Ah, you're right. They're only 16, not 48. >.<

You can make them hold a lucky egg instead which is held by wild Chansey. You could also trade them to another game and level them up there. Can't think of anything else, really.

You can trade it to another game and it gains double the amount and make it hold "Lucky Egg"

Hey
How do you find shinys with the pokerader is it a pattern or is it luck, how can you increase your chances of hatching a shiny

It's a pattern, step in grass that shakes the same way as the one you last stepped in, and after you defeat the Pokemon, walk into the patch of grass at least 4 spaces away from your character in one direction.
There are many good chaining videos on Youtube too.
To hatch a shiny, you can get one Pokemon from another country and breed it with your Pokemon from a different country (this country can be your home country)
This improves the chances of hatching a shiny to 1/2000

When can you fight the frontier brains do you need a streak or just a certain amount of wins

Thanks for your help I will try doing that.

Yes, a streak is needed to face the Frontier Brains within their facilities, but I can't remember the number of wins needed for each one. x.x ​

Streak of 21 and 49 consecutive wins for every Brain. The exception is the Battle Hall, which needs 50 and 170 consecutive wins.

Mhhm, thank you very much! :D

I have a question about the move Grass Knot.

Since Grass Knot is a move that works off of how heavy the opponent is then will having a Grass type pokemon learn this move increase its power at all? Also will miracle seed boost Grass Knot's power?

I'm sure that Grass Knot receives STAB as well as Miracle Seed boost. The weight only determines the Base Power of the attack; the boosts will go accordingly.

Yes. GK will recieve STAB and MS will boost its power. ​

Thanks to the both of you!
