / 252 hp / 6 speed
Choice band
Meteor Mash
Earthquake
Shadow ball
Explosion


So I started my run using my dream team and I dont know if its the perfect ivs, or the sinergy, or the mesmerizing blue color or I am just in the zone, but I am breezing through the Tower. I dont have a goal in mind thats the thing. I am just enjoying myself. The record streak is a secondary thought. Without losing once I beat Annabel two times. I am also using the emulator speed frame so I am litteraly flying. Latios does most of the work, when I see a bulky curse treat I explode with metagross and for threatening beast, suicune is a game changer. I have never used substitute, but seeing this forum and all of your amazing teams I guessed it was a great strategy to use. And indeed it was. Suicune is a wall, an impenetrable tank. He is just amazing. Its tough to break it. Just electric and grass attack are dangerous but with a couple of calm mind behind a substitute he laugh to the face of everyone, while their attacks cant even scratch the top of his substitute. Trying this run just for him it was worthy. Pp stalling the enemy with the fast forward emulator speed is a piece of cake. Just spamming calm mind and when they hit struggle its done.
The strategy its basically this: Latios kill everything he can. If they let me, I will set up calm mind and they will be sorry. If the enemy can kill my latios I send out metagross, with shadow ball he clear me from psychic and ghost pokemon, with earthquake from the electro one and meteor mash pulverize the icy bastards. If its a DT spammer or just a huge threat that I cant put down in a couple of turns, than that water monster of Suicune rises from the abyss to help me. When he sets up 6 CM its a rainy god raining tsunami down its enemies. He can sweep everything and everyone, sending them to kingdom come. If the enemy has water absorb like lapras or vaporeon I await for his death by struggle from behind my substitute. If he has leftovers I change back to someone else.
I have beaten Annabel 4 times easily with just latios and calm mind. Setting up 4 CM against Raikou, than Ice beamed her latios and 2 shotted snorlax with psychic (how many time do you want to get your ass kicked dear lady?!) I destroyed my records team of 111, done in an entire summer of pain and suffering, the team was the latios bodyguards. It had a slaking as a pivot and it was an ultra offensive one.
But compared to that the cohesion of this team its just poetic. Suicune tanks the latios and metagross threats, metagross the physical ones and the explosions. Latios clean the house. Also the blue frame of their figure gives me the chills. They complete each other. Overall I had some problems with curse and DD users, like a fucking quagsire who I pp stalled just to discover that at maximum atk and def, while struggling he didnt die cause of his leftovers. Also my suicunes surf would just give him health, cause of water absorb ability. In the end I dont know how but I killed it with explosion. DD salamence and gyarados are real fucker. The first one with brightpowder, if I miss ice beam on the first turn with latios I am screwed. Gyarados is the one who put an end at my streak. My loss went like this: after killing typloshion with latios and a boosted 4 CM, I saw a crobat and I went for the psychic easy kill. I miss, cause of brightpowder and he crit me with sludgebomb. Metagross come in to smack his meteor mash but he get confused and he also miss 2 times. When he has just a couple of hp left he killed it but its too late now. Gyarados come in and it has DD. Suicune try to CM and use substitute but after a couple of boost gyarados wreaks havoc. Surfing against him its tough and he rest when he is in the lower hp half. My streak is done but I am proud. Other than that I had problems with umbreon and jolteon 4, maybe some perish song or lovely kiss jynx, but I always survived in the end. Also gardevoir is a bitch. I have to use shadowball with metagross to kill her, but she is faster and sometimes pack fire moves. Also she has destiny bond. What a pain. I also risked my streak 2 times in a row against a porygon 2. What a joke! The fourth set, boltbeam with spec. atk boost. I send out metagross cause latios die in 2 with Ice beam and cant kill him, and suicune hate electricity. Metagross miss meteor mash 3 times. Wow. Just wow. Then he die of thunderbolt. I have to use suicune and his huge bulk to save the situation with the standard calm mind and substitute. But it was a close one. The next battle, trainer number 156 I think, another porygon 2 set 4 came out. The AI saw that I risked my life back there so they want to test me again. Same pattern but this time with metagross I use earthquake cause it has more precision. With the speed frame I couldnt understand why he missed again 3 times, the test its too speedy. Again? It was impossible. Come on. So I decrease the speed frame and I read that porygon 2 has taken the ability levitate from latios. What an idiot I am! Of course it missed, it was immune. Metagross die and Suicune have to save the situation again. God bless you Suicune.
Now a quick citation of an infamous threat of the tower, the 1OK O move. Horn drill, fissure, you name it. I was always scared of them and without a sturdy ability you are kind of naked against it. Just relay on sheer luck I guess. Than I discovered that substitute is amazing even for this. Seeing suicune tanking 3 sheer colds in a row behind a substitute its a wonderful view that I recomend to anyone. It happened just once that they quick clawed me after destroying my substitute with a previous 1OK O move but I was able to win with metagross and an earthquake. (Fuck you rhydon). To conclude this dissertation about why I decided to try a run with blu pokemons, than here it is my blue team, the Sapphire Squad SS - They love the color blu if it wasnt clear and so do I

https://pokepast.es/5636f95974c4e86e

I hope to be put in the leaderboard but I am a little scared cause I dont fully know your rules and policy about emulator and cheat code. I dont think you find this ethical? Maybe the perfects ivs stats its not fair game? I thought of that but the entire tower has pokemon with perfect ivs so it should be ok. Why not everyone in here does it? Cause your better than me I think. The way I trained my pokemon could have been done without code so its just a reason of time and tools. If the way I got them is the cheat than ok, it means that the process of obtaining them its the real deal not the run per se. But I couldnt find any other way to use this team to be honest. Suicune was just out of reach. This was the only one. But I can understand that people who breed a perfect pokemon and train them or pass them over from colosseum or other games are the OG and they deserve the honor and praise. Strictly considering the frontier though I think I earned it cause you can have perfect IVs pokemon but than you have to use them right. I made a huge run in just a couple of days, but it was a serious and difficult one, fair and square with tower hax move and lucks and the usual things. I used the damage calculator and hozu s spreadsheet, the list of trainer and their possible sets. It was hard work. I sweat and I cried and I laughed and I lived every floor of it. Loving it. Cursing it. But you know if you can put me in the leader board or not. In the end I just wanted to share my experience with you to be honest, cause I did it all out of love and curiosity for this team. I started the run for fun, getting so far wasnt on my agenda. It was a surprise yes, but a welcomed one.

Anyway, after this run I will retire for a while, I used my team of latios bodyguards on cartridge with slaking metagross and latios reaching 111 tower lv and it was a fun run. Than I tried a cheap version of adede iridescence team but without the right stats and moves I couldnt get far. Also without an emulator it was boring as hell. I was thinking of using a registeel team this summer but I lost interest after more consideration. All the while I was thinking about the azure team, my mind painted blu, it became a recurrent mantra, an obsessive thought, a distant colorful mirage. In the end the real obsession was for suicune I think, so I had to try it out. To taste it first hand. With my blue team I reached the pinnacle of my pokemon trainer career. It was done with cheat code and emulator? Yeah so what? The 162 run was mine alone though. I just speed up the process of getting the pokémons. Nonetheless it was worth it, and I enjoyed it all the way to the end. Now I dont know if I will use other teams in the future cause this one will always be the real one and I dont know if I can replace it.
Just too good to be blu.
Let me know if I am eligible for the board so I can put it on my CV. Peace out and cheers everyone. And remember that blue is the warmest color.

Later that round, I nearly get killed by Hariyama3 having swapped Egg for Dodrio (QC Rock Slide on Dodrio + crit Cross Chop on Skarm) but Swampert prevails thanks to Mirror Coating Golduck and winning against last mon Ninetales even on like 40 HP.

Gold Noland leads Snorlax, it's not Immunity so I can set up Skarm fully and beat it, Weezing comes out, it bolts me for 50%, +6 Fly does 90%... switch to Pert, it Explodes (should have gone to my lead Milotic3 tbh), last mon is Aggron which doesn't beat Milotic even with crit Thunder.

R7 draft was Mr. Mime1 / Electabuzz4 / Vileplume2 / Golem4 / Fearow4 / Clefable4, pretty bad haul. Announcer said Psychic, I picked Buzz / Golem / Clef (for Shadow Ball) and swept Flareon / Gardevoir / Medicham with just Golem (QC proc on Garde). I took Garde for Clef, then picked up a Heracross, which lost battle 7 due to missing Megahorn thrice in a row against last mon Milotic. I should have clicked Endure tbh.

Thank you, both streaks have been added to the leaderboard!

Thank you Kommo-o for your work on this forum, we appreciate it very much. This community is the reason why many of us keep playing Emerald and beating our own records, sharing experiences and helping each other to improve.

By the way, could you update the Arena leader board to include my 114 win streak? Thanks again and I hope you have a great day!

Thanks for letting me know, the streak has been added on the leaderboard as well. Please let me know if there's any mistakes or any other streak I might had missed.

Hello everyone! I want to share with you my biggest accomplishment ever in the tower at lv 50. A win streak of 162. This time using an emulator.
First of all I always admired team Azure of kommo-o and wanted to try it out one day. I also love the colour blu, and guess what are my favourite pokémon? Yeah, 3 blue boys, latios, suicune and metagross. Sad story short, with my gba SP and emerald cartridge, with which I made my previous tower streak, I dont have access to a competitive suicune. The one I have I gotit from fire red years ago and it sucks. So the other day I decided to try emerald on emulator, never used before, not even for smartphone. I was using my pc for univesity and I said, yeah, I deserve it. And oh boy, I discovered an all new world of cheat codes and shenanigans. Mind you, I wanted to try the battle tower fair and square, not with max stats or impossible moves or saving before losing kind of cheats. Not like that. I wouldnt have write down here my streak otherwise. I just wanted a taste of my ideal and favourite team that I couldnt get on cartridge. So I used just the codes for getting perfect ivs and the 3 pokémon I wanted, skipping the RNG process and the cross breedings and the genetic engineering. The 3 blue pokémon that I cited earlier. Than I ev trained them myself looking at team azure as a basic inspiration and some other smogon insights. It was a fast process, not gonna lie. I would have never tried it in any other way. I got them at lv 40, teached them the right moves, that they can normally learn and then I warped to the frontier skipping all of the main story. I did it all this week end in a couple of days. Fast forward mode with the emulator is out of this world. So in a couple of hours I was ready to try the battle tower with my azure team lite version. I tried using Steelix but I just couldnt see his real potential. I would love to have liked it, but the sparks between us never flew I guess. So speaking of my azure team cheap version, cause they are all blue, get it? (I dont get why kommo-o called its team azure with his shiny pokemon of all different colors beside blu?azure?!are you daltonic man?). Anyway, my light blue team, the Sapphire Squad or SS (no pun intended) is composed of a distant cousin of the Enkidu latios of azure team, with different evs spreads and ice beam instead of dragon claw (how do you kill the grass fucker without Ice?!?). It has a different spreads in def and sp def also. Huge thing the nature. I previously ran a modest nature latios with a 200 sp atk but with timid I can outspeed more threats. (Looking at you gengar, starmie and aerodactyl). Than I forged a bulkier suicune without speedy investment, cause I am not smart enough to understand the correlation between speed and putting up substitute. Last but not least a metagross, cause for me its better than steelix. Its far greater. I know its not sturdy and immune to electro but it has a stunning atk and a larger pool of moves. Its hp and atk invested obviously. With a choice band cause its his bread and butter basically. Just 4 evs to get 91 speed and outspeed a couple of other metagross earthquakes. Maybe its a boring team cause latios and metagross are everywhere and over used by now. Well guess what? it s cause they are awesome. Thats why. Its that simple. You know whats even cooler than latios and metagross? Latios and metagross fighting side by side with a suicune. Thats the peak. Top of the chart. Pinnacle of the pyramid. There is no doubts. Any other options its a downgrade.

So I started my run using my dream team and I dont know if its the perfect ivs, or the sinergy, or the mesmerizing blue color or I am just in the zone, but I am breezing through the through. I dont have a goal in mind thats the thing. I am just enjoyng myself. The record streak is a secondary thought. Without losing once I beat Annabel two times. I am also using the emulator speed frame so I am litteraly flying. Latios does most of the work, when I see a bulky curse treat I explode with metagross and for threatening beast, suicune is a game changer. I have never used substitute, but seeing this forum and all of your amazing teams I guessed it was a great strategy to use. And indeed it was. Suicune is a wall, an impenetrable tank. He is just amazing. Its tough to break it. Just electric and grass attack are dangerous but with a couple of calm mind behind a substitute he laugh to the face of everyone, while their attacks cant even scratch the top of his substitute. Trying this run just for him it was worthy. Pp stalling the enemy with the fast forward emulator speed is a piece of cake. Just spamming calm mind and when they hit struggle its done.
The strategy its basically this: Latios kill everything he can. If they let me, I will set up calm mind and they will be sorry. If the enemy can kill my latios I send out metagross, with shadow ball he clear me from psychic and ghost pokemon, with earthquake from the electro one and meteor mash pulverize the icy bastards. If its a DT spammer or just a huge threat that I cant put down in a couple of turns, than that water monster of Suicune rises from the abyss to help me. When he sets up 6 CM its a rainy god raining tsunami down its enemies. He can sweep everything and everyone, sending them to kingdom come. If the enemy has water absorb like lapras or vaporeon I await for his death by struggle from behind my substitute. If he has leftovers I change back to someone else.
I have beaten Annabel 4 times easily with just latios and calm mind. Setting up 4 CM against Raikou, than Ice beamed her latios and 2 shotted snorlax with psychic (how many time do you want to get your ass kicked dear lady?!) I destroyed my records team of 111, done in an entire summer of pain and suffering, the team was the latios bodyguards. It had a slaking as a pivot and it was an ultra offensive one.
But compared to that the cohesion of this team its just poetic. Suicune tanks the latios and metagross threats, metagross the physical ones and the explosions. Also the blue frame of their figure gives me the chills. They complete each other. Overall I had some problems with curse and DD users, like a fucking quagsire who I pp stalled just to discover that at maximum atk and def, while struggling he didnt die cause of his leftovers. Also my suicunes surf would just give him health, cause of water absorb ability. In the end I dont know how but I killed it with explosion. DD salamence and gyarados are real fucker. The first one with brightpowder, if I miss ice beam on the first turn with latios I am screwed. Gyarados is the one who put an end at my streak. My loss went like this: after killing typloshion with latios and a boosted 4 CM, I saw a crobat and I went for the psychic easy kill. I miss, cause of brightpowder and he crit me with sludgebomb. Metagross come in to smack his meteor mash but he get confused and he also miss 2 times. When he has just a couple of hp left he killed it but its too late now. Gyarados come in and it has DD. Suicune try to CM and use substitute but after a couple of boost gyarados wreaks havoc. Surfing against him its tough and he rest when he is in the lower hp half. My streak is done but I am proud. Other than that I had problems with umbreon and jolteon 4, maybe some perish song or lovely kiss jynx, but I always survived in the end. Also gardevoir is a bitch. I have to use shadowball with metagross to kill her, but she is faster and sometimes pack fire moves. Also she has destiny bond. What a pain. I also risked my streak 2 times in a row against a porygon 2. What a joke! The fourth set, boltbeam with spec. atk boost. I send out metagross cause latios die in 2 with Ice beam and cant kill him, and suicune hate electricity. Metagross miss meteor mash 3 times. Wow. Just wow. Then he die of thunderbolt. I have to use suicune and his huge bulk to save the situation with the standard calm mind and substitute. But it was a close one. The next battle, trainer number 156 I think, another porygon 2 set 4 came out. The AI saw that I risked my life back there so they want to test me again. Same pattern but this time with metagross I use earthquake cause it has more precision. With the speed frame I couldnt understand why he missed again 3 times, the test its too speedy. Again? It was impossible. Come on. So I decrease the speed frame and I read that porygon 2 has taken the ability levitate from latios. What an idiot I am! Of course it missed, it was immune. Metagross die and Suicune have to save the situation again. God bless you Suicune.
Now a quick citation of an infamous threat of the tower, the 1OK O move. Horn drill, fissure, you name it. I was always scared of them and without a sturdy ability you are kind of naked against it. Just relay on sheer luck I guess. Than I discovered that substitute is amazing even for this. Seeing suicune tanking 3 sheer colds in a row behind a substitute its an amazing view that I recomend to anyone. It happened just once that they quick clawed me after destroying my substitute with a previous 1OK O move but I was able to win with metagross and an earthquake. (Fuck you rhydon). To conclude this dissertation about why I decided to try a run with blu pokemons, than here it is my blue team, the Sapphire Squad SS - They love the color blu if it wasnt clear and so do I

https://pokepast.es/67d3a30f26a71604

I hope to be put in the leaderboard but I am a little scared cause I dont fully know your rules and policy about emulator and cheat code. I dont think you find this ethical? Maybe the perfects ivs stats its not fair game? I thought of that but the entire tower has pokemon with perfect ivs so it should be ok. Why not everyone in here does it? Cause your better than me I think. The way I trained my pokemon could have been done without code so its just a reason of time and tools. If the way I got them is the cheat than ok, it means that the process of obtaining them its the real deal not the run per se. But I couldnt find any other way to use this team to be honest. Suicune was just out of reach. This was the only one. But I can understand that people who breed a perfect pokemon and train them or pass them over from colosseum or other games are the OG and they deserve the honor and praise. Strictly considering the frontier though I think I earned it cause you can have perfect IVs pokemon but than you have to use them right. I made a huge run in just a couple of days, but it was a serious and difficult one, fair and square with tower hax move and lucks and the usual things. I sweat and I cried and I laughed and I lived every floor of it. Loving it. Cursing it. But you know if you can put me in the leader board or not. In the end I just wanted to share my experience with you to be honest, cause I did it all out of love and curiosity for this team. I started the run for fun, getting so far wasnt on my agenda. It was a surprise yes, but a welcomed one.

Anyway, after this run I will retire for a while, I used my team of latios bodyguards on cartridge with slaking metagross and latios reaching 111 tower lv and it was a fun run. Than I tried a cheap version of adede iridescence team but without the right stats and moves I couldnt get far. Also without an emulator it was boring as hell. I was thinking of using a registeel team this summer but I lost interest after more consideration. All the while I was thinking about the azure team, my mind painted blu, it became a recurrent mantra, an obsessive thought, a distant colorful mirage. In the end the real obsession was for suicune I think, so I had to try it out. To taste it first hand. With my blue team I reached the pinnacle of my pokemon trainer career. It was done with cheat code and emulator? Yeah so what? The 162 run was mine alone though. I just speed up the process of getting the pokémons. Nonetheless it was worth it, and I enjoyed it all the way to the end. Now I dont know if I will use other teams in the future cause this one will always be the real one and I dont know if I can replace it.
Just too good to be blue.
Let me know if I am eligible for the board so I can put it on my CV. Peace out and cheers everyone. And remember that blue is the warmest color.

Hi Alex, unfortunately on this case, my rules are clear and I do not accept streaks with hacked Pokemon. However since you have been a regular for a while on this forum, I don't mind sharing with you, .pk files of RNG abused Pokemon that you might need and you can just dump them on your emulator save. Do you happen to have Discord? Because you can join the Bank of Hoenn server and tag either me or Runeblade14 so we can help you and send you the files. I do happen to have RNG abused Latios, Suicune and Metagross that I can share with you and feel free to re-submit the streak after using them (you'll have to take care of the EV training by yourself though)

 

[inmortalsero]

Im going to try to complete the battle tower using 3 shiny legendary dogs with RNG abuse to improve ivs its ilegal from fire red have decent ivs, but from colosseum this will be different, I have the three legal dogs, im going to focus to get silver symbol in battle frontier If I can complete I will post here the strategy and the ivs evs and natures. Thank you for create this post of battle frontier im really interested in do this challenge !! Very good post I will use orignal gba cartridge

Reached 78 KOs in the Arena using a team of Gengar, Snorlax, and Latios which was based off of submenceisop's team.

TwistedSpoon is another item I considered on Latios since it gets the guaranteed OHKO on Heracross 2 which runs max HP.

Lost against a team of Slowking 4, Weezing 4, and Gardevoir 4. Destiny Bond on Slowking, and Weezing explodes on Lax. Then it's Latios vs Gardevoir which I win 1v1 assuming no crit or brightpowder. But AI gets the crit Ice Punch and kills me.

 

[Aceolus]

Does anyone know of a 2nd option for Latio's? I know that he is a staple but I accidently EV trained mine wrong and he is a level 100 so now I'm stuck with a Level 100 Latios with bad stats. Or can I just use berries on him and retrain him again? I'm new to this EV training thing.

 

[hexandwhy]

In gen 3, Pokemon can have their EV re-applied by putting the Pokemon from your party to the PC Box and out again[0]. So just apply your EV-reducing berry and farm the proper EV and do that. Do note that this won't work in gen 4 and 5 as EV is gained along with EXP, and level 100 Pokemon don't gain EXP. Though this can be worked around in gen 5 as it has those EV-increasing feather items.

EDIT: Welp, I got it totally wrong, memory failed me big time. Level 100 Pokemon don't gain EV in gen 3 and 4, but do in gen 5[1]. Ugh, sorry.

BATTLE FACTORY NEVER AGAIN TO THIS PLACE

I got the Gold Symbol from Battle factory after 100+ hours on this nightmare. I tried a lot to get some good pokemons but either i lost because of bad luck or because of AI's luck. First of all if you want to try Gold Symbol for Factory its absolutely necessary to get your win streak on Battle Tower to 0. This gives you the opportunity to face opponents with below average IVs pokemons. Also i found that the more you trade pokemons its easier for you to get Pokemons with good IV's. After 15 trades you can get a Pokemon with 31 IV's. For the first 2 rounds i trade 14 Pokemon. Yeah 14 Pokemons and that means for the first 2 rounds i traded Pokemon after every battle( every round has 7 battles so for 2 rounds that means 14 trades). Also if you trade 15+ times when a round starts and you choose 3 of the 6 available Pokemon you have the opportunity to get a Pokemon from the next round( for example if you now start the 4th round and you have 15+ trades one of the 6 Pokemon you are able to choose will be from the 5th round and etc). If you want to try the Factory just try the lvl 50 its easier and you can make more mistakes without cost you the battle. I faced Noland only two times. The first time i dont even remember what Pokemons i had or he has. But after the method i mentioned above i met him for second time and...boom i won the gold symbol. My team was Electrode, Milotic and Skarmory from the next round(i had more than 15+ trades). Noland's team was Blissey which was just a nightmare. This Blissey had fire blast, softboiled, blizzard and one more move which i dont remember. I just tried to end all her PPs with Milotic and just kill it with Skarmory. Next pokemon was Gyarados which I oneshot it with Electrode and last Pokemon was Lanturn and i used explosion with Electrode and i won the Gold Symbol. I upload the screen with me streak. Thanks everyone

Greetings everyone, I'm here again to report an ongoing streak of 511W in Battle Tower Doubles LV. 50 on Emulator. Back in November and after countless hours of testing so many different teams, I created this one with which I felt totally comfortable and confident and reached 1008W in Open Level. I feel bad I did not mention the user Actaeon in the previous post, with who I discussed a lot in discord back then during the team building and testing process. He gave me good ideas and helped me optimize the EV spread of some of my mons.

Now, I'm not a big fan of LV. 50 in the Emerald Battle Frontier, so I almost always play Open Level, but since I started a fresh Emerald game to get all gold symbols (because in my main one I got the Open Level streak and it was IMPOSSIBLE to beat Battle Factory) I thought it would be a good idea to try to go for a nice streak in LV. 50 after beating Battle Factory, which is exactly what I did.

I felt like tweaking my Open Level team just a little bit just to see how it would perform. During my previous streak, I had some REALLY close calls with Explosion. Especially these out-of-nowhere T1 quick claw ones. I remember almost losing twice to that during the whole Open Level streak. Even though having HP Fire on Latios was really nice, I honestly felt like in general protect was a better option overall. Besides giving myself yet another way to play around explosion, NPCs have a tendency to target the lowest HP Pokemon, so having protect on Latios buys really good time for its partner to deal more damage off on the opponents and put them on a range where Latios can get a KO. The other small change I made was getting a new Articuno without HP Grass. This move was decent in terms of coverage but I rarely got to use it, so I thought substitute would be a better option, which then in practice I really do think it was.

Team (511W)

Level: 50
EVs: 28 HP / 12 Def / 244 SpA / 6 SpD / 220 Spe

Ability: Pressure
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 250 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

I think I will eventually try to go for 1500W or 2000W in Open Level with this team, from scratch, on this new file. I do have fun playing BT Doubles. I posted two videos of this team's run in LV. 50 on my channel.

Long-time lurker, and first-time poster here to report an ongoing streak of 42 wins in the Battle Palace on a retail cart of Pokemon Emerald.

Here is the team;

Bell (Suicune) @ Chesto Berry
Evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Sp.Atk
Ivs: 8 / 19 / 28 / 26 / 29 / 21
Ability: Pressure

- Calm Mind
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Surf

Haystack (Meganium) @ Brightpowder
Evs: 252 HP / 126 Def / 132 Sp.Def
Ivs: 14 / 27 / 12 / 15 / 31 / 13
Ability: Overgrow
Level: 50
Bold Nature
- Synthesis
- Reflect
- Counter
- Leech Seed

Blissey @ Leftovers
Evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Sp.Atk
Ivs: 31 / 15 / 22 / 10 / 11 / 13
Ability: Natural Cure
Level: 50
Calm Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Toxic
- Softboiled
- Calm Mind

I know the team is less than optimal, and I will be making immediate adjustments now that I have gotten past Spenser ( as my first few runs have not been without challenges). I guess I wanted to see this team out because I like it and it had gotten so close to breaking 42 wins in the past. It functions essentially as it looks like it would, Meganium is for some of the wandering mixed attackers and physical threats that Suicune or Blissey can't take care of. It also throws out important leech seeds making reliable Suicune setups a bit easier. Blissey is there to wall special threats, and take care of the bulky waters that Suicune can not. Suicune is obviously the main sweeper.

This Suicune is one that I recently spent a bit of time resetting for in colosseum after using a Quirky FRLG Suicune for some open-level runs. Can say that the improvement in move choice was not as helpful as I thought it might be, but the extra IVS definitely saved me on some of the more dicey matchups that Suicune sometimes struggles with. All in all, I probably will stick with this Suicune for a while as, besides HP, the rest of its IVS are pretty solid.

Some notes on this streak and prior attempts:
Breloom is often a total run killer unless Suicune is already set up or Meganium plays its cards right. Going forward I am planning to swap Meganium for Swords Dance Venusaur. It is a better matchup into Breloom and I have had some prior success with it in open level paired with a support Stantler and CM Suicune, so I would like to see if the adjustment helps.

Some of the more interesting battles on this current streak include;
Suicune PP stalling multiple Lapras
Battles 35-41 had 3 encounters with Breloom (Only one was super dire, as suicune was not set up and Meganium was K.O.d with crit focus punch
Meganium impressively handling an Ampharos that would have otherwise ended the run.

The Spenser fight went about as well as I could have possibly hoped for:
Suicune handles Arcanine with two surfs after tanking two extreme speeds,
Suicune is swapped for Meganium on Slaking in hopes of getting leech seed, it is instead K.O.d with hyper beam and shadow ball
Suicune reappears and rests, tanks a hit, and begins to set up ( this includes a lucky Hyper Beam miss while at half health)
Slaking is K.O.d with surf, Spensers Suicune is sent out
Blissey is swapped in and eats everything while retaliating with thunderbolt and toxic until Suicune drops.

Anyway, it is lovely to finally participate in this thread after lurking for so long. It is so wonderful that the Gen III Frontier has maintained a community all of these years. I hope this is the first of many posts! It is a childhood dream of mine to attain a reputation in the Palace, and after years of reading and waiting around it is about time to finally take the dream on!

Hello, thanks for joining. Take into account that the minimum requirement to join the leaderboard is for +70 wins, so whenever you update the streak or reach 70 wins, let me know and I'll add this to the leaderboard :)
