Battle Dome FAQ

Battle Dome FAQ:

Basic Definition: The Battle Dome is the tournament facility. 16 trainers enter, so you have to win 4 to win the tournament. As the start of each match, you can check you opponents 3 Pokemon. You then choose 2 of yours, to fight in a 2v2 match.

Difficulty: 1st of 7 on easiness scale (Easiest)

Team: Latios @ Lum Berry: Calm Mind, Psychic, Dragon Claw, Thunderbolt
Swampert @ Leftovers: Earthquake, Surf, Ice Beam, Counter
Metagross @ Choice Band: Meteor Mash, Earthquake, Shadow Ball, Explosion (May hold Lax Incense until as late as Set 7 if do not have any losses, as will not have the Battle Points to afford the Choice Band before then)

Manipulation: None.

The reason this is the easiest facility is for 3 reasons.
A) Even though there are 10 sets, this has the lowest amount of battles, as 10x4 = 40, whereas 6x7 = 42.
B) You get to see your opponents team before the match and plan accordingly, meaning you never get blind-sighted by a bad combination, which is almost always how you lose
C) IVs of opponent Pokemon do not increase at all throughout the challenge. Meaning even on Set 10, they all have IVs of 3, making them pitifully weak compared to other facilities.
