    Didn't know they fixed in this Emerald, everyday's a school day. Yeah this Latios looks quite good all things considered

    RNG manip is, in my opinion, totally the way to go. Yes it takes more time initially, but once you get the hang of it, it doesn't end up taking very long and you get stronger mons, which sometimes makes a big difference. Plus it's kinda fun. For Latios, I would compare your Latios' stats against...

    I don't think you should limit yourself to only 3 mons, and instead spend your time getting a few select Pokemon, even if the stats aren't as good. Getting a beneficial nature with 2 perfect IVs shouldn't be too bad, and if you train the mons all at once, it goes way faster. For example, you can...

    To be clear, I'm not trying to sneak a fast one by anyone, just genuinely curious about some of the rules. I've only ever used Pokemon that I have personally legitimately obtained, but once I get the Gold Shield I plan on using some bank of hoenn pokemon. Like using the duplication glitch seems...

    Do your Pokemon have to be legally obtained to be used in streaks, or just legal in terms of it's possible to obtain them? Sometimes I see people be like "I need to change the team to have HP Ice Zapdos instead" and I'm curious if that means they just edit it, or playthrough a game to RNG a...

    ok after further code inspection this is true, the line using the factory win streak is never used, thanks

    I made a video explaining some uses of Frontier Assistant 2, why it's more helpful than the spreadsheets and some new decision support that it can provide that its predecessors cannot. Let me know if you have any questions, link here: Also I did notice there's technically a bug based on a...

    I actually didn't know that about roar/whirlwind sets so that makes a lot more sense. This team style is one I haven't really used since it relies on having Substitute on pretty much all 3 mons and I play on emulator so it's kind of a pain. Glad I learned this so I don't end up having a boosted...

    Great team, lot of time and effort put in. I feel like the dugtrio sceptile speed tier is somewhat important, why was it you didn't want to move EVs? Anyway I think the style of stallers plus one setup sweeper is the defacto way to go in the tower, and Latios is unquestionably the best Pokemon...

    Hey guys! I've been working on something for a while and I think it's finally time to show it off, introducing... FRONTIER ASSISTANT 2! Inspired by Actaeon's landmark tool, I've redone the tool from the bottom up with all kinds of new features and fixes. While a full list of changes is on the...

    does someone have evidence about the IV glitch working for the factory? I thought it was just the dome, but I also remember hearing about the factory too. and how the hell does that palace team work? you auto lose to steelix. curious to hear how you got that so far.

    After many years I am happy to do a post with my gold symbol announcement! You can skip the fluff and get to the good stuff if you want, but I'd like to start with a little about me: Going in order I completed them in, keeping in mind all streaks are on Retail, and currently Ongoing unless...

    I like reading this a lot, way better than watching a 2 hour video with long pauses as people make decisions. Also wanted to catch that you listed Endure as having a 1/3 chance of working the second turn you use it- judging by the fact you mixed up some other gen 3 mechanics, I think you may...

    this is helpful, thanks. I did find success as is with a few more attempts. I ended with tspoon but brightpowder was something else I considered. Also curious maybe you or someone else could help me with this, but what's the IV glitch again? Something about failing in the battle tower makes the...

    That is in fact illegal, not sure how that didn't get caught
