Howdy I think that Slaking is a top tier Pokemon in the gen 3 Frontier, but even with extensive knowledge of the different opponent Pokemon and their sets, it can still be hard to remember all the ranges for one specific Pokemon, especially when there is a plethora of different sets that...

I think I'm starting to be sold on Slaking.... Sad to lose on such a silly thing like missing hyper beam on Marowak but that's how it goes I guess. I didn't realize that Marowak(2/3/4) all have 255 speed instead of only Marowak(1) who has HP invest, and has a chance to survive Return - so I...

Welcome back to the Battle Arena Lati-Sandwich (with a side of Slaking) Well I'm back again still furthering my Battle Arena streak, with lots of bad luck and stupid losses as you'd expect. Today I'm updating with some new streaks going into the 200s as well as some testing with a new third...

On my emerald cartridge the BP bet guy is for battle tower singles, unmatched BP grinding lol

Why not basestat? That sounds really interesting too, makes you use weaker lower BST mons. Also maybe some NFE streaks? Might be interesting.

I like the idea of a team that tries to capitalize on the unique mechanics that the Arena offers. IMO Gengar is an S tier PKMN in the Arena, whether in an offensive role or a stall-oriented one like this. I think a fast sub user is amazing for this strategy, and Gengar is perfect for the role...

Going forward I'll just make an effort to make my write-ups detailed and in general I'll hit record when the streak reaches the higher numbers. That being said... Here is a streak reaching 199 I know there is lots of doubt about the 300+ streak, but I have no doubts that numbers like that...

Going forward, would I have to upload a long video like that to get my streaks verified? This one alone could've gone further but I lost due to my own error. I don't plan on recording every single streak I do, what would be the best way going forward?

Hi! The last streak was done on a different save, and ROM, I reset everything and then downloaded a new ROM to see about the "black square" glitch I was having. It's not the same save or even game file anymore lol. I can load up the ROM and save and take a screenshot if you want, but I'm more...

So here is one of my first few streaks on Emulator with the Lati-Sandwich team. 140-147: 154-161: 161-177(loss): Also quick note: Sometimes when Snorlax comes out for some reason I get this black square near the opponent health bar that usually lists Snorlax's moves. Don't know why this...

I only meant to say that unlike a facility that rewards setting up or stalling the opponent like in the Battle Tower, Arena is one that you're far more prone to lose to a team of 3 counters - considering switching is out of the picture. Really I meant to emphasize the effect that no switching...

Hi! First of all my apologies if I implied that this team was an original concept or thought up by me in it's basic form in any sense. This was seen and inspired by other teams and users I saw on this forum. When it comes to Latios being modest over Timid - my thinking around the team was...

You should give the team a try, even in an emulator it's very effective and I never had a streak that died before 100. I agree the Snorlax set is what lets this team shine in the Arena, being a facility where matchup is key and has much less to do with clever team composition and different...

Cheers! Streak-wise I don't really think it has as much to do with luck or hax as much as it does just not seeing certain matchups. This team and the Arena in general isn't really designed in such a way that bad luck is what beats you. Most of my streaks reach the 190-210 range with this one...

Lati-Sandwich Hello all, first time poster but long time reader. Always been a huge fan of the frontier and have played on my gen 3 GBA cartridges since I was a kid. Battle Tower has always been my favourite, but I was inspired by other posts on teams for the Battle Arena. I saw this same team...
