What are the natures of your Pokémon? Do you have an adament tyranitar? Also how did you breed for dragon dance?

With the link one machine recently announced, we need a continuous spell that is good enough to justify searching it over repair plant or emergency.

I actually pulled out my DS lite while listening to this video; I am three cartridges away from a complete collection. Question, Mr Nighthawk. What kind of stand are you using for when you were playing your DS?

Amazing job! This is like every teenager/kid dream that played that during the 2000s. By the way, you kept mentioning there’s a way to give yourself tickets for those Pokémon events (to get Lugia, mew, etc). Do you know any video where there’s a explanation on that?

Where did you get that case incthe beginning of the video?

This channel has become one of my favorites lately. Great content bro! About your main team: I don't remember you mentioning this, but wouldn't it be better to replace Tyranitar's Ice Beam with fire coverage? Flamethrower or Fire Blast could deal with Skarmory and Scizor without them being able to use Counter. Flying-type would still get super effective from Rock Slide, and Dragon-type could be a problem, but maybe Dusclops could handle it.

Nice that were all older now we can start playing Pokémon seriously So many more things you become aware of

I wish there was Pokemon school so we can get a degree in Pokemon.

I really like your style of videos, they are really well made and relaxing to watch. But as someone who played Gen 3 competitively at some point and got all the Gold symbols in Emeralds Battle Frontier, I have to be honest with you and tell you, that your team won't make the Gold symbol in the Battle Tower. Tyranitar is the only really good Mon on your team, Steelix only works on certain teams that cover all of it's weaknesses and Dusclops is just not good. If you check Smogons Battle Frontier thread, there is a reason why Dusclops is not found on a single team and Steelix only just on a few selected ones that cancel out its weaknesses and even Tyranitar is not as good in the Battle Tower as it is in the regular ADV meta, but with the right team composition it is still really good. If you are unable to set up at least 1-2 DDs, you will even struggle in rounds 42-56 whenever you face a bulky water type like Swampert or Milotic. And in the later rounds, where your opponents use a lot of legendaries and pseudo-legendaries you won't really stand a chance. Your team has no solid answer to for example a Metagross 4, 5 and 7, almost all the Suicune or Regice sets. Even Mons like Snorlax 5, 6 or 7 might give your team a hard time. And I am not even starting talking about hax moves combined with Quick Claw. As you have no flying types, you are hit by every single one of those attacks. Your entire team basically relies on TTar setting up 1-2 DDs which is really risky. Especially on Smogon, there are plenty of guides regarding the Battle Frontier/Battle Tower. I recommend checking those out as you find a lot of useful information there. Edit: Just to clarify, I don't want to sound too negative here and I like that you want to use your favorite Mons in the BF. I also used a lot of different Mons and teams in the Battle Frontier with none of them being the most standard ones. But you have to be real that your team will start to struggle even in earlier rounds. I just watched your Whiscash video and you said it yourself, you sometimes struggled in rounds 25-35 which is really early and a bad sign. The teams that you lost to weren't even that great, they just showed how fragile Mons like Steelix and Dusclops are and how bad their synergy is (also with Tyranitar).

First of all, I'd like to say I love your Pokemon Emerald videos. Your vibe matches with what the game means to me and that's awesome. I'm in the same journey that you are. Just finished med school and one of the first things I did was take mi GBA and play one hundred hours of Pkmn emerald. Just leveling up a team of Aipom and "Pick up" pokemon just to find 7 (yes, seven) Earthquake TMs!!! and over 100 rare candy hahah, all while I was thinking a strategy for the battle frontier. Soon I'll star breeding. This journey has taken almost 20 years and it will probably take 10 - 20 more. And that's just fine. It is my happy place. Greetings from Chile.

I've been working on the battle frontier, so far got gold dome and silver pike. Working on a team for palace. So I appreciate your Iv/Ev guide, it has taught me a lot. Coincidentally I have picked up a copy of heartgold recently and I’ve only ever played crystal gen 2. I’m looking forward to starting the game with you and seeing your updates. 😎

Very thoughtful video, and interesting team iteration. I currently have all silver medals, but struggling to get my first gold. I'm surprised your team is working for you due to just the sheer frequency of water types in this game. My main team (and the team that got me my silver medals) is Latios, Milotic, and Miltank. The Miltank surprises people, but the setup of Body Slam+Curse+MilkDrink+HealBell on a fast, tanky mon continuously comes in clutch. I may try out some of the pointers you mentioned in this video because what I'm doing isn't working anymore for the gold runs - so great video + hope you get there yourself. : )

In case anyone cares, the IVs for an egg are actually set when you receive the egg from the day care man. This means that the ability, shinyness, gender, and most importantly nature are locked in when the egg is "found" by the daycare couple. With that in mind, and especially if you're breeding something that doesn't take ages to hatch like a Magikarp, you can save before receiving the egg and hatch it checking for the nature (and etc.), and if you're pleased with the result you can soft reset the game a few times and see if you get a stat spread you like as well. I did this and was successful with my Ludicolo which ended up with outstanding stats and a 31 in special defense and a calm nature.

You can't earn more than 252 EVs in one particular stat. It caps at 252. Meaning you can't get 255 or whatever. This also means you'll have 6 EVs left, of which 2 EVs are useless. Once you're done with spec attack and speed, just defeat 4 of whatever pokémon gives you EVs in a stat you want to give a tiny boost

I got a gold medal in doubles with straight randos and an improperly ev trained Shedinja. Knew baton pass, double team, protect, and fury cutter I think, had max speed IVs and Almost max evs, And a decently high hp. Would max out its stats and then swap to an untouchable poke and wipe. Also had a Ludicolo with rain dish, leftovers, leech seed, Giga drain, rain dance and surf. Would get my rain dance and seed off then hit a Giga drain and be almost back to full health then surf while getting back health from the leftovers and rain dish only using Giga if necessary. Worked pretty much till the game practically cheats and makes you miss every attack or gives the opponent 110% acc.

i dont think Sandslash gets the ability where he gets speed in sand until PKMN Black and White

great work!

any new shinies?

Crazy how much love we really have for pokemon. Something so special about it that we've been inspired by since childhood.

That notebook is always awesome to see. As much as I find our modern digital convenient, there's nothing like physically writing notes down. Been doing that a lot recently myself for some of the games I'm playing, especially for achievement hunting in some of my favourite games. Always satisfying to actually tick something off a list rather than clicking a check box on my phone or PC, haha 👌

All of this stuff is second nature to me now but I really wish Pokemon stopped dragging mechanics and systems dreamed up for the gameboy in 1996 as a way for 'every charizard to be different' and just refreshed everything from the ground up. Sure its easy to fully EV/IV/Nature/Hidden Ability/Shiny Hunt now but its all so clunky and poorly explained

me on the floor of my treehouse in June 2005 with 5 of my neighbours thinking we're theorycrafting the best teams ever created with our strategy guides only to get completely bodied Dying until we google then go with the standard Swampert, Salamence, Metagross, and Latios(latias?) Battle factory was really fun though, wish we had end game/post game endless content in every game besides shiny hunting now

I said it in the last video, I'll say it again. If you're gonna keep Steelix you should give it Explosion. The Special Defense boost through Sandstorm would be nice, but if you're leading with Steelix then that's moot, unless you're going to raw tag Steelix out to pull Tyranitar in but then that puts your win condition in danger for no reason. The fact that Steelix's "weaknesses" list is so broad and vague should set off a lot of alarms - "anything with fire or water coverage is problematic" is a crazy hill to stand your ground on considering they are some of the most common types you'll face no matter what facility you're in. Also somewhat related, It feels like you have PTSD from that Whiscash that hit you with so many Fissures a few weeks ago, but if you zoom out and look at it, nearly every Pokemon in the frontier with a 1-hit-KO move also has the coverage to deal with Steelix outright. Whiscash = Fissure OR Surf, Walrein = Sheer Cold OR Surf, Lapras = Horn Drill OR Surf, Nidoking = Horn Drill OR Fire Blast/Flamethrower/Ice Beam etc etc. Maybe not enough firepower to 1-shot, but still coverage nonetheless.

Your steelix is too passive ! With tyranitar, you should put another pokemon who benefit more about the sand (sandslah, cacturne) or a special hitter

It's really nice that you've walked us through your decision making process. Also, totally respect you sticking to the Pokémon that you like using and not going for meta picks. Might do that myself in the future too. Overall, great video!

You make great videos, but that team wont make it past round 70. a Regice is going to destroy you, being almost unkillable by your team before you can kill it, There being 6 regice sets your team is in trouble forsure, Not to mention your entire team gets hit by earthquake with 2 of the mons being super weak to it. The MOST optimal team for the battle frontier has already been found, reaching round 3010 in the battle tower, completing every gold symbol in 19 hours. Even with the best team you need to have the smogon lists of all possible sets in every tower to truly avoid being "hax'd"

I've always wanted to get into training competitive pokemon, but could never understand tutorials. Your videos have been great and now I'm excited to build my own team for the battle tower :)

Never missed a video 🫡

Hey! Have you considered substitute on your DD tyranitar? I think if you PP stall their first Pokémon with your two walls, then switch in TTar and set up dances and a sub, you should be able to sweep! Love the content ❤

Your videos are like Pokemon asmr.. I love coming here and hearing about your teams and shiny hunts

Very nice video. I kinda skipped to the team strategy because Ive been following you for a while with this team. its really nice to see your thought process and gave me a lot of ideas for my team and what I want out of it.

The Maxpedition pocket organizer is the key to it all.

Perfect way to start the day, I enjoying seeing your thought process!

not a single analogue in sight, tears in my eyes 🎉

Love the videos! I started my own journey throughout all my gen 4 games as well. I'm looking forward to the content to come!

Having to start over again and again is why I joined Pokemmo.

Obviously it doesn’t matter if playing with friends, but just so you know, raigeki is limited to 1 copy

where do you get these books that shows details of every pokemon?

I always justify paying Ash in my cyber dragon deck by calling her "the ghost in the machine" lol

big fan of gen4 i just finished Platinum for the first time yesterday. distorsion world is the best experience i ever had in a pokemon game. I'm like you, taking note as I'm playing, tracking what i have to do :), really happy to discover your work

What backpack was that at the beginning? That seems ideal for light travel!

So you keep all your good pokemon (shinies, pokedex, etc) on fire red rather than emerald?

Which stand is that you're using for your DS?

You need to look up Adededes battle tower run. The amount of info that he gives without even trying is mindblowing

I only played gen3 never anything after until last year a friend lent me his old switch and brilliant diamond to play(it sucked for me I like gen3 a lot more) so I’ve been playing a super in depth gen3 romhack called Altered Emerald. It’s kind of nuts how much they were able to add to emerald while keeping the gen 3 feel and watching these videos is making me want to take training slower and be more involved. On emerald I always abused the frontier dupe so I spent ALL my time doing rng or playing the tower never actually training much other than 1-200 Evs after spamming ev items

...?

I've been grinding through the first part of my Heart Gold Prof. Oak's challenge with the goal of making this Heart Gold cart my completionist cartridge It's so cool to see someone tackling it with similar vibes in mind!

Thats a sick bag. Where did get it ?

It's been a while since I last checked on your channel, glad that you're still making content. The Analogue Pocket is definitely an expensive kit. I agree that at that price point, if you're only looking to play GB, GBC, and GBA games it's better and cheaper to just mod a GBA. You also have the added bonus of actually playing on the real hardware, not hardware emulation (if you're particular about that kind of thing). That said, the Analogue Pocket also has its use. The first thing that came to my mind is for capturing game footage. I believe you can get a dock for that device that has a video out, which makes it really easy to capture game footage straight from a cart. Though of course, you can always run an emulator on a PC for that, but personally there's just something satisfying with using a legit cart. There's probably other uses for it too. I think you can also use it for music production, but eh. Maybe someone else can elucidate us on that. 😂
