Talk:Battle Chateau

Ranks

I've almost never seen any trainers my own rank in the Chateau (besides Baron/nesses). Should I be seeing them (I only see 1 or 2 each time), or should I just buy a writ? How quick do writs take effect? -- Pringles 00:36, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

What rank are you? It's pretty rare to see ones of your own rank, so that's normal. Never used a writ before.--BigBadBatter (talk) 00:42, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure I'm Marquis, but I usually see only Baron/nesses, and maybe a Viscount or two. -- Pringles 00:44, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

From my observations, the trainers that you face are randomly selected from the pool of available ranks (with at least one exception). I have spent dozens of hours grinding at the Battle Chateau (I'm a Grand Duke, despite only having completed 5 gyms) and it appears to be random what trainers I face. If you have reached the rank of Marquis then gym leaders you have already beaten will also be on the roster for potential opponents. Also if you have the rank of Grand Duke/Duchess then you should be able to fight the champion, however, as I have yet to face the Elite Four the champion is not within my potential opponent roster so I cannot verify this.

Certain writs will make trainers respawn faster thus increasing your chances of facing trainers of your rank. However, if you are using it as a grinding spot, as I have been, I would recommend that you issue writs of challenge, excluding blue (it will decrease opponents levels), so that you are facing higher level Pokémon.
