RSE/FRLG Was the Battle Frontier easy to those of you that knew what you were doing?

So when I was like 12 the battle frontier in emerald was my favorite thing that had ever come out in a pokemon game. To me it was so challenging and I managed to get I think 4 silver medals. Note that I had no clue how to EV train or anything at the time. To you competitive players (i'm a TCG player I know next to nothing about VG) was battle frontier easy to those of you that knew what you were doing?
 
RE: Battle Frontier

I was awesome at Pyramid-got gold. Decent enough at everything else except for Tower to get silvers in them. I didn't EV train or anything either, though.
 
RE: Battle Frontier

My best was battle dome, I always ran Blaziken, Latios and uhhh either an aggron or a swampert or something. Blaziken was my favorite though in emerald. That Fight/Fire combo was ruthless
 
RE: Battle Frontier

I'm still trying to defeat the battle frontier in emerald :\. I have a full set of Silver symbols and a Gold at the Dome. The first one I got was a silver for the Pikes, the luck one. It was just easy because you only had to beat it twice lol. I won with a scrubby team of Sceptile, Manectric, and Alakazam (which had Return. <_<)

I know how to EV train but I never do it just because in Emerald it takes way too long. I don't have PokeRus, and the only EV-improving items are vitamins and the Macho Brace, so I normally just jack my pokemon up on vitamins before going into battle.
 
RE: Battle Frontier

I know a guy who has 6 Gold Symbols and 1 Silver one. I think the Silver one is the Pyramid one.

I myself only have 2 (or was it 3?) Silver symbols.

Emerald Battle Frontier is one of the hardest things to ever appear in a Pokemon game, if not the hardest. The level-1 dungeons in PMD1 and PMD2 were also likewise hard, but they're possible to exploit with Wonder Mail Generators if you know the formula. (I never cracked the code in PMD2, but PMD1's was easy to crack.)
 
RE: Battle Frontier

I got all the silver medals and gold in 5 of the 7 seven facilities. The hardest one was definitely the one where you can't pick what attack your Pokemon should do. I never did get the gold symbol for that. The Battle Tower I couldn't get the gold because I always got haxxed.
 
RE: Battle Frontier

I got gold in all the frontiers... I felt like a champ....


Of course, it was aided by emulator! ;) gotta love crowbat (legit shiny), swampert, and I forget the others. Totally had this in the bag lol
 
RE: Battle Frontier

I almost beat the Battle thing in the Seviper (Emerald), but somehow got sweeped by Milotic everytime. Shuckle and Seviper were so easy to kill, but that Milotic was never nice.

Yeah, I've gotten to Lucy, and that's it.
 
RE: Battle Frontier

Toxic works wonders, although having a Latios with Thunderbolt helps also.
 
RE: Battle Frontier

I never really got far in the Battle Frontier, mainly because there was nothing to indicate that you needed to do multiple runs of the facilities. I might go back and try it in Emerald, we'll see.
 
RE: Battle Frontier

The Pike was definitely the easiest, I got both Silver and Gold there. I tried the Pyramid, and I got to the Frontier Brain, but my Pokemon were too weak from status to win :/
 
RE: Battle Frontier

What is haxxed? And i think its awesome pokemon made it so hard. But did anyone use EV trained pokes?

Hax is when the small chances of a side effect of a move happens, like a burn from Fire Blast, a flinch from Iron Head, etc. It's really annoying and it happens a lot in the Battle Frontier.

You have to if you want any chance of winning. My Latios I had used did so well for me. It was Hasty nature and had 31 IV in almost every stat except speed which it had a 27.
