The team that got you the farthest at the battle tower.

[myself]

ambipom
metagross
salamence

[Sapphire Phoenix]

Salamence, Lucario, and Milotic. I beat Palmer (single, first time) with them. And for some reason, I used my Milotic against his Milotic... :/

[TR_Jessie]

So I think I've got the most different one D=

96 wins with ...

Ambipom
Porygon-Z
Dusknoir.

Stupid Leafeon Grass Whistle in battle 97 >_>

I know the feeling.

Every time I lose, it's because of the battle tower's supreme luck....

[DonDemio]

My team that got me far in the Battle Tower was:
Latias
Latios
Regigias

I know it seems like a weird choice, but it worked! got me up to battle 83 before it failed.

If people want, i"ll edit this post with the stats and movesets later because My DS is charging.

[manifesto]

i got really far with

ninjask- swords dance/speed boost baton passer
electivire- mixed sweeper (thunderbolt rather than thunderpunch)
mismagius- special sweeper

[Volteon]

this is the effective way to use this team

This is not a RMT thread D:

Well, Nintendo confirmed (at least in Emerald's Frontier) the buildings have higher luck, just to make game more "challenging". I bet they've kept it and the same for Platinum's Battle Area.

... so yeah =/

[Adeku]

Porygon-Z
Mismagius
Absol


Got me to my 89th win in the Tower.

[PKMN Trainer Kenny]

I used

Qwilfish

Toxicroak

Ninetales

and...

Bronzong!

(in tag team or w/e)

I would go into battle and make Qwilfish explode while making my Toxicroak use protect <.<; thats how I got through most of the battles in there XD

[griffins_guardian]

Maybe we could turn this into a discussion thread for what could be a perfect team too?

I was thinking maybe

1. Ninjask, speed/attack passer
2. Smeargle, magnet rise passer
3. Regigigas, immunity to ground, no slow start, and boosted attack and speed.

Seems good, but it obviously has flaws (i. e. Taunt, OHKO moves, priority...)

On the topic of what got me the highest, I actually only had 1 Pokémon that really did well, namely beating the first 21 (including Palmer) without help.

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
252 Att., 252 Speed, 4 HP
Jolly/Adamant (dunno off the top of my head. I think Adamant)
~ Seed bomb
~ Focus Punch
~ Spore
~ Substitute

Yeah, it's standard, but it works.

[EvilAzn]

406 streak and still going
Skarmory + leftovers
Drill Peck
Stealth Rock
Whirl Wind
Roost

Blissey + Lum berry
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Calm Mind
Soft Boiled

Infernape + Life Orb
Close Combat
Earthquake
Grass Knot
Fire Blast

ALOT of close calls with this team against hippodwns that had fire fang and random flailers

My previous team that brought me to 280 was

Garchomp + yache
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Fire Fang
Swords Dance

Raikou + Shuca
Thunderbolt
Shadowball
HP Ice 62 bp
Calm Mind

Bronzong + leftovers
Earthquake
Gyro Ball
Toxic
Explosion

This team had ALOT of problems with CB or Revenge Aerodactyls and Sash/Revenge Weaviles because they outsped my pokemon and put dents that would allow another fast pokemon to take out the weakend pokemon easily.
If you need proof of my win streak refer to the BT ranking hall for pics

... so yeah =/

WHAT?!?!
That Would explain it!...
One question, does that mean When the battle tower people use Double Team It's a even lower chance of hitting than normal? Oww...

Also, does Palmer only apper in single battle?

I'll be back with my team later...

[myself]

i just did a study on how garachomp is uber

and i challenged with adament/ yache garachomp
and a lvl 1 bidoof
and lvl 1 magikarp

i got a 23 streak

[TR_Jessie]

406 streak and still going


My previous team that brought me to 280 was

Dude, are you freakin' serious?! That's incredibly awesome!

[lightlanayru]

I haven't played Diamond in awhile but I can remember what I've done in the Battle Tower.

My team that got me the farthest was...
-Charizard
-Lucario
-Froslass
And my highest streak was 60 wins...yes I survived both of Palmer's fights especially where he used Heatran, Cresselia, and Regigigas :]

[DLO]

Gyarados @ leftovers
-dragon dance
-earthquake
-waterfall
-ice fang

Breloom @ toxic orb

Medicham @ expert belt

[EvilAzn]

Dude, are you freakin' serious?! That's incredibly awesome!

Yea it is. If you want to see pics go to the BT ranking hall somewhere in there should be a link to my photobucket with pics
I'm planning on trying a new team in Platinums BT since there alot of new moves I can make really good use of, like sucker punch on Umbreon.

[Dusk Vampire Kamui]

Well, I had a Gyrados and a Salamance in front of my party in double battle at the battle tower.
Gyrados Male
Item: Wide Lens
Move Set: Ice Fang, Stone Edge, Aqua Tail, and Earthquake
Ability: Intimidate
Salamance Female
Item: Muscle Band
Move Set: Hydro Pump, Dragon claw, Earthquake, and Crunch
Ability: Intimidate

The other two, I randomly use different pokemon for other purposes.

Having both a Gyrados and Salamance can be really useful. They both use intimidate to reduce the opponents Attack, not one but two. Whats more, they both know Earthquake, and I use them to annihilate the opponent. This makes them both the perfect powerhouse.

I made it through 43 Consecutive bouts. It was pretty much a cake walk, easy battle point picking.

For single Battles, I got pretty far with this team.
Venasuar Female
Ability: Overgrow
Item: Black Sludge
Move Set: Sludge Bomb, Leech Seed, Giga Drain, and Earthquake.
I have Venasuar costumed to be constantly recovering, making it a good leech tank.
Milotic Male
Ability: Marvel Scale
Item: Leftovers
Moveset: Hydro Pump, Surf, Dragon Pulse, and Ice Beam.
I could've have a Milotice that knows recover, refresh or mirror coat to replace surf, but I never got around to it. It would've been better.
Salamance Female
Ability: Intimidate
Item: Muscle Band
Move set: Hydro Pump, Crunch, Dragon Claw, and Earthquake.
A perfect powerhouse, just like my Garchomp, Sceptile, Gyrados, Metagross, and Lucario.

I only made in through 42 consecutive bouts. It feels like my team isn't as strong as its supposed to be, because I keep encountering trainers that have pokemon that are stronger than normal, and coordinate their strategies pretty well, embarrassing of all, type disadvantage. Its pretty easy to win against Palmer (first fight) with this team.

[Mokka]

I really like this team in the battle tower I came to the 118:th opponent but lost there but still its impresive. You may ask why i have swagger on my jolt and there is a simple answer to that. The opponent doesnt change their statused pokemons which makes swagger great in tuff situations. metagross explosion is also very handy because he often takes out 1 poke and can explode on the second or on a troublesome poke.

Gyarados @ leftovers
Adamant 216 HP / 16 Atk / 132 Def / 144 Spe

-taunt
-dragon dance
-waterfall
-Ice fang

Metagross @ Life orb

-meteor mash
-bullet punch
-explosion
-Earthquake

[XXXD]

i was flying through a 39 win streak with my electivire, garchomp and lucario when all of a sudden. I had to fight THAT pokemon. the gliscor with guillotine and wide lens. personally, i don't believe that having something that is sent out last and keeps using a cheap move until it finishes off your entire team is a sign of skill - more like a sign of nintendo forcing you to waste 1/3 of your team on something with sturdy as an ability.
