Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I still don't have Platinum' date=' what sort of numbers do you have to get to before the battles start getting hard?[/quote'] So far Ive only had 21 battles in both the Tower and Castle. If the tower is anything like it is on Diamond and Pearl, it will probably start getting hard after 35 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 35? I'd say 50-60 was the difficult margin. What teams are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyosuke Kiryu Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've done the same as you JD. Its easy. What was your team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Judgment Dragon Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 35? I'd say 50-60 was the difficult margin. What teams are you using? That was early last year when I was experimenting with EVs (I wasn't always good). If you say it got hard at 50-60, I dont think you'll have much trouble with the Tower. The Castle is not like the one on Emerald Version. You don't get to use your own items. You also don't get healed after a Battle automatically and it uses a Points System called CP for certain things. At first CP lets you heal your Pokemon's HP, borrow some Berries, and look at what Pokemon species your opponent is using. You are able to rank up using CP and that lets you recover your Pokemon's move PP, hold items, and view your opponent's Pokemon in more detail. The Factory may be the only cause for concern since you have Limited say in what you use like on Emerald. As for teams, I usually vary what I use. When I went through the Tower, since I knew what I was up against, I used a Choice Band Weavile to deal with the Tycoon's Dragonite, a Choice Specs Mesprit to deal with Rhypherior and a Life Orb Azelf to deal with Milotic. The Tower Tycoon is much the same as on Diamond and Pearl. The move sets are the only different things. Im not sure what Dragonite uses as it fainted before it could even hit me, Rhypherior seems to be set up properly unlike Diamond and Pearl and Milotic is much the same as on Diamond and Pearl. For the Castle Valet (the Frontier Brain for the Castle) round I used Heatran, Salamence and Azelf. I sweeped his team with Salamence. He used Staraptor, Houndoom and Empoleon. Staraptor was the biggest challenge but it isn't saying much considering the fact it was pretty easy to beat. It just took 2 attacks instead of 1. Houndoom holds a Focus Sash so you won't get a OHKO on it. I found that out when I Earthquaked it with Salamence. Empoleon should be easy to deal with. It was for me. I don't think you'll have much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Headache's suck:/ @AnybodyCompetent: OK I'm making a new team but I'm unsure about my lead. I have at least one resistance for each type of attack, and good offense for both ends of the spectrum. My problem is my lead and only my lead. The thing is the Pokemon that I've chosen, although awesome, lacks quite a bit of Spe. The given number of EVs on Smogon let me out speed specific Pokemon which is sweet. However, I was thinking that if I shifted all those Spe Evs into Hp I'd be able to take hits a lot better while still being able to overcome a Spe deficiency in a different way. So instead of out speeding I'm able to take enough hits to still be able to kill it and other Pokemon. Which should I go for, specific Spe with max ATK or max ATK with more bulk behind it?

Zexaeon Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Honestly Felix, it all depends on the Pokemon. =o I can't give my opinion if I don't know what it is, because my opinion on this matter would revolve solely around which pokemon it is, and weather or not I think it will be better off with bulk.

Felix Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'll PM it to both of you and the thing Smogon says the EVs out Spe. I'm going to use the guy in the tourney so it would be stupid to blatantly post it. I can tell you gguys because I don't have to battle either of you in the tourney.
