What is the Battle Frontier
The Battle Frontier is a place where the top trainers travel to for Pokemon Battles. Some of the best farms in PokeMMO are here, like Tentacruel, Smeargle, and Battle Point Farms. This guide will explain to you the best methods to get all of the above and make poke-bank with your Pokemon.

The Battle Frontier Map
The Battle Frontier is a small island in the Hoenn region with a few major landmarks, but for this guide we will focus on the Battle Tower, Prize Booth, and Artisan Cave.


Artisan Cave
Artisan Cave is a small nook near the entrance to the Battle Frontier, you need Surf, and a Wailmer Pail to access it. A Wailmer Pail is obtained by talking to the lady in the Flower Shop just below Rustboro City. Once you have the required tools, walk over to the suspicious looking tree, and engage with it. It turns out that it is a Sudowoodo, KO it and go down the waterfall, then surf to the left to find Artisan Cave.

What is so special about this cave, you ask? Well, it has 100% Encounter Rate Smeargle in it! Smeargle are incredibly easy to knock out, but that's just the beginning of it. If you have a Pokemon with the move Payday you can gain approximately 500¥ per Smeargle smacked with Payday. So with this information you may be wondering, what Pokemon should I use to efficiently KO Smeargle? Well, our next section will cover that.

The Pokemon
Any Pokemon below will do, but some may be better than others. It will be listed by their relative price-points to create.

Budget - Eevee

Spoiler

Cost
* AVG 5,000¥ or 15,000¥

You will need an Eevee with the ability Adaptability, trained to LVL100, this Pokemon also needs a Nature that increases ATK, like Adamant, if you have an Eevee with Adaptability but not a +ATK Nature then you can use a Silk Scarf which is a easy to do compromise. This all assumes your Eevee has 0x31 in ATK, if your Eevee has at least 8 ATK you can ignore the Silk Scarf and +ATK Nature. Train this Eevee to Level 100, it isn't needed to EV Train it in HP and SPEED but those are always nice. Teach the Eevee Payday through the TM Payday.

The Eevee should cost about 5,000¥ whereas the TM Payday should cost 10,000¥ but you should probably have one in inventory if you have beaten a region like Kanto, which means it would only cost 5,000¥  to make this Eevee. Adaptability powers up same type moves even more than they normally do, which makes it at level 100 just able to KO a LVL 50 Smeargle with all Perfect IVS using Payday, and of course, this Pokemon should have Payday then three moves of choice on it. This farm is extremely cheap to do, but the Eevee would primarily be used for the Smeargle Farm due to it doesn't have Pickup like Meowth, nor the ability to learn any move like Smeargle.

Trainin' Tips
* You can catch an Eevee on Route 22 in Kanto to save you money, you'd only need great balls for this therefore making this farm practically free to create!

Middle - Smeargle

Spoiler

Cost
* AVG 80,000¥

You will need to breed an Adamant Nature Smeargle with 2x31 IVs in ATK and SPEED, and train it to LVL100 with 252 EVS in ATK and SPEED
The Smeargle should have False Swipe, Assist, Soak, and Payday. The first three are so that Smeargle can farm other things that aren't Smeargles, therefore increasing its value.

Trainin' Tips
* Nidorino can be farmed with Sweet Scent at Route 15 in Kanto for ATK EVS
* Rapidash can be farmed with Sweet Scent at Route 12 in Unova for SPEED EVS

Middle - Meowth

Spoiler

Cost
* AVG 80,000¥

You will need to breed an Adamant Nature Meowth with 2x31 IVs in ATK and SPEED, and train it to LVL100 with 252 EVS in ATK and SPEED
The Meowth needs Payday of course, and the other three moves are up for preference since this Meowth should only be using Payday in battles.
Note, DO NOT evolve Meowth, if you do it will lose its Pickup Ability, which is what makes it superior than the other Payday Pokemon.

Trainin' Tips
* Nidorino can be farmed with Sweet Scent at Route 15 in Kanto for ATK EVS
* Rapidash can be farmed with Sweet Scent at Route 12 in Unova for SPEED EVS

The Battle Tower Guide
The Battle Tower is where the best trainers out there battle it out for Battle Points, a currency which you can use at the Exchange Service for something Fantabulous. What's so special about the items in the Exchange Services? Well, let's find out.

The Exchange Service
The Exchange Service is located just below the Battle Tower, with a bunch of NPCs who will trade your Battle Points for AMAZING Prizes, but there are two that you should focus on. 
The Lass on the right hand side sells Battle Items, for Competitive Players. The most important items she sells are Choice Bands, Choice Scarves, and Choice Specs for 9,800BP. These items all sell on the GTL for approximately 90,000¥ and they sell pretty fast too, down to the left of her is a NPC that will sell Breeding Bands for 750BP, they can't be traded, but save you about 10,000¥ each time you breed. So if you like to breed, Breeding Bands are the way to go.


Battle Frontier NPCs
The NPCs in the Battle Tower may start easy, but after you beat fifty of them or so they become quite deadly. This is a list of the NPCs, and their Pokemon.
