3rd Gen Training in FireRed

[solopy567]

I'm having trouble beating the league, they kick my butt because my pokes are really really really weak.

I need to know the best place to train, and if you say use the vs. seeker, please tell me where is the best place to use it to get the most possible exp out of it.

My team (My game is in spanish so i cant translate the natures and some attacks):

Charizard lvl 55
Moves:
Fly
Dragon Claw
Flamethrower
Fire Blast

Raichu lvl 50
Moves:
Thunderbolt
Thunder
Rain Dance
Rock Smash

Vaporeaon lvl 45
Moves:
Surf
Aurora Beam
Hydro Pulse
Quick Attack

Onix lvl 48
Moves:
Iron Tail
Earthquake
Strength
Dig

Hypno lvl 35
Moves:
Confusion
Psychic
Flash
Slam

Last poke i dont know what to pick.

Yes i know i have a very bad team with very bad moves, but after i finish the league im going to catch Suicune and Restart, because all im doing is collecting all the Legendary dogs.

Thanks for any help

Train on the Victory road PKMN. The PC is right there so you can heal up and continue to train for awhile.

If you're serious about your team, then here's my advice. Scrap the Onix. It's only useful for getting a Steelix. Left unevolved it has surprisingly rubbish stats. If you only have it for it's Rock/Ground abilities, get a Rhyhorn and an eventual Rhydon.. ;D
Your only other real problem is your Hypno, which I approve of, but it needs to be at a way higher level to be a real help at the E4.

Also, I see you don't have an HM slave. Get one. I recommend Krabby. A powerful Pokemon like Raichu shouldn't have to waste it's usefulness with Rock Smash, neither should Hypno with Flash. On that note, why does Raichu know Rain Dance? =/ Replace it and Rock Smash with Shock Wave and a powerful Normal attack like Headbutt or preferably Body Slam. <3
Back to Hypo: Slam is a good attack, but it is unreliably inaccurate and WILL let you down when you need it.. Replace it and Flash with Toxic and a good Ghost attack. I can't think of any atm, so I leave that to you. =)

And finally, I make it somewhat of a point for myself to make my whole team at least lv.50 when I want to take any Elite 4 on, and it really helps. You should maybe do the same. Anything at lv.45 or under won't fare well.. )=

Like Testrum said, Victory Road is your best shot, though I prefer the three islands. ;P
I hope that helps!!

There should be an old man that restores the Pokemon's old attacks.

Gah! I was an expert at the Fire red and Leaf green. LOL... now I forgot x_x

 

[Ayano Katagiri]

For the training, may I also suggest the VS. Seeker?? There should be some trainers of higher levels around before fighting the E4 that should give you a decent amount of training in rebattle.

That man is in Fuschia City, but does not reteach TM moves. Only the moves that the Pokemon would have learnt by levelling up.

Oh yeah.... I remember now... Too bad...

but I think you can buy Toxic or Shockwave at the game corner.

But which trainers should i use? I cant use vs. seeker in the victory road so what am i suppose to do?

The trainers on the first three Sevault Islands are a good alternative. ;)

Hmm, that is a bummer.. Alright, teach Hypo Hypnosis and Dream Eater. As for Raichu, maybe a nice impedimenting move like Thunder Wave.

 

[legendtaker]

i find the best place to train for me is in the route right of fusicha. use the vs seeker to challenge all trainers in route. by the time i'd fininshed training all the people in that route had lvl 50's!! and make sure you go up to the maze bit but you can leave out the bikers there if you like.

 

[solopy567]

To teach Raichu Thunder Wave i need to use the Move Reteacher, but i have no mushrooms to give him!
Also, Hypno doesn't learn Dream Eater naturally, only Nightmare...However Haunter learns both attacks naturally, but i cant evolve him yet because i need to beat the league.


Can't believe so many problem come up because of this

isn't there a move tutor on Viridian City that teaches Dream Eater? i believe in the SouthWest area, he teaches Dream Eater.

Simply catch a Paras or two. =/

That's what I was referring to. You have to Surf over a little bit to get to him. ;D

Scrap the Onix dude, I mean, really. Onix? It's basically the universal fodder rock type.

I always reccomend Gengar, ALWAYS. It is fast, has great resistences, and is easy to teach, learns a wide variety of moves, and can also take a hit surprisingly well.

I'd also get a Dragonite (game corner Dratini FTW!) It does great against Lance with Ice Beam/Outrage and also is helpful against Gary, Loreli (thunderbolt) Bruno (Aerial Ace or EQ)

Hypno is meh, so make it a supporter overall. It isn't really offensive.


That's my two cents.

 

[solopy567]

Getting Gengar however is impossible right now because i need to finish the elite 4 to get to trade with R/S/E and obviously thats my problem.

Haunter is pretty good himself.

 

[solopy567]

Alright....Thanks for your help everybody!

Try looking for a replacement for onix and upgrade hypno. I recommend Alakazam for a psychic pokemon. this is kinda off-topic but after you beat E4 train at Ilse 7 . Use Vs seeker, that's where i trained mypokemon to lv. 100=)
