Battle the Tower Tycoon in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Q: How to beat Palmer in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Battle Tower?

The Battle Tower is a post-game facility where you can test your Pokémon's strength in single-player or multiplayer battles. In single-player, you choose three Pokémon, are lowered to level 50, and face a series of trainers. You can choose to continue, rest (save), or retire. After every 7 battles, you earn 3 BP. As you progress through streaks, trainers become more challenging. Be wary of AI "cheating" with high-accuracy one-hit-kill moves; use Focus Sash, Ghost-type Pokémon with Levitate, or Pokémon with the Sturdy Ability to counter them. After completing your third streak (21 battles), you can challenge the Tower Tycoon, Palmer.

Tips

Countering "Cheating" Moves: Be aware that the AI may use one-hit-kill moves (like Guillotine, Fissure, Horn Drill, Sheer Cold) with increased accuracy. To counter:
- Use a Focus Sash to survive a one-hit KO, leaving you with 1 HP.
Use a Ghost-type Pokémon against moves like Guillotine or Horn Drill. A Ghost-type with Levitate (like Gengar, Mismagius, Rotom) can also avoid Fissure. Spiritomb's Pressure ability forces opponents to use double PP.
Pokémon with the Sturdy Ability (e.g., Forretress, Donphan, Golem, Magnezone) can also prevent one-hit KOs. Note that Rampardos and Pinsir do not benefit from Sturdy against these moves.

Palmer's Weaknesses: Palmer's team includes Milotic, Rhyperior, and Dragonite.

Milotic: Weak to Electric-type attacks. Its Marvel Scale ability boosts defense when stat conditions are applied, and it can use Hypnosis and Attract. Use Thunderbolt or status moves like Toxic.
Rhyperior: Its Solid Rock ability reduces damage from super-effective moves. It's weak to Water, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Ground, and Steel. Be aware that its 4x weaknesses (Water, Ice) will only do 1.33x damage due to Solid Rock.
Dragonite: Weak to Ice and Dragon-type attacks. It holds a Lum Berry to negate the first status effect. Ice Beam is effective against both Milotic and Dragonite.
