hihats

gj aard! sick strategy. If you want to share your ninjask team build that would also be great, for those who want to earn some $$$ How much longer does it take?

THIS. Please make text and animations faster. It's painful to play this game. It's painful to spectate this game. Also Aard is onto something pretty big. I was never aware of this log in log out glitch. IMO the best fix for this is to just make animations fast so it isn't even a consideration to "abuse" logging in and out to have an "advantage" on other players. He just set a new record time for beating E4 using this mechanic, and well props to him for pulling it off! Not even sure abusing this glitch really saved him all that much time, 1 minute max, imo it was the superior , if costly memento strategy. Also adding a cooldown to loggin in and out would suck for all the times you get disconected.

Well it is region dependant, and if i remember correctly after the 5th time you beat E4, they should always be lvl 100.

wow man GJ! Prize money ran out, however fame is importanter! lol. Give it a try, we still need some records for Unova and Hoenn region. Apparently Shuck is destroying Kanto. I am keeping the first post updated with the records.

yeah really solid team, I like it alot! Have you considered minimize on drifblim btw? That would also provide some safety, though it seems it would slow you down lol. Any plans to do Hoenn and Unova with the team?

damn GJ shuck, that's a new level of OPness right there! Would you change anything on that team? Looks like you really didn't need the defense boosts from vaporeon and drifblim, though I like the idea of going full boosts lol. BTW why not use protect + sub on ninjask instead of leech life?

Can you remove the cooldown timer on losses only? i was in the same situation as Quarok and it is TRULY frustrating to be locked out of E4. It took me about 10 tries to beat E4 a few months ago when I redid a playthrough. Difficulty is okayish. Real slap in the face to lose to lorelei lol...and then have a nice timeout in the corner. You don't get any reward for defeating a few leaders of the E4 so there is no reason not to do this. Doing E4 rematches also sucks balls if you lose on the first or second fight, then you gotta wait 30+ minutes or change to another zone. total turnoff and I often just log out. Thank you for your consideration.

Prize sent! Yeah good point on the crits. i guess since you are just passing a few stat boosts it really makes it more consistent. I was going full BP on some runs and either it worked really well or id get hit with an unlucky crit and bam, chain was dead. Also it takes forever to pass many boosts, so it is quite slow to baton pass more than a few times, like 10+ minutes per fight compared to your 5-6minutes. That is really good. cheers!

well damn shuck, that's a great job you did there! Very nice! What is your IGN so that I can mail you the 1,000,000$ reward? How would you rate your success rate with the team? Looks like crits could mess you up. Even if the prize is claimed I still encourage you guys to keep trying this. Especially since the winning team, while excellent, looks like it isn't even optimal. Also we still need good times for unova and hoenn! I will keep this post updated with any new records.

the offer is still on guys, cmon!

I had gathered some info on Unova E4 teams a while back, so here it is. Feel free to include in your guide. It's great that you are working on it! Have a look at this thread for team builds that have worked for some players. @RacheLucario One of champion Alders teams is missing a pokemon. Didn't want to let you know since the easier win is greatly appreciated. P.S. If you actually want people doing E4, remove full restores and auto-heal teams after each fight. It's a huge struggle when you are just starting out, I wasted more than 1million on revives and potions doing these E4 runs. Was lucky I had the funds, instant turn-off when you barely win and need to revive/heal/pp 4+ pokes, 25k down the drain. And then you fail on the next fight. Apologies for the rant, but having to heal up between fights sucks balls, E4 would be great if not for that. I find you have done fantastic work and it is a real challenge.

Haha that's fine just make sure you record if you make it to 35 mins or less ;)

mago1993, that is awesome. I will update the main post to list you as current Kanto champion. The $1,000,000 reward has yet to be claimed. CMON guys and gals!

The event is still on! Man if you can hit 25 mins that would be awesome!

Well I have had some fights against leaders last around 5-6 minutes. So 5 fights X 6 minutes is 30 minutes. Hence the challenge. I believe 35 mins should be possible, that is just 11 minutes less than the current record. What I noticed takes time is when i'm stalling out turns forcing switches for spikes damage. So yeah hyper offense would be a possible way to be fast. 2-3 years ago it would take me 20 minutes to beat the first round of E4 before the level caps. Just realized you are maybe thinking about a speedrun for the whole game. What I meant is a speedrun of just the elite 4 instance once they have lvl 100 teams.
