But that's doubles, last I checked Red is only in Singles.

...Although, I kind of dig the idea of abusing the shit out of that when I finally get around to the Doubles tree. I'm really terrible at rough drafts of teams, so I'm just going crazy trying to build a team for Super Singles and/or competitive in general.

And that's EVs, not levels. Do... do you know what those are?

Anyway, if you want to get through the battle tree, you're going to need to properly EV train a decent team. If you happen to get up to LV 100 in the process, which is not at all likely, you can even fix up bad IVs with Hyper Training.

What he said, Red is in Singles, you face Blue in Doubles.

And yes I know what EVs are, I Super Trained half my Pokémon before I brought them over. But since I already attempted the tree twice and failed miserably both times the risk isn't worth it. I'm better off trading for them.

Just trying to be helpful here, but I'm certain that you can get the stones yourself if you have the right team. Put a diverse team together with a wide range of coverage moves and a hand full of items and see what you can do. When I cleared the singles branch for the first time I used Xurkitree, Tapu Bulu and Buzzswole (Though my doubles team is far better nowadays)

If I can way in here, try putting in two ultra beasts (Pheramosa and Xurkitree are the best all out attackers) and one of the tapus (Bulu or Koko should work fine.) These are only suggestions though, but yeah I'll admit and say the battle tree is bullshit sometimes but that's just pokemon in a nutshell. If you wanna see real bullshit, playing against other people is full of it.

Thanks for the suggestion but like I said I don't have them leveled up yet because I'm still Shiny hunting right now.

It auto sets them to level 50. You don't need to level them up, just EV train them and give them a decent moveset.

The Battle Tree isn't THAT hard, it has the legendary Special Attacker Golisopod, after all.

Speaking of that, you might want to try an Imposter Ditto. I got a lot of good out of it when I was grinding for BP.

EDIT: lmao how did I fuck that up

Wrong thread, hon.

But yeah, that's why I always drink with food and good (read: accountability-holding) company.

Thanks for that lol

You owe me those stones!

I tried your strategy and I STILL got wrecked! This time by a Swampert that Earthquaked my team to death!

Movesets or be quiet.
