Rare candies, or fight the elite four a bunch of times using exp share.

Exp.Share appears in this game? Really?

[Monty]

:/ Wow if you made it to Red before discovering EXP Share then something is wrong. And do not listen to the guy who says use Rare Candies. Rare Candies may raise levels but it reduces all battle stat EVs to one. Let's review. If you level up a pokemon. Say it's atk stat raises by 2 per 3 levels. That's 6 EVs. If you feed it 3 Rare Candies for the same levels. It only get 3. Do you want that?

I recommend pushing your pokemon between lv 70 and 75 with pokemon that are Hail/Ice Resistant. Your biggest trouble will come from....more than likely.....Charizard since it know Flare Blitz and Air Slash. It normally lies outside of the supereffective radar so make sure you have a non-rock type with a Rock type move. Another annoyance maybe Blastoise whom knows moves of all all different types but they are all special move so bring someone who is a magic shield powerhouse.

If your guys are super underleveled.....I suppose the best thing to do is use a Pokemon with Trick Room and use your Choice Scarf. That and invest in X Speed, X Defend, and X Spec. Def.

Wow thanks and where i get exp.share?

[Monty]

Um I think you have a Red Dragon Scale rather you decided to capture Shiny Gyrados or not? Go to Mr. Pokemon who is located in a house on the route above Cherrygrove I believe. Once there I think he'll trade you for the EXP Share.

whoa thanks right now i got it

[Monty]

No problem. That guy's tough. So good luck

[M1gu3ru]

I'll have to train hard my strongest pokemon is lv.70 lugia i just caught him and going to catch zapdos so its gonna be a long way

[Monty]

lol with Lugia's high special resistence you could teach it some decent moves.

[M1gu3ru]

yeah I know but I wont train him until ho-oh reaches his level

[Monty]

Wow you don't need to train them as precautions. Just train your main team. Even my team has flaws. I'm EX User so my team doesn't use common-supereffective moves. They're just all hard hitters and at lv 75 they should be.

[M1gu3ru]

I know but I like to have my pokemon on the same levels almost all of them XD

[Monty]

:/ Why are you feeding him exact mons to use.

Your stategy is a direct counter strategy for his pokemon. It doesn't mean it's the best....
Okay just for the levity of the situation

I used. Espeon, Umbreon, Typhlosion, Lapras, Absol, and Lucario.
Typhlosion headlined my group with Choice Scarf and allowing it to over come his Pikachu's Speed with Earthquake
-- finished it off.
Switched out to Lucario when it choice to use Lapras. A Close Combat was able to take it out before it could pull off a Psychic which Lapras knows in this battle.
--finished it off
Switched back Typlosion to counter his Charizard with a Choice Scarf Rock Silde. It survived but was finished off by the subsequent hail.
For some reason he switched to Snorlax and I went back to Lucario. And another and a Close Combat and Aura Sphere took it out since all of it's move are generally ineffective against Lucario.
---finished it off
He switched to Blastoise and I countered with Espeon's high special resistance and Trick Room and then switch to Umbreon's super resistances and just Shadow Ball'd Blastoise out lasting it in pure stamina. The hail finished it.
And all he had left was his lone Venasaur...just a blast of Psychic from Espeon who is naturally faster.

In any case as long as he knows what he's up against he can figure it out
