People, I was thinking off something.

I was thinking about an 'two-in-one' guide for the BT.

I mean taking this:
http://133780x.argentosonline.com/BattleTowerStats.html

guide, perhaps checking some of the stuff, and then adding a new column with the header, 'Users'.

We could then take this guide by Peterko:

http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=431

And insert all the info in.

It could be much easier than having to print off 30 pages for those who can't be at the computer all day (something I had to do earlier).

What d'ya think? It could also enable us to revise some of the stats and shit.

I've been reading through this thread recently and I've been inspired by Jumpman to try out the Battle Tower (and I realise this may be a bit late but congrats on 350 Jumpman that's insane). I decided to try out a Trick/Choice Scarf based team since they looked really cool and it's obvious they perform well.

I also, however, decided to go down a bit of a different road with the team. By that I mean instead of Tricking the Choice Scarf to my opponent's lead and then using moves like Flash and Sweet Kiss, I picked Pokemon that cover weaknesses and, when combined, resist almost every type. Here's the team:

Mismagius@Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
Nature: Jolly (+Spd,-SpA)
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spd / 6 SpD
- Trick
- Thunder Wave
- Grudge
- Destiny Bond

Yeah, this is a Platinum tradeback, oh well. I have Jolly nature over the standard Timid nature only because I got a Jolly Misdreavus first. Timid would probably be better so I take less damage from hurting myself in confusion, but I won't bother changing that because it will most likely never make a difference (now that I've said that confusion damage will probably cost me a battle somehow).

The first two moves are fairly self-explanatory by now. On the first turn I use Trick (unless I know my opponent has a Choice Scarf as well; I use Thunder Wave against them), and depending on what move they use I either paralyze them, Grudge their move out of PP or switch to Garchomp/Empoleon and set up. If they use an attacking move that doesn't kill Mismagius in 1 or 2 hits, I will use Thunder Wave the next turn, and most likely switch out to Garchomp or Empoleon and set up. If they just use a move like Swords Dance or Agility, I obviously just switch out and set up. If they use a status move, I paralyze them and switch to Garchomp to set up.

Grudge is a seldom-used move, but it has come in handy several times. For example, against a Miltank I fought (539 Miltank Silk Scarf Body Slam Giga Impact Earthquake Heal Bell HP/Atk/Sp. Def), I Tricked it into Body Slam on the first turn (it did around 40% I think; I don't remember exactly but it was a 3HKO). Since I didn't want to switch Empoleon into potential paralysis and I didn't want to switch Garchomp into STAB Body Slam (it would've broken Garchomp's Substitutes even if it had a -Atk nature), I just used Grudge. Needless to say, it was a lot easier to set up against a Struggling Miltank than a Body Slamming Miltank.

Destiny Bond is there to get that last KO if I need it, since the majority of the time I end up switching out Mismagius rather than sacrificing it.

Garchomp@Lum Berry
Trait: Sand Veil
Nature: Jolly (+Spd, -SpA)
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Outrage

It's Garchomp. There's not much more to say. If Mismagius locks the opponent's lead into a Fire/Poison/Electric/Rock/status move, Garchomp is most likely going to be setting up and sweeping. I chose Garchomp because it's simply one of the best sweepers in the game to use :x

Empoleon@Salac Berry
Trait: Torrent
Nature: Jolly (+Spd, -SpA)
EVs: 8 HP / 248 Atk / 252 Spd
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Aqua Jet
- Drill Peck

I chose Empoleon because it rounds out my team well with its ridiculous number of resists. Together, Empoleon and Garchomp resist every type except Fighting, Ground, and Grass (and Mismagius will almost never Trick opponents into Fighting or Ground moves considering it's immune to them).

The idea of this set (if isn't already completely obvious) is to use Swords Dance and Substitute until I'm in Torrent range and Salac Berry activates. Once it does, I hit 184 Speed, which allows me to outspeed base 115 Speed Pokemon with a +Spd nature. Everything faster than Empoleon after a Salac boost is OHKO'd by boosted Aqua Jet (the only Pokemon that even resists it is Sceptile), while Drill Peck hits everything that resists Aqua Jet for neutral damage (excluding Lanturn and enemy Empoleons). I originally couldn't choose between Drill Peck and Return for that fourth slot, but I eventually chose Drill Peck simply because it hits Grass types for super effective damage (and Grass types are pretty annoying for this team).

I'm considering ditching Substitute and using something like Waterfall, since it gives Empoleon so much power against slower opponents. Substitute has also been a bit of a pain sometimes. For example, if I'm up against a Pokemon that is trapped using an unstabbed move like Dark Pulse or something, I don't really want to Substitute with Empoleon since it usually takes 3 or more hits just to break the Substitute, and although it gives me plenty of time to Swords Dance three times, it also takes much longer to get down to Salac/Torrent range. If I drop Substitute, though, I will be exposed to a lot more gay things like Ice Beam freezes and whatnot.

Also, if I use Waterfall, Drill Peck becomes pretty much useless unless I'm up against Water Absorb/Dry Skin Pokemon or Grass types. This is because STAB Torrent Waterfall is stronger than even a super-effective Drill Peck (Waterfall is 80*1.5*1.5=180 power while Drill Peck is 80*2=160 power), and such a resisted STAB Torrent Waterfall is stronger than a neutral Drill Peck. I guess what I'm wondering is, if I do replace Substitute with Waterfall, should I also replace Drill Peck with Return?

Overall, the team is actually really fun to play, and although I lost at battle 55 or something (well, not so much 'lost' as 'my DS froze' lol), I think I'll be able to get a much higher score once I get a new DS and more experience fighting in the Battle Tower.

Here are a couple of concerns and Pokemon that I may have problems with if I ever fight them:

- I lack a Grass resistance. If I fight a Tangrowth lead, for example, I will be in trouble if it uses Power Whip. Should I just try to Grudge it out of PP? Should I paralyze it and try to set up on it? Should I just Destiny Bond it out of the way? I'm just not sure what I should do if I ever face Tangrowth or similar Pokemon.

- Mold Breaker Pokemon. Pinsir shouldn't be a problem really since its first two sets require set up (Earthquake doesn't OHKO unboosted so it wont use it first turn right?), the third set doesn't have Earthquake, and the fourth set has a Choice Scarf (so if I fight a trainer that only uses Pinsir 4, I will just spam Grudge and set up against it afterwards). Rampardos could be a problem though (especially Rampardos 3), and I'm not really sure what I should do to deal with it if I face it.

If anyone else has concerns or questions or suggestions about my team, I would love to hear them. I mean, the reason I posted it here and went through the trouble of explaining everything was so that I could get some help improving it :D

alright ill bite. Why use Mismagius over Gengar? Gengar not only gives you the grass resist, but is also faster and learns all fo the same moves missy does (although maybe not grudge which might be why you are using missy).

Gengar does get Grudge, but it doesn't get Thunder Wave (I was surprised too, considering it gets Thunderbolt and Thunder). The Grass resist would help, but I find Thunder Wave to be a crucial move for setting up.

I actually was considering Gengar (and Shedinja, actually :x) until I learned neither of them could learn a move that reliably paralyses the opponent. Mismagius also has strictly better defenses than Gengar (60/60/105 vs 60/60/75), and "only" 5 less base Speed. I put that in quotations because the 5 base Speed would probably help a lot outspeeding things after Tricking them.

Also, I'm not sure on this one because I'm still not familiar with what attacks the AI uses in what situation, but wouldn't Gengar make me more vulnerable to Mold Breaker Pokemon?

Yeah, it would, but that's not really that big a deal. What is a big deal is using Destiny Bond on your Tricker when your goal is to get one of your sweepers set up? Why bother? It seems counterintuitive to me, and Missy learns all sorts of great moves for a Trick strategy, like Flash, Memento, and even Curse, which would be great for Metagross...though you do have Empoleon and would be less worried about that than I am.

I'd worried more about hammering your Missy set down first...Empoleon is interesting but I would keep the set the way it is for now.

I chose Destiny Bond kind of as a 'filler' move honestly, but now that you mention it, Memento looks like a really cool option (and another reason to use Mismagius over Gengar). The only thing with Memento is that I will have to breed for it, but I guess it does give me another reason to rebreed for a Timid nature :x

Once I get a new DS and a Timid Mismagius with Memento, I'll give the Battle Tower another try.

well a place to start would be looking at your current weaknesses, first is the shared ice weaknesses so it is almost mandatory that your third resist it. dark and ghost kinda suck too so for obvious reasons i would lean towards scizor off the top of my head, though you dont have anything decent for rock leads either, like CB Stone Edge Aerodactyl would murder this team. i may actually lean towards a bulky lucario because of its quad rock and dark resiistance, it would kind of need bullet punch though

i dont know what pokes you have but you should always start with what weaknesses you need to cover when you have two pokes already

Well so far my team of Suicune, Clefable, Dragonite has done well. Doing hw but on battle 29..Only thinq I hate is; Suicune has to CM a lot to do KO's, even if it's SE aqainst the Pokemon. I almost killed myself when a Licklicky survived my 3CM HP Fight Attack. Only thinq I'm word bout is OHKO users and Gallade. I can't sub OHKO users and Pressure them out like I use to with Raikou. But I quess I'll have to see how far I qet.

Why does your Suicune have HP Fight?

Surf actually does more damage than a super-effective HP Fight (70).

Rain Dance
Thunderbolt

Hypnosis

It's my lead for getting rain dance, and to take out ghosts if my normal attacks fail.


Smeargle @ Salac Berry
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Speed 252 Hp 4 Attack

Spore
Substitute
Belly Drum
Batton Pass

I belly drum pass to My secret weapon to sweep the whole game :o

Yes, my secret weapon is... A Magikarp xD After I get sashed, Belly drum passed, and Swift Swim bonus this Magikarp gets over 560 speed. And can OHKO everything, even Ubers. Except ghosts. :( I have to gengar to solve my Ghost problem.

Overall, a good team. And its hilarious that I got to 57 Wins with a Magikarp xD.

Yeah but the problem with that team is it's too frail and won't be taking too many hits, believe me I've tried a Baton Passing team and wasn't too successful, only maxing out at 44 or so wins and the reason was because my Baton Passer was too frail and if the opponent woke up when I Spored them then I would have a problem.

.
magikarp can barely kill anything assuming all pokes are level 50 a +6 252attack adamant magikarp using flail does

47.6%-56.4% to 252/252+ cresselia
46.9%-55.6% to 252/252+ groudon (good luck killing ubers)

and both these pokemon are neutral to flail, the calcs become even more pathetic if you teston rocks and steels. im honestly amazed that you got over 50 wins with that.

He's using Magikarp over Gyarados for its Ability.
Although something like Kabutops, Kingdra, Seaking, Qwilfish, or Ludicolo would perform this job much better.

Hmm, wonder if Jumpman16 ever ran into one of these gay ScarfPinsir leads.
just quoting for lolololol, so you basically said that is impossible to use a trick team in the BT?????, i mean just because you cant make it work it doesnt mean it doesnt work lolol, a quick view to the BT singles list and you will see that the trick teams are the top ones.
also pointing out that the 2,7% probability of getting hit by three OHKO`s in a row means that only 3 times (rounding up) of every 100 times you face a lead with OHKO moves they will hit you, so the other 97 times you will have time enought to set up and they will ran out of OHKO move´s PP while you use your substitutes, so it´s pretty good for me to lose to OHKO leads 3 times out of facing 100 of them, considering that for every 100 battles you face a maximum of 10 OHKO leads in my experience.

Apparently, some guy on Serebii called 'EvilAzn' got 407 with this team:

Skarmory@ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 96 Atk / 156 Def / 4 Spe

~ Drill Peck
~ Roost
~ Stealth Rock
~ Whirlwind

Blissey@ Lum Berry
Ability: Serene Grace
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD

~ Calm Mind
~ Softboiled
~ Ice Beam
~ Thunderbolt

Infernape@ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Naive
EVs: 24 Atk / 252 SpA / 232 Spe (probably this spread but not sure)

~ Grass Knot
~ Fire Blast
~ Close Combat
~ Hidden Power Ice 69

Is it possible to get over 400 with this team?

everything´s possible if you´re lucky enough among other things...I think everyone agrees that this won´t be listed for obvious reasons
EDIT: please don´t start a 3-5 page discussion about this

the team is not bad...actually it´s similar to my current team as he also uses skarmory + set up normal type that absorbs special hits...on the other hand, there are a lot of ways for the AI to beat this team relatively easily but I don´t want to get into details now


anyway, here´s a little question for the experienced tower hikers related to the AI:

Your 156HP/81def latios faces Aerodactyl 4 (CB, stone edge, iron head, earthquake, dragon claw) turn one, what attack will Aerodactyl use and why?

Stone Edge, it does more damage, in this case.
