Ugh... Fuck this achievement. I finally managed to get it thanks to the advice from u/DOLPHINTYPE4 and u/starlite.
Even then it still took me around 30 attempts...

I suppose I should also give a HUGE +1 to Dolphin’s team.

Smeargle and Wobuffet are super easy to prepare (use flash for that Dragon Rage! 😉), while Blissey with Toxic is still a lot easier than tutoring one for special attacking.

For me, Smeargle was the MVP while Blissey underperformed a little (though still provided a few good saves). I don’t think I fully maxed Smeargle’s speed with Carbos, though I probably should have given him a few extra for better luck with the RNG.

If you do get good RNG, Smeargle will sweep quite a few of your opponents. Wobuffet is VERY strong as long as you can predict whether a physical or special attack is incoming. Blissey can help stall out a stubborn opponent, but only if they’re not a strong physical attacker (Kangaskhan, Aerodactyl, and Miltank are indeed menaces).

I had put off this achievement for a while due to not wanting to raise a special team for it, but this team is well worth the effort! (Especially with how little effort it was! 😁)

Is clearing the battle town just the 7 wins in a row?

TROTMAC96 3 Apr 2024 11:01

Yeah.

Definitely grind the elite 4 and buy vitamins to max all your pokemon's stats if you are using DOLPHINTYPE4's team. It took me from getting knocked out at mostly round 3 to almost making it each time before I got it. I'm talking surviving a lot of fights with literally 1 HP so it was worth the grind.

I recommend lvl30 tower, Miltank lead (Headbutt, Shadow Ball, Earthquake, Milk Drink + King's Rock), Espeon (Psychic, Bite, Quick Attack and slot 4 any move you want, I didn't use any + Blackglasses) and Blissey (Thunderbolt, Toxic, Protect, Softboiled + Leftovers.) Gave everyone 10 x Carbos, Calcium, HP Up and Iron + 10 x Protein to Miltank and Espeon. Level them up at Ruins of Alph until lvl 30 to max out stat xp. I also hatched them from eggs so they started from lvl 5. Miltank is a powerful allrounder who can take hits and hit back solid physical damage, she also counters a lot of tower 30's Pokemon. Espeon is a fast and hard special hitter who can also take special damage. Blissey was a lifesaver with Toxic/Protect/Softboiled-combo, and did decent damage with Tbolt too. Good luck!

Just beat this using smeargle with dragon rage, skarmory with toxic as a stall tactic against those hyper beam spamming normal types and a wobbuffet. Honestly this achievement annoyed me, I mean beating all 7 rounds isn’t that bad but I hate the forced johto mon requirement u are just far to restricted in what u can use. Plus f porygon 2 that guy was a major run killer.

Did this with Umbreon (the toxic setup), Miltank and Heracross. Had to retry quite a lot and Machamp was almost always an insta-lose. Zapdos (with rest) was also extremely hard.

Is there a way of getting quick claw / focus sash if you have tossed/sold them? and toxic tm as i used it on my main game skarmory

kevinwakkle 22 Sep 2024 14:12

First achievement that I had to take a break from for a while. Man this was such an RNG and also with a not the best team. I succeeded and I am happy

My team was: Smeargle (Dragon rage and focus band), Miltank with strenght and rollout) and Skarmory (Steel wing, Fly and Toxic). The only pain for real is Jolteon. The others are durable

Do not be intimidated by this achievement. It's very easy and requires a bit of luck. I ran the team everyone else was posting but had to switch up Blissey's moveset due to me using TMs on story mode mons. I'll give the run down.

Team: Smeargle - Quick Claw - Dragon Rage: Go to Lake of Rage and lead with a mon that knows the move Flash. Save the game so you don't have to keep going back to the Pokemon Center. Use the Super Rod until you find a Gyardos. Use Flash until Gyarados's accuarcy can't go any lower. Switch into your Smeargle and use Sketch. If it dies or Sketches anything that's not Dragon Rage, soft reset and try again. This only took about five minutes. Also will note that you must breed all of the following Pokemon to be under Level 10. As levels in the Battle Tower do not scale down. I maxed out SPD and DEF with EV items. Attack not needed as Dragon Rage always does 40 damage.

Blissey - Leftovers - Return, Psychic, Protect, Softboiled. This moveset is horrible and I don't recommend copying. However, I had great success with Protect to gain a bit of health back every second turn. If possible replace Psychic with Toxic and choose between Protect and Double Team. I maxed out HP and DEF with EV items.

Wobbuffet - Gold Berry - Counter, Mirror Coat, Safeguard, Destiny Bond. This is it's only possible moveset upon hatching. Whatever Pokemon you're up against, predict if it uses Special Moves or Physical Moves. Counter for Physical, Mirror Coat for Special. The Gold Berry will give a massive heal for damage you take. They are the MVP. I maxed out DEF and HP with EV items. You don't want to attack first so don't give Speed.

For EV items, grind the E4 about 10-15 times with Amulet Coin and you're good to go. This only takes about 60-75 minutes to setup everything.

Strategy wise, you just need common sense switches and a little bit of luck. If Smeargle is 1HP but doesn't outspeed, switch and save them for a later Pokemon to one shot. Hope this helped

kanto stare + johto strength + sinnoh rage

This was much easier than I thought. I used Smeargle level 10 with Dragon Rage and Quick Claw, Skarmory with Toxic, Protect, Double Team, Rest and Leftovers, and Wobbuffet with Gold Berry.

Used my remaining money to use max carbos on Smeargle, otherwise just used the vitamins I had, didn’t bother maxing anyone out. Took me about 5 tries. Led with Smeargle to take out what I could, then went to Wobbuffet to Destiny Bond + Counter/Mirror Coat, then Skarmory would clean up if needed.

Beat this at lvl70. It was a month long grind to train, get money and figure out best (or decent team).

Raikou (Focus Band): Reflect, Thunder, Protect, Crunch
Feraligatr (Gold Berry): Hyper Beam, Dynamic Punch, Blizzard, Surf
Skarmory (Leftovers): Attract, Steel Wing, Drill Peck, Sand Attack

Chazly 8 Dec 2024 13:55

Not too bad.

Beat with
Raikou: (Focus Band) reflect, crunch, toxic, thunderbolt
Skarmory (lefties) fly, toxic, double team, rest
Ttar (gold berry) Rock Slide, EQ, Crunch, Protect

But it did take a few attempts

typhlosion 20 Dec 2024 23:55

did this with lv10 skarmory (protect, double team, toxic, rest + leftovers) and lv10 smeargle (dragon rage + focus band). i also had a lv10 heracross but he was mostly moral support and barely used him

some of my tips:

- definitely luck based if youre going for lv10 tier. you will need patience and a few tries
- focus band on smeargle never worked once for me, id say quick claw is a better choice but at the end of the day it depends if the RNG loves you or not
- be careful if youre stalling double team and the opponent sends a pkmn with psych up (mr. mime definitely costed my runs the most because of this)
- the only reason i had heracross is because i got lazy to prep up another pkmn, you may have better luck than me if you replace it with any of the other choices given in the comments above (like wobbuffet or blissey)

took me around 5-10 tries

Just follow Dolphin and sherwood strat, easily done only needed like 3 runs to learn how to use blissey.
