BT Help Please...Using Team Rocket Elite Team..

[sandman423]

First I want to say this is the Best place for Pokemon Lovers...A Lot of Knowledgeable people and cool ideas...I Love some of Team Ideas. I have tried a few and they are fun to play...well anyways back to what I wanted to ask.

I have been playing through the Battle Tower for fun using this team...This is from smogon and the credit goes completely to Team Rocket Elite Member for this cool team...I tried it out to see if I could make my chain of wins a little higher...So I got up to the 27th fight and the first thing that comes out was a Jolteon which Owned my Gengar and My Whole team it had...

Iron Tail
Thunderbolt
Thunder Wave
(One Move I didn't get to see)

It completely owned me...I killed it with my Froslass and then I fought Electivire and it killed me with a Dynamic Punch to my Blissey and my Froslass...

How would I play against these things?? I always start out with gengar due to his speed and I usually start it off against physical sweepers to try out Gengars Counter on first move which usually works and then I destiny bond to kill the second poke...

I also ran into a Perish Song Jynx with Mean Look, Perish Song, Confuse Ray, and another Support move...I taunted her with Froslass which seemed to work really well...But what kind of strategy would I use against these Pokes in Battle Tower to get past that 27th Battle??

I am trying to figure out the strategy, I did what it said and switched out to Blissey when I Saw Jolteon but Iron Tail Killed my Blissey...It sucks that you can't choose to switch pokemon before the other opponents poke comes out like in real battle.

Please any recommendations on how to play against Jolteon, Electivire, Magmortir, also the dumb Perish Songers.

I think you should've just posted this in the Battle Tower thread...

This would have been much better in the RMT forum, though I haven't heard of Havak's Battle tower thread or w/e

Maybe part of the problem is with the IV's of the pokemon you're using. A few points may seem to not make a difference, but it's the contrary.

Sorry could someone move this thread?

I am just trying to get a few more tips. I don't think I use Blisseys full Potential and Why give Blissey Seismic Toss it was a pain to get on him...Whenever I use Seismic Toss it doesn't seem to do much damage to the opponents pokes.

 

[jujuomi]

That is because battle tower is level 50 right? You can't move a thread to another thread ;/

 

[sandman423]

Yeah Level 50...So should I rare Candy My Pokes to Level 100?? It wouldn't matter right in BT if they are 100 because It automatically makes your pokemon back to level 50...Do you get more of a boost in Stats if you have Level100 Pokes and enter them in the battle tower?

 

[Sudo]

No, they don't get a boost. Success boils down to good prediction (which can be eased by using the BT pokemon database). Just a question.. How did Electivire Dynamic Punch Froslass? >>
