    It took me a long time to get the gold medal. And in the end I didn't win the achievement

    I was wrong, the Battle Pyramid was so so much worse than the Battle Factory! Sooo damn long and tedious. I hope to never again see another Wynaut and Wobbuffet ever again!

    Lengthy and kind of exhausting, but nothing super duper difficult. Save your Max Revives for Brandon, and if you can, trade a Chansey over from FRLG and abuse Softboiled out of battle to keep your team healed up. (Remember to get the Catch 'em All achievement first!)

    I need to talk about how difficult this was, I was on my nine consecutive victories and there was only 1 room left for me to get the golden symbol, I ended up losing and had to start over, when I got to the seventh room I found a shiny electabuzz which is not possible to capture.

    A previous user left a comment about these achievements to try to offer help, suggesting using the speedrunner Werster's strategies to get through the Frontier. I am just here to offer those notes again, since all of that previous user's comments have been deleted.

    Good luck, everyone!

    Hands down the worst facility. I hope you like running around blind for hours with cheap strats to take out your pokemon. So glad it's over.

    Not ashamed to say that Smogon helped me through this one:

    You have to keep in mind some stuff besides typing:
    Sometimes outspeeding is not enough to flee, so keep in mind if you barely do that, you won't escape, many times you rather faint them instead.
    If you find too hard to clear the maze, you better fight wild Pokémon for more sight, rather than trainers whose would be harder and totally random, so you better choose your loadout according to wild.
    You might have a balanced team, a perfectly EV trained Equake user, but if you missing Houndoom, you better build one specially to deal with Gengar, Weezing, Claydol, Jynx, Metang, Exeggutor, Skarmory and Vileplume. For those who kept playing after 3rd gen, remember that Crunch WAS SPECIAL, just like Dragon Claw.

    Worst facility in the Battle Frontier by a mile and caused me some HUGE headaches and frustration. As Asuha said read up on the Smogon link, and Houndoom probably is really good for the Pyramid, but I was lazy and didn't want to breed one. I switched the Choice Band around between Metagross and Slaking depending on which one I was using the most on that floor. These are the Pokemon I used to clear the 10 floors (Pyramid head is a joke)

    1. Slaking @ Shell Bell / Leftovers - 252 Att 252 Spe 6 HP - Adamant
    Double-Edge / Earthquake / Shadow Ball / Brick Break

    2. Latios @ Shell Bell / Leftovers - 252 SpA 252 Spe 6 HP - Timid / Modest if you can get, mine's Lonely
    Psychic / Thunderbolt / Ice Beam / Surf

    3. Metagross @ Choice Band - 252 Att 252 Spe 6 HP - Adamant
    Meteor Mash / Earthquake / Shadow Ball / Rock Slide

    4. Linoone - Random EV's + Nature
    (Linoone was just for the 2nd floor, used Pickup to get a Choice Band early on for Metagross / Slaking)
