4th Gen How do you guys level up your low level pokemon?

[thieadin]

Any tips here, cause i have a couple level 50's and i wanna run through the elite 4 with my dragon team. So far the team is level 23 glaceon, 49 torterra, 16 dratini, 1 bagon, 50 crobat, and 49 tentacruel. Thinking of getting a random level 100 from gts and running through elite 4.

I usually use the Elite Four xD I'll equip the Exp. Share to my low level Pokemon and run through the Elite Four. Usually a newly hatched Pokemon will be around level 30-35 once I'm finished.

At first I used Exp. Share. After I got a Linoone to level 60, I basically use Rare Candies, and then deposit the pokemon in the PC, which automatically adds all EVs to the Pokemon's stats.
Once the Pokemon's at about level 65+ (or 40ish, if I'm not in a Rare Candy mood), I just kill the Elite Four. At Level 90, I use the EV removing berries on all stats, and EV train it.

I leave it in the daycare til lv.30-40
Then from there i use the Victory Road til its about 45
Then i'll just give it exp. share and let it participate in elite four battles to give it extra exp.
Once it hits 50-55 it can handle itself.

Elite Four, Turnback Cave, ,Route 225-229, Stark Mountain w/ Exp. Share.

lolwut?

 

[Last Raven]

Dude.
That's a really big pear.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Well, if you use Rare Candies, a Pokemon doesn't gain the EVs from the levels it gained from the Rare Candies. But when depositing in the PC, the PC doesn't store the ACTUAL stats, but merely the IVs and EVs. When withdrawn, the stats are recalculated from the IVs and EVs, and thus, it's EV-loss from rarecandying is gone.

Umm

Rare Candies don't give any EVs or take them away. Now they are smart to use upon completion of EV training.

...that pear is just disturbing.
Yea i used to use rare candies after EV training a lot...but it's more fun to battle with em, even if it takes much longer.

In what ways is he disturbing. Its just a laughing pear with green angel's wings.

and maybe it's just me...but I'm not used to seeing flying fruit with a mouth and surrounded by an angelic aura.
but let's stay on topic here lol
Rare candies kinda ruin the fun of training.

Yeah, they do, but I need to balance Pokemon with school. And sometimes, I just need to do homework and simply rare candy a few pokemon to save time.

And sometimes I'm just lazy.

I'll probably be like that soon.
I've got to run and work out every day, I'll have driving school, normal school, and probably a job too.

Bring on the rare candies! lol

 

[EmeraldSky]

Same way I always have--bait and switch until the Pokemon in question is powerful enough to fend for itself.

 

[DragonLordAL]

if its ev trained i battle pokemon 5 lvs higher than it
if its weak with no attacks(aka magikarp, beldum, etc) I use daycare

 

[Shuriken236]

If I didn't have exp. share I would just do this. Use my weak pokemon first in the battle against the an elite four then switch to a stronger pokemon and defeat the pokemon and the low level on will get some exp.

 

[Flan]

I just have it hold an EXP Share, run it through the E4 a bunch of times, and then once it can handle the E4 itself I give it a Lucky Egg and watch its experience grow. :p
Of course, I finish EV training it before I start doing all of this.

 

[Daboys121]

I level up my pokemon through defeating other pokemon and gain exp. points.

But seriously, go through the Elite 4 using an exp. share.

 

[Camisado]

I generally use the Exp. Share, or I withdraw a similarly-levelled team from the PC and play through the entire game again xD as in, follow the exact path I did from the beginning, minus the gym leaders. The Vs. Seeker is pretty useful for this.
