Re: Battle frontier help
Right, so yeah, I agree with the people who said that Battle Tower is rather difficult... It took me a few tries, and I lost to Anabel the first time around, which was sad, and even so, my highest streak was... 35. X.x
Also, I agree with Fireball Latios - it's probably going to be *very* hard trying to get a team that's effective for all 7 facilities. For example, the Battle Pyramid and the Battle Tower have two very different styles.
However, if all you're looking for by "effectively beat the Battle Tower" is a team that can get past the Silver Symbol at the bare minimum...
This is going off the top of my head, but bear in mind that I didn't really breed for natures... X.x
Swampert (nature: ???)
Leftovers
- Protect (for Protect/leftovers recovery - not much, but every bit helps... Right?)
- Rock Slide
- Surf
- Earthquake
Salamence (nature: ???; I think it was a neutral one)
Choice Band or King's Rock (I think CB)
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power (Flying - I didn't want to use Aerial Ace or Fly)
- Double-Edge
Heracross (nature: Sassy, I think)
Choice Band or King's Rock (I think KR)
- Swords Dance
- Rock Slide
- Megahorn
- Brick Break

Battle analysis:
The first time around, my Swampert missed Alakazam twice in a row with EQ, and things went downhill from there. X.x Oh yeah, and her Snorlax's Quick Claw activated against my Heracross, and proceeded to score a critical OHKO on my Heracross. X.x I think a non-crit. probably wouldn't have OHKO'ed my Heracross... I hope. X.x So using the logic that luck was against me this time, I tried again with the same team.
The second time around went much more smoothly, in the sense that Heracross wasn't used at all. Luck was with me this time - Salamence and Rock Slide took care of Entei and Snorlax, getting a few flinches along the way, I think - so I think the item may have been King's Rock, but my sticking with one move doesn't really negate CB as a possibility...

I hope this wasn't too long. X.x Good luck!
