In anticipation for Wednesday’s meet up and a Pokémon Tourney at my house this Sunday, I’ve kicked up my training and I will settle for nothing less than level 100 for all of Team Twilight. Equipped with my lucky egg, and using Jowy’s cartridge, I have perfected my technique for leveling up. First off, Fili (Rotom), The Wave (Spiritomb) and Sheraton (Giratina) are the easiest as after level 60 they were pretty much able to solo their way through most of the elite four. That is the fastest leveling I’ve found with about 5,000 per battle average.
Bith (Dusknoir) does even better against them, but I send him in with Helba (Froslass) equipped with the Exp. Share since she can only attack 8 times before needed rest or a leppa berry. During the second of the four, I switch her to the lead with the Lucky Egg since that one uses Ground types and Helba is super effective against them. This process reduces overall experience gain slightly, since pokémon with Exp. Share don’t get the added bonus of the Lucky Egg. But since Helba can’t sustain several battles consecutively, it’s a fair trade off.
Somewhere between Flint and Cynthia, my pokémon usually die off and I repeat the process. Keeping one in the party allows me to make sure I only spend time on pokémon with the Lucky Egg bonus.
Nameless (Shedinja) is the only one I don’t send at the Elite Four at all. Since the second of the E4 has a Sudowoodo with Sucker Punch, there is no way for him to get by on his own. So it’s the one case where fighting wild pokémon is faster. I stick to the grass North of the Resort Area running from any Scyther I find (they know Night Slash).
It’s important at level 90 to evaluate if you’re pokémon are performing the way you want. If you want to change their EV training, this is the time to do it because once they’re level 100, you’re locked in. So far, the whole team is at 90 except The Wave which is my first level 100 ever!
Here’s to having my first ever “Century”.
