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.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 21st, 2006 3:31 AM

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.

HoundoomOfTheDarkness May 21st, 2006 7:51 AM

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!

Umm.. I have Toxic already thats like the best move to give a Shuckle. So alot of people are saying that I should get rid of Sludgebomb for Double team.

Smarties-chan May 21st, 2006 9:24 AM

No, don't get rid of Sludge Bomb for Double Team, get rid of it for Sandstorm. You might also consider Wrap over Substitute.

HoundoomOfTheDarkness May 22nd, 2006 11:29 AM

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!

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.

Or have both. What two Pokemon do you ordinarily use with your Shuckle? Good balance would probably require something with brutal attack force but little defense, and something medium. Salamence and... hmmm... not too many mediums out there... Anyone think of a well balanced stat Poke other than some legendaries (Mew comes to mind. Too bad it is outlawed at the Frontier. And why do all the rentals in the Battle Factory suck except the ones your opponent uses, and then you can't beat them to swap? Why am I going on and on in parenthesis?)?

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 23rd, 2006 3:46 PM

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~*!*~

shanecdavis May 24th, 2006 6:36 AM

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.

Razer302 May 24th, 2006 7:05 AM

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

HoundoomOfTheDarkness May 24th, 2006 1:35 PM

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.

shanecdavis May 24th, 2006 1:44 PM

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.

Okay thanks for the information. I'll try that.

HoundoomOfTheDarkness May 24th, 2006 7:33 PM

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.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 25th, 2006 3:17 AM

So what Pokemon should I compete with then:t201-qu:

:t094:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

Toothache May 25th, 2006 3:30 AM

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).

Meteordragon01 May 25th, 2006 11:05 AM

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.

shanecdavis May 25th, 2006 11:54 AM

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.

HoundoomOfTheDarkness May 26th, 2006 12:27 PM

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?

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ May 26th, 2006 4:04 PM

Okay I'll try these Pokemon. I will Open level them (Level 100) so they can sweep the opponets.
