Are These Berries Legit?

Okay well you know those berries mom gives you that weaken 2x Attacks, well I gave a Haban berry (For Super-Effective Dragon Typ Attacks) to my Kingdra to fight Lance. And I'm just wondering. How well do they work. For Example will A Dragon Rush, Draco meteor, etc from one of Lance's Dragonite's OHKO a Lv. 50 non-EV trained Kingdra holding a Haban berry?
 
Hey guys, I need a little help on deciding what I should do with my game


Currently I'm attempting to beat the Elite 4 second time around, and Lance is completely dominiating my pokemon.

My team is

Lv. 53 Ho-oh
Lv. 56 Feraligatr
Lv. 50 Magneton
Lv. 47 Umbreon
Lv. 49 Kadabra
Lv. 50 Snorlax/Hm slave

Obviously my team is very underlevelled compared to the Elite 4, so I've been thinking about starting again and having a core team of 4 pokemon (Typhlosion, Umbreon, Lapras and another??) and the other 2 can be legendaries or HM slaves. Does this seem like a good idea to you?

If not, are there any places I can train to get my pokemon's levels up? Whenever I try to train at the Elite 4 Will kinda completely destroys my team, which leads me to having to have to use loads of revives etc. which I just dont have the money for anymore

So basically, should I restart my team? If not, where can I train?

Also, any suggestions for a in-game team? The only real reason I'm playing anymore is because I'm determined to beat Red. And another thing you should know is that I'm extremely impatient so if I were to restart I'd probably just blast through the game.
 
@daebastile, If you are training Dragons or Ghosts pre Pokemon League go to route 47 and go up the waterfall and you will meet ditto's which are easy to kill and give around 1000 exp (if in non ditto form), also if you have Platinum/DP, send it over there with an exp share and fight the elite four or the gym leader remataches and comrades, your trainee gets 2000 exp per Pokemon
 
Are there any other ways I can train that are a bit easier? I don't want it to be too hard (e.g. Level 60 Pokemon)
 
Alright thank you :D Do you think I should train my Feraligatr to 60 first and then the rest or make all my pokemon equal levels and then cycling inbetween them to get them raised at the same time? What would be quicker?

EDIT : Do you also think my team is advanced enough to go after pokemon like Mewtwo and Lugia (I have heartgold)?
 
Great, thank you so much =] I just wanted to ask 2 more questions..

1. Where is a place I could find pokemon level 55-60?

2. What did you use your masterball on? I used it on Latias so I wanted to know if it was a good use or not?
 
Masterball is just for whatever, preferably a legendary. There's no "wrong" one to catch with it. Although I caught Ho-oh with mine, I associate Masterball as "Mewtwo Ball".

No, there aren't that strong pokemon, sorry. In Mount Silver you can find Steelix (Around Moltres) and Donphan (Everywhere) which are really strong and give you experience. All you need is a Special Attack and they'll go down, luckily.
 
With my previously mentioned team, would a Snorlax be better or a Kadabra? (I can't trade since my wifi doesn't work)
 
OK, i'm having a serious problem with my pokemon levels in SoulSilver.I've literally just entered the team rocket hideout in Mahogany town and my pokemon are at stupdly low levels.
This is my current team

Quilava - lvl 29
Tentacruel - lvl 29
Crobat - lvl 29
Flaffy - lvl 28

Anyone know a good place to train up pokemon on SoulSilver, seeing as there's no way near as many trainers as there was in the fourth gen ...

I tend to surf the waters near the Daycare Centre or near the Safari Zone. They are usually teaming with Pokemon that give a strong amount of Experience Points. I would suggest you get your team to around Level 40 (as that's the Level mine were and they done good in the Rocket Hideout).

Hope this helped. :)
 
Guys, what dates is Diamond Dust known to fall on? I really, really want to battle Red in Diamond Dust, rather than hail....
 
I caught a wild pidgeotto a while back. It was at level 15 and now it is at level 16. I don't know where to train my pokemon. Does anyone know? Thanks.
 
You can train anywhere, really. Where are you in the game?

Also, I'm looking for a Venonat. They are in National Park, right? Maybe I'm just having bad luck...but I can't find one. Do they only appear during the Bug Catching Contest or...?
 
They appear more commonly on Route 43, at night-time. They have an encounter rate of 15% compared to the Bug-Catching Contest's 10%.

However, in the Bug Catching Contest, post-E4 they don't appear on Saturdays
 
I'm about to face the elite 4. Before I do that I want to level my pokemon up.

Edit: Also I went to the ruins of alpha I couldn't find a single fossil. I want to find one and I don't know where. I saw cave there. I'm having trouble to get inside of it. Does anyone else know how to go inside of it. Also so far I caught 5 different unknowns so far. What will happen if you catch them all? Please let me know.

Can't get on the GTS :(

Well I received a Shaymin from someone I talk to online, and I wanted to trade it for a Celibi, my friend gave me a Celibi and i traded it back so i could offer for it in the GTS, when i put it up for offer all was going fine but then when i went later to check the summary, i get a message saying "Communication error has occurred press A to return to the title screen"

Now I'm new to all this online trading stuff but I've seen people asking if Pokémon are hacked or not, if the Pokémon I received was hacked is that most likely the cause of this problem?
