Battle Frontier Discussion
Umm... can someone sticky this because this is a main part of the game and stuff and this thread can cut down on alot of Battle frontier threads.
Anyways I currently still have 4 gold symbols all of the silver I really think that the Battle frontier is too hard. I've been stck like this for 6 months :t094:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~ |
i've been trying the battle frontier for a while.. and I still haven't got anywhere.. any advice?
|
I will sticky this thread because I think you have a point on how need it is. This thread is for discussion over the Battle Frontier. Keep questions in Simple Questions!
STICKY |
Battle Frontier advice: I'm not the greatest, but I have all the silver symbols. Basically, you need strong attacks. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FIGHTING TYPE!!! Or at least a physically strong Pokemon with fighting moves. Otherwise you will be done in by Chansey and Blissey. How humiliating.
|
Thank you The Hunk my first sticky.
Anyways I've always had a Shuckle with the following moves *Toxic *Sludgebomb *Protect *Subsitute Well thats how I got most of my symbols. :t094:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~ |
Queen Boo, for your Shuckle you might consider replacing Sludge Bomb with Toxic. Shuckle's pitiful attack power kind of makes any directly damaging attack worthless. I have a Houndoom specifically for the Battle Frontier, especially the Arena. It has Sunny Day, Fire Blast, Solarbeam, and Hyper Beam. I accidentally used it in Open Level once (it's level 50) and a non Sunny Dayed Fire Blast stopped most level 60s in one shot! I love you, brute attack power!

No, don't get rid of Sludge Bomb for Double Team, get rid of it for Sandstorm. You might also consider Wrap over Substitute.
|
Oh... sorry. I didn't notice. I just noticed Sludge Bomb. I also didn't notice that you had 4 gold symbols. I don't have any gold symbols at all! And I've been stuck that way longer than you've had 4 Gold Symbols!

Its that I want to torcher the Pokemon by using subsistute and then protect and then Toxic, well thats my plan and thats how I got 4 gold and 7 silver symbols. :t094:~*!*~queen Boo~*!*~ |
That is still way too much set up in BF, and that is probably why you haven't advanced any further. Defense is good, but overdoing it like can make it last longer than it needs to and you will usually end up on the other end of the battle. Ditch the Shuckster for a Poke that has good defense, but can actually attack as well.

Well I usually use a Pokemon with bad attack (Shuckle and Umbreon) and some Pokemon with very good attack and special attack (Charizard and Espeon) my team is balanced out. But thats not all of them. Well in the battle Factory I had a shuckle with Toxic, Double team, Wrap and Sandstorm. those were horrible move though
:t093:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~ |
That is where you have a problem. Every Poke you use should have good attacks. Again, you are emphasizing too much on defense. While defense is always a good thing, too much of it is going to be counter-productive. You still need a way to defeat your opponent.

I Am Training Jolteon For Lv 50
Jolteon Lvl 34 Timid Need Item Ev Spa 105 Speed 130 Thunder Wave Thundershock Thunderbolt Helping Hand I Need 2 Pokemon To Go With It And More Moves Instead Of Thunder Shock And Thunder Wave |
Note to self: Always have a ground type. Or else something with ground moves. Lest you die by Electric types. Why must they only have one weakness? Speaking of weaknesses: if Sableye could learn skill swap, and used it on Shedinja, it would be invincible!!! I bet I could sort of make that work!!! *Coughskillswapswitchoutsableyeskillswapinvinciblecough*. Excuse me.
|
Actually it wouldn't be invincible. Your Sableye would still be succeptable to non-direct damage, ala Toxic or Will-O-Wisp or the like.

Shanecdavis, I know what you mean by indirect damage, but I meant stuff like Fire Blast that do serious ammounts of damage instead of annoying slow effects. Never underestimate the slow effects though. I fought my first Shedinja in the Battle Tower on Sapphire. It sucked and couldn't kill my Latias, but I couldn't beat it either, no Super Effectives or slowkillers. Eventually it killed itself with Struggle. Never use Tyranitar on a team with a Shedinja. Sand Stream=bye bye Shedinja.
|
So what Pokemon should I compete with then:t201-qu:
:t094:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~ |
I usually use:
1 fast physical sweeper (Heracross) 1 fast special sweeper (Zapdos) 1 tankish/defensive (Suicune) Between the three of them, I've got nearly all the Silver Symbols (just missing the Battle Tower one), and 1 Gold Symbol (Tactics). |
I know a website that tells you the requirements for getting all the gold and silver metals.
http://www.serebii.net/emerald/frontier.shtml Just click on the names of the areas in the battle frontier,go near the bottom, and it should show you the requirements for getting the silver and gold badges. If this link doesnt work for any reason, try this one. http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml Go to the video games section on the side, and click Emerald. Then find the words "battle frontier" and click on it. |
Toothache is right on, as usual. Typically you cannot go wrong with that format. Two sweepers (physical and special) and a bulky water. Personally, I go with Aerodactyl, Gengar, and Swampert.
|
I use a Houndoom. All the time. It has brutish attack power and it is my best friend in the Battle Arena. *Turns on Gameboy Advance SP and tries to find Pokemon that could be good with Houndoom.* Someone complete this team, help me please. (No get new nature remarks please.)
Houndoom (Item Needed) Fire Blast Solarbeam Hyper Beam Sunny Day Metagross (Item Needed) (High Attack Power) Earthquake Brick Break Meteor Mash Double Edge All I know is that it either a) has to be flying type or b) has to have Levitate. Gyarados? |
Okay I'll try these Pokemon. I will Open level them (Level 100) so they can sweep the opponets.
