1. if ur starters love you, you should have them know the ultimate moves
2. use the guys that have alot of different moves and that can kill a super effective opponent
3. use items like shell bells and leftovers for regaining health and magnets & charcoal or other items that can increase the power of the pokemons moves (magnet=electric, charcoal=fire ect.)
4. use some of those berrys that weaken to foes supper effective moves. (you can find them by talking to that girl in the town near lake valor[i forgot the name rit now] , the one with the safari zone.
5.use oran berrys and sitrus berrys(make them hold it to regain health when orange)
6. i personally like the razor claw out of those items. use the quick claw for slow guys (but it only works at random)
get a veriety of types(I find that a dragon, an electric and a fire do the job at battle towers) its always good to have a fire type/guy w/ fire move cause battle tower people like shedinja for some reason...
Okay thats it.
