So, with the Hoenn remakes coming out, due to the fact that I don't have anything better to do, and I won't be able to hatch shinies for a while because reasons, I'll try to obtain every ribbon from the 4th generation onwards with a single pokemon. I'm having some problems planning how to get the Super Contest ribbons, however.
The main one is deciding which pokemon to use, because I have zero Contest experience. I suppose it would have to be something that is both strong enough to carry his weight on the battle tower and has a massive movepool, to be able to choose moves from all categories, but I also wanted a pokemon that I breeded myself, so legendaries are a no go (I.E., no Mew). It would also be nice to use something that won't be only a trophy afterwards due to missing something vital from another generation (E.G. nidoking/queen without sheer force is horrible, but Linoone has some nice utility in pickup). I'm not above using rage glitch egg moves or any other trick avaliable in-game either if necessary, as long as it doesn't render the pokemon incompatible with pokebank.
I thought about using a tyranitar to do it, but I have no idea where to start. I suppose I have to get all five scarfs using five other pokemon, plan a poffin build that get high stats all around, get a crapton of accessories, and then rise up to master rank one category at a time, changing the moveset each time I enter a new category. The specifcs are all fuzzy and I would like any and all advice.
If you have tips on obtaining any other ribbons that may be userfull, please tell me too, specially about the HG/SS' Battle Tower.
Thanks in advance. o/
