Sorry if there's already a thread for this, but I couldn't find one and I had to mention this just now.
Has anyone ever in the history of mankind gotten the Gold Symbol in the Emerald Battle Factory? I fail to see how it would even be possible because no matter how good you are or how well you know the game, the RNG will always catch up to you.
For those that may have forgotten, the Battle Factory is where you play 3 v 3 games with rental pokemon (think pokemon stadium), and you have to win 42 battles consecutively to get the Gold Symbol. The difficulty is very much in the fact you need those 42 wins in succession, because that means the you only need one bad type match-up, or one untimely quick claw proc, or a one-hit-KO move hitting and you're done.
The reason I'm bringing this up right because I really thought I was going to pull this off and finally do it. I was at the last stretch in the 40th game, I was lucky enough to score an incredible team of Tyranitar, Suicune and Latios. To my mind this was a near perfect team as they all covered each others weaknesses. So in the 40th match, the opposition lead is a Medicham. That should be a good match-up for me given Psychic barely effects my team and I have Latios to tank the fighting hits. So obviously my first move I switch into Latios, but I get hit with a Dynamic Punch and am now confused. So I switch to Suicune, and again, Dynamic Punch confusion. So I switch back to Latios, but wait, Ice Punch, I just survive, but I get frozen. So I sac Latios, go back to Suicune, and I know I have to play risky, so I go for a Calm Mind. But I get hit with DPunch again, and are confused once more. Okay I'm rambling on, but basically the AI landed all 5 Dynamic Punches and I lost to the Medicham, and it was really annoying.
So, what I ask of you fine people of PokeCommunity is how on Earth do you get the Factory Gold Symbol? Is it possible? Do you have any particular strategies for it aside from the logical ones of try to have good attacking and defensive coverage? Do you know of any fated individuals that have managed to conquer the RNG and attained the covets Gold Symbol? I've been playing Emerald for nearly 10 years, and I shudder to think how many hours I've sank into trying to finally conquer this white whale. I've been on the edge of the precipice for so long, and I know it's there. I might just need that final tip to bring it home though. To anyone who can assist me, I will be much obliged.
