Greencat Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Please refrain from telling people "You suck." Provide information on how they can improve their situation. If you have nothing good to say, then don't post. @Happiny28: It depends heavily on your Pokémon's level. It good to have your Pokémon at least 7 levels higher than surrounding trainers and at least 4 levels higher than the upcoming Gym Leader. This fluctuates throughout DPP (sometimes having your Pokémon 10 levels higher), but try to aim for that and you should be good. You can also try making sure you have powerful Pokémon because a Kricketune or Bibarel just won't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously don't see where people get their level 60s from when reaching the E4. He's playing Emerald, so there are no Kricketunes or Bibarels. However, my friend did beat the game with Kricketune as one of his team... but as for Emerald... some stuff just won't do you good like Poochyena. Poochyena is terrible in the beginning AND when he evolves... so don't try him unless you like him or if you want a challenge (I like him and I used him). You can settle for Zigzagoon because he can be useful somehow once he evolves. As for Beautifly and Dustox... consider yourself lucky if you got the former, but not the latter. They're good earlygame, but dwindle later on. Use your starter for the most part... and try to get a Taillow or a Huge Power Marill. Here's a playthrough of Emerald I started but probably won't finish in a while: CLICK ME <--- warning: somewhat vulgar humor on the description. I hate vulgar humor but I was bored while writing the descriptions, heh heh. Try to see what I did and see where you went wrong. It doesn't matter about your starter choice because all three are good unlike GSC and RBY. Note: That is NOT my Youtube account. That is my little brother's... but I uploaded it in his because gaming isn't my main interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illithian Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 10 levels higher in DPP? I was always 1-5 levels underleveled... I seriously don't see where people get their level 60s from when reaching the E4. I just beat the E4 on my Platinum literally like 6 hours ago with a 60 Azelf, 60 Torterra, and 60 Staraptor. Use less pokemon, fight everyone, and you'll be way overleveled with the entire pokedex finished at the end. (I cought Giratina, Azelf, and Uxie at that point) And I used repels from the moment I could buy them. I hate wild pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guested Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Uhhhhhhhh...... if you're left with 1-10HP that means you won, right? How is that "no cigar?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had (I think) 9 usable Pokemon of level 50s during my E4 fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I like a party of 6 as well. It's really not all that hard to go out and train your pokemon to decent levels to match that of the Elite Fours pokemon. Just put a bit more work into it and you'll probably end up enjoying the game for a bit longer cause you're not beating it so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraith89 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Blah, it didn't matter though. I still beat them with underleveled Pokemon anyhow, but I had a hard time choosing who to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of pirates Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 like,if you get mightiena or whatever its called it is kinda good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraith89 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Mightyena? That's Okami's favorite Pokemon, I think. Unfortunately, I WISH he was good, but he really isn't. Limited movepool and lack of physical STAB (dark type moves were special not physical, which was retarded considering moves like BITE or FAINT ATTACK definitely sounded physical) and really low stats didn't work so well. However, he could work in-game (I beat a member of the league with him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are way too many good Pokémon just have a party of six. I'm having this problem right now in Platinum. Can't choose. : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
