[Sylveon]

I'm in a bit of trouble in the game.
I've just arrived in Kanto in vermillion city. My pokemon, feraligatr and togekiss are lvl 51 and 48. I lack types and moves, my friends always says that I need more pokemon in my party- so I tried out Mamoswine. After trying to find out for an hour on the internet how to get ancientpower, he is underlevel. In addition, I have also added a scyther now holding a metal coat (will be traded tomorrow).

Mamoswine - lvl 38
Scyther - lvl 28

I'm having a lot of trouble leveling them up and the exp share isn't doing any good- rebattling the elite 4 is not viable either and I am not looking for EV points on the way because it would be a waste of time considering their natures (I know I know, I'm going to look for good ones when I finish the game). So please help me find a way how to level those two up to a decent level of maybe 50. My Mamoswine can almost wipe out Lt. Surge's gym, but I need to get him to the status quo.
Thanks to anyone who beholds a good way of training. (rate me)

How about putting your pokemon into the daycare centre? And walk around loads to level them up faster? Just a thought.. :nervous:

i looked on the help thread but it really didnt help with ev training tbh..

i have a zubat, gastly, and a treecko. i was told for zubat max his speed and his attk, and do speed and spec attk for gastly and treecko.

they all have pokerus and i can get the ev helping items like anklets and stuff from the battle dome.

now if i take crobat for example, and i give him 10 carbos to raise his speed up to 100 EV, then i give him power anklet. and i fight magikarps. 1 + 4(anklet) x 2(pokerus) = 10 spd ev per magikarp right? so 16 magikarps will give me 252 speed ev right?

once i have my 252 speed ev.. when i lvl up, do i have to repeat this process again? or do they keep the ev and just keep lvling up

No, you only need to do it once. But you won't get all the stats bonuses immediately; you will (automatically) slowy get those on your way to 100 (and by level 100 you will have all the stat bonuses).

Yep. Pokerus doubles whatever EVs you get after you add in items. If you fought Staravias for example, it would be (2+4)x2 = 12 EVs per Staravia. 152/12 = 12 2/3 Staravia you'd need to kill.
With Magikarp, it's (1+4)x2 = 10 EVs per kill; 152/10 = 15 1/5 Magikarps.

I have just reached Lugia and I have tried around 6 times to catch it but I keep failing :(
I use electric moves to bring its health right down to the lowest HP I can then I try using Ultra balls & normal Pokéballs to catch it , yet it doesn't work . I have came soo close many times . Can anyone suggest something else that I can do please ?

 

[killzone92]

you have a few ways.
Use dusk balls, since you are in a cave its effect should be maximum.
You can also send out a slow pokemon and use fast balls on it. I did this with mewtwo and I caught it with my first one.
Also try to cripple it. Paralyze, sleep etc

 

[SiReNzZ]

Thanks very much for the help :)
If you exit the cave to purchase some Duskballs , will Lugia still be there when I return ??

Thanks in advance

I just finish playing the elite 4. I got killed when I get to Karen. What kind of weakness does dark type pokemon has?

This types are super-effective against Dark Pokémon: Dark and Bug type.

 

[bobandbill]

^Don't forget about the Fighting Type as well - that too is strong against Dark. And...Dark isn't super-effective against Dark. =P

Simple question guys, what level do you think i should level my Growlithe at? I was thinking before 39 since i want to learn ExtremeSpeed.

 

[Alexeon]

Well, it really depends on your final moveset. Though since I'm the one who bred it for you (xD), I know you already have Flare Blitz. Unless you need Crunch, Agility, or Heat Wave, I'd say evolving early is not a problem. But as for when to evolve for Extremespeed, keep in mind you can use a Heart Scale to relearn it if you evolve it into Arcanine passed level 39. So don't worry about missing out on that move...just worry about what of Growlithe's moves you might miss out on if you evolve too early.

Well since you're so awesome-sauce you gave me crunch as well xP thinking about getting flamethrower tho, after that i think it will be time.

Well, you can always use a TM to learn Flamethrower, but I guess having Growlithe learn it via level-up would save you from dealing with the Game Corner. -_-

And you may want to look into Fire Blast and Overheat as well. Just need to think about what's more important for your Arcanine: reliability or power?

mount silver works for me ^_^
but you could also try dragons den (the pokemon are low, but still give nice bit of experience, well the dratinis do :P )
also victory road is useful ^_^

 

[kakarot]

Hi guys, what ball did you use to catch Latios in SS?
