16. Battle Tent [btltn]
===============
Battle Tents are a new feature in Pokemon Emerald, and they can be found in
Slateport City, Fallarbor Town, and Verdanturf Town, where the Hyper, Super,
and Normal Rank Contests, respectively, were found in Ruby & Sapphire.
Where are the Contests, you ask? Lilycove City. Every single one of them.
Each Battle Tent has different challenges for you to overcome, and should you
do so, you will win a prize.
==========================
16a. Slateport Battle Tent [sbtlt]
==========================
This is the first Battle Tent you come across. The challenge is Battle Swap. In
this challenge, you can only use three Pokemon, all of which are provided. Each
one is Lv.30. You must participate in three Single Battles (1-on-1). After each
battle, you may choose to swap one of your Pokemon with a Pokemon belonging to
the Trainer you just defeated. You can't look at Summaries of Pokemon that you
swap, so pay attention to your opponent's attacks. Most able-to-evolve Basic
Pokemon possess killer movesets, so be on the lookout for them.
For winning, you will receive a Full Heal.
===========================
16b. Verdanturf Battle Tent [vbtlt]
===========================
In this Battle Tent, you use three of your own Pokemon. Your opponent's
Pokemon's levels will match those of your strongest Pokemon, but the lowest
level they will have is Lv.30. If your Pokemon are below Lv.30, your opponent's
Pokemon will still be Lv.30. What's different here is that you can't command
your Pokemon. They will attack on their own based on their natures. Because of
this, you will want to raise Pokemon designed specifically for this Tent.
Normal battling Pokemon will usually fail miserably here.
Should you manage to win, you'll be rewarded with a Nest Ball.
==========================
16c. Fallarbor Battle Tent [fbtlt]
==========================
This is an easy Battle Tent to win at. You are use three of your own Pokemon.
Your opponent's Pokemon's levels will match those of your strongest Pokemon,
but the lowest level they will have is Lv.30. If your Pokemon are below Lv.30,
your opponent's Pokemon will still be Lv.30. Here, each match is only three
turns long. A match is defined as one Pokemon against another. Trainers are not
allowed to switch their Pokemon out, and the order you register them in is the
order they will appear in the battle. If one Pokemon defeats another, a new
match starts when the defeated Pokemon's player replaces the fainted Pokemon.
At the end of three turns, if a Pokemon has not been defeated yet, the referee
will decide the winner based on three criteria:
Mind: Pokemon that battled with the most guts. You will earn more Mind points
by telling your Pokemon to use an offensive attack.
Skill: Pokemon that used moves well. Every time you order your Pokemon to use
an offensive attack, and that attack is successful, Skill points will
rise. If it fails, Skill points are lowered. If you attack their
weakness, more Skill points are earned. Likewise, if you hit a Pokemon's
resistance or immunity, Skill points are taken away. However, if a
Pokemon uses Protect or Detect, and the other pokemon uses an attack and
gets blocked by Protect or Detect, Skill points will not be deducted.
Body: This one's easy. Whoever has the most HP at the end wins.
Defeat three Trainers in a row and you will earn a Hyper Potion.
