Sinnoh Battle Tower: Teams and Preparation

Direct answer

Sinnoh is Tower Stage 4. Prepare for mixed Cyrus, a single level-90 Arceus with all 18 Traits at T1, and Cynthia’s level-91–96 team. A held Rocky Helmet can return 12% of the attacker’s maximum HP per hit, but you still need enough HP to survive Arceus and a separate plan for Cynthia. A clear pays 650₽ and opens Unova.

Start here: Sinnoh Tower, not Story

Use an owned Ground or Psychic attacker for Poison-heavy Koga, but Stunky is Poison/Dark and blocks Psychic. Fire is valuable into Aaron’s Bug forms; his Wormadam Trash is Bug/Steel and 4× Fire-weak. Clemont’s Rotom forms use Metronome: read their current attack types, and do not send a Ground-only move into Rotom Fan’s Flying immunity.

Clear Hoenn 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

Sources: Pokelike official v3.5 client — Tower, permanent investment, eggs and Mega unlocks · Pokémon types & type chart

  • Cyrus: levels 64–69: Heatran is 4× Ground-weak; Palkia, Dialga and the two Giratina forms need different answers. Fairy helps the Dragons but is neutral into Steel/Dragon Dialga, whose Steel type cancels Dragon’s Fairy weakness. Keep Ground/Fighting or other relevant coverage rather than treating every member as the same Dragon target.
  • Arceus: level 90, every type Trait T1: It is one Normal-type Pokémon, not an ordinary six-member Normal team. Fighting is the base super-effective attack; Rocky Helmet’s held-item recoil can punish each hit if the holder survives. All-T1 includes offensive, control and defensive effects, so protect the recoil holder and maintain a backup. This is a conditional counter plan, not proof that any low-level holder wins.
  • Cynthia: levels 91–96: Spiritomb is Ghost/Dark and needs Fairy rather than Fighting. Steel helps Togekiss; Electric/Grass helps Milotic; Ice is 4× into Garchomp’s Dragon/Ground profile. Avoid losing the only Ice/Fairy or Water answer during the Arceus fight, then change the lead for Cynthia’s actual order.

Choose a starter and spend for the next missing role

Use an owned Ground or Psychic attacker for Poison-heavy Koga, but Stunky is Poison/Dark and blocks Psychic. Fire is valuable into Aaron’s Bug forms; his Wormadam Trash is Bug/Steel and 4× Fire-weak. Clemont’s Rotom forms use Metronome: read their current attack types, and do not send a Ground-only move into Rotom Fan’s Flying immunity.

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 Sinnoh Tower clear pays 650₽. It opens Unova 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 325₽. 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.

What the source does not prove

  • Facts were read from the official v3.5 client on October 19, 2026. Counter plans are recommendations from its actual rosters and mechanics, not a recorded clear or a win-rate guarantee.
  • Ordinary Tower data is shown; special Challenge rules can change rosters, levels, Traits, Items and eligibility.
