Kalos Battle Tower

Start here: Kalos Tower, not Story

Grant’s mixed Rock opening needs real Water/Grass/Fighting coverage, followed by Emma’s varied roster and Korrina’s Fighting/Steel group. Fire/Ground helps several Korrina members, but Hawlucha is Ground-immune and Pangoro is Psychic-immune; Fairy is 4× into Pangoro. Prepare a second role before treating a type stack as a complete route.

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

One reported type approach

The cited thread includes a community strategy using Dragon, Fire, Flying, and Steel.

The page records that as one approach, not a permanent Tier List, and it does not prove the route will clear the stage.

Collection-aware checklist

• Choose from Pokémon already available to you.
• Check shared weaknesses created by repeated types.
• Compare the Trait points gained from overlap.
• Enter real attack types instead of assuming moves.
• Use Swap to expose the cost of changing one member.

All nine fixed opponents: teams, levels and Traits

These are the v3.5 ordinary Tower fight configurations, in map order. Names follow the original fetchSpeciesForLevel rule without de-evolving fixed enemies. Levels include each slot offset and the trainer bonus; they are opponent reference levels, not required player levels. Special Challenge multipliers are excluded.

Prepare for the final three maps

• Diantha: levels 78–83: Ground hits Dedenne; Steel/Poison help Fairy targets, while Hoopa Unbound’s Psychic/Dark profile takes 4× Bug damage. Mega Gardevoir’s current Mega Symphonia hits every foe at half damage and disables the Psychic Trait. Reserve a healthy Steel/Poison/Bug-capable answer instead of relying solely on Dragon, which Fairy blocks.
• Lysandre: levels 89–94: Fairy is 4× into Hydreigon and useful into Mega Gyarados, but it does not replace Steel/Poison for Xerneas. Zygarde Complete is Dragon/Ground and 4× Ice-weak. Mandibuzz and Yveltal are Dark/Flying, so a Ground-only finisher fails to cover both.
• AZ: levels 111–116: All six are Mega forms. Fighting is 4× into Mega Tyranitar, Grass is 4× into Mega Swampert, and Ice is 4× into Dragon/Ground Mega Zygarde. Mega Floette is Fairy, so keep a Steel/Poison answer and do not finish your plan with Dragon alone. These are base type counter roles; Mega abilities, HP, levels and real moves can change the result.

Choose a starter and spend for the next missing role

Grant’s mixed Rock opening needs real Water/Grass/Fighting coverage, followed by Emma’s varied roster and Korrina’s Fighting/Steel group. Fire/Ground helps several Korrina members, but Hawlucha is Ground-immune and Pangoro is Psychic-immune; Fairy is 4× into Pangoro. Prepare a second role before treating a type stack as a complete route.

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.

• Choose an unlocked starter
• Plan Vitamins and the cap
• Check my exact attacks and swap

Clear reward, next unlock and failure payout

An ordinary Kalos Tower clear pays 950₽. It opens ORAS 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 475₽. 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.

A comparison you can reproduce

Kalos example: keep Fire T1 while adding Water protection

For a collection containing these Gen 6 Pokémon, compare Pyroar → Clawitzer beside Talonflame, Delphox, Chesnaught, Aegislash and Dragalge. This is a type-and-Trait comparison, not a tested Stage 6 winning roster.

Clawitzer reduces Water-weak members and adds another Water resistance. Fire falls from three points to two, so T1 stays active. The cost is losing Pyroar’s Normal-type Ghost immunity while Delphox and Aegislash remain Ghost-weak. You also add Electric and Grass weaknesses to the replaced slot. Check the next opponent’s actual attacks before accepting the trade.

All six members are normal, with no Shiny, Mutant or passive bonuses. These are type-chart and Trait calculations, not a battle simulation or a claim that you own the roster. No attacks are prefilled: add the moves you actually have after loading. For Story, switch the tool’s mode; these Trait Tiers describe its Battle Tower calculation.
