    Which Pokemon Should I train for it.


    I'm usingmy Pikachu.


    Who else should iuse?


    I can use Aipom, Gyarados, Donphan, Noctowl or Sableye.

    Gyarados and Sableye are at higher levels.
     
    Train your starter and your Gyarados.
     
    Train your starter and your Gyarados.

    You don't even know what the starter is :/

    Okay, pikachu does NOTHING in the Frontier. but w/e. Gyarados and donphan are the only 2 decent pokemon you mentioned, so go with those. and replace Pika for a special attacker...a better one...
     
    I say you re-train a whole new team. Get a BIG mix of Pokemon types. You can even EV train them, but you might not want to do that.

    A team I would suggest for Battle Frontier is:

    Swampert @ Leftovers
    EVs: 188 HP, 176 Att, 144 Sp. D
    Nature: Brave (+ Att - Spd)
    Abillity: Torrent
    -Earthquake
    -Curse
    -Rest
    -Rock Slide

    Great wall and physical attacker. This might also go in Strategies and Movesets section, but I'll answer anyway. Swampert's one and only weakness is grass, the special defense EVs cover it's grass weakness since most grass attacks are special attacks.

    Slaking @ Leftovers
    EVs: 252 Att, 154 Def, 104 Spd
    Nature: Adamant (+ Att - Sp. A)
    Ability: Truant
    -Hyper Beam
    -Slack Off
    -Amnesia
    -Shadow Ball

    Slaking basically OHKOs everything with Hyper Beam, and since he has Truant ability it ignores the recharge, and he just loafs around anyway. With the Amnesia and 154 Defense EVs, Slaking will Tank A LOT. Slack Off will heal you and make Slaking reckless. Shadow Ball to take out the ghosts who will resist Hyper Beam.

    Milotic @ Leftovers
    EVs: 148 HP, 104 Def, 56 Sp. D, 200 Sp. A
    Nature: Calm (+ Sp. D - Att)
    -Hypnosis/Toxic
    -Recover
    -Surf
    -Ice Beam

    Milotic is a great wall and special attacker. With this team, your whole team is basically walls and can withstand attacks, while still being great attackers. All can heal themselves too, so make great use of that.

    Swampert need sDef EVs, even with curse.

    Most everything will still OHKO it ._.

    Nature: Adamant (+ Att - Sp. A)
    Ability: Truant
    -Hyper Beam
    -Slack Off
    -Amnesia
    -Shadow Ball

    the only good slaking set I've seen is the CB one.

With the Amnesia and 154 Defense EVs, Slaking will Tank A LOT. Slack Off will heal you and make Slaking reckless. Shadow Ball to take out the ghosts who will resist Hyper Beam.

    slaking cannot tank, it's that simple. traunt ruins that and you'll be KOed by special attackers anywaya. Its purpose is to hit and run, not the opposite.

    Milotic @ Leftovers
    EVs: 148 HP, 104 Def, 56 Sp. D, 200 Sp. A
    Nature: Calm (+ Sp. D - Att)
    -Hypnosis/Toxic
    -Recover

    -Ice Beam

    Problem with that team is that HP Grass + Thunderbolt users (many of them) will bug you at the frontier. Milotic wouldn't really fit, something like regice would be cool, or a special wall NOT weak to fighting would be nice too :P
     
    I am retraining an entire new team. (except Gyarados and Sableye)

    Sableye sucks.

    and i want Pikachu on my team hes the best pokemon ever

    lol

    If you want to win you won't use pika.

    But those Pokemon are easily obtained, I am used to DP, and I forgot that some legendaries were allowed xD.
     
    Milotic? Easy to obtain? O_O

    That thing is a NIGHTMARE to get, catching feebas = wasting hours.
     
    it took me around 7 hours [not staright] to find one >< have feebas! but love milotic
     
    Hmm. Get a Bulky Physical Sweeper. Preferably Heracross. Next, get a Special Sweeper of a different type, and can cover Heracross's Weakness, in this case, Starmie. As for the Wall, if you want Physical, Blastoise is a great one in UU. As for Special, I wouldn't reccomend a Special Wall. more like a tank, in this case, use Cmcune, or Suicune with Calm Mind. >3.
     
    Heracross IS NOT bulky. Unless you run resttalk, but that isn't smart in the battle frontier. You don't need walls, just maybe a tank and pokemon that resist a lot and cover each other's weaknesses.
     
    What you need are these-

    Metagross @Choice Band
    Adamant Nature
    EVs:252attk/200hp/56spdef

    EQ
    Meteor Mash
    Shadow Ball
    HP Bug

    Persian @Leftovers
    Timid Nature
    EVs:252spattk/252spd/4hp

    Hypnosis
    Water Pulse
    T-Bolt
    Dream Eater

    Ninetales @Lum Berry
    Modest Nature
    EVs:252spattk/252spd/4hp

    Will-o-Wisp
    Flamethrower
    HP Ice
    Mimic

    Meta = Tank
    Persian/Ninetales= Sweepers

    Those 3 work well, in the Battle Pyramid, they can resist the status problems that the wild pokes give.
     
    I went through battle frontier with just my Blazikens and nothing else. Infact i've beaten Battle Dome and got a silver medal thanks to it. I'd probably have it even EASIER if i made a team but that takes time and im lazy, already making a team in D/P as it is.
