5th Gen UGH! Liepard is so hard to train!

[Nateon]

I gave up when it was a purrloin, when i originally saw it in the new generation list i wanted to give it a go, but it just wasn't worth it. People mention having trouble with blitzle, i never had any trouble with it, kept it going and is one of my strongest on my japanese black.

 

[ssrobin]

its was really hard to train accelgor ... really bad defence, but how higher the level how easier it was because high speed and great sp. att.

 

[cest la vie]

Why is everyone hating on Zebstrika? I was able to OHKO all the ice gym (Trainers and leader.) with a Zebstrika that was 8 levels lower then most of the pokemon.

 

[Ashberto7]

I caught Purrlion to start with and by the time i got to the 2nd gym i had lost lodes of times -.-
So I ditched it for a Throh :3

 

[Psyshock]

I tried Purrloin but its offense just didn't get the job done so I replaced it with Blitzle who wasn't much better even after it evolved.

 

[Red from Pallet Town]

In PKM White I have some issues with my Deino (now Zweillous) because of his ability Hustle, which raises attack but lowers accuracy.....but he is still xxx times better than a Crimgan/Druddigon from my japanese PKM Black...seriously, the most weakest dragon type ever....

 

[Destati]

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who had trouble with Purrloin. I thought it looked really cool, and that it'd be neat to have a Dark type early on, but it was really just... useless. ._. And fainted too much. Same with Blitzle.

 

[pkmntrainerpaul]

I'd say Purrloin, Tynamo and Deino were the hardest Pokémon I've trained in Black, because Purrloin has terrible defences, Tynamo has a bad movepool until it evolves, and Deino...

I've still got nightmares from training that level 1 modest Deino to level 100 so I had a nice Hydreigon,but I may not complain either, since I trained him about 50 levels in one day.

 

[Weavile05]

probably Deino. It kept dieing early on, and after it evolved, it dissapointed me in the E4. I mean I know that the Elite 4 were higher levels than me, but IT'S A FREAKING DRAGON FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WITH INSANE SP. ATK AND IT WAS BARELY DOING HALF DAMAGE! And it got KOed by an Oshawott in the Battle Subway.

 

[lionrt60]

Seriously, is everyone having that much trouble with beartic??? Mine is awesome, and my Swoobat, and my Zebstrika too.

Right, I am just in Icirrus City and have got Larvesta (you know, from the fortune hunter on route 18?) and grinding it is hell, but I guess thats what you get when you try to add a level 1 into your level 45 team xD really though not much was hard for me to grind, and im grinding a lot of things these days xD never used to but, hey.

 

[Gothitelle.]

I have a whole new game so I can create a whole new team. Which, I already preplanned that Liepard was going to be on it.

It's not that hard to train per say, it just doesn't have enuff advantages.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Liepard was hard for me until she finally got Sucker Punch and Night Slash. Then she became a lot easier.

Zebstrika was a hard one since its best STAB attack has a nasty recoil effect, and with low defense and HP recoil is something Zebstrika cannot afford. I had to resort to Thunderbolt despite its much lower Special Attack. I mean, really, is Wild Charge the best they could do?

 

[Ryoji]

Patrat lol, I thought it looked cool so I gave it a try, sadly its hard to level because it dies so easily.

 

[Gothitelle.]

^ I find normal types to be useless :[

 

[bwb234]

What i do is duplicate exp. shares on emerald and migrate or trade them into the game i want.

 

[espeon2020]

i don't really understand all of the fuss about Purrloin. I found that if you give it the Scope Lens that you can find early in the game (Castelia City), then it's manageable to train. When it evolved, Liepard (even with just Pursuit or Thief) is much more manageable in my opinion. I've never had any trouble training any pokemon, although Tynamo frustrated me a little.

probably Deino. It kept dieing early on, and after it evolved, it dissapointed me in the E4. I mean I know that the Elite 4 were higher levels than me, but IT'S A FREAKING DRAGON FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WITH INSANE SP. ATK AND IT WAS BARELY DOING HALF DAMAGE! And it got KOed by an Oshawott in the Battle Subway.

Just wondering, was it a Hydreigon or Zweilous? Because until it evolves into Hydreigon, its Atk is higher than S.Atk.

 

[Rai]

My Blitzle has been hard to train because of its low defense. I gave it some Resistance Wings and it really helped. Now it is evolved and can take hits much better.

 

[hyperblast81]

For me it was probably Blitzle and Darumaka. Yet, when I managed to evolve them, they were worth it... Darmanitan is a wrecking machine and Zebstrika is pretty good.

 

[Clairissa]

Deino, hustle has to be one of the worst abilities ever, combined with its mostly physical move-pool and stats until it becomes Hydreigon, it's a pain to level up and evolve if you wanted it to have a sp. attack nature and IVs and EVs.
Worth it once it reaches 64, but until then, just annoying.

Except for you know, items can't be transferred to the 5th gen.
