Battle Tower Team Building Guide

[GarSlizer]

No, the TrickScarfer will just Pass a Sub, nothing else. The other two members will boost on their own. It's also a Timid Espeon, hard to outrun and Pursuit is only in the lower ranks (as is Rapid Spin).

[Eon Master]

^Espeon isn't really that good as a TrickScarfer, way too frail. Also, it's better if the setup sweeper uses Sub.

Also, seeing as you just handed the opponent a Choice Scarf, you'll have a much harder time outrunning it before it faints Espeon.

[GarSlizer]

Well, who IS a good TrickScarfer? I'm not so sure about "Sub then set up" because I want perfect coverage on all the sets where possible and with only two offensive moves, that can be hard (though Lucario can do so easily).

[Eon Master]

^You don't need perfect coverage. Take V4E's Scizor example. It only has Bullet Punch. Coverage matters very little at +6, and SE coverage matters even less.

Some good examples of TrickScarfers would be Dusknoir, Latias, Uxie, Cresselia, Spiritomb, Porygon2, Clefable, Mismagius, and Gardevoir. Latias and Uxie are probably the best ones.

[GarSlizer]

Ho, hooo...so what would be good Natures for Latias and Uxie? Oh, and thanks about the coverage advice, I guess I'll keep my Lucario with a Sub-CM and use a Sub-SD Garchomp.

[Eon Master]

That's a good idea.

Latias@Choice Scarf
Bold
Ev's:252Hp/236Def/20Sp.Def
~Levitate~
-Trick
-Thunder Wave
-Flash
-Recover

The Latias I used on my 142 win BT Team. Flash can be replaced by a myriad of options, but I find that Flash works best.

Uxie@Choice Scarf
Bold
Ev's:252Hp/68Def/188Sp.Def
~Levitate~
-Trick
-Thunder Wave
-Stealth Rock
-Memento

Possibly the best TrickScarfer in the game, Latias only outclasses it situationally.

[GarSlizer]

Gahh! How can I get those!? I mean, sure Latias will appear in HG/SS, but I can't wait that long! Oh well, I'll check my Uxie's nature and go form there.

[GarSlizer]

Gahh! How can I get those!? I mean, sure Latias will appear in HG/SS, but I can't wait that long! Oh well, I'll check my Uxie's nature and go form there. Will the +Def, -SAtk Nature do? (I can't think of it's name off the bat)

[Eon Master]

^Impish. And yeah, it's the same. As for Latias, do you have Sapphire or Emerald?

[AlCario]

Gahh! How can I get those!? I mean, sure Latias will appear in HG/SS, but I can't wait that long! Oh well, I'll check my Uxie's nature and go form there. Will the +Def, -SAtk Nature do? (I can't think of it's name off the bat)

Impish. And it's fine, so long as you don't use attacks, which you shouldn't.

Edit: Beaten.

GarSlizer: fix that double posting thing your computer keeps doing. Also, don't clutter this thread with all this "help me build a team" nonsense.

Haze destroys the increase...not that anything in the Battle Tower uses it.

Which is why stat-up is such a great strategy in the Tower

Very sorry,...really!

[Vaporeon4evr]

Very sorry,...really!

Not a problem, just giving you a fair heads up.

Why do you need good comments to read something like this? The guide is amazing enough in itself.

[Dan The Poke Man]

Because, I barley ever read anything unless a lot of people say it's good.

[bleeding-chocobo]

This guide is really good. ^_^
