I think my DP streaks actually fall under tradebacks.

Hello, everyone! At the start of last year, I made a post detailing my Frontier/Tower streaks in Platinum, SoulSilver, and Diamond. I said I would eventually get around to more, and today I'm reporting another ongoing streak of 105 wins in the Pearl Battle Tower on retail. [/spoiler] I've...

Funky. Guess that might be a lot of speed investment on my end going to waste. Thanks for clarifying.

I've been building up a streak in the DP Battle Tower and ran into a strange contradiction. Azelf, Timid, 29IV, 252 Spe = 182 vs. Aerodactyl, Jolly, 16IV (It was Set 5, Fight 7; maybe 31IV?), 252 Spe = 191 (200 if 31IV) King's Rock Rock Slide Iron Head Ice Fang Thunder Fang Either way, Azelf...

Update: Achieved a 49-streak in Super Multis on the first try! That's not to say it went smoothly, but a win's a win. That's it for Black. 4/28/2022 UPDATE: Got the trophies in Black 2, as well! Same teams, two tries each. Great to see their consistency. And as always, thanks for all the...

Congratulations on the Symbols, and I understand your desire to avoid using the Pokemon that are most dominant in the Frontier. However, it's neither respectful nor productive to dismiss them as "easymons" as if using them makes the entire experience a joke. I myself had suboptimal IVs and...

Hello, everyone! Posting here to share teams and streak descriptions for 49 Wins on both the Super Single and Super Double Trains in Black. I know it takes 70 for the leaderboards (and they're not being updated, anyway?), but my goal was just the trophies. I've been 100%ing all my Gen 3-5...

Hello, everyone! Posting to report Gold Print streaks on retail in all facilities in Platinum and SoulSilver. With the exception of the Factory, but I also have qualifying streaks there. I also completed >100-win streaks in the Battle Towers of Platinum, SoulSilver, and Diamond. The postgame...

This happened to me, too, and also in the Arcade. Some Picnicker in an early set. I knew they could appear since Personality Values on opponent Pokémon are random, but it was still neat. The only shinies I've ever found myself were in BW.

Thank you! Watching some of your videos again, I honestly played even safer than I should have. Rarely did I switch in Latias unless the opponent was fully Struggling, even if the only threat was losing the Lum Berry from, say, Thunderbolt. But that goes to show the team's flexibility...

Hello again! Posting to report a streak of 105 wins in the Level 50 Battle Tower on retail. This marks the conclusion of the 70-streak I had going in my post up above, at least in terms of getting the Gold Shield. It didn't sit right with me to get all the Gold Symbols but still leave the...

Yeah, I found this out upon rewatching speedruns more closely. I foolishly assumed you could buy them with BP at the Frontier like you can in Platinum, forgetting that Gen 3 wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. Way too easy to lock yourself out of forever by saving after the guy gives you...

Hello, everyone! Posting here to report completed Gold Symbol streaks in all seven Emerald facilities on retail. Obviously not competing for the top spots, but it was a sore spot of mine ever since kid-me wrote the whole Frontier off as impossible. I've been taking this on in a few different...

It definitely didn't have a berry, or any item. I think I landed on either freezing or lowering HP for the opponent. Other possibilities were sleep, level-up on me, weather (all irrelevant thanks to Sand Stream), board speed decrease, or no event. Sorry that I don't remember all the details...

Thanks. I figured as much, but I wanted to be sure. I ended up getting the Gold Print in SoulSilver the other day with the TTar lead. Swapped out TPunch for Ice Punch, Dahlia led with Zapdos again anyway. Funnily enough, I saw another baffling Blaziken play during Set 7. Basically the same...
