I love THIS version of Pokémon Sword and Shield's as you don't have to worry about losing your victory streak, pretty much making Galar Battle Tower, essentially an Endless Mode of Battles. My team for Pokémon Sword is Rillaboom, Cinderace, Inteleon, and Zacian-Crowned Sword, as my starters can Gigantamax as well. I prefer SwSh's Battle Tower over Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearls Sinnoh Battle Tower, as that game is WAY more punishing, as you can only win consecutively, without losing once, whereas Galar is easily more forgiving if you lose, as you don't lose your victory streak at all. I once got up to 10k victories in both Singles and Double Battles in the Galar Battle Tower, and it took me about 2 whole years since those games came out, and I LOVED the whole experience of it all!

Tbh I just used the borrowed Pokemon from the skill set, Gyarados, Falinks and Grimmsnarl. Gyarados has dragon dance which you get use once or twice to go for the sweep and take out Leon’s charizard a joke. Falinks has a choice scarf and no retreat that buffs all it’s stats but gets rid of its ability to switch out, which when combined with Gigantamax close combat makes it an unstoppable buffed machine. Grimmsnarl is a decent wall with bulk up and leftovers which definitely helps too. It’s not as OP as Dracovish is but it got me through with a few loses

Before watching this, I used a team consisting of mainly a Baton Passing Ninjask, G-max Charizard, and most importantly a sweeping Dracovish to get to Master ball rank. Quite a coincidence that I found this vid that talks about Dracovish’s value in the Battle tower.

[@WingedRonin]

I'm still experimenting on how to play around my Dracovish. The best I've been doing right now is this: Use Ferrothorn to set up hazards (in order to bypass sturdy, focus sash etc), either stealth rock or Spikes or even both for the big chunk of damage, depending on your playstyle or I just oneshot glass cannons that are far faster than it and weak to steel. After the hazards I usually do as much damage as possible before it faints. Now my Pelipper comes in, 8 turns of rain, I set up Tailwind and then usually leave him to die as well or switch via U-turn if I think Dracovish can tank one hit. Finally switch into Dracovish and sweep everything with Fishious Rend. Don't even bother using another move, they are just there to make you feel not depressed when looking onto 1 move. The maths for Dracovish: 85 basepower x1.5 Strong Jaw, x1.5 STAB; making it a 191.25 basepower just because of typing and ability. x2 if outspeeds; if all of the setups and pre-setups (IVs, EVs, item) are working: 382.5 power x1.5 if rain; Pelipper's Drizzle: *573.75* power, this is the usual power you'll be dealing with. x2 if super effective; 1147.5 power (against the following types: FIRE, GROUND, ROCK; types that don't matter: normal, electric, ice, fighting, psychic, ghost, dark, fairy) x2 if 2 times super effective; a stunning *2295* power (against following combinations: fire/ground, fire/rock, ground/rock) Down below are the movesets, etc. for the pokemon I use: Ferrothorn @ Leftovers Ability: Iron Barbs EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD IVs: 0 Spe Sassy Nature - Spikes / Leech Seed - Stealth Rock/ Leech Seed - Gyro Ball - Power Whip Pelipper @ Damp Rock Ability: Drizzle EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Bold Nature - Tailwind - Roost - U-turn - Hurricane Dracovish @ Choice Scarf Ability: Strong Jaw EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Fishious Rend - Outrage - Psychic Fangs - Crunch

[@chompyzilla]

If you consider the Tailwind boost, would it be fast enough to use Choice Band instead?

[@WingedRonin]

@@chompyzilla it definitely would. I have no idea if there is any meta relevant Pokemon that can be even faster. Maybe a hand full of pokemon. Might be worth considering.

I'm sorry if this rubs off as rude, but you can LITERALLY BEAT THE TOWER USING THE BASIC RENTAL TEAM. Strat: 1. Haxorus 2. Cinderace 3. Togekiss Haxorus will be sent out first, used as a Dragon Dance sweeper. Failing that, Cinderace and Togekiss are powerful rentals that can finish off remaining mons.

I see a Johnstone vid, I click. Call me Swoobat, ‘cause I’m a simple man.

[@samd8018]

A recommendation which made me unbeaten was: Borrow “Tough Team”. Use Mimikyu first. Use Sword Dance. Then sweep everyone.

[@wadeconroy3467]

I just used the basic team, togekiss is just that bulky!

[@marcorubio4628]

Two minutes in you hooked me. New sub. Looking forward to the future together. Ayaya

[@DeadlyDuel]

My team for the battle tower is Rotom-H, Duraludon, Mimikyu. all of them max ivs and evs with their respective competitive builds. they pretty much brought me up to master ball rank with no losses. it was fun!

[@secretagent9894]

Liar. You cannot get “max” EVs. You are only allowed to max TWO stats only not max all. If you’re going to lie make sure not to make it too obvious :).

[@solzv0]

Ik I’m late but, thank you so much! This really helped!

[@LFPman]

Thank u for the team greatly... now to see if I can rust up on my strategy

[@nickwalor7422]

Used your tips. Thanks!

[@inFamous_Izanagi]

I wish you could still work with a friend locally in the battle tower like in sun and moon.

[@cinnamonpanda6040]

So fishious rend, 170 almost guaranteed with choice scarf, with STAB, with STRONG JAW.....WTF

[@jameclockwork]

Cinnamon Panda in the Rain it kills Toxapex so yeah

[@flamo2666]

If you want to make it even better... rain dance...

[@kitty185_]

goOf or baton pass a dragon dance

[@soppysock]

Fishious Rend actually doesn’t double power on the switch, but it does on U-Turn/Volt Switch. Doesn’t make it any less busted lmao, just a little note

[@ATROFlAR]

How does it double power on u-turn if you have to get hit by it...?

[@soppysock]

ATROFlAR it doubles power on the Pokémon coming in if they’re slower, but it does not do that for switching, probably cause switching is in a different speed tier than volt/turn.

[@coolhwhip49]

To sum up this video in 4 words: thank u mr fish

[@junehanabi1756]

Rented the team and there were some difficulties but seemed to be working at first but near the top of the pokeball their it started losing left and right and getting one hit ko'ed. Now I'm all the way back down to the initial rank of pokeball teir and never made it past to the next teir. EDIT: Well I guess 2nd times the charm, everything went smoothly 2nd time. No idea but now I'm at great ball teir.

[@tobequitefranco]

:O *immediately takes Dracovish out of storage*

[@AFXffs772]

Catch Ditto -> Catch other Pokemon -> Get nature -> Buy jars -> Complete

[@Madx2326]

Jars?

[@LRAStartFox]

There's also hyper training, so you don't even need to breed for good IVs; not to mention that you can easily bring any Pokemon to level 100 with the candies, and also just give it the nature mint you want

[@cy-bernet-ix]

i made a whole ass competitive team using only ingame items and ev training this game is so wild and i love it
