U-Turn and Swords Dance is stupid. Run X-Scissor instead of U-Turn. Lead Aero is pretty much useless in Battle Tower' date=' use something else.

Entry hazards are useless in Battle Tower in general. D:

 

I run a Trick Latias with Draco Meteor. Since Latias can take a hit, Trick a Choice (either Specs or Scarf, I forgot really) onto the opponent. If they used something like Earthquake, switch to Salamence. If they used something like Ice Punch, switch to Registeel (which are your other two Pokemon).

 

Fun fact; if a Pokemon is setting up and they are Choiced onto a nve move, they won't switch out. Unless you pose an actual threat, they WILL NOT SWITCH OUT. Meaning you can set up 6 DDances with Salamence (Roost is needed) or 6 Iron Defenses and Amnesias with Registeel (Rest is needed) and they won't care. Sweep with Salamence's Outrage and Earthquake, and Registeel's Iron Head.

Wait...I'm confused. It might be a lack of transition that's making me think this but, if you have a Latias out, why would you switch to Salamence if they have EQ? Latias has Levitate so there's really no point...I don't know. I got 4 hours of sleep, I'm extremely confused.

Latias can't really do anything, and if I set up with Salamence, I can sweep all three Pokemon. If I kill the first one with Draco Meteor or something, how will I setup with Salamence later?

 

Also, I semi-RNGd on my SoulSilver (more like SR, lol), and I ended up getting Modest with 29 Speed IVs. It's really crappy, I know. But I'm reading Smogon's RNG articles and I will Wondercard RNG my Diamond Jirachi.

 

I'm going for Timid with 31/x/x/31/x/31, meaning 31 IVs in HP, SpA and Speed. :D

 

EDIT: No, never mind. The next time a Lv100 one comes around, I'll think about it. Jirachi doesn't have a set nature and it's impossible to check IVs at Level 5. D:

I need to know if this is good or not. It's in-game btw, it will never be used for competitive battle.

 

I started yet another file on Emerald and chose Treeko. I SR'd till I got a decent natured one, then hacked him to Lv50 (I cba to hack him to 100) to see if the IVs are good. Here's what I got.

 

Modest

18/16/8/30/8/26 or 19/17/9/31/9/27.

 

SpA and Spe were my main concerns, and they're pretty good. I wish his defenses were higher though. That's the only thing I'm upset about. D:

Those aren't bad IVs; not in the slightest.

 

For the Jirachi event, I got really lazy of SRing, and as stated before I won't RNG, so I ended up getting one Modest with crap IVs, and one Bold with crap HP and SpD IVs.

 

i r ttly smrt

 

Oh, I am getting back into RNGing on Diamond, but there isn't anything TO RNG anymore (and I don't IV breed, so screw Ditto) other than shiny Eggs. But I'm also getting back into chaining.

 

idk nymoar

Timid, Modest, Hasty, Mild

 

Four good natures. You'll only need to catch around 7 Ralts to find one of these natures, and they aren't AMAZINGLY hard to find around that route west of Oldale.

 

EDIT: Calm is also viable, meaning you only need to find 6 Ralts on average to get one of these natures.

 

Y'know, cause 5/26 is about 19%, but saying you only need to find 5 on average would be incorrect.
