Battle Frontier general
Tips,Tricks,Strategies

To beat the battle hall(the 1v1) and get gold, get a slaking with maxed attack, rest split between HP and special defense, and use Hammer arm, Night Slash, Earthquake, and Giga Impact

Works every time.

Best item to use is probably a choice band or speed scarf

How I got gold in the Emerald Battle Dome:

Starmie - Surf, Psychic, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam
Flygon - Earthquake, Rock Slide, Quick Attack, Rest
Sceptile - Leaf Blade, Dragon Claw, Crunch, Thunderpunch

If you're wondering about Quick Attack, it's there because the AI sometimes likes using stuff like Endure/Flail Pinsir, who will fuck you up if you aren't careful.

Almost always chose Starmie and Flygon, with Sceptile only being used if the opponent had 2 Water types, or a Water/Ground (or I guess Alakazam).

Usually started with Starmie, since it outspeeds and destroys almost everything. In case of the opponent starting out with an Electric type, just switch to Flygon.

Before the last tournament, Sceptile was changed to Shedinja, who was only used in the last battle, since he walls Tucker completely. It was somewhat funny how he kept switching moves randomly while I SDed and destroyed him. Take that!

I'm so glad this thread is here, I just got all my Pokemon together for the Battle Frontier

I calculated a bunch of stuff like the Frontier Brain's Pokemon/weakness, overall stats and moves learned and this is what I came up with (No legendaries though, and everyone's preferances are probably different)

Tell me what you think, it's my first time using EVs and actually playing competitively.

Aggron: 228 HP/252 ATK/ 28 Sp. Atk
Rock Slide, Aerial Ace, Earthquake, Flamethrower

Starmie: 240 HP/240 SpA/ 28 Speed
Surf, thunderbolt, rapid spin, recover

Breloom: 52 HP/ 252 ATK/ 204 Speed
Sky Uppercut, Spore, Substitute, Leech Seed

Swellow 4HP/252 ATK/ 252 Speed
Aerial Ace, Double Edge, Endevour, Facade

Hariyama: 96 ATK/ 192 Def/ 192 Sp.Def/ 128 Speed
Knock Off, Rock Slide, Seismic Toss, Brick Break

Metagross: 252 HP/236 ATK/ 12 Def
Meteor Mash, Rock Slide, Explosion, Earthquake

Sableye: 76 HP/ 252 ATk/ 180 Speed
Shadowball, Taunt, Brickbreak, Fake Out

Claydol: 252 HP/ 216 Def/ 40 Sp. Def
Rapid Spin, Earthquake, Psychic, Ice Beam

Obv. not using them all for each building, doing teams based on what they're good at.

Thinking of doing Dome with Starmie, Metagross and Breloom. Good Idea?

What's up with all these Rapid Spins man, the AI never uses Spikes and pebbles don't exist yet.

Since you already have Substitute on Breloom, might as well throw Focus Punch on it.

>Thinking of doing Dome with Starmie, Metagross and Breloom. Good Idea?

You can try it, but without Ice Beam on Starmie, Tucker will most likely destroy you (Latias destroys Starmie and Breloom, while Swampert takes on Metagross)

Ah, excellent points, ill throw Ice Beam on Starmie in place of the Rapid Spin. What should I take off of Breloom for the Focus Bunch?

Wobbuffet/shuckle are probably the best starters for any team on the battle frontier for the amount of damage they can soak up and number of pokemon they can take out.

I also remember using a raichu with substitute, focus punch, thunderpunch and the magnitism levitate ability in platinum to help with the battle tower(whoever had a milotic opener)

That raichu was a beast btw

I tried running a sand team in the Super Singles battle subway with
Dragon Dance Tyrannitar (Focus sashed)
Garchomp (Choice Scarved) as my main sweeper, because nothing but Skarmory, Ferrothorn and Forretress can take an Outrage well
Excadrill(Choice Banded) mostly as a revenge killer/switch in for Garchomp so it can use Fire Blast

It works pretty well, but my problem is in Abomasnow, which none of my switch ins are safe and who also ruins my sand.
Should I just straight up get a different strategy?

I remember I did Battle Pike Lv 50 with a Metagross, a Sudowoodo, and a Wailord.

Needless to say luck played a major role.

Not really. If it has good IVs and it's EV trained then it's still good to use in online battles.

Anyone know a good team based around a mixed Sceptile or should I just start over and pick another starter?

Sceptile is fine. Pair it with a Fire type like Houndoom.

So I'm about to battle against Tucker and I don't know what to use. He has a swampert, a salamence, and a charizard. I have a sceptile (leaf blade, thunderpunch, pursuit, rock tomb), walrein (blizzard, surf, body slam, toxic), and ampharos (thunder, thunderbolt, fire punch, hyper beam). I know that some of the movesets are a bit odd, but they're all I have for now. What do you guys think he'll use?

I'd start with Walrein, if he starts with Charizard - surf, Salamence - blizzard, and Swampert - switch to Sceptile. Do not choose Ampharos at all.

I plan on taking the emerald frontier again because I restarted the game in my past save i managed to get all gold symbols but 2

I RNG'd a 31/31/31/27/31/29 slaking, and a milotic with similar stats and beat the dome

now i'm debating with myself if i should just edit a team because RNG takes a lot(about 2 hours per pokemon + EV training)

i will probably only use pokemon that i can legally get though(i got fire red so no misdreavous, for example)

for the team i'm thinking a DDTar and a metagross, the last slot i've not decided yet
