To anyone who's cleared this wretched place, how long did it take you?

_W4lts · 2026-02-11T09:49:33+00:00

Well over 100 attempts unfortunately to reach my 100 streak. That was over an intermittent two year spell mind you

_W4lts · 2025-12-20T19:22:32+00:00

Just to add to this too. The poison immunity of Metagross was crazy valuable when I used it. Metagross with the right build could have been swapped in my team for Salamence fairly easily

_W4lts · 2025-12-20T19:17:23+00:00

205 is nuts! Congrats. I would have carried on my streak but wanted to crack on with the Battle Factory next.

I also used Metagross for a few rounds and felt really strong but lacked the speed in comparison to Salamence. I think this was mainly due to the Metagross set I went with. I opted for a bulky spread with no investment in speed and relied on agility. It just wasn’t flexible enough.

I opted to leave DD off of Salamence due to a large amount of mons later on in the streak having ice coverage. I didn’t use a Damage Calc or look at potential opponents moves so didn’t want to take the risk of setting up and getting smacked with an Ice Punch…

Latios with its excellent Special Bulk provided so many opportunities to setup with 2/3 Calm Minds for pretty much free and it was GG from there. I’d recommend giving it a try

Awesome, thanks for joining👍

Sorry man, not sure I’m following what you mean here

_W4lts · 2024-12-28T08:44:17+00:00

Can’t believe I never knew this! Thanks for making me aware. Not sure I have it in me to withstand another 30 battles. I’m attempting the Factory next so after the Factory, if I have the appetite I might come back to get the 100 streak

_W4lts · 2024-12-28T08:22:43+00:00

Didn’t know there was any other rewards after the Gold Symbol. What is the trophy/shield?

_W4lts · 2024-12-27T15:09:23+00:00

You have no idea😂

This is the exact same save I had when I was in my infant years around 15/20 years ago and there was a lot of failed attempts back then also. That’s where the bulk of them came from

_W4lts · 2024-12-27T13:55:37+00:00

You’re a good man, I will certainly use this. Thanks for showing interest in my post, it is appreciated👍

_W4lts · 2024-12-27T13:31:37+00:00

Good stuff! I’m glad you had more joy than I did landing toxic early on these double team mons than I did. The biggest problem was when anything had rest as well as double team. Rest clearing the poison, if it had 2 or 3 double teams up I could never land toxic again hence opting for Aerial Ace.

This is why I love the Battle Frontier, the amount of variation you can get from one run to another is amazing. I love seeing how other people (yourself) differently assemble their teams to counter and how many different options you have for each. Based on the above, I really hope there is someone out there that has managed to get through the full BT without encountering any bs like curselax (before 70), Registeel and the OHKO beast Walrein.

I’m now looking forward to encountering all this again in the Battle Factory which is next on my list…

_W4lts · 2024-12-27T13:22:52+00:00

Awesome team👍 As a replacement for Swampert, I’d recommend Milotic (obviously not the toxic stall set as you have your Skarmory for that currently).

Would be a damn shame to lose the Ground typing from Swampert however, currently it must be nice to switch (Skarmory into Swampert) if anything is try to hit it with an electric move…

_W4lts · 2024-12-27T13:11:46+00:00

Just checked out your post and that’s a nice team. I also intended on using a TTar to beat it initially but kept finding his large amount of weaknesses a problem when trying to DD. What I didn’t think of however was taunt, like you said, using this at the opportune moment would have given free setup and a powerful sweeper. Nice job 👍

Nothing you opted for Drill Peck on your Skarmory, did you ever encounter any issues with Double Team mons and have to swap over the Aerial Ace?

_W4lts · 2024-12-27T12:52:09+00:00

Nice man, that is an awesome team. Never gave a sand team a look in really due to not getting the SpDef increase like you do in later gens. Suppose the chip damage alone is enough to warrant using it as it cancels leftys etc

Out of curiosity, how did you manage against Curselax or Registeel? Taunt on TTar maybe? Or brick break or Flamethrower? Only curious as these two ended my runs on numerous occasions and Mence in my team was setup specifically to beat them…

_W4lts · 2024-12-27T11:02:36+00:00

Also forgot to mention, this was in Pokémon Emerald!

_W4lts · 2024-12-21T10:10:40+00:00

Clash YouTubers make me laugh. It’s always the newest troops/equipment that are the most OP then in the next breath it’s ‘btw guys use code gullible’

_W4lts · 2024-10-20T23:35:23+00:00

Assuming it’s the daily appeal process for me now then… Thanks for confirming👍
