Okay I'm getting bored hatching 1000+ eggs, trying to get Pokemon ready for D/P, so I'd figure I should have a little fun while I can. That, along with the account that some Movesets that I came up with for some Pokemon require me to teach the moves on Emerald before sending them over, so uh, yeah.

Anyway, here's some stuff might use in the Battle Frontier. (I have 4/7 symbols, but I just want to do another team)

Kingdra (M) ** Hydros @ Lum Berry
Ability: Swift Swim
Nature: Modest (+SAtk, -Atk)
EVs: 252 HP / 20 Spd / 232 SAtk
- Surf / Hydro Pump
- Rain Dance
- Ice Beam
- Dragonbreath / Rest
Need a little help deciding between Dragonbreath and Rest, since Dragonbreath does crap, but still gets a STAB Boost. This is my Special Sweeper.

Dragonite (M) ** Lil' Wayne @ ???
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Lonely (+Atk, -Def)
EVs: 120 HP / 224 Atk / 96 Spd / 68 SAtk
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Thunderbolt / Thunder
- Aerial Ace
Physical Sweeper w/Electric attacks. Aerial Ace stops evasion whores dead in their tracks.

Tyranitar (M) ** King Golem @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SAtk)
EVs: 252 HP / 224 Atk / 32 SDef
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
Earthquake is just a mere filler until I can come up with something better that isn't Hidden Power. Other than that, this guy will hit like a ton of bricks

Comments and Criticisms are welcome, and don't suggest attacks unless you know something about competitive play. Thank you.

Here's my thesis on a good Battle Frontier team:

- Special Sweeper
- Normal/Flying Resist
- Type coverage among all 3 Pokemon so that Bulky Waters don't **** it up.

Personally, I believe you'd have problems against Milotics and Walreins, but That's only if Tyranitar fails to do it's job. REally, I like it though, as it can cover a lot of things offensively, I'm just skeptical on how it can take certain attacks. I'm sure you'll prove me wrong on this one, though.

Yeah, I'm now realizing a few of my problems will be how to deal with Milotic, and especially Gyarados and Salamence.

I think I might use Starmie instead of Kingdra.

I really like Starmie in the battle frontier because...

1) Type Coverage <Bolt / Beam> w/reliable STAB <Surf>

2) Can take a hit better than most Special Sweepers allowing him to switch in a little easier.

3) Can <Recover> which to me is invaluable when you are limited to a small # of pokes.

4) BANE of Bulky Waters absorbing they're hits while throwing SE Thunderbolts back in their face.

lol, Battle Frontier isn't competitive at all. It's only an advanced mode of in-game play.

Not the ones with Mirror Coat (and most of them will have it).

Starmie is way better than Kingdra though.

Also, don't use Tyranitar. None of your teammates enjoy Sandstream and you're basically doubling your Bulky Water weakness.

If you are using Dragonite and Starmie, you will definitely need a special wall. Use either Regice or Snorlax.

Snorlax @ Chesto Berry
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 140 HP / 56 Atk / 136 Def / 176 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Body Slam/Return
- Earthquake
- Rest
- Curse

Regice @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SAtk
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave/Toxic/Psych Up

I've never been hit with it but i'm not calling you a liar. LOL They probably have Mirror Coat - see me switch in Starmie and aren't smart enough to use Mirror Coat because the AI is so bad. Now everytime i kill a Bulky Water with Thunderbolt i'll be thinking was that smart matchup by me or bad AI by them.

Now i'm gonna be real Paranoid whenever one pops up. Here i was thinking i had their number but you know they aren't gonna hit me with it in Round 2. They'll wait till i'm on the last match of Round 4 or 5 and Mirror Coat me out of the Tower and it'll be hide the knives time again. <Where's my pills> :nervous:

There's only two COMMON Bulky Waters with Mirror Coat, an half the time they're using Toxic. ._.
