Pokémon Platinum Battle Frontier Double Battles.

Streak: 16*
Battles won: 112*

Edit:

Streak ended...
Streak 16
Battles won: 114

Aipom used protect, Regirock used Explosion.
Should've used the damn lists..


Team:

Smeargle lvl 1 | Bashful | Own Tempo | Focus Sash
31 HP | 31 Atk | 31 Def | 31 Sp.Atk | 31 Sp.Def | 0 Speed
Effort Values: None

Protect | Endeavor | Dark Void | Destiny Bond

======================================


(RNG)

Dusknoir lvl 50 | Relaxed | Pressure | Lum Berry
Effort Values: 252 HP | 6 Def | 252 Sp.Def
31 HP | 31 Atk | 31 Def | 31 Sp.Atk | 27 Sp.Def | 0 Speed

Protect | Trick Room | Night Shade | Rest

======================================

(RNG)

Snorlax lvl 50 | Brave | Thick Fat | Life Orb
Effort Values: 100 HP | 252 Atk | 156 Def
31 HP | 28 Atk | 31 Def | 31 Sp.Atk | 31 Sp.Def | 0 Speed

Crunch | Brick Break | Earthquake | Selfdestruct

======================================

(RNG)

Regirock lvl 50 | Brave | Clear Body | Wide Lens
Effort Values: 252 HP | 6 Sp.Def | 252 Atk
31 HP | 31 Atk | 31 Def | 31 Sp.Atk | 31 Sp.Def | 0 Speed

Rock Slide | Earthquake | Explosion | Protect

======================================


Pokémon this team has trouble with:


Quick Claw users, Damp rock Ability's, 1HKO moves
and priority moves.
Multiple Ghosts in the same team could give
me trouble as well.

======================================

Strategy:

Turn 1 always starts with Trick Room + Protect.
Turn 2 mostly goes like Night Shade + Protect.
From Turn 3 it all comes down to prediction.
I can damage the slowest pokémon (under TR condition)
and Destiny Bond the fastest (under TR condition)
provided both aren't ghosts.
Destiny Bond also helps against DT'ers and things that are immune to Night Shade.
I also have the option to take out the biggest threat for the further battle when Smeargle is gone.
(for example: QC users,
1HKO users like Dewgong/Lapras etc, Pokémon with Damp ability etc)
There's also a slight chance Dusknoir needs to rest off the damage in case of Critical Hits and stuff.
If this is nessecary, Smeargle will always use Destiny Bond / Protect (To scout priority moves if the oponent could have it..)
When Smeargle is gone, Snorlax is always coming in as first since Regirock runs protect in case I won't beat the AI within 5 turns.
From this point on I'll usualy explode my way through the battle
unless the AI ruins my fun with pokémon that could have Damp ability or Ghosts.

======================================

Team change

From this point on I'll use this over Regirock:

(RNG)

Golem lvl 50 | Brave | Sturdy | Wide Lens
Effort Values: 252 HP | 6 Sp.Def | 252 Atk
31 HP | 31 Atk | 31 Def | .. Sp.Atk | 31 Sp.Def | 0 Speed


Rock Slide | Earthquake | Explosion | Protect

Don't say Wide Lens is not the best held item for Golem since Rock Slide will only be used when it HAS to hit.

======================================

Reason for change:


Golem has a base 10 higher Atk stat and a base 5 lower Speed stat then Regirock.
It also get's a boost on Rock Slide ánd Earthquake.
Sturdy ability allows me to absorb 1HKO moves which seem to hit 9/10 times when you face them in the Battle Tower.

I hope this was enough information to put me on the list :)
Note that my streak has not ended yet !


Edit: Team suggestions and criticism are always welcome.
