    Salac berry is equal to 1/2 agility. Liechi is equal to 1/2 swords dance. Petaya is equal to growth. Meaning that (assuming no other buffs are used beforehead), a stat is multipled by 7/6... well you see, a modest alakazam activating petaya berry at lvl 100 means 369*1.1 = 406 sp.att already. With petaya berry, Alakazam now has 474 sp.attack.

    No one is thrilled about an Alakazam with 474 sp.attack... really...

    Salac berry usually gives a Pokemon enough of a speed boost to overcome most other Pokemon out in the field. A heracross after using endure will have their hp lowered to 1. Salac berry will be activiated to boost its speed above 310 (even faster if it's jolly). A speed of 310 is faster than Alakazam (if Alakazam doesn't have a personality bonus of speed), so really it's nothing to rejoice about if you're up against a freaky Pokemon who is ALMOST ALWAYS faster than you, using a STAB reversal at full power at all times. (salac berry is the only reason why quick attack is used nowadays...)

    I understand most of that but what do you mean a stat is multiplied by 7/6?

    It's just how a buff works... First of all there's 4 types of buffs. It can raise/drop by "1 level" or "2 level". A buff has a set ratio of 6/6. The denominator will not change, but the numerators will depending on the buff. For every level of stat increase, the numerator goes up by one. For every level of stat decrease, the numerator goes down by 1. So using a swords dance will upset the balance from 6/6 * attack power into 8/6 * attack power.

    (*Note: not sure if the scale is set at 7/7 or 6/6 to start with, but the increase and decrease thing within the numerator is certainly true)

    A berry will tip the numerator up by 1 everytime it's activated. That's how it works.

    it's called save, and reset if things go wrong...

    Plus this is, again, ingame, where high level with EV or not, will always win. Online battle however, you need all the stats you can get. (Plus there's unlimited access to TM/Move tutor/Egg move/items anyway)

    as if the streak is hard to get... crystal battle tower I can understand... but this one is quite a joke (they lost their freaky max stats advantage, so shouldn't be hard at all).

    Online battling does exist... it's called netbattle.

    Mu ultimate battle tower team is Blaziken, Swampert, and Sceptile with Charcoal, mystic water, and miracle seed respectfully. I go for raw power and strengths, rather than giving the opponent a chance to fight back.

    i give the opponent no chance, but i cant trade cuz no friends play, and i only have gameboyplayer and one game cart. so im stuck with only 1 ruby cart, and cant get all the guys.

    lol u were being sarcastic bout glalie right? cuz hes sick, and hailer? ...ummm hail stinks. berries stink its used once and its gone. then no item the rest the battles.
    boost items arent a big enuff help. im gonna stick with quickclaw white herb and leftovers and other helpful items like that.


    About the berries in the battle tower once used they can be used again in the next battle. So berries are useful in the battle tower. :D :D :D
