Very spot-on posts. You clearly have a much wider understanding on the matter. Bhimoso's in particular was a great read, and I cannot find a part of it that I don't agree with. I thought my suggestion would help solving the concept, but as you said - and I agree - the issue runs way deeper than I initially thought. That's another sad matter. They all make for entertaining content, but don't reward the player as much, making the Bosses the prime "grind machine". Honestly I have no idea on how to solve it, so I can't criticize it in the slightest. I can't disagree, sadly. my initial suggestion would probably just ruin the game and the relations with the Staff (were it implemented), because all it would do is render the 6 pokemon they've farmed, useless. This I don't really agree with, but maybe for my lack of info. I haven't heard anyone who doesn't use an unconventional sweeper, instead of the usual Pangoro or Haxorus. Lastly, I have to say - and I'm a bit ashamed of it now - that I don't use any "cheese strategy", and I probably wrote this whole post out of spite. But to my defense, I've really enjoyed making the strategies such as the ones in the photos I've attached. I've really like the trial-and-error part, trying to make them as reliable as possible. I think it would be really fun to do, as I've enjoyed it dearly, but I understand it's not small task. I have 1400+ hours, about 70+ level 100 pokemons that are usable, which about 1/3 I use to do the bosses my own way. In a perfect world, I think this would be a very entertaining matter. Creating strategies to beat very strong opponents - through trial and error - to get rewarded. As I’ve said, but I’ll repeat myself… I found this extremely entertaining, and maybe by posting it, someone else might try and do this on their own. I do this. I feel like through this post, I just wanted people to feel bad about "cheesing the bosses", while it seems the only viable option to the Boss issue in general. You can't ask people to have as many hours or pokemons just to keep up with the economy, and there are no clear other ways to gain as much money with less resources. Apologizing once more, have a good day y'all. Cheers! P.S. some of the words in the photos are in Italian - Giorgio883

I agree, I have some strategies myself, but they're not an "instawin" like Baton Pass teams are, and mine vary for each different boss.

Hello there, I'd like to talk about the topic of using Baton Pass to clear late-game bosses in PRO. Bosses are - and have been for a long time - a great way to earn money in the game. By winning a battle against them (every 12d) in Hard Mode, you're guaranteed to get 20-30k (more against certain bosses) plus many relevant items/pokemons. They're a major part of the game's economy, which is supposed to be a good thing. They're meant to be rewarding to late-game players that manage to defeat them (they have 400 EVs on all stats on hard mode!). Nevertheless, since they were added, players always found a way to "cheese them", here are the cheese strategies through the years (if I recall correctly), please correct me if I'm wrong. 1. One could buff their Mew/Furret with boosting moves and then Baton Pass to a "Sweeper" and clear the boss - Crit was fixed, which meant that a single one could hinder the whole stategy, making it less reliable, and thus, less appealing. 2. One could build a team with 5 Sharpedo and a Wobuffet to clear most bosses in the game. You would protect, get the Speed Boost from Sharpedo and Destiny Bond the following turn. The last pokemon you would kill with Wobuffet (with a sash on it) to survive a hit and OHKO the last pokemon with Counter/Magic Coat - Species Clause was implemented, which meant that you couldn't bring 5 sharpe does anymore. 3. One could - similarly - build a team with 5 pokemon that knew Destiny Bond (Mega Banette, Sharpedo, Gengar, Froslass and Gallade) and the ol' good Wobuffet to clear most bosses. - Bosses were allowed to switch during battles, which made them harder in general (they would switch if the pokemon would start boosting or didn't make much damage), but more importantly, they completely hindered this type of team, because they would switch if you ever pressed destiny bond against them. At the present time, there's another strategy that has taken place. By using a combination of Flash, Screens, Switcheroo (with the Item that doubles stat changes) and Baton Pass, one could reliably boost a "Baton Passer" (Ninjask, Gliscor) and Sweep with another pokemon (like Pangoro, because of his ability Mold Breaker) My question is: because all the previous strategies were hindered or made useless, why should this one be allowed? Bosses are supposed to be fun. They're supposed to be the very end-game of PvE content, which you would defeat with the aid of your whole roster of Pokemon. As they are right now, they're extremely dull. The same strategy is being used against every single one of them. Then what do they stand for? SUGGESTIONS: - Remove them at all. If they're supposed to be a grind, then why do they exist at all? Just eliminate them, and lower the inflation. - Remove them, but create another game mode that IS supposed to be a grind. Nothing more, nothing less, at least don't mask it under the "supposed to be end-game material" cloak. - Ban Baton Pass at all difficulties. It's not fun to play with and it makes them dull. - Ban Baton Pass in hard mode. Let them be exploited but not for the higher rewards (the Destiny Bond issue was addressed in a similar way) But if you ban Baton Pass, how can you beat bosses? They are meant to be difficult. You're not supposed to beat them all with a single, boring and dull strategy. You're not supposed to beat them all. Hell, they have a 12d cool down, you can be happy by defeating a couple ones you know you can beat. For example: If you have a few good Psychic/Flying type Pokemons, you can easily do Chuck and Koichi in Kanto if you have some good Fire Pokemon, you can do Erika in Kanto and Bugsy in John (Dock Island) If you have a few Grass/Electric type Pokemonyou can do Misty in John I realize I might sound rude, and I do not mean to, although I may appear to be so. I just want to make the game better, if my suggestion can be supported enough. Please think this thoroughly, don't dismiss it because it would lower your income, don't dismiss it if you already have built a team for them. One thing you'll agree with me, they're a grind, and they're not fun to fight. They're just a way to make money. I'm just making a suggestion, and I'm widely open to debate. Whelp, that's all. I've written a lot more then I expected to, and if you've come to this point, thank you. - Giorgio883

Hello there, I'm Giorgio, 19 years of age and from Italy. More specifically, from the Pandemonium guild here on Silver. I've been astray for some time, looking for some fresh air, but - "Not all those who wonder are lost" - would Bilbo say. I'd be interested at last to join an international and PvP focused guild. I can't recall correctly. I used to play PvP after the first wave of Megas was released, and I got to around 250ish. I've since played very little - I've gotten back into it just recently - but I look forward to it. I hope to be an active member of your community. I'm always eager to help - although I doubt that many of your members might need guidance - and I look forward to having a good time. I enjoy drawing and doing some pixel-art works, although I'm not too great at it. A picture of my trainer card should be attached. Don't mind the money; I have the "pezze ar culo" as an Italian would say (from Rome, to be exact), which would translate to "I'm farking broke". The ID is Giorgio883#6442. Cheers!
