Has anyone battled Palmer?
 
I never have T.T

Was he hard to beat for anyone else?

Tyrantrum February 27th, 2009 3:43 PM

I got bored and decided to goto the battle tower. What surprised me is that I actually faced Palmer. o.O

First time EVER. I lost. But it was REALLY cool. :)

balkj06 February 27th, 2009 4:49 PM

Plamer was easy as I won with my Emopleoan and Dragonite,

To Write Love On Her Arms February 27th, 2009 4:57 PM

I versed him both times and he was easy, since I got up to 94 on the battle tower then lost to a drifblim </3

Espeon Master February 27th, 2009 5:15 PM

I've battled Palmer and won. He's tough, but not awful.

Palmer is the person in charge of the battle tower, also know as the frontier brain. He is also *insert rivals name here* dad. He is a tough opponent which you battle after having 21 and then 49 consecutive wins in the battle tower.

Although I have never battled him.

EDIT: Maybe a strategy for battling his Milotic is to use Taunt on it, to prevent hypnosis and recover.

Clouddyl February 27th, 2009 6:30 PM

I battled him, totally unprepared, Had like, Ampharos, Typhlosion and Misdreavous.

Lost to hIs second pokemon^^

Curt_09 February 27th, 2009 6:39 PM

I battled him and lost twice, coming within inches of defeating his Milotic.
Went in prepared the third time, owned.
Still haven't faced him the second time (49th consecutive battle)

Forci Stikane February 28th, 2009 6:37 AM

I actually just battled him a couple of days ago. Like .Pichu-kun, I had forgotten that he was going to show up and, being completely unprepared, lost to his final Pokemon. The second time, I knew what was to come and defeated him easily, although he somewhat helped me in this regard by switching the order of his team.

Melodyfree February 28th, 2009 6:59 AM

Challenged him twice. Lost both times. Now I'm training up a new team just to challenge him again. I don't intend to lose again.

masterfun101 February 28th, 2009 7:35 AM

NO
 
No. I never even go to the battle tower.

RAcastBlaster February 28th, 2009 10:13 AM

My [in game] Roserade destroyed him with Sleep Powder, Giga Drain, Shadow Ball, and Petal Dance. I got quite lucky though XD.

I've never gotten much past the first battle with him though, sadly.

I fought his first battle a second time with Articuno [Mind reader + Sheer Cold, Roost, Ice Beam XD], Metagross [Agiligross], Starmie [lead w/ Life Orb]. He went down real quick like... except that Milotic!

But as a rule:
Rhyperior is a wimp
Dragonite will give you a problem if you don't get lucky or don't have something with Ice Beam
Milotic is EVIL

Haza February 28th, 2009 10:16 AM

He is easy to me. First time and second. The fisrst time I got to him though I was surprised m=by some of his Rhyperiors' moves though. Second time he is screwed because his Regigigas sucks.

Nnoitra Jiruga February 28th, 2009 10:26 AM

He's was tough, but not THAT tough.
I beat him with my Froslass, Weavile, and Honchkrow. 8 DD

Evilyn February 28th, 2009 10:34 AM

Oh yes, many times infact. Both, on the 21st and 49th consecutive battle. The 21st battle is fairly easy for me, unless he starts off with Milotic and spams Hypnosis and Hydro Pump at me at the beginning of the battle. Otherwise it takes me something around 2-3 minuts to beat him. On the 49th consecutive battle it is a little more complicated to beat him, but it still goes somehow. Personally, I think it's harder to win enough battles to just get to him and to even get a chance to battle him than actually battling him. :/

JustinDestruction February 28th, 2009 11:41 AM

I've beaten him twice. I'm on a 77 win streak, but I haven't done anything with the battle tower in a while.

Johto's Best February 28th, 2009 1:04 PM

Wait, Palmer is his dad? I thought it was his older brother! Damn...I feel dumb now.

jigglyppuff8 February 28th, 2009 1:07 PM

Yes. Beat him both times. For me, he's easier the second time for me because he doesn't have that darned Milotic.

nssfleahedgehog February 28th, 2009 5:01 PM

I've fought him twice (both times after my 21st consecutive battle), and somehow beat him both times. It was miraculous coming from me! Of course, I don't remember how I did it, but at least I did it.

J-Rad February 28th, 2009 5:10 PM

Easy, all you need are a couple of EV trained pokes and know what you're doing...

X-626 February 28th, 2009 5:20 PM

I've only fought him once. He was tough, but I somehow won. I almost made it to him the second time. I had 40-something consecutive wins, and I ended up losing. I may end up trying it again.

Draknir February 28th, 2009 5:30 PM

Why yes I have.

It took two EV'd Pokemon, however, to beat him.

groudonlover March 1st, 2009 1:27 AM

Yep, and he was pretty easy *_*
I was pretty surprised when his Milotic started using Hypnosis(i have Egg-moved my Milotic to learn it, Spinda -> Psyduck -> Feebas on Ruby), but it was 2HKO-ed by my Salamence's Thunder Fang, then Dragonite OHKO with Milotic's Ice Beam, Rhyperior with Breloom's Seed Bomb and a Giga Drain :P

Pretty much the easiest "boss" in the whole game xD(Roark was harder!)

Archer March 1st, 2009 2:16 AM

Umbreon Slept and cut the stats of the lead and gave NPApe a Sub to set up from behind. 3-0 Sweep.
