Stuck before the elite four
I haven't actually challenged the elite four yet but it's because I know I couldn't beat them.. I currently only have 5 pokemon, not sure what to use as a 6th and I'm having doubts about an exeggcute that I picked up in ilex forest.
I feel like my team is undertrained although I explored most of the areas available to me. Barely got through the battle with clair between gyarados and kingdra >.< My team: Lvl 40 Feraligator Lvl 36 Flareon Lvl 37 Exeggcute - I'm having second guess's about this guy. I was going to wait until 47 to evolve him so my exeggcutor would have psychic but I dont think I could take leveling him that much more. Is exeggcutor worth it in the end? Lvl 37 Ampharos Lvl 36 Crobat Also, thoughts on a 6'th pokemon if you feel like it haha |
You'd want to repost this in the In-game Team Help section, either as a thread (in which case it's a team rate and you'd need to include movesets) or in the questions thread sticky for more basic stuff. Up to you there!
Note you've got the ability to rebattle people via the phone, and areas easily missable with trainers in them include surfing south of Goldenrod, in Union Cave and west of Cianwood (routes to the Safari Zone). And there'll be trainers to beat up post-Clair as well to reach the E4 (assuming you haven't yet done so - if you have then yeah, that team is a bit below the norm for levelling imo when reaching the E4). As for Exeggcutor, I used him in a grass-monotype run and he was pretty useful in the end. It is a bit tedious to get it evolved after learning Psychic naturally (the hell @ HGSS level-up moveset for Exeggcutor =( ) but on the flip side you can teach it Psychic via TM soon enough post-E4 anyways. A bit hard to use before evolving (Leech Seed is always good for setup though!) and very useful after evolving particularly with Psychic. (I also went with Sunny Day + Solarbeam). But I wouldn't really suggest grining to level 47 to beat the E4 with it; that's overkill. =p Rest of the team Pokemon are fine; just remember to keep the moves varied (so not just 3 water moves on Feraligatr, etc). Ice Fang is useful on that, and you could also use a Heart Scale to get Fire Punch on Ampharos. Anyways going to close; try that section if you want more thoughts as said! Good luck with beating up the E4 too. =p |
