It's my first time playing through any of these battle facilities mode, so obviously I'm going to do something useless that's probably going to waste my time

Smeargle (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Moody
EVs: 252 HP 252 SPD 4 DEF
Timid Nature
- Spore
- Baton Pass
- Shell Smash
- Substitute

Salamence (M) @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 ATK 252 SPD 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Return
- Earthquake
- Roost

Bewear (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Fluffly
EVs: 92 HP 252 ATK 164 SPD
Adamant Nature
- Hammer Arm
- Return
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch

I went 20-0 on the first section without many problems. The 19th battle was a bit worrisome as Moody dropped my accuracy so I missed Spore twice in a row. Bewear saved the day with his bulk, though

On the Super Ladder, things got serious right from the start as a Leafeon outsped my Smeargle and swords danced while also waking up in a single turn twice in a row, landing a critical Leaf Blade and killing my Smeargle because I could do anything Bewear's tankiness came into play again but I almost lost as Bewear died and I had to go against Lapras as Mence, but it all worked out in the end. Going to the 6th battle right now

I think I should sub Bewear out even though he's great because Moody sometimes gives me a lot of SPATK and having someone bulky that could use SPATK and has decent coverage would be nice. Any suggestions?
>>
moody smeargle? Relying on RNG in a RNG dominant battle facility will not end well senpai. Especially when teams start using taunt, lum berries, infiltrator, and other things I imagine.

Finally finished 50 single battles. I think switching teams every 10 battles really did help.

>Minior, Mega Scizor, Porygon-Z conversion
>A-Ninetales, Celesteela, A-Marowak
>Buzzwole, Koko, A-Muk
>Mimikyu, Megamence, Toxapex

Still had a couple of close calls but It didn't feel like the game was actively trying to counter my team.

Maybe I got lucky but I'm glad I'm done with that shit. Only stamp I'm missing now is doubles.
>>
>>30917527
Already done with Multi Battles?
Anyway, my team for Doubles was A-Marowak/Gyarados/Chompy/Koko
Usually sent out in that order.
Marowak, Gyarados, and Koko all have Protect to scout moves and not get fucked by each other. (e.g. quake, discharge)

I played from 1-50 with a friend. It's considerably easier because the partner AI is a real jobber.

It's actually kinda funny because sometimes you see your opponents ruining each other's weather sets or not giving a fuck if they hit their partner with earthquake or surf.

I used megamence and porygon-z while my friend used megagross and life orb primarina.
>>
>>30917781
My friends that do play Pokemon don't bother with competitive, they only play until beating the E4 and becoming champion.
At least I have Colress, who's really good as far as AI partners go.
>>
>>30917361
It's a pretty stupid decision, but I wanna play around with it to see how far I'll go

I think things will start to get really hard when I don't just get free Spores on people. So far, I think I only didn't get a Spore first turn two or three times in 30 battles

RNG almost screwed me over against Wally as Moody boosted SPATK twice while lowering Accuracy and Speed, so I had to play slowly against his Altaria to Shell Smash twice to compensate for the bad RNG. I feel like this is definitely going to happen more in the next 40 fights and I'm probably not going to make it that far. Still, it's pretty fun

>>30917781
Can you play those online or just local? Though online is probably incredibly slow

Only local, sadly.

Sun and moon are powersaves prime exclusive until January, you need to buy points in order to use cheats. You should do some research before calling somebody hacker.

Ok so

Go to your battle video history and take pictures of the entire log or at least a good portion of it for the run you have claimed to been doing. If you wuss out or claim you haven't been saving any battles, everyone will know you're full of dogshit. The games should be linear numberwise since it's one run. You have 5 minutes since it shouldn't take long at all considering the videos should already be there.

Otherwise, piss off.

It's only the 14th and Moody seems to be trying to tell me to stop toying with the RNG

Their lead was an Unfezant that outsped my Smeargle and set up Tailwind, but I put it to sleep right after. Substitute and Shell Smash. There was only one issue with the plan: the first two Moody activations lowered my accuracy and the third, my speed, so I got outsped, lost my Sub and to top it off, missed my Spore

Decided to do a risky Baton Pass to Bewear as even with the lowered defenses, he could probably tank a bit. And so he did, he was 3HKO'd by Aerial Ace after missing two Ice Punches in a row

He was KO'd, time to switch back to Smeargle. Since his Tailwind was down, I would be able to put him to sleep, but he U-turned and sent out Lurantis, who eat my Spores without complain. I decided to baton pass to Salamence right away, as I didn't have the HP to setup a last sub and would die if I tried to Shell Smash

Then I realized Lurantis had absolutely nothing to deal with Salamence. So I dragon danced 6 times in a row, roosted his pitiful Giga Drains and ran a train on their team

Let's see how far can I get with this

Has anyone done any data mining for the I.V's of trainers?

If they don't, then I'd like to know how long I have to hold off on scouting to max out partners.

I was going to do a singles run with mimikyu, salemence, and toxapex.

What are good sets for this team?
>>
Guys any way I can report a glitch?
I ran out of battery while the animation of a megaevolution was playing and when I turned the console on again it count the battle as a win and my streak was +1.

So I tested on the next chance I had against a mega (clicked home during the megaevolution animation and closed the game pressing X) and the same happened, I got the battle as a win And my streak got the +1.
>>

i doubt you can report a glitch

That sounds like an awesome exploit and I hope it works for me.

Old 3DS running 10.x.x worked. I won't recommend you to abuse it since we don't know if it can break your game, when you load the game the screen stays in black for some seconds after the music starts playing and you get the BP and the win as anon said.

I will ask a friend with a n3DS running 10.x.x to test it and report back.
>>
>>30923457
I wonder if all the animations during the battles (Z moves) cause the exploit to work.

I'm going to guess that they have pre-made counters for pokemon that were infamous for being overused competitively. When was the last time you saw someone complain about a starmie?
>>
>>30923556
None.

Friend with European n3DS (10.x.x) says it worked 2 Times on a row but the third one failed, so you probably should use this to get quick BP, DON'T USE IT TO GET TO 50 WINS since we don't know how stable this exploit is.

Of the four tapus I got, only tapu bulu got a good nature (Adamant) so I figure I'd use that in the double tree once it comes to that. I have no idea what I'd pair it up with, or if it'd be good for multi, but I figure I can figure that out later. Anyone have anything that goes well with him?

No I just Synchronize for natures and then spend the next aeon trying to level them to 100 so I can cap them.

I'm trying to get Destiny Knot, which you can buy at the Battle Royal Dome for BP. I'm assuming that BP can be earned via either Battle Royal or Battle Tree? (ie the BP is shared between the two facilities)

Also, which is faster for earning BP? I can't do any breeding yet, so I'm stuck with my in-game team or whatever else I can grind up to level 50.

Hyper Training is way more efficient. SRing for perfect IVs is torture, given you probably need at least 5 perfects.

>>30924743

Oh I assumed you do what most people do, mainly reset for the two/three I.V's the legendaries need most.
>>
>>30924787
>what most people do
Nobody who actually plans on using them competitively settles like that. What MOST people do is inject, but fuck that. It's trivial to just get a bottlecap and grind it to 100.
>>
So I managed to get a 50 streak in singles, and now I'll try to get one in Double and Multi for the stamps. Is Multi Battle hard? I mean I'd imagine it would be a bit more lenient since you have to rely on an AI, but maybe I'm being naive. For those who tried, is it harder or easier tha single battle?
>>
>>30924629
They are the same currency. Tree is faster, but if you don't have a good team yet you'll have to grind it out at the Royale, but it's not much easier.
>>
>>30925005
It's easier, but only if you have a good partner. Build your team based on your partner's, and try to knock out one opponent right away so you can 2v1 the other one. The AI tends to do better with straightforward choice sets that have four attacks, but you can still count on them locking into the wrong move and attacking the wrong opponent.
>>
Friendly reminder that it costs 10 BP to scout out someone, so try to save it for the special guest characters... they tend to be pretty good at this.
>>
>>30925332
if you get to a special character, i can guarantee that youll have enough bp to scout them, unless you stop midway and buy something. even from steak 1-10 youll get 20 bp then 11-20 you get 30 bp, etc.
>>
>>30925382
This, never had the problem of not having enough BP to scout someone. You usually don't scout randoms anyway until they start using legendaries and Megas
>>
>>30925382
wait, does that mean that consumable items are replaced after every battle? I mean... in retrospect that makes sense, but I was too paranoid to try.

I tried this, traded for an Oranguru, bred him up. Telepathy, everything. It's just not very bloody good, the first battle in singles I got resists (on fairy and electric). The double chance to paralyze is pretty neat, but if you don't kill it outright it's going to hurt Tapu Koko hard and Oranguru can't do anything else. What am I missing?

For reference, my set was Oranguru with a Mental Herb and Tapu Koko with Choice specs, Discharge/Volt Switch/Dazzling Gleam/U-turn.

I need an idea for a third for my battle tree team. I'm going to run Silvally in first position to scout and weaken stuff with parting shot (though I'm not sure if explosion is worth it in battle tree), Mimikyu because it has a free setup turn and basically unresisted stab combo. the only "weakness" the team has so far is steel and possibly fissures or sheer cold (since mimikyu can eat gullotines or horn drills)

My Moody Smeargly run continues victorious, but 20th floor Dexio gave me a lot of trouble

The RNG is finally catching up to me, as the first three Moody turns gave me less accuracy, so my first baton pass was a complete clownfiesta and it all came down to Mence tanking a Moonblast from a Whimsicott and surviving. Probably the hardest battle I've faced so far

I guess I should starting thinking about a new team. FUFG-WWWW-WWW3-96KJ if anyone wants to laugh at my luck (or lack of it)
>>
Has anyone used Buzzwole in the Tree? What nature/EV spread? I have a Jolly, and I'm SRing for the other to be Adamant.
>>
So I'm thinking I need a wall/stallmon for my next attempt. Thinking either a Bold Regen Toxapex or M-Sableye since it sounds like Magic Bounce is handy. I figure Toxapex works well covering weaknesses for Kartana and Garchomp. But what are some good partners for M-Sableye?

>>30929545
I gave it a try, but my team synergy was bad and it wasn't much help. I ran 252 HP/252 Atk/4 Sp.Def Adamant with an Assault Vest. Makes it pretty tanky all around especially if running Leech Life.

>>30929545
Run max HP max Spdef with Bulk Up and Roost, and then like Leech Life + Superpower or maybe a coverage move instead of one of the STABs.

-Ice Punch
-Throat Chop

-shadow ball

Garchomp
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Rough Skin
Held Item: Choice band
4HP 252ATT 252 Speed
-Crunch
-Earthquake
-Outrage
-Iron Head

Plan is to open with weavile, fake out, hit with either ice punch or throat chop sash saved it for one more move which is usually more than enough to take out anything that doesn't resist if things are going well keep it in if not switch weavile out for another fakeout later. Chandelure if the next mon is a physical wall and garchomp if im ever cornered.

I keep getting to the forties in the battle tree and then suddenly I get ridiculous like quick claw activating 4 times consecutively. I figured I could use a wall but I really dont know what would work best on my team.

I think you can get away with your in game team TO A POINT, but you need to EV and hyper train them, it's okay if you're missing a good nature, as you can't really FIX that for one off mons you didn't think you'd need to refine, but everything else you can fix, so it's expecting you to do so.

Also get good battle items, that's a thing too.

Continuing my saga >>30928862

30th floor boss was... Dexio again. This time around, the match was pretty one sided, as I put his Braviary to sleep, shell smashed and passed to Mence (was scared of a possible whirlwind so I didn't sub) who proceeded to sweep. Video is 6R8W-WWWW-WWW3-AXS2

20 more battles to go. Will I be able to RNG my way up to the top?

You need an out for when you fail your acc check and also when you run into something that isn't weak to rocks and ignores Spikes. The AI's not likely to hand-pick something for you, but you're bound to get unlucky eventually.

Okay, so I somehow managed to win my master class battle royal with xircitree just carrying the whole time, making up for everyone wanting my greninja dead all the time. I used z-hypnosis, but never once hit anything with it... but I always got the speed boost, which was more than enough to help me deal with everything else.

So now I'm going to get ready for the battle tree instead of putting it off forever. I was thinking of going

Battle Bond Greninja
Focus sash
Water Shuriken
Ice Beam
Extra Sensory
Dark Pulse

Xurkitree
Psychium Z
Tail Glow
Thunderbolt
Hypnosis
Energy Ball

Buzzwole
???
Leech Life
Super Power
Poison Jab
Ice Punch

Now, I heard that choice band would be a good pick for buzzwole here, but I'm not entirely sure if I shouldn't just go for the big root and save my BP instead. I'm not going to worry about the natures so much... Greninja didn't exactly start with a good one, but I can make do with it simply because of how absurdly powerful ash-Greninja gets.
>>
>>30941095
>snorlax kills itself with recoil but still wins the match
That's how it works. As long as you kill your opponent's last mon before yours faints you get the win.
>>
>>30941916
>Now, I heard that choice band would be a good pick for buzzwole here
I think you should go Assault Vest. Band locks you into one move so if the enemy throws out something that counters you you're going to have to switch into something that can take a hit but the problem here is your team is pretty frail. AV also helps mitigate Buzzwole's awful Special Defense.
>>
>>30942207
Yeah, that's a good point, choice band seems like it's better for full 6 on 6 battles anyways, where you can afford to switch out if need be, simply because you have enough pokemon variety to deal with it.

I also by complete accident ended up with a tapu bulu with an adamant nature, so that's going to be a great choice for doubles once I make it there. I know, one step at a time and stuff, yeah but EV spread on him is kind of hard to decide and I'd rather not start level grinding on him until I've figured out his EVs.
>>
>>30942292
Easy
252 HP / 252 Attack / 4 Special Defense
>>
>>30942425
Thank you, I should be able to pick a good moveset for him with that in mind too... oddly enough that'd be a good choice for an assault vest set as well, come to think of it.

1. Mimikyu
Jolly Lum berry
Max atk speed
SD Shadow claw Shadow sneak Play rough

Suggestions please

>>30942040
I'm aware, it's just insult to injury because I would have won if I just got one more turn or attack in.

GGs rng you're not bad all the time.
>>
>>30942575
That strategy probably won't work well, but if you really want to use it replace giga impact with return and give Eelektross a mental herb so it can still use gastro acid after being taunted.
>>
>>30943156
Why the fuck didn't you use Ice Beam again?
How fast can Venusaur be?
>>
>>30943852
Assuming max speed timid on Venusaur I'd be outsped after Salac.
>>
>>30943848
Not him but Normal Type Z-Move is nearly always a 100% OHKO for most non rock/steel type Pokémon out there,

As for Giga Impact yeah no idea why anon is using that instead of return.

Got to 49 in Super Singles with a Aurora Veil Ninetales/Steel Silvally/Megamence team, lost because a -6 Rotom-H OHKO'd Mence with a crit Thunderbolt after using Thunder Wave.

I feel so empty inside now.
>>
>>30944461
So...I'm not the only one who's encountering an absurd amount of heat rotoms today despite them being nowhere in sight my previous run.
>>
>get memed on by a Torterra with Stockpile, Leech Seed and Protect because Protect has fucktons of PP that allows it to be spammed constantly despite this being a flagrant balance issue still unaddressed after 6 generations
>Golisopod only mon left
>Oranguru uses Gigavolt Havoc

The game isn't rigged it just so happens that his stallmon is designed to wall my entire team and his Oranguru has an electric Z-move.

That being said it's amazing that I even got to 39 when Pelipper was an almost permanent fixture as a lead on the enemy team. Facing the same pokemon over and over and over and over again which then vanishes the moment you run coverage for it is challenging, this is considered challenge - it's a "challenge" to be countered nonstop, and then have any attempts to deal with the counter completely ignored.

The only solution then is to just run overpowered pokemon that can't be beaten no matter what, thus invalidation 99% of the pokedex and forcing the game to rely on Quick Claw Sheer Cold.

Holy shit I finally beat the Super Multis mode with the AI and got the last stamp for my passport. I honestly didn't even think getting past 50 was possible with the AI.
Now I can move on with my life and quit being a shitter at pokemon.

Here's the battle video for my 50th battle if anyone wants to see how fucking close I came to losing
NQPW-WWWW-WWW3-A8QU

>>30945413
>Protect has fucktons of PP
It has 10 you whiny bitch.
>>
>>30945413
>designed to wall my entire team
If fucking Torterra walls your team then your team is shit. It's not "designed" specifically against you, it's designed for general stall and you were going to run into it sooner or later with your shit ass team.

Also Protect only has 10 PP.
>>
>Keep running into the same trainers.
>In the 30 range but little of the adult humor GF saves for facilities.

They got lazy for facility dialogue didn't they.
>>
>>30945413
You can beat those shitty sets by pp stalling them through switching.
>>
>>30945516

10 turns of free healing
10 turns of residual damage
10 turns of wasting my PP
Blocks ALL damage AND status, when it should be rebalanced to have a weakness like the new protect variants
Has a priority level so high it ignores other priority moves that are often situational or low PP in the first place.
Poor distribution of counters and even Z-Moves only partially hit through it.
Can be chained together at all when it should actually fail completely if used twice in a row.

Can be 18 PP for 18 turns of smogon stallfaggotry and more importantly, ABSOLUTE BOREDOM.

>hehe I am guaranteed win but it will take 10 minutes because I suffer from autism :)

It's also complete cancer in Doubles and has universal distribution because skill is pressing a button to ignore damage instead of actually using other moves in the long library of moves to use.

For added sugar on top
>Wild pokemon with Protect

Gamefreak should just remove it and Double Team from the game instead of worrying about muh traditions.
>>
>>30945669
Or you could not be an idiot and a) switch spam to drain its pp, b) use the opportunity to set up or c) bring one of torterra's very common weaknesses. More to the point, learn to fucking teambuild.
>>
>>30945669

If you have trouble killing Torterra you have much bigger problems than Protect.
>>
Fuck battle tree. Lost again to bullshit flinches and crits after win 40+. Team was Mega Kang, Garchomp and Chandeulure. Best I've done is 46.

Gonna try a new team. Thinking Megamence, Mimikyu and a third SpAttacker...suggestions?
>>
>>30945800
Koko or Lele are solid choices for a special attackers, but that would mean you would have fairy overlap
>>
Ok I've made it to 49 in super singles. Will I face red or blue? what are their teams?
>>
>>30945962
Red and it varies in pokemon selection and moveset
>>
>>30945800
PorygonZ is good.
>>
>>30945962

Red is the singles boss while Blue runs doubles.
>>
>>30945495
How did you feel when that pidgeot lived with 1 hp on the second last turn? I would have flipped my shit if that latios died after that.

I beat my super multi earlier today also. Was surprised at easy it was, I got lucky i suppose.

Hey, can a Timid Nihilego without a good hidden power be okay for singles?
>>
>>30946220
I wasn't too worried because I was expecting it to try to roost again, but when I saw that hyper beam instead I nearly yelled
>>
>>30946014
What move set and item? Tri attack/dark pulse/ tbolt/ ice beam?
>>
>>30946252
Nihi really appreciates the coverage, but she can get away if the partners are right.
>>
>>30946720
Tbolt/ice beam/shadow ball/conversion with normal z crystal. After Z-conversion it will be +1 in all stats and it will become whatever type the first attack is. Nature can be either timid or modest.
>>
Did streak rewards ruin anyone elses motivation to attempt the tree more then once a day?

Now that I have a team that can easily get a daily streak of 30, I end up feeling that trying again after failing then 30 is just pointless since I'll only get one bottle cap either way even though my goal is getting the stamps.
>>
>>30944461

I run out its hydro pump PP with regenerator toxapex/lightningrod marowak. Just switch back and forth. Similar for other Rotoms.
