Love the gen 3 iv/ev content! Really inspiring me to make a battle frontier team.

So glad you're doing this. I thought it was literally just me in the world still playing emerald battle frontier. 💪 Thanks bro

Bro me too!

Amazing video love watching you EV train keep it up

great update. yes man protect plus pressure is literally the goat. its not the most exciting gameplay but stall just crushes the battle tower.

Great vid! Really enjoyable :-)

so glad to see a maxed steelix. Still working on my shiny lugia, up to 4000 resets, taking much longer than I thought. Super excited to get it over with so I can continue working on my team. Thanks for the upload bro

Thank you for uploading. I've been diving back into emerald and I've never taken the battle frontier seriously. Watching your videos gets my excited to start taking it seriously - I've also gotten back into yugioh on master duel, so I enjoy the yugioh presence as well. Appreciate you,

If you don’t have this playing in the background while you’re also playing FR/LF/RBY/SPHR/ERLD, you’re not gaming. Simple 🫡

I’m steadily grinding away emerald myself, been chipping away for years but this past month got back into it big time. Main targets being a living dex, all gold frontier medals & 1 ribbon master. Spent most of this week IV breeding a nice trio of Gyarados, Porygon2 & Heracross Love the videos! YT algorithm doing wonders putting your vids in my suggested 🎉

niceeee. Interesting team! Hope u get some medals soon. Glad the algo found your feed

Haven't clicked on a video so fast - I also love Steelix's design! From where do you get your strats? Smogon, forums or are those your own ideas?

@nostalgicnighthawk

i just wanna use my fav pokes. So i start there and then go on the battle frontier forms to get some ideas on moveset. Also try to figure it out on my own too

I recently got all gold prints in heart gold battle frontier it is SUCH a good feeling. Battle Factory took soooo long to get and luck really has to be in your favor. It’s brutal and it takes a lot of patience. I enjoy watching these vids!

For Breeding I prefer soft reset method in Emerald,(itvis mentioned in Smogen article with detail) I got Lapras with 31 Iv's in Def & SpA

i havent looked into this but ill check it out!

Just got an Gameboy sp and all 5 gba pokemon games! played them all so much growing up havent in years. Goals are Shiny team for first playthrough, then complete the pokedex and last all gold symbols ! got my next couple years of gaming figured out. Your channel is great keep us posted on what you doing! also metagross would be gross with t tar and duskclops! but hes over used so i get not using him steelix is an awesome pick. if you facing a water mon use explosion you will most likely KO the mon if you dont die by the first hit.

It would be slow but using exp. share in the Mt. Moon paras rooms you could combine attack EV grinding with mushroom grinding (for the move relearner).

Does the Pokemon Guides (books) you have, show information of the EV yields a defeated Pokemon gives out? Just wanted to check because I'm interested in getting a physical guide seems they are pretty neat. Great vid! :)

they do not, they just show basic information. The online guide are better! Love the old guides tho for the nostalgia

That’s a nice looking steelix! I’m grinding the battle tower now too with my team of Flygon, Magneton, and Milotic. I haven’t broken through 50 wins yet. This is TOUGH

solid team! Best of luck you got it

When people years ago said breeding for good pokemon is addictive I did not believe them. But after returning to Emerald, I have spent 160+ hours breeding several battle frontier worthy pokémon. I think I'm now going to stop and actually try some of my teams out though lol. Just finished breeding a decent enough snorlax. Time to ev train and then onto the battle frontier!

bro I just got 2 gba sp's and emerald and fire red, the only problem is that the game are repo's, I started a fire red save on my steam deck but you motivated me to do it the old fashion way lol I'm currently looking for an authentic version of leaf green so i can transfer the pokemons to 4th gen later on but definitely not paying 225$ for it. but I'm super excited to start ev training tho.

TBH pokesav is free, I mainly use it to check IVs and when I'm done with gen 3 I'll get one level 5 pokemon to start Platinum with it alongside starter just to not mess up gamelay too much

And what are you playing on?

Uhhhhh I don't know if it's true they'll keep breeding the moves after leveling in daycare if not removed.. Maybe it is a Emerald feature? Ill look more into it without saving. Good to know!

@KingKoral

7 күн бұрын

Same goes for FRLG: while I was breeding my Pokemon learned parents old moves until I took them back. Then they started learning recent ones, so it's best to either keep serebii/bulbapedia open or breed high level parents with all necessary moves already learned

@BugCatcher-S

7 күн бұрын

@@KingKoral That's what I do. Pretty much I keep an empty slot open if it's not a full list of moves to breed and won't always level up to the max before breeding. Am I gonna level a magmar parent until 59 for fireblast to be out of the way? Hell no. I keep an eye on levels in regards to moves learned and delete along the way.

​@BugCatcher-S That's the way! I also switch moves on parents so the most important one is always 4th so I don't accidentally lose it

They will keep passing on the moves they knew when they entered the daycare even after they are deleted, but only in Emerald as far as I know. I was just testing it myself a few weeks ago, but I have not tried it in any other gen 3 game.

Fun little fact you can face real player teams controlled by AI at the Battle Tower when you mix records. I feel like barely anyone knows about this feature 😅 "On occasion, the recorded players may be placed with the exact team, moveset, and stats in the spot they lost in the Battle Tower. For example, if the recorded player broke their streak and lost at the 45th battle, it is possible that the player will be able to fight the recorded player at the 45th battle."
