Have you tried Jolteon?

Hindsight is truly 20/20. But, I'm almost done anyway; another run through the pyramid and I'm fighting Brandon for the Sliver Symbol.

The result would probably end up the same way against those Quick Claw Earthquake users anyway. After all, there is no way that Forretress, Aggron, etc. are faster than Manectric or Jolteon. Lol at the Earthquake/Ice Beam Slowkings too.

Seriously, that's always how they KO you. Quick Claw. You EV train your speed like a bitch and you're shot down by a Snorlax with Earthquake who just happens to get the first move at just the right moment. The AI is arguably more frustrating than playing at pro. At least in a pro match, the algorithm isn't desperate to fucking destroy you.

And that is exactly the reason as to why the Battle Palace is the most bull; you have no control (screw the inner mechanics, it's just RNG), your Pokémon can just not move at all, and on top of all that shit AI gets the lucky roll to pop a QC after 6 Curses and a Double Team.

Fuck me, and I almost forgot about the Brightpower. That shit will cause you to believe that you're a schizo.

But alas, it's over. Beat Brandon for the Gold Symbol, and got the two berries from Scott. Let me show, however, the bs that is Battle Pyramid.

My Salamence isn't even trapped via being wrapped, I just can't escape from a Pokémon with 5 base speed. My Ninjask couldn't even flee from some Forretress while I was on the level that contained Pokémon with self-destructing moves.

Ah, yes, Brightpowder! When your 100 accuracy Flamethrower fucking MISSES on the very first dipshit you have to body. That one Pokémon that has it, you'll be lucky enough to be phased instead of a KO.

Or, worse, Focus Band. You think the bastard is going down like a bitch, then all of a sudden, you get a face full of Counter or Mirror Coat, or even a Reversal. One Heracross nailed my whole team that way once. First, Megahorn my Latios, then my Swampert, and when my Metagross hit it, boom, I click on my save state. If it's the very last Pokémon you have, that's where you'll start to believe the game loves to troll you.

The Battle Palace IS frustrating, but, you have to understand that it's indeed important for your mon to have the right nature. Adamant Pokémon have a higher chance of using physical moves. Modest for special.

As for the Battle Pyramid, being trapped is part of the mechanics, unfortunately, which is why it's best to have a Dodrio that knows Runaway.

Also, a Linoone with Pickup. Finally, the third slot should be the main force of your team. Like your Salamence.

This is mine:

I think I might have mentioned it earlier in this thread but there was one battle facility (forgot which one and the game) where my entire team got btfo’ed by a Crawdaunt with a quick claw and guillotine that just happened to always activate and hit accurately. Probably one of the biggest bullshit moments I ever encountered in a video game.

General Pokemon question, but has it always been a thing where you have to go to an NPC's house to nickname your pokemon? Haven't played the most recent generation so I'm not sure if it was ever changed

Battle Frontier Gen 3

The 252's are on HP and Special Defense

Not sure why Guillotine would always hit you, as that move was no longer based on speed by the time Gen 2 came around.

Quick claw has a chance of letting the Pokemon holding it move before you regardless of speed, giving it a chance to use a ohko move on you before you can even touch it.
