thanks! hope you like

This is the exact same team I had as a kid for battle tower (I had Ruby instead of Emerald) My Dusclops had confuse ray, will-o-wisp, curse and shadow ball. Salamance had Flamethrower, Fly, Dragonbreath and Hyper Beam(Not 100% sure) Aggron had Brick Break, Earthquake, Surf and I can't remember the last move. Really funny coincidence that you ended up with the same team 20 years later.

Congrats on your Salamence!! I have a soft spot for Flygon as well. It’s type/ability combo (ground+levitate🔥) make it a MUCH more valuable pick in later gens tho where steel, ground, fire, electric types threaten EVERYTHING. Never discount playing with your favorite Pokémon. That’s what we’re here for! Your Aggron and Dusclops offer a lot of walling and counterplay to Ice threats. I think your team is well rounded and well though out! Dynamic. Don’t be afraid to play into rng a bit too with your held items as well.

Hi dude! Congratulations the team is built! These videos are so so awesome, it’s so great watching gaming in its purest form, without using meta-Pokemon or trying to speedrun and taking your time. Great job, my friend. I’ve just got a question - how do you deal with burnout? Have you ever experienced it?

@nostalgicnighthawk

3 ай бұрын

Glad you like the videos! Yea i like to experience these games in a certain way. Its comforting. And burnout with KZread or with these games? Assuming burnout in the games: i typically dont grind these every day. Typically ill play a few hours each week or for like 20 minutes before bed. i usually wont get burnt out like this. However sometimes there will be a month or 2 where I wont want to play at all. I dont force myself to play because I want to only play for enjoyment. If that makes sense. So i dont feel burn out because i dont pressure myself to play when I dont want to and i dont play for hours every day. I try to keep it sustainable haha

@@universaljojo968 so far dusclops is low key a beast. Salamence sometimes gets wiped and Aggron cannot survive a water move. Dusclops wins everytime

congratulations on the Salamence! Having 3 IVs at 31 is quite good for doing everything legally. After watching the entire video, I would like to ask you some questions and also give you some advice. First of all, why that Salamence moveset without any Dragon-type attacks? Salamence can learn various moves, and the Dragon type provides STAB, which means it deals 50% more damage being of its own type. Also, you could easily defeat other Dragon types. Secondly, why didn't you choose the Adamant nature? It lowers Special Attack, and since your moveset doesn't use any special attacks - well, I think the Flying-type move might be special, but anyway... I don't understand why that moveset, and Double-Edge, provides no coverage at all and which also hurts you, doesn't seem very good. Is it a special strategy for the Battle Frontier? I feel like your Salamence isn't well-built. Please don't take offense; it's constructive criticism!. Best nature for salamence is JOLLY.. so u can outspeed many pokemons and kill them. Jolly or Timid if your going with SPA. if you straight away with physical attacks you should use dragon dance and dragon claw/outrage its a must in physical salamence in my opinion I haven't played Emerald in years, but what I do remember is that the Battle Frontier is difficult because there are Pokémon that can KO you in one hit, and as always, the PC seems to have a lot of RNG in its favor, always hitting accurately... Did you choose the team because you like those Pokémon or did you think of a strategy for the Battle Frontier? I also think that Salamence can be a mixed sweeper with Flamethrower/Fire Blast, very useful against all Steel types. Even though it has higher physical attack, it learns a better moveset of special attacks, so it can be played as a mixed sweeper. This happens a lot with strong Pokémon that learn a large number of moves; the more moves, the more coverage, and therefore, the Pokémon is better in battles, especially Salamence, which just goes in to kill. I also wanted to ask if you use Smogon or any guide to guide you? And finally, congratulations on your effort and dedication to all this. Now, please upload a video playing the Battle Frontier; I would love to see your Pokémon in action. Besides, it's very entertaining. I know it must be a big effort to edit, but at least a video showing how you play the battle! A warm hug :) Joel

1. In this generation, dragon moves are all Special Attacking so those moves wouldnt be as powerful as using a physical one. However the STAB bonus is something to consider. I always forget this. 2.a. I wanted Adamant nature and was breeding for it. The bagons in the breeding center had that nature with an everstone. By chance, this naughty natured Bagon hatched and it had overall insane IVs that I decided to train this one. I wrote about it more in-depthly here! nostalgicnighthawk.com/third-pokemon-for-battle-frontier-team/ 2.b. Double Edge is dumb but I didnt know what other move to include that was physical. Maybe I will replace with Dragon Claw even though it is special. This is currently a filler spot. Also no offense taken, these are respectable questions. I did wanted dragon dance however in this Gen it can only be learned via egg moves. I didnt know that until after I trained it up loool. 3. Battle Frontier seems to have a lot of good RNG. Like they crit often and they seem to never hurt themselves with confusion haha. 4. I chose the team because I like the Pokemon and thought it would be a somewhat diverse enough. This is not the most optimal team and there are some great ones discussed on pokemon forms. But I wanted to use some of my favorites and not copy someone else's experience. Maybe in the future I will but I wanted to run it fresh with my thoughts. 5. A special attacking Salamence might be better because of the moves that can be learned. I agree with what you said. Might be a good option to try in the near future. I will need to retrain one. Having moves like Crunch, Dragon Claw, Fire Blast would been GREAT. 6. I use mostly Smogon guides for the IV and EV training and getting a general idea of what to build. I havent looked up much for the battle frontier though. I havent looked up any guides for that. I also use Serbii as a main resource too for looking random things up. Lastly thankssss it is nice to share these experiences. i will post a video soon with the battle frontier! Hope I got to all your questions!
