Top 10 Pokémon To Use For Battle Tower Master Rank

[@operatorg6098]

Why do some of your recommendations show 0 IV in certain stats?

[@Meclord24]

The reason for 0 Ivs on certain Pokémon, which in the video were all special attackers, is so they they take less damage from attacks that use their attack stat as a damage modifier such as foul play as well as when a Pokémon hits itself from confusion a 0 Iv will make it do less damage.

[@EldenWeeb]

“A little more difficult” I literally lost a 21 streak at Masters because I missed one attack. A little is an understatement

[@mungolockhart3875]

Thats just rng for you. I won a losing battle because Gyarados landed an ice fang freeze and bought himself at least 2 extra turns of dragons dance and leftovers healing. Tanked 1 more hit then won.

[@torbolion]

I feel your pain, I lost 28 streak because of a critical hit

[@gille1.091]

Yesterday i lost at 34 round cause my Milotic hit himself 2 times, can't move cause paralys, then hit himeself 2 times more. To a fucking Golbat.

[@EmasterAnimations1525]

I recently lost to a dragon trainer at 43!!!! It's pain

[@shawn3126]

For evs on Azumarill its best to run 244 in hp because you'll end up with 206 hp and will always activate the sitrus berry when using belly drum from full heath.

[@Meclord24]

thanks for the help my dude

[@shawn3126]

@@Meclord24 happy to help :)

[@VictorCardosoMoraes]

With gengar I prefer a focus sash to allow you to set up nasty plot. That way you don’t need to worry as much about coverage in typing cause shadow ball/sludge bomb will ohko most things. Dazzling gleam is a good 3rd attack for the bulky dragons/dark/fighting. :)

[@worms64]

I use energyball instead off Dazzling gleam

[@brad6938]

Blazakin . Use swords dance . Protect . Reversal and fire punch . And focus sash . Reversal kills almost everything in one shot at 1 health

[@Meclord24]

I was seeing this one alot too

[@zachzervas9525]

I have this too, except he’s Jolly with Blaze Kick. I bred for 5 IVs too. I’d switch to adamant but I don’t want to breed again lol

[@Flossyvill]

[@Serious5GamingS5G]

My team for the battle tower in og pokemon Pearl is Raikou, Cresselia, and Dragonite, Raikou and Cresselia have Thunderwave and Flash, Raikou has Roar to (hopefully) get rid of pokemon that counter the strategy, and Dragonite has Substitute, Dragon Dance, Fly (incase I run into a shedinja and to also take out the first pokemon) and Outrage (A powerful move that hits for two or three turns) Send out Raikou (if a pokemon that counter the strategy, use roar), use Thunderwave and flash a lot until you hit flash 6 times (or if Raikou faints, send out Cresselia and complete the process), send out Dragonite and use Subsitute and use dragon dance 6 times (if your substitute gets hit and disappears, use subsitute again), use fly and then use outrage Make sure dragonite holds a left over or any items that heals every turn to counter the subsitute's damage when using substitute

[@Link00TMM]

Nice flex on that shiny Gyarados 💪 managed to hatch a shiny one while grinding for the 6IV, a 5IV which is fkn amazing. Thanks for the tips dude

[@nolang1]

The ones that are really top tier over these ones (in terms of getting to rank 10 and getting longer streaks) have more longevity and protection from the numerous status moves and crits you'll face in the form of Substitute/Rest/recovery moves and do not use moves with less than 100% accuracy. Since the opponent is generally not switching out, it's much more consistent to win by pivoting around and/or making sacrifices to get one team member in prime position to boost its stats and sweep than to rely on moves that have a chance of missing or some coverage move that isn't going to OHKO something bulky even when super-effective. Since there's not chip damage like in PvP, it doesn't make much difference if you do 50% with a STAB and 90% with a super-effective move since either way you're 2HKOing and the opponent has a chance to hit back (and that's before getting into all the Sturdy/Focus Sash stuff where even doing 100+ percent is going to be a 2HKO or the Quick Claw/Bright Powder stuff where you're not guaranteed to get the 1st hit). Blaziken is very inconsistent like that where in some battles it can easily demolish the opponent in 3-5 turns, but in others it's getting beaten by things like what I mentioned or even worse, being set-up bait for some dangerous Dragon Dance users such as Dragonite, Gyarados, and Salamence. A few Pokemon with sets I'd consider better than most if not all of what's in this video: Suicune (Calm Mind/Rest/Ice Beam/Scald), Garchomp (Substitute/Swords Dance/Earthquake/Outrage), Scizor (SD/Roost/Bullet Punch/Aerial Ace), Cloyster (Shell Smash/Icicle Spear/Surf/Rock Blast or Liquidation), Blissey (Substitute/Minimize/Soft-Boiled/Seismic Toss), Clefable (Unaware, Sub/Calm Mind/Soft-Boiled/Moonblast), and Gliscor (Sub/Protect/Bulldoze/Double Team or Toxic). Even something like Dragonite on the list gets more use out of Roost and a Lum Berry to safely set up more DDs in more situtations than it does with Extreme Speed that probably fails to OHKO most things unless Dragonite is at like +4 Attack. Beyond that there are pure support Pokemon like Smeargle, Shuckle, and Arbok that can cripple an opposing lead with stat reduction/paralysis to the point that a teammate can safely pull off a sweep.

[@alo_bris]

I beat the Masters with T-tar, Togekiss, Arcanine and Scizor or Medicham as a 4th depending on the rank. I still didn't get 100 regular wins in a row tho, got to 94 and lost, was too distraught to try again for now lmao

[@Watertypemaster]

I’m considering scizor for my run.. do you remember the sef and EV spread?

[@vin_vent]

Yooo great videos man! They help a lot, and i used the team from ur vid abt the normal singles to win 49 times, thanks!

[@Meclord24]

OMG my dude thank you so much for letting me know im glad my videos helped

[@TMadz-dj5gf]

I think I better Blaziken set is one with focus sash and Adamant nature. At 1 HP Reversal does 200 base damage! It OKHO Suicune! Just have to be careful of weather and priority moves. Sword Dance Protect/Detect Fire Punch Reversal

[@Meclord24]

good idea as well

[@zachzervas9525]

I have this too except he’s jolly. Kinda wish I went adamant

[@TMadz-dj5gf]

@@zachzervas9525 yeah with speed boost and detect you can get away with adamant

[@fandenovelas777]

i wouldn't recommend stone edge on gyarados, i'd use ice fang instead it x4 strong vs most dragons or even sub to use bounce still stone edge can serve in some situations, but azumaril isn't that good it can be an annoyance but most times they will just attack u +if they have a water resistance azu is almost useless, even i'd consideer azelf more versatile due to its movepool even feraligatr for that sheer force

[@vladimirpastar5154]

Are we gonna ignore the fact that latios misses two Draco meteors in a row

[@Meclord24]

I dont wish to relive that

[@robpark93]

Very helpful thanks. The issue is the tower cheating. I used a shadow ball on the enemy mon and it missed. It’s a 100% Accurate move 😂 then they used thunderbolt on my milotic first hit paralysed me and I couldn’t move on the first turn immediately then I got paralysed on the second turn to lose the battle wtf 😂

@@mungolockhart3875 the amount of heat waves that burn me and thunder bolts that paralyze me are way above 10%.

how did u get the speed boost torchik..u soent the 200? we need a guide to help us grind those bp

[@hershy1594]

If you wanna get really cheeky either choice scarf or razor claw togekiss with air slash and super luck. Razor claw has a really high chance to flinch but it doesn't outspeed as much and scarf outspeeds pretty much everything in the battle tower but loses a lot of the flinch chance.

Both are very solid but if I had to choose Azelf would be my pick

[@anonanon521]

I can’t make it to master class at all. Any team recommendations? I’ve been trying gengar garchomp azumaril

[@Meclord24]

I actually have a video on getting to master class as well.

[@alexnoghera9925]

I use cloyster or blazikane as sweeper, both max attack and speed, cloyster with shell smash, razor shell, icicle spear and rock blast obv skill link as ability - for blazikane same set of the video except for fire punch instead of other fisical fire moves - focus sash on them. Creselia is the queen of master class - raise her DEF and HP and use calm mind, psychic, ice beam and moonlight. trust me, she is really hard to kill. Third choice is latios or garchomp

I've managed to beat all trainers Rank 1 - 10 defeating all gym leaders, Cynthia and Palmer with the following team 1) Salamence (Lead) - Jolly | 252 Atk | 252 Spe | 4 HP - Intimidate | Focus Sash - Outrage | DragonDance | AerialAce | Earthquake 2) Cresselia - Bold | 252 Def | 240 HP | 16 Spe - Levitate | Leftovers - IceBeam | EnergyBall | Rest | CalmMind 3) Entei - Jolly | 252 Atk | 252 Spe | 4 HP - InnerFocus | WideLens - SacredFire | Crunch | StoneEdge | Extremespeed Team Review 1) Salamence - Intimidate is so useful against so many physical leads, allowing your switch in to take less damage, I did multiple switches between mence and cres to get multiple attack drops on yawn swampert lead until he was -6 and I go ahead to set up with cres - Focus sash allows me to survive lapras leads to immediately get off 2 outrages and allow my entei to clean up with espeed, set up a dragon dance to sweep latios and snorlaxes in the back - Aerial ace has saved my run multiple times against hax mons using dteam minimize subst and is very useful against brelooms heracross and meganium - Earthquake for coverage against electric poison fire rock steel so damn useful 2) Cresselia - Investment in physical bulk is so important because calm mind allows you to boost your special but you have no way of increasing your physical bulk unless you maxed it in EVs, allows you to setup calm minds in front of physical mons and rest off the damage - Levitate is so useful in case entei is at risk of EQ or Earth Power, gives a free switch in - IceBeam puts in work against so many damn dragon flying types, energy ball is a MUST have for gastrodon quagsire rotom-wash lanturn counters - Rest over moonlight because many times you can rest stall opposing mons till they run out of offensive moves, you can safely switch back in mence to setup or entei to clean up if required, heals toxic burns paralyze and if you get yawned, rest just give you back a heal anyway before you go to sleep - That little bit of speed investment is so it outspeeds non invested speed ties with Suicune and other Cresselias 3) Entei - Wide lens is so useful because you dont have to deal with missing sacred fires and stone edges just hit most of the time and only missed very rarely, crunch and extremespeed now have perfect accuracy against opposing brightpowder mons - I would recommend lum berry or life orb if you want to shrug off hypnosis and spores or have extra damage where it matters, these 2 items are more optimal, but wide lens is just a better peace of mind - Sacred fires burns are god tier against opposing phsyical mons, and burning scizor and rotom-mow alive is pure orgasmic experience, deals with ice grass bug steel, having a steel counter is always good, matches up decently against skarmory and metagross - Bringing an entei is so underrated because fire types cant be burned, and inner focus intimidate immunity so there are few ways opponents can hax you with an attack drop or flinch bullshit from rock slides - Crunch is so great agaisnt walls because the defense drops and extremspeed cleans up any opposing focus sash endure mons or if you get paralyzed Few pokemons I have trouble are definitely tyranitars, gengars, cloysters, latios, starmies, effing brelooms and tangrowths, because sleep, paralze, confusion is pure bullshit but at the end of the day, battle tower is 100% luck if they want to mess you up, a zapdos lead with thunder full paralyze can just end your run, i just wanted to share the team that was consistent enough to get me to the top and trust me I've experimented with so much Shoutout to the many mons who died with me on this journey, freeze dry lapras ❤️, scarf knot empoleon, safeguard raichu, calm mind raikou ❤️, drizzle politoed, belly drum azumarill, chestoresto suicune ❤️, espeed intimidate arcanine ❤️, speedboost blaziken, ddance charizard, sash sceptile, work up meganium, scarf torterra ❤️, multilum dragonite, sash garchomp, scarf heatran, shell smash blastoise ❤️, lifeorb feraligtr ❤️, scarf swampert i have also tried brasscoins legendary 100 streak team but i got to say hes really lucky because theres many counters to his team in the tower and he didnt encounter them or just avoided the hax where it mattered, still an incredible achievement what he has accomplished, max my team has achieved is 28 win streak masters rank 10

[@collenrivers9762]

A way better Gengar set is utilizing Focus Sash, Nasty Plot, Shadow Ball, sludge bomb and dazzling gleam then with the same Timid nature. There's not many Pokemon that can outspeed you and you can sweep most teams with just Gengar even with neutral hits at +2

Master rank compared to normal rank is pretty b.s. . Way harder, takes forever and it feels like every enemy mon hold a focus sash/band and/or lax incense/bright powder. Let's not talk about the 1 hit ko moves..
