What to Expect: The thing about Wi-Fi is that a lot of the people online tend to rely on OU pokemon, along with the few ubers that are allowed. As such, expect to see a lot of Gengar, Garchomp, and Tyranitar. (If you manage to run into someone who has a UU/NU team, then you should be able to handle it on your own)
Who to Use: People online
usually dont use things like stealth rock or spikes right off, but its
still best to start out with someone who has taunt to take care of those annoying
Trick Room teams. (You can usually tell when its a TR team, as they typically
start off with Bronzong.) Also, its nice to have someone with a good Fire-based
attack out first to handle Scizor before it gets a chance to Swords Dance and
Bullet punch you. Also get a grass move if possible to handle those water types
that youll be seeing often.
A good choice for your second party member is someone with an Ice, Fighting,
or Dark/Ghost move. The Ice move will handle those SUPER ANNOYING OU Dragon
types, while the Fighting move (Usually Superpower or Close Combat) can take
on any Dark, Rock, Normal, ETC. pokemon. Finally, that Dark/Ghost move is essential
for guys like Gengar or Dusknoir. (Who are in just about EVERY room youll
choose.)
Finally, for your last pokemon, youll definitely need a good Flying move
and/or pokemon. The move will take care of Fighting types like Machamp and Grass
types like Leafeon or Sceptile. If the pokemon is a Flying type (or someone
with Levitate) you can use it to switch in on Earthquake, which is a common
move in the Tower. If you have a Normal type on your team, you could fill the
last slot with a Ghost type so as to switch it into Fighting moves aimed at
your Normal type. If thats the case, give it a Psychic move so you can
take on the Fighting type as well.
Well, thats the guide for the first rank of the Battle Tower. Thank you
for reading this, and please continue to help the Dream League!
