I'm not going to cast a vote on Gengar's tiering as I have no intention of doing a run with it again, but I do want to comment on some stuff that was posted over the last few pages. Reading the Gengar logs, it's pretty clear that Gengar is overall great to the point where it would be hard to...

I would also argue that the timing of when pe5e added their Pokemon to the team possibly also influenced things. Assuming Zubat/Golbat (which wasn't formally tested in that run) was added later on and not when it first becomes available in Dark Cave, the team does front-load its experience...

The only "notable" difference between Silver and Crystal Ledyba is availability options: in Crystal, you can catch Ledian fully evolved on Route 37. I can say from personal experience that using Ledyba early game is a huge chore because it's just so weak in its unevolved state, and mostly...

I have updated the thread. Please let me know if I've made any mistakes and I'll fix them. ANNOUNCEMENT I am now officially going to allow for emulator streaks to be listed on the leaderboards. This has been a long time coming. I have resisted allowing emulators for reasons I've explained...

I posted some stuff about this in this thread years ago but from my observations you can only see the following sets in Round 1 of level 50: Aipom-1, Anorith-1, Ariados-1, Aron-1, Azumarill-1, Bayleef-1, Beautifly-1, Beedrill-1, Butterfree-1, Cacnea-1, Charmeleon-1, Chinchou-1, Clamperl-1...

Updated to here I believe. Let me know if I made any errors. Nice to see some stuff in more "obscure" modes being posted here. QuentinQuonce I decided to post your multi write-up in the main post as a guide as well, since I think the information re: team selection is really nicely written and...

I have updated the thread. Please let me know if you spot any mistakes. I'm still playing Hall mostly. I've recently achieved 170+ streaks with Absol and Aerodactyl and am currently working on my next project: the Aggron family.

Natures of Battle Tower Pokemon in DP are random. While the sets technically have defined natures, the game does some weird thing in the background in an attempt to prevent shiny Pokemon from appearing that results in the nature being overridden (this feature was removed in PtHGSS so shiny...

The general consensus is that level 50 is easier in the long-run, although it definitely has a harder Thorton1 fight and a few other difficulty spikes, and I think if you are trying to decide which mode to play and relying on "difficulty" as the main deciding factory, Level 50 is probably the...

I have updated the thread to here, let me know if I screwed up, etc. I don't have any new records that I'm ready to write-up properly just yet, but I did get 241 with this in the tower: Garchomp @ Focus Sash, Jolly 252/252, Outrage/Earthquake/Swords Dance/Substitute Metagross @ Lum Berry...

Yeah I'm also a little skeptical about Slowthings being tiered differently. It seems to be based on the premise that using Slowpoke early-game (prior to the post-Strength backtrack) is worth it, but based on the logs I'm not entirely convinced. All I'm seeing is a slow Curse sweep on Bugsy...

Regarding the Slowking/Slowbro discussion, can I ask how long you guys spent grinding your Slowpokes before sending them in against Bugsy?

All links to legacy records and resources should be restored now.

Thread updated. ANNOUNCEMENT: some of you may have already noticed that most of the links in the records lists are currently not working properly. Due to Smogon's Admins purging and review of the Greatest Hits archive (which is where Peterko's old 4th gen threads was located), any records and...

These are the 14 (!) sets I used to get to 170 (technically 15 but that was just because of a single move change on one set): Level 40 | Lonely | Focus Sash | Blizzard | Earthquake | Protect | Outrage | 252Atk/132SpD/76Spe (Fire/Dragon) Level 40 | Rash | Focus Sash | Earthquake | HP Fire |...

Welcome. I have never attempted to build a team with Rhyperior on it, let alone used it, but in singles I imagine it would be a difficult Pokemon to use and probably something I would not recommend. Rhyperior obviously packs a ton of potential power, but it has several awful weaknesses that...

An update on my own streaks: Battle Hall Battle Hall has been my main focus recently. I have tried out a few things as part of my road to 10k (and beyond?) project and have achieved a total of 6774 wins in singles across all the species I've tried so far. Specific streak lengths...

I updated the thread last weekend. Announcement: with these new streaks that have been posted since my last update, I have felt the need to reconsider some of the rules in place for streaks to be eligible for listing in the first post. I have tentatively decided to relax the rule banning...

Updated to here (finally...).

Added. The Whiscash/Gastrodon match-up is one of the match-ups I mentioned earlier in this thread when atem posted their 270+ streak (using the exact same set you're using) and yeah unfortunately it's a poor match-up for Raikou. The "solution" would be to run HP Grass I guess but then you...
