Reached 78 KOs in the Arena using a team of Gengar, Snorlax, and Latios which was based off of submenceisop's team. :rs/gengar: Gengar @ Lum Berry Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA, 6 SpD, 252 Spe Nature: Timid IVs: 15/30/2/31/22/27 Thunderbolt Ice Punch Fire Punch Destiny Bond Snorlax @...

Out of curiosity, do you mind posting the exact formula that is used to calculate the rankings if you know it?

I was really in the mood for Battle Frontier this weekend and I just cleared 357 rooms in the Battle Pike. The team is pretty standard and one that several others have used before. My loss was due to being absolutely demolished by a Heracross, which is a huge threat to this team. Even Modest...

Just got 30 wins in the Battle Dome with the same team as before, but with a better Gengar and Metagross. My loss was due to a very idiotic misplay. :rs/slaking: Slaking @ Choice Band Ability: Truant EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Atk / 252 Spe Nature: Adamant IVs: 28/24/30/8/17/28 Double-Edge Earthquake...

Does the 3 IV glitch in the Battle Dome apply to Tucker as well? Or only to regular trainers?

OMG I can't believe I never noticed the Trainer tab until you pointed it out just now. Thanks, this will be very helpful.

Got 68 KOs in the Arena with my new Lati Sandwich team. Was hoping to reach 70+ but at least it's 1 more than my previous run which used a different Lati Sandwich team. That team had Memento Latios and CurseLax whereas this one uses CM Latios and BoomLax which in my opinion is a bit stronger...

Is the Pike glitch safe to use? As in, is there any risk that it could corrupt your save file somehow if you did something wrong? (or leave it in a permanently compromised state) Watching the video, it looks a bit "dangerous" in that it temporarily corrupts entries in your party. Although I...

Totally agree with this assessment of the Arena. How good was Rest on Snorlax in your experience? Do you think it's better than Selfdestruct? (Also, spots #2 and #4 on the Open Level Arena leaderboard are both under my username)

I haven't had the time recently to finish playing through XD and get Selfdestruct on my Snorlax, so I instead decided to try out Luke Warm's original Lati Sandwich team that he made in this post. Took several tries after losing at 55 to Double Team + ChestoRest Metagross, but I managed to reach...

Thanks for providing the info on the Pyramid running mechanic and trainer distribution. It's something I've wondered for a long time. I think the worst floor you can spawn in is where there are unavoidable double battles near the entrance/exit. Fluffy Tails might be a bit better than Max Elixirs...

Argh! Just lost at battle 55 in the Arena with the Lati Sandwich team to ChestoRest + Double Team Metagross. It took down my entire team thanks to multiple Double Team misses alongside Rest which allowed it to win Skill + Body in judging. This just reminded me how brutal the Arena can be...

Did a couple runs at the Arena. I'm playing mostly for fun, so my pokemon's natures and IVs are suboptimal. I'll probably be trying the Lati Sandwich team next. (that is once I finish a playthrough of XD for the Selfdestruct move tutor) Hopefully I can at least break 60 KOs next time. Team 1...

When I made the initial reply commenting on how insanely lucky you would have to be to reach 313 regardless of what team you use, I didn't want to come off as too accusatory and jump to conclusions especially since I haven't played the Arena in a long time. But yes, I definitely shared the same...

Thanks for the insight, I think that makes a lot of sense. I just noticed that your profile has replaced Golden Blissey on the front page. Are you planning on taking over the record updates? Nice! Glad to see someone using the Lati Sandwich team. That was actually what I was planning on doing...
