    Gen III Battle Frontier Discussion and Records

    Thanks so much for this, really great work. The top 2-tiebreaker theory isn't right because I've been in the bottom right quite a bit in Dome Doubles, but I was definitely using a team with a lower BST, which is what made me think that the Bulbapedia theory was right. If you're always #1, then...

    If I can count right, Metagross/Gengar/Latios has a BST in aggregate of 1700. How do you deal with battles in which you don't win the tie? Is it just 'luck' that you don't need to tie them?

    Gen III Battle Frontier Discussion and Records

    I don't have an emulator to play on so I can't really do any independent testing. It would be interesting if you re-tried this test again against a few different opponents, as that might add some evidence. Some basic thinking suggests that the Bulbapedia method must be flawed if the CPU always...

    Had another go at the Palace with this team and did slightly better. Battle Palace Doubles Lv. 50 - 55 Streak (ended) Exactly the same team as before.

    Gen III Battle Frontier Discussion and Records

    Thank you! The only thing I found frustrating from a nature perspective is the -SpA on Latias, which really leaves it underpowered. Thankfully this is less of an issue in the Palace than elsewhere because you usually get quite a few turns to hit with, and the AI doesn't reliably recover its HP...

    I've moved on from the Factory and put in some time to actually train my own team instead of sponging from the AI, so I'm announcing: Battle Palace Doubles Lv. 50 - 47 Streak (ended) Very happy with how this went and if I can find time, I may try to push it out longer or make...

    Quick update to my Battle Factory streaks: Battle Factory Doubles Open Level - 36 Streak (ended) Went back to Doubles and managed to break my record. I won't go into as much detail as in my last post, but some brief highlights: Round 1 didn't make any notes but swapped 7 times Round 2...

    Gen III Battle Frontier Discussion and Records

    Hi everyone, this is my first post in the Gen III battle frontier discussion thread but I have been lurking since before Christmas (both here and in the Discord). I haven't got a ton of time for training on the Gen 3 games although I'd like to do more. But, I have got time for the occasional go...

    SwSh Battle Facilities Discussion & Records

    Not a huge addition to what's already been posted but I've got unbeaten 100 streaks on both Singles and Doubles Ubers (wanted to get it done now in case the expansions change the way the Tower works). Due to wanting BP and rewards primarily (Bottle Caps), I just made a simple hyper offence team...

    First OU Team for years

    Noted. Do you think it will hurt its Final Gambit? I rarely use it, I suppose, but is it still worth including the move if it's got much less HP?
