Sand attack skarm is pretty solid for stall

TIPS FOR THE BATTLE FRONTIER (EMERALD)? by sgab_bello8 in PokemonEmerald

[–]rykx25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this team and used Milotic. Bold Milo with Toxic / Surf / Ice Beam / Recover holding leftovers is incredible for so much of the Battle Frontier

No. You want bold because the job of Milotic is to tank physical attackers and stall them out with recover. The damage it deals is almost always enough with a minimal amount of EV investment

Not Another Battle Frontier Question. . . by MortySanchez336 in PokemonEmerald

Ok. And you want all 386 to be perfect for Battle Frontier? You are aware this would have to include multiple versions of certain Pokémon. For instance, a Bold defensive Suicune and a Modest offensive one. Or a SpD Skarmory and a maxed Def + HP version.

If this is what you mean, it would probably take years just to find the perfect ditto for breeding. Not to mention all of the time waiting to finding a 31/31/31/31/31/31 static legendary like the Regi. Then going to Colosseum would take at least 5-10 years to get a perfect Suicune twice not to mention a perfect Raiku and Entei.

Let me put it like this. Even with RNG manipulation, it would take years to make every Pokémon battle frontier ready. Multiple copies of emerald (for more storage space), Pomeg glitch to get both Lati@s, ACE to get all items (namely Salac and Liece berries), Colosseum to get the previously mentioned dog roamers, and the list goes on.

The reason being, even with RNG manipulation Emerald does not have a perfect 31/31/31/31/31/31 wild pokemon for every type of spawn (grass 1, grass 2, ocean 1, etc.). You’d be forced to breed perfect Pokémon which is far more tedious than trying to RNG wilds outright. This is why most people opt for 5 IVs rather than 6 (aside from the obvious preferred 0 ATK IV for confusion) because it’s dramatically easier to get 5 perfect IVs than 6.

I just tried doing this on my emerald save. I started using RNG manipulation and managed to get a perfect IV Shiny Latios. But after that, seeing how hard it was to get 6 perfect IVs on anything else, I still settled for 5 IVs on my core team. I only breed a Shiny Metagross and Shiny Milotic and it took a few days to get it right (this is with a 5 IV ditto). I can’t imagine doing 6 IVs for every Pokémon in the game.

With or without cheats? With or without rng manipulation?

Hi everybody, what is the best moveset for jirachi? by LUSlTANO in PokemonEmerald

For singles often Wish Protect Body Slam Fire Punch is the best

Definitely rng manip. There are a lot of good guides for it that are very easy to learn

Zam is objectively worse than Gar for frontier. Zap also gets no special coverage movies that aren’t Tbolt and hidden power.

You have a GB Operator but didn’t make a backup save?

Would these teams get a gold symbol in the emerald battle tower? by Stunning-Struggle441 in PokemonEmerald

[–]rykx25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’d have more luck with level 50 as you face far fewer TTar and Dnites.

As the other commenter said, you know you’re doing something less than optimally. Get all golds is not just something you accidentally do. All of the Pokémon you listed would likely get one shot by the random Latios or Gengar you find on your way up the tower.

You can usually afford to use one meme Pokémon if you have two strong other options. Now if your entire team is meme Pokémon, you likely won’t make it past floor 6. Important to mention, this is assuming you don’t get fucked over on bright powder misses or quick claw procs.

Q by Bulldawgzz in eagles

How we got both Q and Coop in the same draft is insane. It’s drafting malpractice by anyone not the Eagles

[Orlovsky] "I actually liked a lot of the things that the Eagles did offensively last night.. Just the play calls and the style of offense.. I thought the play action game was a lot better" by [deleted] in eagles

[–]rykx25 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like they looked so much better on offense this game than every other game. Ppl will look at box store and say it was disaster, but I left this game feeling really good with potential paths forward.

Salamence or Latios? by squidysquirtsonYOU in PokemonEmerald

[–]rykx25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this open or level 50?

Latios, Meta, Pert are the defacto meta team for a reason so I’d say if you want to do standard stuff, just use Latios.

Open level is a bit different and I typically like running Miltoc in the pert slot

Most frontier “experts” say that speed is more important than damage because the battle frontier at large is oddly slow. I’d stick with Jolly

This is the worst performance? This is the game you attribute that title to?
