Dusk Wrote:You only get 3 Pokemon for Castle and Tower and only one for Hall. First, I'd replace useless moves like Dream Eater, Charge, Petal Dance, and Fly. Not sure with what at the moment; just look through their movepools for options. You don't need Waterfall and Aqua Tail on Feraligatr, they do pretty much the same thing. Battle Frontier is all about minimizing the amount of luck you have to deal with, because eventually it's going to run out, so I'd replace Aqua Tail. You don't need Discharge and Thunder Wave on the same Pokemon; the wohle point of Discharge is Paralysis, otherwise you'd use Thunderbolt. You don't get much room for setup unless you force it (Trick a Choice item onto an opponent), so keep that in mind when using moves like Nasty Plot or Sunny Day.

Usually, it's good to have two attackers and one support Pokemon to either switch into hits and stall or help an attacker set up. Type coverage isn't hugely important since it's hard to do that with 3 Pokemon, but make sure you account for threats like Shedinja.

Current team is 36 Typhlosion, 30 Probat, and 30 Miltank. Thinking about adding Pinsir to the team, but at the same time I need a powerful water type and special attacker. :/ Was thinking Kingdra. Opinions?

I'd love to go for a 5-Poke team, but that requires putting HMs on my main guys. :| I have Fly on Probat, but nothing else. If I went Kingdra, I'd get surf. Still leaves...
Cut, Whirlpool, Rocksmash, Waterfall, and Rock climb. Not a big fan of any of them, except Waterfall, but Miltank and Probat don't learn it. I really like my para-hax on Miltank's STAB'd Body Slam. If I ignore whirlpool since you use it like 4 times in the entire game, and cut since it sucks... Rockclimb, Waterfall, Rocksmash, and Strength? Anyone know an easy-to-access pokemon that learns all four of those? (Smeargle doesn't count, he's annoying to teach moves)

holyforest Wrote:Hi guys, I've been thinking of what moves to replace on my team for the Battle Frontier so they're more evened out, but I'm stuck on some options. Any tips on which of these moves to choose would be great, 'cause they all sound equally good to me (yeah I know, it's sort of sad).

Feraligatr: Replacing Aqua Tail with possibly: Earthquake? Dragon Pulse? Shadow Claw?
Noctowl: Replacing Dream Eater and Fly(maybe) with possibly: Shadow Ball? Heat Wave? Sky Attack?
Ampharos: Replacing Charge and Thunder Wave with possibly: Fire Punch? Signal Beam? Power Gem? Brick Break? Outrage?
Sunflora: Replacing Petal Dance with possibly: Toxic? Sludge Bomb?

Yotsuba Wrote:Give us the other moves of your Pokemon to see what coverage you need. Shadow Ball and Heat Wave are both nice replacements for Fly and Dream Eater though.
