The Annoying Rollout January 22nd, 2016 4:15 AM

Have you conquered the Battle Frontier?
 
I was too close on beating Noland.Having a battle with Rental 'Mons with him was challenging.Conquering the other facilities was hard af.The Battle Palace was the hardest.Because you'll just stand there and watch pokemon battle(Which I found BORING).

I think that's it.What's your opinion?

It took me over 5 years to complete Battle Frontier, first because the difficulties and secondly I was busy. But boy, that Gold Trainer card. -whistle- It's all worth it and of course I love the faciities. :P

Hikamaru January 23rd, 2016 2:09 AM

I never got a real chance to do Emerald's Battle Frontier, since my brother stole the game from me and kept it for himself. If I ever had the chance I would have definitely restarted and gone through my own playthrough, but maybe I might not want to play a Hoenn game for a while given I've been focused on Alpha Sapphire.

I remember getting all the Silver symbols way back in 2005, and the Gold symbol for the Pyramid, but I lost that copy. Even since getting a new copy, I never put in any effort to try to get the rest of them.

Ammako January 23rd, 2016 11:37 AM

I've only ever really gotten the silver symbol for the Battle Pike. There was a point where I got the one for Battle Dome too, though.

Brendino April 24th, 2016 12:53 AM

I still feel bad that I never really put enough effort into beating the Battle Frontier facilities. I think I made it to the very end of the Pike, Dome, and Pyramid a handful of times, but got defeated challenging the leaders. If I ever get my hands on a copy of Emerald again, I'll make it my mission to get through at least one of the facilites, and go on from there.

Itcheeee April 24th, 2016 11:19 AM

I only beat one so far, only thing keeping my team stuck on my Emerald :P Will get to it soon hopefully.

Valezio July 22nd, 2016 12:31 AM

Battle Frontier was... more than challenging. I had to conquer it. After a lot of time searching and finding the right team for me to use and fit for such a a challenge... i actually did. I acquired every one battle symbol. My team for Battle Frontier was mostly consisted of Dragonite, Metagross, Latios and Swampert.

Lunar July 22nd, 2016 2:30 AM

I remember in my original save I managed to defeat the leaders of the Pike, Factory and Pyramid, that was super tough and it was only three of them...

PankajBlitz July 22nd, 2016 7:20 AM

With proudly I can say YES.

It took me 2 months though. Defeating the place where we are not able to select the move was EXTREMELY NUTS!!!

The proof of what I told you.

The last time I checked, I was still struggling with the Battle Pyramid and the Battle Factory. For some reason I never got the hang of using the rental mons and the Pyramid is soooo hard, especially with not having items and such.. I always end up losing my Pokemon and I don't think I've ever made it to the top and even challenged the Frontier Brain, haha

Took me soooo long to defeat Lucy, I remember her being so annoying. I think my Pokemon would end up getting poisoned and would faint, leaving me with less than 3. Not really sure, though, and I think I got her in the end.

I loved the Battle Frontier in the fact that it bought more tough challenges post-Elite Four. I only recall beating the Battle Pike, and the Battle Dome. I believe before I lost my copy, I was in the middle of getting to the top of the Battle Pyramid. I would love to eventually get myself a Gold Trainer Card though XD

Saintscrew7 October 23rd, 2016 9:09 PM

Yup... I did... Hard as... Hard. But all seven gold simbols are mine...

Centipede Chan October 23rd, 2016 9:10 PM

I have an emulated playthrough of Emerald, since I never owned it. So far it's great, but it's been a long while since I played it.

Gandhi Savage October 24th, 2016 6:10 AM

The only one I have ever been able to beat was the Battle Pike! I was a massive fan of the format of it and I thought it was very fun. I had no Pokémon ready for battle though which perhaps explains why I wasn't too great for the rest! I loved the Battle Factory but I'd always swap out for Pokémon like Bayleef and stuff that I did not need haha.


Degurchaff October 24th, 2016 2:47 PM

I have never completed the Battle frontier in Pokemon emerald It was waaay too hard for me
at the point of time The only place i really tried though was the Battle Pike with only my Sceptile i got to Lucy but i lost almost instantly.

BlazingCobaltX December 3rd, 2016 10:53 AM

I've only ever been able to beat Lucy, but still never further than Silver symbol. My plan is to try and get all Gold symbols, but that's not gonna happen anytime soon.

CelticsPhan December 3rd, 2016 5:14 PM

On my cartridge, the best I could do was Silver Symbols in everything but the Battle Pyramid.

On my emulated Emerald, I made perfect IV Pokemon and won all Gold Symbols with Metagross, Suicune and Latios.

mikey January 8th, 2017 9:31 AM

I never really took the Battle Frontier as seriously as I should have, because now I miss it.

The only Frontier Brain I ever battled was Lucy, and I lost. So I never really came close to conquering the Battle Frontier haha.

JayTheKing January 9th, 2017 12:01 PM

I recently started to conquer it after maaaany(8 specifically) years of owning emerald.
I am trying to complete it with pokemon anyone can get if they are playing emerald, which means:
  • no pokemon that evolve only with trades(alakazam,gengar etc.),
  • no pokemon unavailable in the wild in emerald(Leafgreen,firered,ruby,saph exlusive mons not allowed),
  • no choice based pokemon(latios/latias,torchic/mudkip/treecko)
  • no time exclusive mons(glalie,surskit)

I never had someone who had a second gameboy and another emerald to help me trade so I wanted to do it with the aforementioned rules.

Is it doable?...Well, Maven's gold symbol and Greta's silver proves that it probably is!

What Pokemon did you use? I bred a Salamence, Snorlax and beat Colosseum for a bold Suicune. They seem to do decent at the tower. But the game either outskills me, cheats or I make a dumb mistake. I can easily clear 100 wins in Sapphire/Ruby with my team though.

LegendChu January 10th, 2017 11:56 PM

I can proudly say that although it took a while, yes I have all the Gold Symbols ^^. But its a very annoying place though tbqh, especially places like The Battle Palace, where u cannot command ur Pokemon (or use items from the Bag) or The Battle Pike, which is completely based on luck (those annoying status-inflicting Ralts & Dusclops >:().

Pika Pika :chu:

Battle Palace Silver:
Salamence/Sassy/Lum Berry
Evs:4 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed
-EQ
-Rock Slide
-Aerial Ace
-Brick Break

Starmie/Sassy/Leftovers
Evs:4HP/252 SpAtck/252 Speed
-TBolt
-IceBeam
-Psychic
-Surf

Gardevoir/Timid/Choice Band(NOT the best option as an item,maybe Brightpowder would be better)
Evs:20 HP/252 SpAtck/236 Speed
-Psychic
-TBolt
-Calm Mind
-Will-o-Wisp

Salamence and Starmie will do the heavy hitting,Sassy because it allows them to use mostly Offensive moves

For Gold I swap Gardevoir with Registeel
Registeel/Relaxed/Aspear Berry
EVs:252 HP/4 Def/252 SpDef
-Toxic
-Protect
(Only 2 moves also max out Protect's PP)

Registeel is for Suicune.Also this Registeel had 0 IVs in both Def and SpDef and survived Suicune.And Relaxed so it will most likely hit with toxic first

Battle Arena Silver

The same Salamence(with Brightpowder though) and Starmie +
Houndoom/Timid/Lum Berry
Flamethrower
Taunt
Crunch
Will-O-Wisp

Houndoom is to taunt umbreon

Emerald has my favourite Battle Frontier and honestly it's one of the best parts of Hoenn for me
