Battle Fronteir
 
does anyone else find it nigh on impossible?
I was at the Battle Hall, using my suped up Mamoswine thats never lost any trainer battle and never ever fainted, and on my 30th battle (rank 10 against the water type), the trainer sent out a suicune :|. it was so hard, so i hate to think how hard the fronteir brain is at my 50th battle (if i ever get there :P)
anyone else think thats just a bit unfair?
we're not allowed legendaries :(.
the only place i can actually beat is the battle arcade (L).
any suggestions as how to get through this thing?

Two things :P Ev and Iv. If you ever heard of those, nevermind :P But what you really want is a Maxed Sp Atk Porygon-z :P Got me to the frontier brain on my 3rd try :P Make it hold a Life Orb, since Tri Attack practically defeats anything that doesn't resist it. Other than that, your good to go :P I may also recommend Bullet Punch Technician Scizor :P

Ryanniny May 27th, 2009 12:28 AM

thank youu
i think i'll go for scizor, i HATE porygon-z, porygon2 ftw :D.

Did you ever know that Mamoswine is Ground? And did you know that water is good on Ground? ...you might wanna take out a Torterra or something Grass or Electric. If its a Pikachu with Light Ball, sweeeeeeeeeeeeet...

yea i know, but mamoswine is strong against half of the types its weak to (fire<ground, grass<ice, steel<ground) and so its only really weak against fighting (which i'd cleared) and water (when they pulled suicune out on me).
It can deal with dark types (got rock smash), flying, fire, steel, rock, grass, dragon, ice, normal and electric (possibly more i cant remember all the types)
and you can't change your pokemon to suit the differnt types, you gotta use the same one.
so i figured it was the best choice and its well EV trained (i think, it won't take any more proteins etc)

but a suicine, before i'd even faced the fronteir brain for the 1st time, is a bit unfair :/

It's going to have to take on water-types at some point. Same goes for Torterra and feroceous ice-types.

Anyway, how can you expect rank 10 (the highest rank) water-type not to be Suicune? I mean, if I was going through that type, I'd most certainly plan for encountering one.

Impossible? Nah, you just need better strategy, effort values, independent values, etc. (also, if it wont take proteins, that means you hit the 100 max vitamins can supply, if you used ten, that is - not the max possible) Or if you're that confident in your Mamoswine, try again. *shrugs*

We can use legendary Pocket Monsters in the Hall and Frontier, just not completely unfair ones like Kyogre or Dialga. So they can too, nothing wrong there, you just have to prepare for it. :D How do you prepare? (check out the movesets)

I'll admit the Hall is one of the more difficult facilities, because one vs. 'em all is quite the task, but the prints are certainly achievable with the right amount of effort into it.

You need to make sure you have all your bases covered in the Battle Hall. The only Pokémon I have taken into the Battle Hall is my Ambipom. He can hit everything, including ghosts.

How can anyone say the hall is difficult? It's one of the easiest facilities ever. .-.

Ryanniny May 27th, 2009 12:41 PM

well i did, i was changing its moves and giving it berries to combat the super-effective moves.
it had ice beam, rock smash, earthquake & something else, maybe grass knot (i cant remember)
i just stood no chance against a stupid suicine.

Sketchies May 27th, 2009 12:52 PM

Because Suicune had a type-advantage over you...that's all.

Ryanniny May 27th, 2009 2:02 PM

the whole point in this thread was just to see if anyone else thinks its a bit unfair that legendaries are used against you before you've even got the silver print.

Sketchies May 27th, 2009 2:05 PM

Trios are usable in the Frontier. That means you can use them too.

So you're definitely cruising past the 200's already, eh? Early on, definitely. Later? Not so much.

"Unfair to use legendaries," as I mentioned earlier, nah. You can use them, why can't they? Before silver, yes, but you elected to go to the highest rank in that type so early. And it's best to prepare anyway~

Awesome. May 27th, 2009 2:43 PM

i think the battle frontier is easy, i already got 4 silver prints

Ryanniny May 28th, 2009 12:56 AM

i think i just suck at the battle hall.
battle hall i've got the gold print, and i've got the silver print for battle tower, battle factory & castle.
i hate the battle hall ;(.

i went against the types i was weak to first, so that i didnt get a huge win streak (100 or something) and then lose and be extremely disappointed and have to start all over again.

~Frozen Darkness~ May 28th, 2009 1:28 PM

Battle Hall was easy. Beat it on my first try with a Band-Chomp.
I hate the Factory most of all cuz the Pokemon you're given there are BS.
Even the Bullet Punch Scizor has an Impish Nature, which ruins it!

Thank you finally someone agrees with me about this stupid Battle Factory

anyways, I beat the Battle Hall with my Zapdos


:t354:TG

Gimmy May 30th, 2009 1:01 AM

Haha, the only one I can actually do is the Battle Factory. I'm one streak away from fighting Nejiki for the second time. I can't do the battle hall either. But I still think its fair to use legendaries because you too are allowd to use some of them. Oh well.

Haza May 30th, 2009 1:28 AM

I have beat all of them. I just need to beat Thorton and Magneta a second time and I will have all gold seals.
