Question: How do you level up your Pokemon faster?

[ElNastio13]

How does one level up your pokemon fast? I have several I would like to level up well, but I find it VERY time consuming =(

All of the pokemon I have were aquired by trade/imported in from GBA. I know if I fight with only my lead pokemon and equip with Exp. Share they gain more. I could also put them into the Day Care I suppose, but I might be missing out on EV's and extra stats.


Is there a level where it is safe to put pokemon in the day care/use rare candies and not worry about their stats being under-valued?

Is there a fast way to level up other than fighting fighting fighting?

Any good spots to gain lotso EXP?




Any help would be appreciated!

Never use the Daycare or Rare Candies; they don't factor EVs.

Personally, I use an EXP-boosting code to raise my competition Pokemon. If that isn't your thing, just pit them against the Elite Four over and over, they being the strongest opponents available. Use the Lucky Egg to double EXP, and if possible, trade to a different cart to double EXP even more.

If you want ev training, then look here.

If you want to raise them faster, i was able to raise pokemon from lv.1 up to the 70's in 1 day, just by battling in the Fight Area. That of course i had items like lucky egg.

I'll have NO PROBLEM using a EXP boosting code....do I need a Pro Action Replay to do it? Also, do you need Level 100's to battle competitively?

(As you can clearly tell, I'm a nub when it comes to onlien battles).

I don't have DP, BUT.. IN ALL of the ones I have played. What I normally do, is put the pokemon I wanna level at the front. So they come out first, then switch to one of my wall/sweepers. Like Metagross, Blaziken, Swampert. W/e, while I ALSO have the pokemon I want to lvl holding the Exp. Share. So they then gain 3 quarters of the XP, instead of only half. And since they get part of the EV from the sharing of the Exp Share. They still gain EV. ^^

Take your group to somewhere akin to Victory road, or Sky Pillar. Somewhere with 40+ Wild pokemon, to beat up. Should help out with the exping your pokemon. ^^

Thats for R/S/E, he means places to train in D/P. ^-^

No, but I prefer to have my Pokemon lv100 for local battles, where the only other players I'll get to fight are those who've been able to get theirs to lv100, thus are worth my precious time at conventions where I meet other players.

I know, thats why I said "akin". Akin means alike, similar, and so on. ^^ So something akin would be, like the place that Dragon ghost thing is, or where you find Dialga. Idk, but the place you find the bigger shiny legendary pokemon. Every Pokemon game has them, Cerulean cave, Sky Pillar, w/e.

Oh ok, then again, still the only places to fight in Diamond is E4 or the island you go to after you beat the game. :P

After you finish EV training I think you can put them in day care and they'll be fine. I remember in the GBA games if you walked up that thing you needed the mach bike to get up, and taped the d-pad down, your Pokemon in day-care would level up and probably be lv. 100 if you left it on overnight. I don't know if it works for d/p, but you should try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, then just keep fighting the E4 with a lucky egg.

 

[ElNastio13]

Yeah, I've been fighting the E4 over and over again, but my Pokemon are still leveling up very very very slowly. And there are multiple pokemons that I would like to level up. Guess you just need patience.


These experince codes that were mentioned before, are they with the Action Replay?


EDITED TO SAY: I appreciate all the help offered thus far in this thread!

 

[ThatInsaneKid]

Yes, the EXP codes mentioned are for Action Replay.

On another note, without an AR, I'd do the following:

Find a Lucky Egg. Chansey's can be found in the route between Hearthome and Solaceon.

Then, fight the E4. Over. And over. And over. If you want a break from that, go into Stark Mountain or Turnback Cave.

And once every weekend, go to Battle Island and fight your Rival in the Survival Zone. His Poke's are in their 60's.

And yeah... That's pretty much the best method for EXP gain. Like mentioned before, once you're done doing the actual EV training, trade the Pokes you want to level to another game if you can. That'll help a bit.

 

[ElNastio13]

Thanks for the assist. Looks like I have a fair amount of work to do still....

Unless I get that AR! =)

 

[Ichida]

If you get it, PM me and I'll give you the code that gives you 65335 EXP per battle, not counting multipliers like Lucky Egg or being traded.

 

[Shiraishi]

Isn't geting a lucky egg easier in pokemon XD? I'm planning to do that. Idc about getting my pokes to lvl 100. Why? The only place where I meet ppl to battle with other than wi-fi is nintendo world in NYC. And..they have wi-fi there.

 

[ShadowTails]

It's ok to use the Daycare/Rare candies, as long as you manually level the said Pokemon to 100 it should be fine.

Pretty much what he said right there.

But if you level them up without thinking, then they will be weak with no EVs.

From what I've seen so far AR, the exp. code appears to be optional. So you would still fight for EV training initially, and then once that is completed you polish off the leveling with boosted EXP.

Could be mistaken though.

Is using that experience bossting AR thing "bad?" Will Nintendo be able to tell and like kick you off the GTS or something?
