Battle Factory FAQ

The Battle Factory is a facility where you use rental pokemon to battle instead of your own. At the end of each battle, you are given the option to swap one of your pokemon for one of the pokemon used by your previous opponent. You need to win 21 times (3 sets) for the Silver Print and 49 (7 sets) times for the Gold Print.

You get the option to do two formats: Level 50 and Open Level (level 100), where the pokes vary depending on which one you choose. I will do Level 50 for this run, due to how the hp bars will move down faster when the pokes have lower hp.

Difficulty: 5/5 (hardest)

Rng Manipulation: Primary rng determins both which pokemon the opponent brings and which pokemon are available for you to rent out. As such, rng manipulation for this facility is primarly done to get good pokemon options from rentals.

It's also worth noting that this facility has an item clause, meaning you cannot have two pokemon on your team with the same item and your opponent's team will never have any pokes with same items as yours. As a result, swapping pokemon can cause pokemon in future battles to not appear when they otherwise would have due to them having the same item as the swapped pokemon. We can abuse this by swapping out specific pokemon to prevent the opponent from having undesirable pokes.

Other: This facility is overall the hardest both because the pokes we use don't always have good movesets and also because the last battle of each set has an opponent with pokes that are only available to us on the next set. In other words, the last battle of each set will have us face much harder pokes than usual. As a result, the last battle of each sets (especially the earlier ones) are rather dicey.
