4th Gen Question about leveling up

[FiveOneZero]

Alright, so I'm looking to get into competitive battling.

I've beaten the elite four. I've also started to breed pokemon with good natures and started to ev train.

My line up stands as this(obviously not done):

Arcanine lvl 58 Adamant
Gengar Lvl 62 Timid
Blastoise Lvl 50 Bold
Beldum lvl 8 Adamant

This is all I have so far..

Now my question is this.. how do YOU train them to 100?

Do people seriously just kill ev pokemon till lvl 100?

Or do you perhaps constantly challenge the Elite four after you've done enough ev training?

Seriously, I would like to know how you guys bring your pokemon to lvl 100.

well it took me ages to train some of mine to lvl 100, all i did was challenge the battleground gym leaders, attack EXPSHARE to the pokemon an constantly challenge the eltie four,

normal trainers just arent worth the lousy experience, just use the elite four over and over

After Ev-training I usually challenge the E4 over and over again. Takes very long though, so I have only 3-4 pokemon that are maxed out.

Good luck with that~

Also, if you have JUST beat the elite four, you are nowhere near finished on Pokemon P/D/Pt, Stark Mountain, The Johto Section

You can go to johto in diamond..?

 

[The Doctor]

The very edge of it where the battle frontier, stark mountain and the resort area is.

Its a johto isle i think

The Elite Four helps a lot ~
So does EXP Share, but that's pretty obvious.

Um, do sidequests and stuff. Such as Stark Mountain, like Adam said.
Just train, I guess is the best way to put it, in any way you can. nvn

You do not necessarily need to train your team to level 100 if you are battling over Wifi. You do have to train them if you are battling locally....

A Pokemon can gain a maximum of 510 EVs, so any EVs gained after that limit are disregarded. Thus, some trainers can EV train within a couple of levels, provided that trainers use shortcuts (by using Pokerus, Macho Brace, and Power items to multiply the amount of EVs gained). So, there is honestly no need to keep training after your Pokemon is fully EV trained...

There is no Johto or Johto Isle in DPPt

Please use the Quick Question and Answer Thread for future questions. A simple question such as "Where can I train?" clutters up the main DPPt forum, which is devoted to discussion. Thanks, and happy training.
