The “easiest” (as in the most hax-free) Frontier facility is the Castle, as you have enough tools there to eliminate some of the bullshit you’d have to put up with elsewhere. For example, if you know that you’re next opponent is using OHKO moves (and this is easy to figure out without spending lots of castle points if you have the proper reference material handy), then you can spend a few points to lower the levels of the pkmn that are packing OHKO moves, which completely neuters them because those moves will always fail against targets of a higher level. The only problem is that all of this tinkering with the options slows the whole process down, even though the Castle has the same BP payout as the Tower.

The Hall will actually payout obscenely high amounts of BP if you can make it all the way to the upper levels, but since it’s all 1v1 it’s incredibly easy to be stopped cold from one unlucky turn there.

The Tower is generally the most effective facility when it comes to BP/time. Win 21 matches, concede, repeat. Or if you’ve got 2 DSes handy and 2 copies of Plat/HG/SS, then co-op Tower provides 12BP per game for the first streak and increases from there.

The Factory is impossible. Never play it.

I had one of the tower champions dragonite ocv my entire team 3 or 4 times in a row with a 100% accurate 100% flinch rate dragon rush. That sucked.

lol I’ve had a Muk hold on to Focus Band like 4 times in a row in Battle Tower. I hate that place more than anything in this game, ANYTHING!!!

8686

Serebii and 2ch say this is true, but I hope some details aren’t. At any rate, supposed starter evos. 2ch and Babelfish return:

b/w

Spoiler

I have my doubts on the final evos. I was thinking they could be shops:

Grass = Milotic
Water= Dialga
Fire = Magmortar/Rhyperior

8687

wow Grass/Dragon looks nice but still x4 weak to Ice, but at least is not be crippled by SR…

the other two looks… weird, the fire one looks more like a fighting than the water one, but looks very bulky for a fire type

the water typing is cool, a Poliwrath with better stats??

8688

jeeez. the preaching from bertha was freakin loooooong and boring

8689

Is anyone else obscenely hyped for the Pokemon Marathon also?

8690

eh? :confused:

8691

Yep, looks like the evos were fake. Just shows 2ch isn’t 100% accurate.

Apparently back in the days of Diamond and Pearl, some joker tried to tie in the Shellos line with Lapras as pre-evos. :rofl:

8692

I challenge allan to pokemon match, wifi is up and working again

Smogoner used Breloom and 5-0’d me again. I tired of that fucking thing, counter to come.

Guru record the match on youtube so everybody can see your loss :tup:

8693

it’s called air slash shaymin hohohohohoooo

8694

or bold zapdos [Heat Wave], I hate grass typing in OU. So many steel :o

8695

you are at least aware shay gets earth power + hp to counter steels right

also shaymin is probably going OU this month

8696

oh yeah I forgot about ep, celebi gets it also but isn’t a pure grass type. Their aren’t if many if any high level metagame

Forget guru, I challenge you to pokemon match on wifi. Did you beat my stall team last time?

8697

Grass/Dragon is a typing I’ve always wanted to see.

x4 Water and Electric resistance and Fire neutrality is nice.

8698

resistance to EQ too…

8699

we all knew it was coming…Team Rocket confirmed for Pokemon: Best Wishes anime. They’ll be wearing the black looking rocket costumes

8700

pssh team rocket, why can’t they come up with something new?

speaking of that, another dragon X4 to ice :frowning: runs in the family. Those resistances are boss though.
