That reminds me a lot of playing Multi-Battles with my friends. A couple buddies were so far in (I think Round 6 of Factory) or something, and at the same time, both their DSs gave the dreaded "COMMUNICATION ERROR" and a blue screen of death. We always say that's the ultimate hax.

HeartGold Battle Factory Doubles (Open Level): Streak 30 This format is insane. I almost never get past Round 2, but I got some very lucky opening 6's for this streak, including Salamence, Scizor, Dragonite, among others with great type coverage, and a few good EQ/Levitate combos. I finally...

I think where you went wrong in your streak was not breaking your paragraph down into more readable paragraph. Also, Garchomp is banned in OU because he has phenomenal stats with a phenomenal movepool, not because of his 4X weakness to ice. Almost every pokemon has a 4X weakness, at at least a...

What a Hax Factory. I had Heatran 3 and Aerodactyl 4 agianst the opponents last Raichu, this is battle 41, about to beat my old record. Raichu Thunder Waves Heatran, and I'm fully paralyzed. Next turn, he Thunderpunches, and I'm fully paralyzed. Next turn he thunderpunches again and I'm fully...

Thanks for the info. Do you know if anything else at all in Factory (and the entire frontier at that) has also changed in HGSS?

I started playing Frontier on Factory (my Diamond went missing before I got to Tower, and never played for the frontier in 3rd gen). I hadn't even attempted the other facilities for a long while, until I had trained a decent team for them. I played Platinum Factory like nobody's business. I had...

HeartGold, Battle Hall, Single Battle, Streak 174 MAN this shit is tough after 170. I basically wanted to get the Gold Plate and I decided to just ride the wave after that. I was using the pretty standard Garchomp, but I figured it was a good way to guarantee the Gold Plate. In the future, I'd...

In rounds 1 and 2, I find it works to just go all-out aggro. Forget trying to switch into the best pokemon, just keep hosing whatever is against you. In Rounds 3 and beyond, only then should you really pay attention to their moves. At least in round 1, they almost never make the best plays and...

I was using that Togekiss in Factory before. If it has Serene Grace, you virtually can't lose. I managed to Raise-All-Stats at least once every battle in that round. But my god, that's a brutal loss, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, I already have this link bookmarked, and it's very helpful, but I know there's a lot more that's affected by swapping frequency than just IVs. I must figure it out!

From all of my Factory playing, this seems to be true to some degree. By trading every battle (or extremely often), by Round 3, you will often receive Pokemon 700 rank and above. By Round 4, if traded every battle, you will often receive a legendary of some kind. By Round 5 if you traded often...

HeartGold+Platinum, Battle Factory, Multi-Battle Link Battles Streak: 31 So my friend Jeff and I are always playing Battle Factory, and just today decided we should try the Multi Battles since we have two games and two DSs now. I also just noticed that there is no record for this format yet. I...

I'm telling you, Lickylicky is just a sonofabitch.

Actually, My Garchomp has trouble with Lickylicky. I can't seem to do more than 49% with Outrage. I'm using... Garchomp Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 Hp Item: Focus Sash ~ Swords Dance ~ Outrage ~ Earthquake ~ Fire Fang/Stone Edge I figure Sash helps me survive an ice beam, allowing...

Exactly, I love Battle Factory! I like how it always feels fresh, since I'm using different Pokemon each round. Plus, since none of the Pokemon are your own, it takes a different sort of skill to judge what the best Pokemon are, and which ones are better for which situations, at least within the...
