Easy End-Game Grinding For EXP/Money/Vitamins
So, here's an interesting piece of information that I've searched a bit for and haven't found written anywhere.
We all know how Pokegear rematches work - you call a trainer at a certain time of day, and they'll challenge you to a rematch. But! Did you know that, during that time of day, the trainers can be called and fought any number of times?
For example...
For HP Up: Joey and his Raticate give this after they are defeated. He accepts rematches Mondays from 10 am to 8 pm. You can call him any number of times between those times. I did this yesterday and ended up getting over 30 HP Ups. I sold enough to give myself 10 left over for whatever my next effort training project is.
There's one trainer for almost every kind of vitamin (I'm not too sure about Zinc...) throughout the week. Look them up on a Gamefaqs guide or something like it. They each can be rematched many times in a row.
For money: Today (Tuesday) Gentleman Alfred in the Lighthouse does rematches from 10 am to 8 pm. With an Amulet Coin or Luck Incense, and on his last phase (one level 58 Noctowl) he gives 23,200. This can be done over and over, of course, and the cash adds up really quick. I've been working on that today.
For EXP and Effort Values: Any number of trainers have plenty of good Pokemon that give tons of EXP (7,000+ per fight, in many cases.) Along with it, with some research about what the trainers have and when they can be rematched, you can exploit all these battles for EV's.
All of this, of course, applies to gym leader rematches, too. Just call over and over, once after each fight, until their designated time of day ends. Keep in mind that, for example, 12 am to 4 am on Friday counts as Friday Night, even though it's the early morning.
Sorry if this is common knowledge or anything, it's something that I ran across a couple of days ago and figured people would appreciate knowing if they didn't already. Makes the end-game grind up to fighting Red a little easier, plus getting money and vitamins quite easy.
Oh, and uh...
Joey: Monday 10am-8pm, Route 30, HP-Up
Huey: Wednesday 12-4am or 8pm-12am, Lighthouse, Protein
Vance: Wednesday 12-4 am or 8pm-12am, Route 44, Carbos
Parry: Friday 10am-8pm, Route 45, Iron
Erin: Saturday 12-4am or 8pm-12am, Route 46, Calcium
Alfred: Tuesday 10am-8pm, Lighthouse, $23,200/fight
Enjoy!
TL;DR: You can rematch everyone on your phone list that's able to have a rematch as many times as you want during their time of day. This can be used for money, EXP and vitamins!
Edit: Right! I should also mention, that in the case of the EXP count at 7000+, that's with my Pokemon equipped with Lucky Egg.
Edit 2: Remember, in order for them to battle you again, you have to leave the route they're on AND THEN call them. You can't ring them right in front of their face, unfortunately. XD;
