Are my Pokemon underleveled?

I keep thinking my Pokemon are too weak - I've beaten the Elite Four, but I barely scraped through, and I used well in excess of 20 revives. Here's the team I used for the Elite Four:

Empoleon - Level 60
Giratina - Level 53
Luxray - Level 47
Rapidash - Level 53
Machamp - Level 41
Staraptor - Level 45

I only really used the first two, by the way. :cool:
What do you think? Should I have leveled them up more?

Meh, I'm at the last gym on LeafGreen and I easily took down Moltres and Articuno with a Level 36 Raichu (accidental, had to reset. But Articuno was shiny after I soft resetted so I'm good :))

No problems with Blaine. So I think if you know how to use them, you have the right movesets, it doesn't matter terribly much. If you have the patience to train, go ahead. I don't :p
 
Good gravy what's with the level disparity between your Empoleon and your Machamp? Ovarall, they average to be a decent enough level, but try to close that gap to about 4-5 levels. :P
 
You need to get up Empoleon's speed because there's Heracross and Gallade with fighting moves, ground types with Earthquake, and more. Keep Giratina in your team. It's the only reason I won against
Spoiler:
yesterday. This may take some time, but if you're desperate you should replace Staraptor with Altaria because Altaria covers more resistances. I only sent mine out so I can use revives.

Same here, I used the latter ones for that. If I just had the first two then I couldn't have beaten the Elite Four.

does the guy in the house at the cliff behind the survival area, ever do anything?

and is there a way to duplicate tms without cloning?

1. I don't know what guy you are referring to.
2. No, but obviously, some TMs can be obtained multiple times in the same game, and others infinitely as many times.

Here's a question: If I gave my Togekiss with Serene Grace a King's Rock, would it boost the chance of flinching from Air Slash to over 70%? Air Slash has a 30% chance of making the foe flinch, multiplied by 2 thanks to Serene Grace.

Slightly off-topic, but King's Rock actually has an 11.7% proc chance.

RGS said:
Thanks for the quick answer. I suppose a 60% flinch rate is still good though.

At level 10 and counting, what can my Togekiss train on to increase its speed?

Magikarp, probably.

It depends what you want your build to be and whether you have any of the "Power" items or the Macho Brace. It also matters if you are willing to shell out thousands of P-money to buy stat-enhancing vitamins.
 
I had a question that I've been wondering about for sometime now, and if I could get an answer it would make life a little easier when training Pokemon lol >_<

When EV training a Pokemon, does anyone know the order that the game distributes EV points? For example, say I knocked out a Magikarp to get 1 EV in speed, but my Pokemon was holding a Power Lens so that I could additionally get 4 EVs in SpAtk, which stat gets added up first?

I'm guessing that the first one to be added is what you get from the Pokemon that you knock out and then power items are factored in, (so in the case above, 1 goes to speed then four go to SpAtk) but I just wanted to see if anyone knew for sure :P

They are fine except for Machamp. Realize that the majority of people over train before the league so most of this thread will tell you that all your guys should be level 60. But I like you got through with level 47-50.
 
I always train my pokemon to be no more than 1-2 levels away from each other.

I had to be like level 60 to beat that elite four. It was because of the types I chose, but it's my ultimate team, so I just kept training. And then later I figured out I was using the types wrong anyways >.> I'm such a space cadet sometimes.
 
Evolving Togepi - Urgent!

Hi all,

I know I have made a thread or two in the Trade Center remotely relating to this, but...

I have been trying to get my Togepi's Happiness up to the max (to evolve into Togetic for my chain breeding) for hours. Any tips? Ive tried:

Massages
Contests
Lemonade / Moomoo Milk
Vitamins (Carbos, Zinc, Protein, etc)
Stat reducing berries
Leveling up
Walking with a Soothe Bell

If you have a Togetic, could I please have it? I could trade you an Infernape or maybe (a big maybe) an Eevee?

Well first of all, entering contests and giving it milk and lemonade doesn't actually effect its happiness. What does are:

- Walking 256 steps
- Levelling Up
- Taking part in important battles such as gyms
- Massages
- Happy Berries
- Giving it Vitamins

It goes down if:

- You give it any herbal items
- Trade it
- Let it faint

Togepi starts at happiness value 70 and will evolve once it reaches 220 and levels up. If it holds a Soothe Bell the points it gets get a 50% boost. The amount of points it gets each time you fulfil a requirment depends on how many points it has:

- Walk 256 steps (+1 for all happiness values)
- Give the Pokemon Vitamins (+5 0-99, +3 100-199, +2 200-254)
- Usage in Important Battle (+3 0-99, +2 100-199, +1 200-254)
- Level Up the Pokemon (+5 0-99, +3 100-199, +2 200-254 per level)
- Massage (+2 for all happiness values)
- Berries (+2 for all happiness values)

You will need to count these as you go along. Also if you get the happiness meter from the girl in the Eterna Pokecenter then you can check it; if Togepi has two hearts that grow big then it is ready/nearly ready to evolve.
 
With the soothe bell, just go to a long route and ride your bike untill you've reached 15,000-25,000 steps (and maybe a little leveling). You should have enough happiness to get him to evolve by then.
 
Thanks all, really good tips, just mentioning that if you go to the Fuego Ironworks there is a tile that you can step on, clamp your D-Pad down, and you will walk 13 steps up and down. Leave your DS on charge, and voila!
 
Some trainers are set while others upgrade after a combination of completed events and successive battles. You'll just have to learn who's who. D:

I suggest you use this or this to find rematch trainers. ^_^

The levels usually hit level 60 once you complete the Stark Mountain side quest (battle Heatran). If you don't do this, some don't top level 40.
 
Im wondering

Whats the difference between ligete and hacked pokemon?
