Johto Battle Tower: Teams and Preparation

Start here: Johto Tower, not Story

An owned Ground attacker such as Geodude or Sandshrew is useful into Volkner’s Electric opening; ordinary Tower starters can come from other generations. With only the local defaults, Chikorita resists Electric, while Totodile needs protection. Add Fire for Jasmine, Grass for Brock’s Water/Ground Quagsire, and a Fairy/Steel or other actual answer before Eusine.

Clear Kanto Tower to unlock this stage. A Story clear with the same region name does not substitute for that Tower stage clear.

All nine fixed opponents: teams, levels and Traits

These are the v3.5 ordinary Tower opponents in map order, including configured Shiny slots. Fixed enemies can keep evolved or special forms below their usual evolution levels. Levels include slot offsets and the trainer bonus; they are opponent reference levels, not required player levels. Special Challenge multipliers are excluded.

Prepare for the final three maps

• Blaine: levels 55–60: Fire T3 gives a strong opening boost. Water pressure covers much of the team, but Ho-Oh is Fire/Flying and Houndoom is Dark/Fire: do not lean on Ground for the flyer or Psychic for Houndoom. Preserve an attacker that can act before the boosted enemies sweep.
• Eusine: levels 63–68: This is a mixed Water/Fairy/Psychic/Flying roster, not six pure Water enemies. Electric helps Azumarill, Suicune and Lugia; Steel or Poison helps Granbull/Togekiss. Keep Grass away from Togekiss’s Flying matchup and inspect the displayed moves.
• Silver: levels 69–79: Weavile and Tyranitar are 4× weak to Fighting; Magnezone is 4× weak to Ground. Those do not solve Gengar/Alakazam/Crobat. Keep a second role for Psychic/Ghost and an Electric/Ice/Rock move for the final Crobat, whose shiny slot and extra levels make it a real end check.

Choose a starter and spend for the next missing role

An owned Ground attacker such as Geodude or Sandshrew is useful into Volkner’s Electric opening; ordinary Tower starters can come from other generations. With only the local defaults, Chikorita resists Electric, while Totodile needs protection. Add Fire for Jasmine, Grass for Brock’s Water/Ground Quagsire, and a Fairy/Steel or other actual answer before Eusine.

Start with the unlocked evolution line you can develop and whose current move handles the opening. Permanent Vitamins cost 200₽ each and normally add 5% to the selected stat per point; Attack and Special Attack are paired in the budget. Compare one available replacement before investing, and keep the outgoing resistance or immunity visible.

Clear reward, next unlock and failure payout

An ordinary Johto Tower clear pays 350₽. It opens Hoenn Tower.

A defeated ordinary Tower run pays round(10% × this stage’s clear reward × maps already completed), once for that loss. For example, five completed maps here pay 175₽. This is not a reward for abandoning a run or a claimed coins-per-minute test.

A recorded non-Challenge Tower clear also raises the Vitamin cap to min(10 × your highest cleared stage, 50). Kalos unlocks the Mega Bracelet; ORAS unlocks the extra ORAS stone set, while each stone still needs its own winning-Challenge MVP count.

Before the next fight: make a concrete check

Sources: Pokelike official v3.5 client — Tower, permanent investment, eggs and Mega unlocks

• Inspect the next opponent, its actual attack and current weather/ability effects; change the lead and held item for that fight.
• Keep enough HP and a backup for the last opponent rather than spending every answer on the previous trainer.
• Enter the moves you actually use in the Analyzer. It does not simulate these boss rosters, levels, weather, Mega abilities or battle outcomes.
• A caught Pokémon is not automatically a permanent Starter. Complete a run with a non-legendary evolution line; legendary egg/event unlocks follow their separate rules.
