4th Gen Who else thinks...

[DaPews]

That the battle tower cheats? Ex: Sheer Cold will hit 50% of the time.
It makes me so angry!

 

[Gymnotide]

30% is actually not that bad hit%.
You've just bad luck.

 

[chubb-o-wub]

Um... It's not just him... I was swept by a Pinsir hitting me three times with Guillotine 8l

 

[Haza]

well i dunno because when i have a high streak i only get stopped by 1HKO moves.

 

[Gymnotide]

Well, it's kind of your fault for not being able to kill a Pinsir.
That thing is slow and weak.

I wiped a team on Shoddy with this:

Dewgong @ Wide Lens
-- Sheer Cold
-- Horn Drill
-- Rest
-- Sleep Talk

 

[Detox]

Its a well known fact that the tower is hax.

But in my case, im just like Haza. stupid gliscor....

 

[Caelus]

I think it cheats past the second streak.
One time I was trying to reach Palmer when I had to face a pokemon (It was a long time ago so my memory is very vague) who knew a 1HKO, which was obviously not good.
Well, it hit my pokemon and I lost the battle.
Since then, I try to make sure my team is ready before I reach the second streak.

 

[Alakazam17]

Like 80-90% of the times I lose in the Battle Tower it is due to breaking of clauses that are almost always present in person-to-person matches. It's annoying. >_<

I've lost to Horn Drill a few times, heh.

 

[Haza]

And it always gets me with Sheer Cold and Fissure. Im always like ooh, a free turn when I see it and then the animation comes and Im like DAMN!

Ya...it's official...Battle Tower cheats. My friend and I figured that what the computer does is targets that pokemon that you have brought into the battle tower. Like when we bring in a strong normal pokemon, we will see more Ghost and Fighting pokemon later on in the game.

This is how my battle went...Ok so...I have this "adjusted" Slaking. It's ability is Huge Power and has ExtremeSpeed (my friend and I are getting tired of losing) So...39th battle, I come across a Gliscor. I have my epic Slaking, and use ExtremeSpeed, but of course...it has Focus Sash and then uses Guillotine! So i'm like "aight...no biggy." I send out my Jolteon and finish it off with a Shadow Ball. Then it sends out Milotic and I kill that with Thunderbolt. Then the Abomasnow comes out. I get a Shadow Ball in and it kills me with Sheer Cold. Atsonished at seeing 2 1HKO moves hit in a row, I send out my Bronzong and put the thing to sleep. I get to Calm Minds in when it wakes up and kills me with a Sheer Cold...It disappointed me...greatly and yet I'm sitting here playing it again.

wow i thought i was the only one that thought that.........and i thought i had it bad when palmer's rhyperior pwn'd my whole team and some jynx did the same... but if i had a adjusted slaking and lost i probably would of went on a rampage...:rambo:...and broke everything in my room

While sheer cold should only statistically hit 30% of the time, there's always the possibility of hitting 400 times in a row. Hax is always something to take into account for battle tower at the higher levels, you just have to learn to work around it. For example, bring a flyer/levitator to avoid fissure, that one of the OHKO moves remedied.

We hear ya but it seems that the opponents of the in game battle tower never miss with these moves and thats some ol bull.

 

[Zennyo Ryūō]

The Battle Tower trainers have hax on their side. It's not biased, though.

No...ur just having trouble...
I knocked out one of their Gliscor's who had Gullotine and it missed three times...the 4th time it was stupid to use it on my donphan (double battle) who has the ability of sturdy...lol
