i think choice scarf on a slow sweeper would be the best approach. an example is my {gallade}

, his speed isnt the grestest and his defence isn't the best so if he gets hit by a physical move he would probably die. With gallades high attack combined with a choice scarf + a physical attack he can go far.

Galade isnt THAT slow, T-Wave can fix the Speed issues

my {garchomp}

has a life orb since hes already quick and has high attack, just boosting his attack power.

not sure what item to give {electivire}

atm so for now hes got wise glasses :mad:

I think 3 sweepers is the best approach

Im getting it now...so basically a pokemon that can attack quickly, one that can do some damage and one the has side affecting moves such as sleep, poison, paralyze, ect. I though it was mainly about power to be honest cause I have alot of power pokes and they seem to do really good up untill about battle 10. My best was Sharpedo cause it took out alot of the pokes quickly. Gardevoir did good but again about the 10th battle...

What would be the best team for the battle tower? Im having trouble getting a good team set up. The longest I have gone is 15. (I know. That looks horrible)

General strategy is to use a phys sweeper, a spec sweeper, and a wall. That should get you pretty far. Also, make sure you have a way of countering DTers.

I will try that. Thanks. Anything else I should try as well or is a good defense the best offense in the Battle Tower

I usually find offense more important than defense in the battle tower. If you can kill the DTers off before they get in too many DTs, you are good. It is also useful to have a good priority move user (my favorite is Metagross with Bullet Punch, but there are loads of other good ones) to take out Focus Sash users.

You can take a Sweeper/Sweeper/Sweeper aproach, as some Heavy damaged dealers are rather bulky, or get a Sweeper/Wall/Sponge , You need EV training/natures for the most part, as theres no such thing as being too perpeared. Work your Type combos and strenghs. Bring as much as you can to avoid Hax, OHKO moves+Evaision.

It sure is, always bring at least one Always-hits move, and imunities to Ground/Normal are helpful. SheerCold is a pain, as the only thing against that is STURDY/FocusSash Help Kill Hax!

Hmm...if i'm not wrong, pure sweepers sets can get you very far. The more super effective attacks you can land, the better.

Post subject:	Re: Battle Tower Team
First,try to not share weaknesses... (don't take a team of Water, Flying and Water/Flying or a will own you... ) 1-Take a Powerfull Sweeper(Mixed can work,but Physical/Special is better ...) 2-A Tank,Staller or Sponge (The more Hp you can have,better chance you will have...) 3a-A staller that can do some Special/Physical moves... 3b-A Special Sweeper that cover a team member weakness... A good combo that i use is ... 1-Tanla @Choice Band Nature:Jolly Ev:Att & Speed Max -Earthquake -Rock Slide -Aerial Ace -Dragon Claw Good Starter,Hit most things with a Super Effective and has intimidate, that make P.Sweepers lose some power... Swich out on: Rocks,Ice,Dragons... Bulky waters and physical stallers... 2-Selenne @Leftovers Nature:Bold Ev:Hp & Def:Max Serene Grace -Seismic Toss -Counter / Thunder Wave -Softboiled -Aromatherapy Special Sponge with some defense...can take many things off... If you use counter you can kill something after salamence intimidate... (If you lucky enough you can even survive some Stabed Cross Chop!!!!) 3:I usally change between these 2 on the 3rd slot so both have the 2 ribbon on BT single.. 3a-Salion @Wise Glasses or Yache Berry Nature:Modest Ev:Hp200 Sp.Att:252 Speed:58 Serene Grace -Air Slash -Shadow Ball -Aura Sphere -Roost Good Staller that can deal a hard special hit...just keep away from anything that can deal super effective hits... (It share a weakness with tanla...well...Do what i say,i don't do what i do... ) 3b-Ghasta @Focus Sash Nature:Hasty Ev:S.Att & Speed:Max Levitate -Shadow Ball -Thunderbolt -Hidden Power [ice 47 or 49 can't remember...] -Destiny Bond Special sweeper faster than most that you will find on BT... Can kill that fighting type that just screw your blissey... Good sweeper overall and can take at least 1 enemy down... I got to 144 using this team...I use them since Emerald so,i know it works... I hope it helps...

Another one to use...is a Taunt+some of the other mentioned on this thread. Taunt helps with the hax of double team and such which many traniers within the BT use. An nice example of a taunter is a BulkDos.

From personal Experience, The Higher you go, The more The AI tries to counter you.(I got Combusken 3 times in a row Along With a monferno).So Try to have a counter for most of your weakness's. So You Should Have A)A Bulky Sweeper OR A tank that Does Damage B)An All Out Sweeper That Cover's the Above's Weakness's C)A Tank That Can Do Damage. C1)With Sturdy C2)With All neutral Moves C3)With An alway's Hit move Your mileage may vary.

what would i replace for t-wave?? and life orb sounds good for vire

Post subject:	Re: Battle Tower Team
Now i notice Gallade has SD, you might not want to. Try looking up some movesets on the web, you might find a second opinion, I've never trained a Gallade for myself, so Im no expert.

I think he just means 'It was doing tons of damage'. Yeah, 3 Sweepers works. But its not the only thing that works.

I was trying like crazy to get pass Bt since R/S/E... My team was always 3 sweepers...And i was always Pwned by and other Tanks/Sponges/Fast Sweepers and others...I didn't had nothing to take some ice beams for my then i couldn't get very far...That's when i was reading some guides and saw the idea of using and other tanks... which i thought that i would never use(Don't know why,i just didn't like her...), That changed my game forever...this was like 2 or 3 years ago... I was kind of the average N00b that you might found easily around some forums ... Now i just like to show some kids all my Shiny Gold Symbols...

Im getting it now...so basically a pokemon that can attack quickly, one that can do some damage and one the has side affecting moves such as sleep, poison, paralyze, ect. I though it was mainly about power to be honest cause I have alot of power pokes and they seem to do really good up untill about battle 10. My best was Sharpedo cause it took out alot of the pokes quickly. Gardevoir did good but again about the 10th battle...
