Level 44 Giga Drain... yeah it takes a while.
-
That depends on what you use it against and how it is used. Generally, Leech Seed is better, especially competitively. It works wonders against high HP targets like Blissey or Snorlax very well, and is a staple for most if not all defensive Grass Pokemon. Mega Drain should be replaced with Giga Drain eventually, but the general idea with those moves is to use it against targets that hate it, such as Water/Ground or Rock/Ground Pokemon, for instance. To give you an idea of how I use my Serperior.... Coil Return Leaf Blade Giga Drain Note the KEY difference between in game and competitive battling is that the AI does NOT usually switch Pokemon, so setting up is way too easy. In competitive battling, you will need to plan out well when to set up and how to execute it. Anyways, I Coil up against Ground Pokemon like Krookodile, and when I'm done with around + 4 I use Giga Drain to absorb some nice health and damage Krookodile, possibly OHKOing it. Then afterwards the rest of the other guy's Pokemon will go down with either Leaf Blade or Return. Note that when Serperior's HP is around 1/3 or lower, its Grass moves become stronger thanks to Overgrow, its ability. Usually, this ends up destroying the entire foe's team. Worked like a charm against N, especially as Carracosta was easy set up bait.
-
Well, I didn't mean to make it sound like it was EXCLUSIVELY used in Major battles, but both are used MOSTLY in major battles, but if the occasion calls for it, they are used in regular battles as well. Both of them are quite viable, but I find Coil safer to set up because it raises Serperior's Defence too. Hopefully, this will also help you understand how competitive battling works, which is a different subject altogether, but it will help you get a taste of how it is like.
-
You have a second chance to learn Coil at Level 38... try it out. It might be a new experience for you, but barring random critical hits, it will make Serperior a rather scary figure. Coil is used normally for major battles, like Gym Leaders or E4, for example. Unless you want to stick with all Grass and Normal moves... which will become tedious quickly. And like I said, replace Tackle with TM27 (Return)... it is a lot more powerful (I am assuming your Serperior is HAPPY WITH YOU).
-
I used to do what you did too when I was little, but I realised how bad that was overall. I used a Level 73 Dugtrio with Cut Dig Earthquake and Fissure (yes, I didn't even teach Rock Slide) against the Elite 4, and I got completely decimated at Lance. In retrospect, I have no idea how I did that... B-b-but, I love my Serperior... it is definitely a more feminine creature than a masculine one, much like Meganium or Gardevoir (yes males do exist!). The thing about Serperior is, you have to take advantage of its higher defences. Serperior can take a few hits, but what it CAN also do is set up Growths, boosting its Attack and Special attack by one stage, which is not bad, considering Serperior is REALLY fast. Also, if you forgot Growth, PLEASE DO NOT SKIP COIL. You probably have by now, but you have another chance at Level 38, so try learning it. Buy TM27 at the Electric Gym City and replace Tackle. All you really need is Leaf Blade, Return, Coil, and another move, maybe Giga Drain or Leech Seed. Coil raises attack, defence, and accuracy by 1 stage. You should learn to use non-attack moves, as they are important with strategies as well, and Serperior seems to be built around taking advantage of that. In fact, it was due to Coil I swept N with Serperior ALONE. Yep, you'd better believe it. I'm still searching for Sigilyphs, and so far no luck. Desert Resort is mostly for 20s and all. As for EXP, yes, some Pokemon will give more EXP than others. A Zebstrika gives a lot more than a Watchog, for example. But if your level is higher than the opponent Pokemon, you will gain less EXP than you are supposed to, but if the Pokemon is higher leveled than yours, you will gain more Experience than usual.

It's fine... in fact I somewhat forgot about Cloyster. I'm well aware of Shell Smash Cloyster... I've been using those myself. It's a monster, and yeah, I guess Empoleon is my only answer to it. Grass Knot will obliterate Cloyster for sure unless it runs Focus Sash. That's not so reassuring though... as Ferrothorn is another adequate answer to Cloyster as well. Ditto is just cheap... it needs to be BANNED. At least I'm running a few tanks, so if I know there is a Ditto, there will be more chance to transform into a wall instead, which isn't too big of a threat.

Avoid every trainer possible? You should not do that... fight every trainer you can. There are grasses near Celestial Tower that aren't dark, but has Zebstrikas which do give some good EXP. And as for Serperior, I picked her because she looked so French and though I hate snakes, I wanted a challenge. Her movepool is literally barren, so I went with her. For you to actually beat stuff up, yeah either the pig or the otter would have done. But congrats on your new Serperior. Mine was overleveled from the rest of my entire party too; she was Lv. 55 or something when everyone was in their mid 40s. As for Desert resort, you mean Sigilyphs? Those are rare, I don't know how you keep encountering them. In fact, I wish I could find them. There are trainers there and a doctor there who will heal your Pokemon every time when you beat him in a battle. Seriously, fight every trainers you can. I had no idea that you avoided them all.
-
I am usually the underleveler. I do not want to overtrain, and I refuse to play a game that REQUIRES a LOT of grinding. To me, I find it better to use lower leveled Pokemon and overcome higher leveled foes, even though I do fight every trainers I can find and try to defeat the wild Pokemon I encounter. I must admit though, I was overleveled by 5-7 levels until I reached the 8th gym, but once I reached the Elite 4, they were much higher leveled than I was. The level curve all of a sudden spikes after defeating the E4, because the trainers you fight will have Lv. 60 + Pokemon, so beware.

<p><p><p><p><p>In-game. Pre-National Dex, meaning stuff like TMs for Earthquake, Energy Ball and Psychic are not available. And I will not count hereditary moves as most people do not breed mid-game just to grind a Lv. 1 Pokemon with a new move. The factors for determining its usefulness is stats, ability, movepool, utility, and availability. Availability is probably the sole reason why I would rate Hydreigon as bad for example; it comes much too late and requires a lot of grinding.</p></p></p></p></p>
<p><p><p><p><p>The rating system from best to worst will be Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor, and Bad (I think I used the word Unsatisfactory, but I have to check).</p></p></p></p></p>

Strange. I had a Serperior right after I defeated Elesa, and I am usually underleveled (a member here UnderXRay overlevels his Pokemon and fought Elesa with Lv. 40s). But that was because I only trained two Pokemon, Tranquill and Servine, at that time. I would suggest that Forest right before Chargestone Cave for your Darumaka, and there is the double battle grass patch near Cold Storage, which can also net you some good experience. Get your Servine up if you can, as Serperior is rather pro, possibly in the grass patch near Celestial Tower. Have you trained in Desert Resort yet? It's a good optional training place that some people tend to miss.

<p><p><p><p><p>I wanted to see if Lampent could learn any other moves before I make the final commitment into becoming a Chandelure. I did have TWO Dusk Stones (one from those shaking dust or something in Chargestone Cave), but I realised Fire Blast was a TM, so whatever. I evolved it after the E4 sadly... and I wanted more moves. Oh well. I have to tell you that Litwick is TROUBLE. It was a pain to train that guy and it just kept getting KOd so easily. I guess Chandelure is when all that effort finally pays off... especially with that beast Special Attack power of 145. My Chandelure has Energy Ball, Psychic, Shadow Ball and Fire Blast... the former two are both TMs available post E4. Eww.</p></p></p></p></p>

1. The reason why Rare Candy was considered the "worst" form of leveling up is only because you are leveling up a Pokemon without giving them Effort Values. You gain Effort Values through battling different Pokemon (as every Pokemon gives different EVs) or if you use special vitamins such as Protein, Carbos, etc. However, the latter will only work until that specified stat reaches 100 EV value, and will not work afterwards. The max amount of EVs a Pokemon can have is 510, while 255 is the max in each individual stat. 4 EVs = 1 whole extra stat, so keep that in mind. Consult a guide for the EV/IV system, because it is a lot to explain here. If you are playing in game and not playing competitively, do not worry too much about that. Until your Pokemon's EVs are maxed, then remember that if you are Rare Candying, you are effectively selling your soul to the devil. 2. Depends on where you are. In this game, the exp gain is dynamic and depends on the Pokemon level. If the Pokemon is higher leveled than yours, you will gain more EXP than usual when you defeat it, while lower level Pokemon yield lower EXP (hint: use type advantages). There is an office building in 3rd Gym City with trainers with Lv. 20s. The route to the right of the 4th Gym City also has a few trainers. Oh, and Desert Resort, despite being boring and all, can be a good source of grinding. Just don't grind too long unless you absolutely need to. The route to the left of the 4th Gym City has Liepards, which are good source of EXP. I don't really know where you are, so I'd like to know. Also, in Chargestone Cave, Professor Juniper will give you Lucky Egg, which will net you double EXP if you hold it, so that can help. Of course, there's always the classic switch lead weak Pokemon tactic (beware of Pursuiters, however).

<p><p><p><p><p>Ha ha it is not a problem. I should not generalise at all, as that is my fault. Stupid people will always exist in our midst, but we can all learn from our mistakes... hopefully. Yes, I have lost faith in humanity in general, but there are always a few outstanding people. My bias of America comes from somewhere though, but I won't go there for now. It should be noted that many of the people in this boards are most likely American and many of them are good people.</p></p></p></p></p>

<p><p><p><p><p>Well, the central peninsula is certainly modeled after New York (the overworld map I mean) and even looks like there is a Central Park in it, but it is not completely the case. Cultural influences you say? Even in the 1600s, New York was a mixed bag. It is because the Dutch did not care who they had, as long as the person would work for the Dutch East Indian company they were okay to live there. As for the British who wanted land, land and moar land, they came to conquer New Amsterdam, but Peter Stuyvesant, then governor giving the isle to the English without fighting them. The British thought New York was a rather weird place just because of all the mixed ethnics and cultures that they even repudiated the thought of New York being part of the British Empire.
