OK, try training them some more. :3
Train around...the routes next to Sunnyshore.
You know, the one on the way to Sunnyshore, and the route above Sunnyshore. (Sorry, forgot the name of the routes).

All of their Pokémon are in the 40's, so you will get some decent EXP. Train them all to at least Lv. 55.

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:03 AM

Thanks! I'll try that now and see if it works. Keep them suggestions coming!

JP April 24th, 2009 6:05 AM

Also make sure you keep a lot of revives and full restores/max potions, you're gonna need them.

Psyburn April 24th, 2009 6:05 AM

Gallade and Infernape should take out Aaron with little trouble, but be wary of Heracross and his rock moves. Drapion is the only none bug, so use fighting types for him.

I forget the other 3 because...well....Aaron took forever to get passed. :P

Also stock up on EVERY revive and Full Restore you can find.

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:07 AM

Oh I usally knock out Aron easily it'd just by the lime I get to lucion i'm preety wiped even with the full restores and revives

Psyburn April 24th, 2009 6:09 AM

Lucian is a bastard yes..

Bronzong pretty much nerfs any chance of Dark types being abused.

The one thing I hate about the E4 (well..every trainer in general) has a move that your type is weak against....ALL THE TIME! It's cheap.

But yeah, if you got elixers take em and dont hold back.

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:12 AM

Yeah... Do you know a place were you can buy Elixers and crap like that because I run out of PP really quickly with Arons Vespiquien and Lucians Bronzong

Psyburn April 24th, 2009 6:13 AM

Elixers can't be bought. Sux very much.

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:14 AM

Yup I kinda guessed that. But I just need powerful moves with high PP but theres no moves like that...

JP April 24th, 2009 6:17 AM

That's why you should try and conserve them for bigger opponents. Try and use items a Pokemon can hold that boost certain types of moves, like a Plate for example.

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:18 AM

Yeah, I mean I use held items but they don't help a ton.

JP April 24th, 2009 6:22 AM

Bummer. =( That plates are nice usually though, I think they boost up to like 20% no? That should help a lot most of the time.

Other than that, you should try and up their levels to the high 60s/low 70s at least. It would probably help you a whole lot.

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:25 AM

Yeah I try training in Victory road but you run out of trainers and pokemon that will accualy raise your EXP quickly.

Psyburn April 24th, 2009 6:27 AM

Catch a Chansey and hope it has a lucky egg.

It gives Hax exp. :)

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:29 AM

What the heck is a lucky egg!!!!!!????????????????

Psyburn April 24th, 2009 6:31 AM

Its an item that gives hax exp.

Some Chansey have them held.

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:34 AM

okay ill go and try to catch a Yanma, wich has compound eyes abilty, teach it theif and steal lucky eggs from wild chanseys MU HA HA HA HA

BTW: Coumpound eyes makes it so pokemon with items are attracted to you!

Psyburn April 24th, 2009 6:47 AM

Hmm...I never thought of that.

Good luck marsh hunting :P

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:48 AM

I HATE MARSH HUNTING ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!

I said that before I think...

Shoot thats the 7th Yanma that fled grrrrr.

ckn April 24th, 2009 6:49 AM

thats a pretty good strategy and you'll need it because that lucky egg is hard to find, chansey in general are hard to find but good luck to you and if you do get a couple of lucky eggs can you share :3

.Razr April 24th, 2009 6:51 AM

Yeah depends I guess but still I need to catch a freaking Yanma but, apparently they hate me and they keep running away and that makes me sad :(

ckn April 24th, 2009 6:54 AM

lol marsh hunting is the worst!!! if there was one thing they coulda fixed in platinum it should've been that

Psyburn April 24th, 2009 6:56 AM

I would just find a pkmn that has theif or frisk.

That way I wouldn't waste balls.

Oh and everything in Platinum is 100% more tedious than previous titles in the series :P

Some guy on youtube pointed out how ridiculous it was to get some of these pkmn.

.Razr April 24th, 2009 7:09 AM

SWEET BABY JESUS YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!! I caught a Yanma Whooo Hoooooo!
