Silver Trench - Battle Tips
Recommended Level: 63+
Being underleveled in the Silver Trench can easily wipe out your team. Enter when all of your team members are at least at Level 63. This will help you to survive being one or two-shotted by an enemy.
Recommended Pokemon: Electric & Dark
Since most of the enemies within the Dungeon are water-types, having an Electric Pokemon is recommended. Dark is also good to battle against Lugia at the end of the Dungeon.
Have Pokemon with Small Stomach & Squeeze Out
Surviving in the Silver Trench is easier with Pokemon with Small Stomach and Squeeze Out abilities. Small Stomach will help with Stamina Management while Squeeze Out will help with PP management.
Recommended Items to Bring
| Item | Use |
|---|---|
| X-Ray Specs | Will let you see enemies on the map. Great for planning out how you move in a floor. Great for seeing monster rooms |
| Google Specs | Lets you see traps. Great for seeing monster rooms |
| Apples | Recruit fainted Pokemon or use to regain stamina. Only use Big Apples for regaining Stamina |
| Revival Items | Revive Seeds should only be used on Main Pokemon. Have 3-4 Revive All Orbs, but use them only when needed |
| Crowd-Control Items | Petrify Wands and One-Shot Orbs are your last resorts to survive |
| Max Elixirs | Will recover PP for a Pokemon. Use it only when the PP is at 0-1 |
Do Not Forget to Link Moves
Before entering the dungeon, ensure that you've set up link moves for you team. Combine buffs with attacks or attacks with another attack to increase your DPS.

Having as many Pokemon in your team is a must since allies will help you attack enemies and spread the aggro from enemies. Cloyster and Starmie are great recruits!
Team Movement is Essential
The way you move your team across floors is essential. Do not be caught by enemy Pokemon at a narrow corridor. Always set up a perimeter of Pokemon when entering rooms. Entering the room solo is dangerous.
Watch Out for Pokemon with Multi-Hit Moves
Don't get caught in a corridor because the Pokemon in this dungeon have linear multi-hit moves. Hydro Pump and Hyper Beam can easily wipe out your team!
Watch the Tail End of Your Team
Always be aware of the tail-end of your team. It's quite easy for enemy Pokemon to pick up those at the back of your team if you're not careful enough.
