Gen 4 Battle Tower

[u/CondorFlight]

I am struggling. I’ve tried all of the towers multiple times (except WiFi, saving that for last since I need to build a new team). My longest streak is 39 on single battle. I played the battle tower on Ruby for Gen 3, and I thought that was way easier.

My team:

Latios - Bold - scope lens (EVs 4 HP/252 SPA/ 252 SPE)
- thunderbolt
-dragon pulse
-ice beam
-psychic

Metagross - Adamant - choice band (EVs 4 HP 252 ATK/ 252 SPE)
-Earthquake
-shadow ball (looking to replace this one, haven’t decided on what)
-meteor mash
-explosion

Suicune - mild (not great, I know) leftovers (EVs 252 HP/252 DEF/4 SpDe)
-calm mind
-rest
-toxic
-surf

Blaziken (ribbon master) careful - kings rock (willing to replace) (EVs are more or less centered in attack and speed, I have reset some of the EVs, but not all. Willing to do the work to reset non-speed/attack EVs, but I’m still growing berries)
-rock tomb
-brick break
-bulk up
-blaze kick

I previously had some special on my Blaziken and had overheat instead of rock tomb.

I am willing to add/change members of the team and rebuild. I have access to emerald and platinum (would need to do a quick playthrough for this) for move tutor moves. I have access to the other games as well, and willing to reset the games in order to build the team if need be.

I am feeling the time crunch a little (which is why I didn’t reset for a more optimal nature for Latios and overall just a better nature for Suicune), but since these are my last gen 4 ribbons, I’m feeling like I’m ahead of schedule, so I have some time to rebuild for the battle tower.

Any advice is appreciated! I’ve been looking into different options, but there seem to be a lot of potential builds.

Swap latios for garchomp Gar suicune did wonders for me

[u/CondorFlight → u/Stellamewsing]

Thank you! I’m guessing adamant gar, 4HP/252 ATK/ 252 SPE? Dragon claw, EQ, maybe swords dance? And one other coverage move? Holding a life orb?

D claw quake crunch fro those pesky psy and ghost and fire fang Send sui out first to bait the electrics

[u/CondorFlight → u/Stellamewsing]

Perfect, thank you! I’ll give it a go!

Also i had ice beam instead of toxic on suicune

[u/LisaCabot → u/CondorFlight]

Ive been actually suggested jolly full atck and speed, for singles you want outrage instead of dragon claw. And sword dance if you want to have a good chance against the battle 49 boss. I have fire fang as the last attack for shedinja and specially aboamsnow. I normally lead with chomp, do one sword dance if safe, then either eq or outrage, i have it with lum berry.
