you have to grind bp here or the battle tree for the destiny knot, as it's the only way to get one besides getting lucky with a level 50 pickup pokemon

>yfw Rotation, Sky, Inverse and 3-on-3 Battles were removed for this mode
>>31455926
Triples and Rotation were removed because of Gamefreak's shitty optimization. The same that makes Doubles, Battle Royal, and Totem fights run like ass.

If it's that big of a issue just homebrew your 3ds even. If your worried about bricking your ds don't be you have to be a autism to fuck it

>be a autism
Fuck I'm stupid
>>31455961
They worked in XY though. They could have just removed the trainer models during Triple and Rotation to run better instead of dumping them completely.

>>31455926
literally nobody liked sky battles you deluded fuck. You really thought you needed to pad your list with that stupid shit?
>>31456117
But don't you want a bunch of particle effects on your 20000 polygon count pokemon model when they use Z-moves, anon? :^)

I fuckin' love this shit, I dunno what you're on about. Online battles in this format are super fun, too, it's a shame it seems to be dead most of the time.
>>31456338
>why don't more people want to do this stupid shit with me when it runs at a silky smooth 60 frames per hour and ends when the first player is out instead of the last player standing?
it's a mystery

It makes for some crazy moments, and you really gotta rethink your strategy. Runs fine on N3DS, only small dips sometimes.
Once had a battle where my only pokemon left was a frozen dragonite and everyone completely ignored it focusing on eachother trying to get enough points to win. I thawed out 3 turns later and took the winning kill with a boosted dragon claw.

>Runs fine on N3DS
I can confirm this is absolute bullshit.
I probably get max 15 FPS at any given time in a double battle let alone in a four way, where I get like 10.
>>31456564
I said fine, not amazing. Guess I just have lower standards than you for the animations in my turn-based RPGs.

>level 50 pickup pokemon
I got it with a Meowth in the low 20s. Figured I'd pickup grind while looking for Bagon and I had the worst luck finding one. Found the Destiny Knot well before finding Bagon
>>31456338
I think it's an alright alternative to grinding bp at the tree. The ai is so weird it got a chuckle out of me aa few times. The lag is torture, though.
>your three opponents mega evolve at the same time
>they all use Protect
>>31455864
I like Royale in concept because the idea of strategically killing mons to rack up points while not dying makes for interesting tactics. Problem with the mode for me is the AI is absolute garbage that seems to only gang up on you and piss you off. I imagine Royale is fun with friends but not everyone has 3+ friends with 3DS's.

That's what Battle Spot is for, but it takes a bit to get a match sometimes.
