  1. The In-Game Mono-Type Team Challenge

    Yeah, HGSS with Grass (or Kraut?) is indeed horrible, though I managed to do it. ;D It took me a few weeks, but well, that's actually not bad, because you can get a Leaf Stone each week - and I needed two of them in total. My HM slaves were not necessarily Grass types. My strategy against...
  2. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Congratulations on the second 1001, Jumpman. I was indeed surprised to see Mesprit and Drapion there instead of the usual stuff. ;D Are you suspending the streak forever or is there a chance you will continue it one day? (Well, if I were you or Peterko, I would play till I lose in some way, but...
  3. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Yeah, that's likely, but certainly not a rule. The Trick leads of Peterko's and mine already were exploded on right off the bat in the Tower. As for your new Castle streak, good luck there. As promised, I picked up the challenge of defending my former record. Still miles away from your 568...
  4. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Yes, but you still need to build the team yourself. :P On another topic, my experimental attempt to get back on #1 in Castle just failed. I didn't even get close to 200, so I will be using a more straightforward team next time -- yes, I'm still not giving up. :P (At least I should break my...
  5. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Dan Dan: Look into your friend code list, the streak numbers are located in your friend's profile. Hey, don't forget about me! ;D In fact, I started my new streak with the intention of getting my record back, so that's already four. :P I might need some weeks to get above 250/300/whatever...
  6. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    As for Factory, I'd recommend switching a lot in the first three runs. There isn't that much you can lose then, but instead you'll earn more well-IVed Pokémon in the starting roster in the later runs where it matters. That's how I got my Lv. 50 Gold (quite unbelievable that I'm still the only...
  7. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Speaking of Trick teams, I revised mine a bit and did three attempts. The first one ended at like 60, because I was surprised by U-Turn and made a mistake afterwards. The second one ended at 128, because of an even greater mistake (Tricked Staraptor CB off, because I was sure it would be...
  8. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Thanks again for help. I just realized a major error in my team... Hmm, that's somehow right and actually I knew about the "enhanced luck" of the AI after having read various war stories; but still, I see two problems in this approach: 1) Yanmega would, of course, still be faster than Scizor...
  9. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Ok, my next streak ended at 71 wins... Battle 72 featured the infamous Metagross 4 lead which got two attack boosts with the first two MMs, so Uxie couldn't even paralyze it. Then, Scizor couldn't stall it, because it never missed and finally, against Latios, the Struggle nullified Recover after...
  10. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    With Life Orb, Bullet Punch 2HKOs anything without double resistance and even two out of the four Heatrans, while one of those two bulky Heatrans can't even hurt Scizor (!). And if +6 Subbed Scizor really gets beaten, there is a good chance Uxie is still alive to cripple them in some way. I'm...
  11. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    First, another rather boring record. I finally managed to beat Argenta and the Battle Hall; watch this. ;) Later, I got kicked out with 202 wins because of that. For the curious, the set was Sash, SD, EQ, Outrage, Flamethrower throughout the run. Maybe I'll also do 170+ with other Pokémon. Maybe...
  12. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    I just tried Battle Hall again, but I lost before 50, against Rotom lol. Besides, as I'm planning my first Tower Trick abuse team and because I still can distribute EVs, I've made a Platinum speed tiers list, since there's only one for DP. Only the Pokémon from 49+ are included and speed...
  13. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Hello, something (kind-of) new for the Battle Hall. I tried my Infernape (and some clones thereof) and got to 169 wins for the third (or fourth? I don't even remember wtf) time. I'm really speechless about Argenta's gayness and I'm not sure right now whether I can be bothered to try Infernape...
  14. Platinum/HG/SS Battle Frontier and DP Battle Tower Records

    Time to enter the Tower Singles list. ;D I used basically the same as always, as I still didn't get an opportunity to trade more stuff onto my Platinum, just with a minor difference. :D It was sort of fact that this team wouldn't bring me past 100 without luck, so I thought I might as well...
  15. VGC's Metagame

    I actually think it is not more random than 2v2 with "regular" rules. No sleep clause, DT and OHKOs allowed, but all these tactics were rarely successful (only some Smeargles and too lucky Bronzongs lol), so what? Teams are much less standardised than in singles play and most of them would still...
