- TEAM DESCRIPTION
- This is an attempt to create the best offensive team for the Battle Tower, for the purposes of attaining a long streak without using emulator speedups. Defensive teams often win using PP stalling strategies, which prolong battles to an unreasonable degree for console runners.
- TEAM STRATEGY
- Medicham is the best offensive Pokemon for defeating major threats such as Lapras, Rhydon, the Regis, and the Latis. So leading it allows these Pokemon to be OHKO'd without getting a single turn.
- Medicham struggles against basic Electric, Grass, Poison and Flying types, but Latios handles these easily. Medicham can also use Fake Out before switching when it sees a lead it doesn't like.
- Suicune is a physical wall that can switch in with minimal risk against the likes of Salamence, Metagross and Aerodactyl. It also can set up and sweep most teams.
- More coming soon!
- THREATLIST
- - Almost entirely Brightpowder mons; Suicune and Medicham match up incredibly well against Quick Claw users
- - Heracross3: Brightpowder; if it's the lead, you must sacrifice Medicham or Suicune and then send in Latios; you usually lose if Latios misses Psychic.
- - Espeon4: Brightpowder and Calm Mind. Missing Shadow Ball into Calm Mind would be a loss if not for Medicham's Fake Out (which still has to hit).
- - Scizor4: Brightpowder + can't be OHKO'd + Swords Dance/Agility and Silver Wind boosts. When it runs out of Silver Wind PP, it will Baton Pass its boosts to the next teammate (often a strong Bug or Rock/Steel type).
- - Sceptile4: Brightpowder + outspeeds Medicham + strong moves against the whole team
- - Alakazam4: Brightpowder + outspeeds Medicham + strong moves against the whole team
- - Crobat4: Brightpowder + outspeeds the whole team and has Confuse Ray. Suicune isn't a reliable counter once it gets poisoned by Sludge Bomb.
- - Muk4: Can beat Medicham with a crit or Quick Claw activation, and then Quick Claw explode on Latios or Suicune to force you into a 1v2
- - Metagross8: The other tricky Quick Claw user. Can be big trouble if it gets the Attack boost from Meteor Mash on the switch to Suicune, since it then beats Suicune 1v1 and OHKOs Medicham and Latios. This is the one Pokemon that punishes Suicune for not running 112 Speed.
- - Zapdos: Usually beats Medicham and Suicune, so it's big trouble if Latios is dead.
- - Ursaring1/2/4: Quick Claw and Brightpowder + usually OHKOs Medicham. Suicune usually beats it with low HP, which is risky.
