I will be updating this as I have more knowledge of other strategies to help in Wi-Fi battles,etc. This walkthrough also contains mves and how to get them, move tutors and Single Pokemon exclusive moves. /===============================================\ | (a2).Strategies | \===============================================/ |__(a2I).'Tornado' Strategy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Pokemon that can be used for this Strategy: Skarmory Skarmory@Leftovers/Focus band Ability: Keen Eye Nature preferably naive:+speed,-sp.def or jolly:+speed,-sp.atk. Moves Stealth Rock Spikes Whirlwind/Roar Roost Explanation: The reason skarmory should have a naive or jolly nature is because they both increase speed while decreasing the useless stats, and speed is vital in this particular strategy. To start off, use Stealth Rock first and then Spikes. If you get low on Hp then use Roost. After Spikes and Stealth rock keep on using whirlwind or roar. But don't forget to use roost of the opponent goes first and deals a lot of damage. ================================================= |__(a2II).'LightSpeed' Strategy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Pokemon that can be used for this strategy: Empoleon, Floatzel Floatzel,Empoleon@Mystic Water/Sea Incense Nature Adamant:+atk,-sp.atk Moves Ability: Empoleon = torrent, Floatzel = Swift Swim Aqua Jet Swords Dance&empoleon, Bulk Up&floatzel Rain Dance Substitute/Swagger Explanation: First of all Empoleon would be best to use for this strategy because of its ability torrent and floatzel can't learn swords dance and empoleon can. Start of using substitiute or swagger depending on which you chose. Then use Rain Dance and then swords dance. combined with mystic water, STAb bonus, rain dance, Swords dance and torrent aqua jets power is basically the same as a blisseys HP! In other words use aqua jet next! trust me, I got a 97 win streak at the battle tower with this one. ================================================== |__(a2III).'Relay' Strategy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Pokemon that can be used for this strategy: Ninjask. Ninjask@Sharp Beak Ability: Speed Boost Nature: Hardy, Serious, Bashful, Docile, Quirky - No advantages or disadvantages. Moves: Swords Dance Baton Pass Double Team Aerial Ace Explanation: The only reason I have chosen the Sharp Beak is for Aerial Ace, because it gets STAB and Sharp Beak gives it yet more power. Use Swords Dance and Double Team. If the Pokemon Ninjask is against is weak to Flying don't use Double Team yet use Aerial Ace instead. Once that Pokemon is down use Double Team then Baton Pass. Fortunately, Baton Pass also passes on Stat changes, the whole point of this strategy. ================================================== |__(a2IV).'Invisible' Strategy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Pokemon that can be used for this strategy: Froslass. Froslass@BrightPowder Ability: Snow Cloak Nature: Quiet Moves: Hail Confuse Ray Double Team Avalanche Explanation: This is probably the most annoying Strategy on the list. If it weren't for Froslass's Snow Cloak Ability this wouldn't have been possible. Snow Cloak raises Evasiveness in a hailstorm. BrightPowder raises Evasiveness. So... use Hail first. Then use Confuse Ray. You will be quite hard to hit and the opponent is confused meaning that the chances of Froslass being hit is very very low. And then there's Double Team to come yet. So use Double Team and KO the opponents team by using Avalanche consecutively. /====================================================\ | (a3).Move Tutors & Natures | \====================================================/ |__(a3I).Move Tutors ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There are 3 new Move Tutors in Platinum, each whom teach different moves to your Pokemon.
