    I need to train my Pokemon for the Elite Four but I've beaten all the trainers in Victory Road and the ones on Islands 1 & 3. I also tried using my Vs. Seeker, but all the Pokemon are at low levels. Any tips on where I could train in the wild? All my pokemon are around level 50.

    That's probably the hardest part of the game. You have to train in victory road, for a LONG time. :(
     
    My pokemon were able to defeat the Elite 4 without training anywhere, so I don't know why yours can't, I mean, I never trained them anywhere...

    Well, all I can suggest is to keep fighting pokemon in Victory Road, or just keep taking them through the Elite 4 as far as you can, even though you might lose against Agtha or something, you'll still be able to level your pokemon up against Lorelei and Bruno.

    For beating the Elite 4, I can suggest you use a the following types of pokemon to make it easier on you.
    Lorelei - Fighting
    Bruno - Fire and Psychic
    Agatha - Psychic and/or Ghost
    Lance - Electric and Dragon/Ice
    Rival - Flying/Psychic, Electric/Grass, Water/Ground, Ghost/Dark, Fighting.
     
    I've tried beating the E4 with Blastoise, Parasect, Moltres, Raichu, Pidgeot, and Dragonair, but I only got as far as Bruno (I kept losing against his Machoke). It's really my fault because I didn't level them up correctly, but I'll probably keep trying against the Elite Four. Thanks for the advice.
     
    My advice is to use the vs seeker at these locations:

    Route 8: the bottom trainer of the four-in-a-row
    Route 12: the trainer couple just north of the intersection to Vermillion city
    Route 13: the trainer to the left of the wooden pathway
    Route 15: the trainer couple on the high path
    Cycling Road: the group of six at the top
    Fuschia City: the trio of bird trainers to the west
    One Island: the trainer couple and the two walking trainers just outside the ember spa

    all these trainers have lvl 45-55 pokemon, and some are double battles, and they helped raised my primary teams, and evolve weaker pokemon to fill the pokedex.

    hope this helps you out, kasumistarmie
     
    Moved to the right forum, since this was more to do with levelling than any moveset advice.
     
    Thanks Murpheos! I'll jot those down and go try them now. If they are between Lv. 45-55, they should be a big help
     
    level 50? @_@; That's high enough for me. Err ... I recommend? a flying type over a psychic for Bruno's el supreme Machamp, even if your team is over the level 50 thing. =P
     
    Also, post your team in GB Strategies & Movesets, along with natures, moves, any TMs & HMs and items and we shall see what can be improved or changed
     
    OK, this was moved to Strategies and Movesets...sorry about that, I'm new and I get confused!

    Ok, here's my team...(they're all at level 50 now)
    Blastoise: Sassy nature: strength (I'm seriously considering deleting this HM move though), protect, water pulse, bite
    Dragonair: Serious nature: ice beam, surf, slam, shock wave
    Pidgeot: Bashful nature: wing attack, fly, toxic, quick attack (should I teach it Aerial Ace?)
    Raichu: Naughty nature: thunder, thunderbolt, slam, brick break
    Parasect: Rash nature: (this is definitely my weakest Pokemon next to Pidgeot) leech life, rock smash, slash, bullet seed
    Moltres: Timid nature: fire spin, overheat, flamethrower, endure

    Please, any tips will be extremely welcome and appreciated.
     
    I usually just train in victory road and get at least 5 or 6 more levels to my pokemon and then am able to win. After that I go to the UD to train.
     
    These are my suggestions
    Blastoise: Surf, Hydro Cannon (Two island move tutor), ice beam (ir you can afford another one), bite/protect
    Dragonair: Serious nature: ice beam, surf, thunderbolt, flamethrower/dragon claw (try to evolve it, greater power and speed)
    Pidgeot: Bashful nature: wing attack, fly, steel wing, aerial ace
    Raichu: Naughty nature: thunder, thunderbolt, brick break, dig/iron tail
    Moltres: Timid nature: fly, overheat, flamethrower, endure

    As for the last one, i'd need to know what version you're playing, and what ypur preferences are. hope this helps
     
    You know, you could post your team on GB Strategies and Movesetsas a seperate thread. ~_~;

    And try another layout:

    [Pokemon]@[Item] and [Nature]
    -[move 1]
    -[move 2]
    -[move 3]
    -[move 4]

    Isn't this the FR/LG forum? @_@;
     
    Asher: sorry I'll try to make it clearer in the future (the layout I mean)

    Murpheos: You are truly very nice. I'm playing LeafGreen, and I just want my Parasect to have effective moves. As for Blastoise, is Hydro Cannon really effective? I've been wary to have Blastoise learn it because it leaves you immobile for the next turn, which is definitely open to weakness.

    Also, where can I find Iron Tail?
     
    Thank you for your praise, kasumistarmie, it is most appreciated.

    As for your questions, Iron Tail can be found in the Celdaon City Game Corner, unfortunately it is very expensive (80000 coins), so maybe it is better to go with dig for raichu (more accurate).
    Hydro Cannon is basically a one-hit wonder, coming from a water pokemon. the chance of missing is 1 in 10, so its basically at matter of odds. Hydro Pump is 1 in 5 chance of missing, and is a little weaker, so its your choice.
    besides, if Hydro Cannon hits and faints the opponent, thenn just switch out, instant recharge for blastoise
