for those who were successful on defeating Ghetsis, what was your strategy and what made you successful?

what I did was I went into battle with 20 revives, and 15 hyper potions, about three different times I had to do what I called "Sacrificing Pokemon" when I was down to one or two Pokemon remaining, I just used the one I had out, and just kept reviving my other Pokemon while that was out and just let Ghetsis's Pokemon hit it and each time it was my turn I took my turn reviving a Pokemon, when I was down to 3 revives, I saw what was his next, I said outloud to my self, "I am going to sarcrifce him to bring out this (a Pokemon his was weak to) I ran out of hyper potions and revives, the battle was real close, it was neck and neck, if it weren't for Ghetsis's last move being my Pokemon avoided it, I might have lost...


interesting story, huh... tell me yours, I'd like to hear it...

I borrowed some lvl 100 from my friend, wiped the floor with all of them.

Funny, I actually used that exact same strategy on cynthia's garchomp in pearl. I was going back and forth between my infernape and my palkia. Took at least an hour before she gave me an opening(namely, making garchomp use giga impact). Then I wiped her.garchomp out with spacial rend.

Oh God I really can't remember the first time I took on Ghetsis (march...? wow that's aaages).

And I know I only took on Ghetsis on Black like a month or so ago, sooo let's see. Honestly I think I used dragon breath on Zekrom, then sent out Scrafty iirc with Moxie so it kinda could defeat everything else easily. Audino and the others weren't really much use back then. XD;

Ghetsis never proved to be an issue for me surprisingly, though.

I play in an emulator, so I save slot during battle, in case I lose somehow, I load again :P haha! And the way Save Slots work are different than In-game saves, if you have no idea about Emulators, I can't really explain...srry

My strategy was to train stronger Pokémon than his and then just sweep him. Simple.

I just fought him, and actually beat him in one attempt. I had many Full Restores and Revives, and a Balance Leveled Team.

Grind, grind, grind.

Just went for an all-out offense and revived my team if necessary. I usually don't do much other than that since (in my opinion) the games aren't hard enough to require more in-depth strategies.

Since I wanted all my Pokemon to participate in the battle, I was planning on using 1 each of my Pokemon against 1 each of Ghetsis' Pokemon (i.e. having Reshiram battling Cohagrigus and Excadrill battling Bisharp). But that didn't really work out because Haxorus was taken down by Bouffalant while Samurott was defeated by Hydreigon. But I managed to pull through in the end, even though not all my Pokemon gained EXP during the battle.

The rest of his team was easy. It was that cheating Hydreigon that gave me so much trouble. My "strategy" was to lose once, heal, spend my entire wallet on items, save beforehand, and PRAY that it wouldn't kill my team faster than I could revive Reshiram.

Um...
My stratergy was one-to-one.
Until I forgot that eelektross has levitate and left my pendoraa out.
So it took nine turns to finish his team, rather than seven, because I had to switch because I'm an idiot.
Confrigarius vs chandelure, buffoulant vs misenshao, seismitoad vs serperior, bisharp vs pendoraa, eelektross vs pendoraa then carracosta, sanzadoraa vs ononokusu.

Grinding is the key, really.
I didn't even realise that the sanzadoraa was supposed to be the bane of my existence until I looked at the internet later. OHKO's all round, save for the eel.
(or was that ten turns... ? Did I have Seienryuu at the front and have to switch to Dichou for the first move? *can't remember* Whatever)

I used Pokemon that were strong against his. I didn't train their levels higher than Ghetsis'.

Blunt force trauma. I just used type advantages and duked it out with each of his Pokemon.

A diverse team, careful swapping out of Pokemon and... being at Lv65. Sure, it took a lot of level grinding, but it was worth it... Ghetsis went down quite easily when I battled him. Poor guy didn't stand a chance :P

Archeops took care of Hydreigon with Dragon Claw and I just used Golurk to stall against Bouffalant. Everyone else was cake.

I don't entirely recall what happened in the battle, but I basically just overpowered him and made sure to use type advantages lol. Nothing special I suppose. :P

My usual strategy: be several levels higher than my opponent and unleash hell with type advantage. Ghestis didn't really give me much trouble; I had a full team of level 60s by that point (excluding Reshiram) and I destroyed his Hydreigon fairly easily. I was actually a little worried about it, but it didn't really prove to be much of a challenge...Marshal gave me more trouble than Ghestis did, actually.

My evil master plan...muahaha...

*borrows friend's Level 100 Landorus*
*destroys Ghetsis*

I actually kind of regret it now. With just a little more training, my team could have beaten him easily. I was just too impatient..*sigh*
