- --------------------
- IV. BATTLE DOME
- --------------------

- --------------------
- V. BATTLE PIKE
- --------------------
- You cannot receive a heal unless it is useful (HP, PP, status)
- You cannot get a double battle if you have only 1 Pokemon
- Probably just YOLO the early rooms, then check the girl for later rooms or when weakened
- > "Nostalgia" is best in later rooms (except sets 2 and 10)
- > "Aroma" is bad unless really desperate (dead to a normal trainer battle)
- > Kill Sevipers if it causes a heal to be possible
- Percentages (almost certainly inaccurate): http://www.serebii.net/emerald/tube.shtml
- Lucy 1: Psychic, CM+CM+TB, Psychic+Psychic (if Latios dies, Meta and Swampert generally beat Milotic)
- Lucy 2: Psychic, CM+TB, Psychic+Psychic+Psychic (if Latios dies, Meta generally beats both, and Swampert beats Steelix)
- --------------------
- VI. BATTLE TOWER
- --------------------
- UPC seems to be accurate with IVs
- Anabel 1: TB+TB, switch to Metagross, Explosion, send in Swampert, EQ+EQ
- Anabel 2: Try to win CM war with Raikou (if he crits, Swampert still beats it, and Metagross beats the other 2)
- Win chance: (0.991^7)*(0.983^7)*(0.974^7)*(0.974^7)*(0.974^7)*(0.974^6)*0.99
- How to deal with difficult BF4 pokes (slightly dated; see chart):
- - Granbull: Switch to Metagross (tank 2 Mega Kicks, and he's locked into it with CB; MM always OHKOs)
- - Jynx: Switch to Metagross (IB does ~46, you outspeed the 21 IVs, CB EQ always OHKOs)
- - Mr. Mime: Switch to Metagross (always outspeed)
- - Lanturn: Psychic+Psychic (he'll Confuse Ray or IB)

- - Starmie: TB (he'll outspeed and IB)
- - Vaporeon: CM+TB+TB
- - Espeon: DC+DC (if 31 IV, switch to Metagross, then SB (tank 3 Bites))
- - Umbreon: Switch to Metagross, MM+MM (YOLO confusion)
- - Blastoise: CM+TB (CM+CM+TB if 31 IVs)
- - Feraligatr: CM+TB

- - Milotic: CM+CM+TB
- - Salamence: DC (if missed range into DD, switch to Swampert to kill it with DE recoil)
- - Metagross: Switch to Metagross, EQ(+EQ)
- Protect + Leftovers is OP
- Manip might be possible, but it seems hard/inconsistent
- --------------------
- VIII. BATTLE ARENA
- --------------------
- Lead Latios in rounds 1-6, Metagross in rounds 7-8
- Give Quick Claw to Metagross (maybe CB for early rounds)
- Give Choice Band to Swampert (maybe Leftovers for early rounds)

- > If Swampert survives Slaking, switch to Metagross-->Latios at the first good opportunity (usually Yawn)
- > Keep Latios in if you get Yawned and still have the Lum Berry
