    Well, they key for almost any in-game battle is to level up your Pok?mon higher than their's, and carry some good items. Which battle in particular are you having difficulty with? How many badges/how far in the game are you?

  • -you can try using other pokemon against Treecko/Grovyle (it'll never be a Sceptile sadly...)

    -level up (usually that's the problem... too low level)

    -stock up on revives, and other potions

    -only the last time you fight the rival will s/he have Leaf Blade. All the other time it's absorb all the way... (absorb is a very weak move...)

    If your mudkip evolved into a Mashtomp, then you'll have a doubleweakness to grass types. teach mashtomp or mudkip TM 13 (ice beam). Ice beam can be found on the abandoned ship in between Dewford and slateport. or you can buy it inthe Maulville cassino.

  • I think Pikagrrl is having problems at the first battle cause if its later you dont have to use your Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert My advice is to use a Numel or Torkal, or some other fire type you can get earlier in the game! If you mean the first battle against your Rival you should stay in the grass and battle wild Pokemon and trainers until Mudkips at a decent level! I hope that helped!

    Don't post twice in a row please, it's called double posting.

    You can try around Victory Road, it takes a while but there aren't too many alternatives...

  • Chirooman.it's called "double-posting" and it isn't looked good upon in this forum...If you have to double post, you can instead edit your previous post...
