  • Hello All,

    I know this was done frequently in R/S/E days but wondered weather anyone has a strategy etc for finishing all the gyms and E4 using a single starter. What moves etc? Just looking for a quick easy way to get extra TM'S etc

    Thanks

    - Gaspar

    For RSE I used swampert. Still, you need a pretty strong team to support yourself unless your pokemon is in the 70's.

  • I've beaten the E4 by getting all 3 starters off the GTS, training them, then battling the e4 with all the Revives that I can afford in my bag! :D

    None of you answered his question. You kinda went off topic.

    I would say use Infernape

    Flamethrower for the first E4 leader
    Earthquake for the second E4 leader
    Close combat for a high damage attack
    And grass knot for beating Milotic and Gastrodon

    The only pokemon you might have trouble with is garchomp and milotic if you dont one hit it
    Also if the second leader gets a Earth quake on you

  • If you just want to beat the E4, put up a Pokemon (either Gible, Feebas, something moderate) on the GTS and request a level 100 Dialga. I got a legit one and blazed through the E4 with that alone. It's Draco Meteor eliminated that Bronzong in one hit.

  • Infernape
    Flamethrower/Flare Blitz
    Close Combat(for me, K.O.)
    Earthquake(dominates 1st E4)
    And I have HM's for my last move, Rock Climb

    Ive done it

    Just train Chimchar to lvl 14 and evolve before the first gym
    And if you can get Earthquake and Grassknot early Infernape has a move that is super effect to all gyms except the 5th gym


    And keep using one pokemon and try to battle all the trainers
    you should be lvl 70ish by the time you reach elite four
