PART 2: ua-cam.com/video/z8WQnKnM13E/v-deo.html *This video is WITHOUT using glitches, so no cloning rare candies! Watch this for the ABSOLUTE fastest way: ua-cam.com/video/8FIUp_lJPnE/v-deo.html -sending money to your pc isn't a thing in Emerald, oops!
At this point cloning for rare candies isn’t bad, this process takes awhile to do anyways. If it’s apart of the game then you should use it to your advantage.
This is my strategy, including something this video didn't mention: Zigzagoon and Linoone have the ability Pickup. Starting at level 41, there is a 10 percent chance of picking up a rare candy. Linoone captured on routes 119 and 120 are between levels 22-25. You can either catch 5 and level all of them up, or catch 1, level it up, and then clone it four times. For Pickup to trigger, you need to catch or defeat the opponent Pokemon in a trainer or random battle.
Yes! I forgot about that! Leveling up your pokemon with one of the methods from the video while having 5 zigzagoons with pickup would be pushing it to the limit for sure!:)
@@MankeyMite I think, if you want to get to lvl 100, this is by far the fastest way to do it. Just grind against random low level wilds with a high pp pokemon, and check every after every x battles. The interesting thing would be to find the optimal number of battles x after which you check for picked up items. Once your pokemon reaches a certain level, it may even be better to just deposit it (in the daycare), and start defeating low lvl stuff with a 6th linoone.
@@tiemen9095 I tried it, but you get rare candies way too rare for it to be viable, 10% chance for item after battle and 10% for rare candies, and you waste some seconds checking items too, but for high levels you get more value from it:)
@@MankeyMite I still think it is the most efficient at high levels. Another efficient way (also to EV train btw): go to desert underpass. Bring a high lvl pokemon like Rayquaza and look for ditto. Switch to the Rayquaza and OHKO it with dragon claw or so. You get the xp and EV as though you just defeated rayquaza. Many other pokemon can be used. Also, for any wild encounter strat: place a fainted pokemon with the ability Hustle, Pressure or Vital Spirit in the lead of your party to get a 50% chance for the wild encounter to be at its max possible lvl for that area.
The Blissey / Chansey trick reminds me so much of my time with Omega Ruby, when you could find secret bases online and there was one I'm pretty sure on a Mirage island w a full team of blisseys to fight. A strange bit of nostalgia but something I remember fondly from the game.
The most surprising part of this for me is how effective the daycare is. I thought it would be blown out of the water by pretty much any other strategy.
@@skult227 It's about the lowest grade of cheating since you can't tell if someone did that or not without actually looking at their screen. Since it's also occurring within the game, It can be count as legitimate but it can desync the in game clock.
When you take into account that emulators can simulate up to 5 times faster, the day care is the best option and available earliest in the game, too. Plus you don't have to risk getting your Pokémon killed if you're Nuzlocking.
I used to go in and out of victory road over and over fighting Wally as a kid (his battle will eventually respawn after going in and out enough, it's rng but every time gives a chance so it's quick)
I remember there being a great trick in Ruby/Sapphire (not Emerald unfortunately) that allowed you to afk grind using the Day Care and the Acro Bike with a mudslide. Basically you'd deposit a pair of any Pokémon, go to a mudslide with the Acro Bike and then just hold the up button. In RS when you attempt to go up a mudslide it will count as a step, even if you don't actually go up it (I believe this was fixed in Emerald). You can use any method of movement (Acro Bike, Mach Bike, or feet) but the Acro Bike is the fastest and most efficient way to grind. You'll have to use something to hold the up button, such as a weight or tape, but if you're able to get it to go up on its own then your golden. I actually used this trick a lot to complete my Sapphire's National Dex
1 thing with Gabby and Ty, is that they become static after you beat them enough times. Once that happens, you just need to move to the next route and come back to fight again. Admittedly, you do have to fight them 255 times before they do that.
I actually used them alot as a kid, and was confused when they suddenly werent east of Fortree city. I looked there, and route 118 and then found the STILL near the desert, where they stayed. Pretty interesting
I had one of the worst strategies as a kid: I found out the breeder between the daycare and Verdenturf almost ALWAYS rebattles you once you move out of the area and run back, and with a full scaling team of 6 i grinded out the last 30 levels on my Rayquaza as well as the last 40ish on my Sceptile
@@MankeyMite I’ll be honest idk how younger me stayed with it, I don’t have the patience for EV training let along grinding off level 30 something mon’s for 2 weeks straight
Another good way to level up in this game is to rematch all the trainers near Mauville City and Route 117. Cycle back and forth a lot of times between Mauville City and Verdanturf Town (just like he does 0:50). Eventually, most of the trainers in the area will battle you again. Once you defeat all of them, start cycling again. They will be ready to battle you yet again. Their pokemon also level up each time until they peak. This is the best way to level up in this game until you can sweep Elite Four easily with Exp Share.
One leveling strat I always read about was putting a Pokemon in the Daycare, then biking to the Desert and getting yourself stuck on one of those sand slides that you need the Mach Bike to cross. If you tape down the D-pad, you can continuously get steps counted while you do something else, provided you don't let your GBA run out of battery. Never tried it, because I hate the idea of leaving a console on overnight, but I imagine it would be smooth sailing on a sped-up emulator.
My fast leveling was route 117 (that area where the daycare was), with a VS Seeker. Every time I used the seeker, at least three would want to battle again, including the double battle twins.
You're remembering wrong, as RSE doesnt have a VS seeker. They do however want to rebattle after a certain amount of steps is taken in area or nearby areas.
There's actually a small exploit using the acro bike and the mud slabs at the top of route 111. You can leave a poke.on in the daycare then go to the top most mud slab and just hold up on the d-pad. Each movement counts as a step.
The fastest method is rebattling the trainers on the route of the daycare. I usually spend around 2-4 hours to level 100 there depending on the pokemon. Its roughly 6k exp per breeder battle, 3000 per double battle, and 1200 per sports guy... Thats around 17000 exp every run, which costs you around 3 minutes every time + 2 minutes of recharging the battles by walking back and forth between city and route on a bike. Since these trainers all stay on a pretty low level, you can start training your pokemon without an exp share pretty quickly to get the full exp.
I highly underestimated this place.. Even as a kid I trained here all the time, especially since it was so easy to level up when at a low level. I tested this place a few times for like 10 minute runs, it was surprisingly good, giving me around 2.6-2.8k/m, but I just found another strat that gets around 4k per minute, working on a part 2 now:3
True bro, I was grinding here to get a lot of pokemon to 100 lv. It's also close to daycare, where I can get eggs or AFK get some exp to 2 pokemon :) Glad I'm not the only one who figured out this place
Thanks man my swablu was level 20 and When I do the daycare trick you showed in this video my swablu is level 28 my swablu can be a altaria in no time!!
I found my dad's old gameboy with Pokemon emerald and some other mario games. And he was lvl 95 and im trying to get him to lvl 100 and this video was so helpful thank you!
Lately I've been wanting to try out the Battle Frontier, since I never did more than the Battle Factory's silver medal, and this is gonna be some really helpful information lmao, thank you so much
I don't speak English and I'm using google translate, but even so, this video is probably the one that has helped me the most, thank you very much friend!
When I was a kid I'd put Pokémon in the daycare and walk up a muddy slope, it pushes you back down and counts as a step. So Id press down on the up button with something and leave it over night
There is a method with Ditto'd Blissey you can use too. The ditto method is also the best method for EV training too in Emerald, so you can gain a ton of EXP while getting EVs up with high exp yield pokemon like Kyogre who also give 3 base EVs for Special Attack for instance. However for raw EXP, you want to use a Blissey. You train it offensively, and teach it Brick Break, should be a +Atk nature as well to guarantee the 1HKO on the level 45 ditto even if it has max defense IVs and a favorable +Def nature Desert Underpass has the Dittos. Here is the showdown formatted Blissey setup: Choice Band to increase attack, Attack and Speed EVs to guarantee going first no matter what and having extra power, Brick Break to 1HKO the Ditto, and Teleport to return to pokemon center. The HP Fighting is optional. Blissey (F) @ Choice Band Ability: Natural Cure EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Hidden Power [Fighting] - Brick Break - Teleport Hidden Power Fighting is optional(since it requires exact IVs), but prolongs your stay in the cave. Although 24 uses of brick break assuming PP max is used is still pretty decent. (15 PP is still alright) Steps: Optional: Use White Flute to increase encounter rate to 1.5x 1. Have the Pokemon you want to train 2nd lead of your party, have a fainted Pokemon with Illuminate at the lead 2. Turn 1 switch to your level 100 Blissey, which Ditto will Transform into 3. Click Brick Break 4. Repeat until all PP is exhausted. This will yield around ~1k EXP per battle. 5. Use Teleport on Blissey(or another pokemon like Abra in your party) to go back to the Pokemon Center 6. Use the PC box (do not heal at the counter!) 7. Deposit your Blissey into your PC and then Withdraw it. This will 100% heal it and restore its PP 8. Return to Desert Underpass and start from step 1 I believe this will be less painful than the Elite 4 Method as it does not require intentional wiping which relies on AI Trainer RNG.
@@DkKobaADV Hey this is great! Thanks for the detailed comment! I would have reccommended this, but getting a Blissey would require a second game to trade with from FR/LG, glitch or cheats to get, and I only show spots that you can do without any of that! But for those who have that option or want to glitch their game to get a blissey, that would for sure be a good alternative to the league!
@@MankeyMite something with a high base exp yield would likely work as well such as metagross or salamence. Equake and dragon claw as primary moves for both respectively
The fastest and EASIEST way by far is to use the day care and use the mach bike, but if you go the desert, there's a mud hill that when attempting to go up, will instantly move you back down. If you use a Gameboy SP, (like the one I had when I was 12 years old), find an object that can keep the button pressed down, then close the SP. Then simply plug it in, so the battery doesn't run out, then leave it. After waking up the next day, the pokemon in the day care will be at level 100.
I usually fight the news crew a bunch of times, give the Pokemon you want to level up the exp share and give the other Pokemon the amulet coin to make a bunch of money
My level up strategy as a kid back in the day was using the Battle Tower pokemon duplication glitch. Sure I ended up with bunch of copy pokemon, but it was the fastest way to grind up rare candies,
Maybe you know this now, but you can clone items without cloning pokemon if you didnt want the repeat pokemon. You just have pokemon in the PC hold items, and just put the items in your bag instead of withdrawing the entire pokemon.
1 extra tip is that zigzagoon (or any other pokemon with the ability pickup like phanpy, meowth,aipom.teddiursa and linoone) has a 10% chance of "picking up" an item after a battle as long as it is in your party(dont even need to actually use it in battle). in ruby and sapphire they always have a 10% chance when picking up an item for that item to be a rare candy. in emerald it is a bit harder as they will need to be level 21 for you to have a 4% chance for the picked up item to be a rare candy luckily it is easy to get a pickup pokemon of that level since most can be found in the wild that high (zigzagoon and linoone on route 118 and 119. phanpy in the safari zone(need acro bike). teddiursa and aipom in the pokemon emerald safari zone extension in their 30s(!). and meowth who you can get by trading a skitty at the battle frontier, he gets pay day too). and in emerald only the chance of picking up rare candies becomes 10% at level 41 and the chances and ability to get other useful items also goes up the higher level the pick up pokemon (go to bulbapedia for a full list) so next time you are trying to grind up a pokemon consider putting some pokemon with pickup in the back of your party for extra rare candies and other items you might be able to use or sell for money, you can have up to 4 if you are grinding with the exp share and up to 5 if you are grinding the pokemon by letting it fight themself or using a pickup pokemon to ko the enemies (high level meowth with pay day wink wink)
Man just wrote a bible!😍You're right, that would be some next level strategy! Or if we reeeally want to level up fast, we always have the cloning glitch for unlimited rare candies ;)
not just rare candy, but nuggets as well if you’re ever worried about money. I played sapphire for about 4 hours yesterday mostly messing around but also with 5 zigzagoons in my party and i ended up with 10 rare candy, 10 nuggets, a good number of potions, ultra balls, revives, as well as a shiny electrike
MankeyMite thanks boss, i just picked up pokémon for the first time in a decade or so and it has been a good time, your videos have been very helpful too:)
Funnily enough I had battled the interviewer pair so much that for some reason they never moved from the area near the desert ever again so it was easy just to cycle between routes to reset the battle and just keep doing it over and over.
The ride a bike up a slippery slope and slide down trick works. Force the up button down with coins and go to bed for the night. Boom level 75 pokemon (Be sure the pokemon is in the daycare)
When I was leveling in emerald I would use a lucky egg and do the interviewer battle. I didn’t use explosion but I used a move that hit both opponents to take them out in one hit. That worked really well too.
@@Commander.Erwin_Smith. Yes, they cycle between route 111, route 118, and route 120. If you battle them like 500 times, they eventually stop at route 111 and never move again. (fun easter egg)
Another interviewer option is using lv 100 Rayquaza with surf while giving the exp to whoever you are raising. You wont have to go to pkm centre every time
When I was a kid I put them in daycare as you said, but I went to the dessert spot with my bike. The spot in the dessert where you couldn't go up with the normal bike. I put a book on my Gameboy up controls which kept me going up and glitches me back to the spot. I let this happen over a day and my Pokémon went up to level 100 the next day. Basically AFK leveling. The only downside to this is that daycare will randomly choose the attacks for the Pokemon
Sure! So exp is only given to participating pokemon in a battle or pokemon holding exp. share, and if multiple Pokemon participate, the total exp will be shared/split between them. So by swapping out Swablu and killing all other pokemon including your own, swablu gets all the exp alone:)
There's a "flaw" in Ruby that they fixed in Emerald Where you can collect ashes for flutes Having a Pokémon with "pick-up" will get way more rare candies
When I was young, I played Pokémon Rubis / Sapphire. Not Emerald, and the way I XPed my Girafarig and Rayquaza to the Lvl 100 was to battle a lot of Pokémon (Victory road for exemple) and have 5 Zigzagoon/Linoone with pick up. In RS, the odds to have a rare candy was 10% every time, in Emerald, it's 10% only from the lvl 41 and more (5% lvl 31-40, 3% lvl 21-30 and nothing before) It's 10% each battle to pick up a new item, and 10% the Rare candy. So it's 1% each linoone to have the item at the end of the battle. If there are 5 linoone, it's ~ 4,90% to have the candy, so every ~20 battles you have can have a new LVL ! It could save a lot of fights and you just have to wait the moment when you can finish the XP of your Pokémon with all this Candys !
Liked and subbed. I got a ruby cartridge off a pal a bit ago and this video was fast. To the point. Informative and had a lighthearted joke or 2 thrown in AT THE END. Great vid keep it up man.
As a kid I naturally went to the trainers next to the daycare but never considered the day care. On the daycare route there are a lot of trainers with similar level to the interviewers.
I played my Sapphire game a lot as a kid and battled the interviewers to level up. One day, either my game glitched or I reached the end code of them transferring locations because they just stopped moving locations. They would just stay on Route 110, and I'd just have to go to Route 112 and back down to refresh the battle. It's how I got a level 100 Whiscash with Magnitude (since I didn't know Earthquake was better as a kid) and a Level 100 Flygon with Levitate. Then I kept battling them to train up flying types or Pokemon that could learn Surf
@@MankeyMite just watched it :) haha just commented a bit too early. Good job in testing btw! I also remember battling the trainers on Route 117 to grind too, like on your Part 2
I would use the daycare trick where I use a bike to try to go up the sandy ramp and slide back down. Level up some Pokemon while I slept and leave the DS charging all night.
Hey on the Victory Road method. How much You gain if You put the swablu first on the fight and then You exchange it for the metagross to end and win the battle
@@CesarAugustoRocabadoVillegas if you mean if Metagross uses explosion? Then swablu will earn all the exp for that battle, but not very efficient as you must heal the metagross to use it again.
@@MankeyMite no. If swablu (with the share exp item) gets first into battle and then You change him for metagross. I done that and it seems that it gets half more exp that usually metagross gets.
@@CesarAugustoRocabadoVillegas right, you get more exp if the exp share holder is sent into battle, but then you need a few extra seconds to swap, reducing the exp over time. Not sure if it's worth it.
The way you do the reporters is awful, this can EASILY be maximized by using a strong AoE pokemon with surf/earthquake,etc. give the other pokemon exp share/lucky egg. Nearly all pokemon can learn protect which can be purchased at lilycove. Put both moves in slot one and just spam through. You can get at least 10 runs in before you need to refresh, or 24 runs if you max out a move like surf. This gives most of the xp to the secondary, but speeds up the process exponentially.
@@AsumaSensei47 The reason for using explosion instead of moves like surf/earthquake is that you get 100% of the exp, compared to 75% if you do the surf+protect trick with exp. share. However I realize I didn't test this one well enough, and I later learned that after alot of battles they stop moving spots, which makes it even more effective to use surf/earthquake+protect with exp share. The explosion tactic might still be better with a lucky egg when they move around, but when they dont move spots you can just re-enter the route so the trip to the pokecenter would be too much of a time waste.
@@MankeyMite the other aspect to keep in mind is that you can use a single pokemon with an AoE once they are strong enough to solo, you’d be able to skip the whole protect sequence around level 50-60 once you can one shot them. Especially with a special attack based mon because of the EVs off of magneton. You could just knock out the other and you’d only need to heal for PP. Especially for the 5-100 grind as a whole.
Heres the thing, I'm trying to lvl up a whole party of pokemon, and I am using the 100 lvl blissey secret base method but each pokemon is only getting 910 exp. Is it still better to stick with secret bases?
@@unrevoked7137 A blissey level 100 from a trainer battle should be giving much more than 910 exp. Are you using exp share on all your pokemon? If you can one shot a whole team of blisseys, its definetely the best way, without cloning and using rare candies.
making 255 steps outside then entering the victory road rolls for rebattle with the rival, if not, exit rinse and repeat. That is statistically faster than elite 4 spamming.
Another great method that I ALWAYS use to do is to hatch a pokemon on another copy of the game like from emerald to ruby or vice versa for example and when it has the desired nature and IV stats I EV train it first and then I trade it on the other copy of the game to get the double amount of XP for each defeated opponent's pokemon. Then I double up again on the XP gains by equipping the pokemon I want to level to 100 with a lucky egg to further increase the XP flow from double XP to 4x the amount. It works like charm each individual pokemon of the Hoenn elite 4 now gives you roughly up to 2500-6000 XP depending on it's level and evolutionary state. Hypothetically speaking since in the 3rd gen Kanto's elite 4 is the strongest level wise you could even trade your Pokémon onto FR/BG to maximize your XP gains per battle when doing their elite 4.
Of course! First you need to make a secret base on one of the games (ruby, sapphire or emerald), then you need to connect two games together with a link cable, enter the 2nd floor of any pokecenter and choose "mix records" on both devices from one of the linking options. The pokemon in your party now will become the pokemon you fight in the secret base. Blissey gives the most exp of all pokemon, so a full team of six level 100 blissey is the best choice. If your secret base was made in sapphire and you mixed records with emerald, you will find the secret base in emerald in that same location, and vice versa if you had a secret base in emerald. Also works with ruby. You can go there and battle once per day, but by changing the clock you can manipulate this and fight them as many times as you want. You can get Chansey from Fire Red or Leaf Green and trade over to one of your Hoenn games. Let me know if you need more help! Btw if you have more games you can make more secret bases and mix records with multiple games to get many battles per day!
@@MankeyMite many thanks! im currently working on pokedex stuff so will try this out soon as a test. i will let you know of the results. i have added a like to the video too for this information!
If you don’t care about EVs, I’d just fill a party with Zigzagoon and abuse pick up for candies. Utterly safe, never need to heal, can just mindlessly run around and pull off items every so often. Slow at first but it won’t get slower with levels so XP per minute increases with time
With the interview battles, give you pokemon youre training the exp share and have the other pokemon have surf so you can 1hko exploud and mangeton, its a bit more time effective that the explosion strat
Internal battery only effect timed events like caves changing based on seasons, and mirage island etc. Daycare is based on steps and is not affected by dry battery:)
What about getting a pickup team for rare candy? To get to level 90-100 is 500k xp and I would think that might be faster if you aren’t also EV training
Ur right! Check out part 2 if you want, I cover that there. Basically after level 60 for most pokemom it gets more efficient to hunt rare candies, but to set up a rare candy team you would need to have your pickup pokemom at at least lv 41 for best odds, so it would take a while to set up. Might as well clone rare candies if you want to go that route, although I see it as cheaing, and makes the game boring alot faster.
I used to have like 3 or 4 friends bases with really nice teams to battle back then. All 100s and gave decent spread of IVs. If I had known more about IV training I would of made some great training rooms lol
On my Pokémon emerald game on my game boy the clock ran dry while the interviewers were south of the desert and I was able to continually run back to them and fight them and got several Pokémon to level 100 by doing that
pretty sure the slopes only work in ruby/sapphire, but I only read it online so I'll have to try. I've done some calculations on pickup, with 6 in party it seems it starts being the better tactic when you need more than around 10k exp to level up, which is around level 60 depending on the pokemon:) that is assuming you get 1 rare candy every 5 minutes, or 1 every 16 battles on average. Making a follow up video about this and some other competing training spots:)
@@MankeyMite That's so cool! I'll tune up for this video. :) Well true, you could also add some variables like pickup is a bit random etc. ~ or maybe combining two strategies (^^) Thanks! :)
Finish long talking scene after defeating the champion, because after you saved the game before the credits part,,, you can just soft reset the game and fly back to the Hoenn League.
yea I made a part 2 of this video, where I go over that method. It's pretty good, and can be combined with leveling normally, too. Takes a while to set up, though!
I mention Artisan cave in part 2 of this video, and it's not bad if you use a Pokemon with the ability Pressure first in your party(while fainted) it will make the smeargles level 50 half the time, but their base exp is so low (900-1100 is with a lucky egg, so just ~700 xp from a lv 50 Smeargle). There are plenty of better places even if you have to rely on exp sharing to level up, but it sure is more predictable!
I always trained in Victory Road with Lucky Egg and always worked for me i gained 937 xp points to 2011 xp points doing this method. That's a clue if you want level up your pokes faster.
When I was younger I had a copy of Ruby and Emerald. I grinded emerald 6 times to trade 6 Rayquazas to the copy of Ruby. I then traded them back to emerald and grinded them all up to level 100 with elite 4 battles. Totally normal behavior.
@@TempoKong Ok, you're right that it does give Blissey's exp. I thought it didnt because it still keeps ditto's level, rather than giving a lv100 blissey's exp. At least, I dont think so. Tested it with a lv100 Rayquaza and it gave me 597 exp (so 1194 total because I switched to another pokemon to faint it) compared to 331 exp for just fainting ditto. I can't reproduce the exp given by the calculator so I'm not exactly sure, but I dont think it gives the lv100 exp (it does however give more as you said)
For part 2 u can go try end of victory road vs begining by flying to Pokemon league. Back when I used to play, I used to grind elite 4 or top level of sky pillar which had stronger pokemon than victory road
Sky pillar is great if you play ruby/sapphire, but they nerfed it in Emerald sadly:/ now they are around same levels as victory road, but takes a little longer to get there. I have found an interesting idea for victory road tho!
tbh just use the tower glitch and duplicate rare candies if you dont want to use cheats (or cant due to playing on old device), much faster and helps with making new frontier squads as well, i do this and its definitely the fastest choice if you just want to hard slam runs on the place. for the league you can also just perish song trap with a wobbuffet and spam heals or max elixirs if youd rather do a slightly less broken option (but still decent). you only need one of each to get an endless amount
@@MankeyMite oops, mustve overshot that in the description then, apologies. but yes, these are the only good glitchless ways for sure. now you could use a cheat to spawn endless chansey or blissey but thats also a backdoor method (more so than the glitch), but good for anyone short on time also i know the feeling needing to heal after each interview battle, this was one of the only problems i had with it until i had a lv 80+ crobat a while back
@@Sleepy-Mal No worries, I should have been more clear! Did some new tests on the interviewers after they get bugged and stay in the same place. Alot better exp/m, but also rematching Wally in victory road is actually not a daily event but a small chance to rematch each time you enter the victory road, which could give you alot of exp/m when his pkmn are ~lv 56. Will showcase that in my next video:)
@@MankeyMite ah ok, i didnt know the interviewers could be glitch locked to the same spot. also did not know about wally but will see your showcase once possible for me even though i just use glitch for new frontier teammates =)
I used earthquake on the interviewer while bringing an army of zigzagoons that loots rare candy randomly. By the time I got over a stack. I have problems reaching the lvls so I used the candies to max my swampert that has rollout egg move on it. I think I still have 2 badges to collect on that time.

-sending money to your pc isn't a thing in Emerald, oops!
My bad who already used my 2 rare candies 💀
Agreed, you should have mentioned that there is a stupidly faster method to level up....
At this point cloning for rare candies isn’t bad, this process takes awhile to do anyways. If it’s apart of the game then you should use it to your advantage.
Horrible logic@@AnimeWrestlingFan1996
This is my strategy, including something this video didn't mention:
Zigzagoon and Linoone have the ability Pickup. Starting at level 41, there is a 10 percent chance of picking up a rare candy. Linoone captured on routes 119 and 120 are between levels 22-25. You can either catch 5 and level all of them up, or catch 1, level it up, and then clone it four times. For Pickup to trigger, you need to catch or defeat the opponent Pokemon in a trainer or random battle.
Yes! I forgot about that! Leveling up your pokemon with one of the methods from the video while having 5 zigzagoons with pickup would be pushing it to the limit for sure!:)
@@MankeyMite I think, if you want to get to lvl 100, this is by far the fastest way to do it. Just grind against random low level wilds with a high pp pokemon, and check every after every x battles. The interesting thing would be to find the optimal number of battles x after which you check for picked up items. Once your pokemon reaches a certain level, it may even be better to just deposit it (in the daycare), and start defeating low lvl stuff with a 6th linoone.
@@tiemen9095 I tried it, but you get rare candies way too rare for it to be viable, 10% chance for item after battle and 10% for rare candies, and you waste some seconds checking items too, but for high levels you get more value from it:)
@@MankeyMite I still think it is the most efficient at high levels. Another efficient way (also to EV train btw): go to desert underpass. Bring a high lvl pokemon like Rayquaza and look for ditto. Switch to the Rayquaza and OHKO it with dragon claw or so. You get the xp and EV as though you just defeated rayquaza. Many other pokemon can be used. Also, for any wild encounter strat: place a fainted pokemon with the ability Hustle, Pressure or Vital Spirit in the lead of your party to get a 50% chance for the wild encounter to be at its max possible lvl for that area.
@@tiemen9095 Yes! I have to make a part 2 of this video now! Alot of good ideas that I didn't mention here, including the cloning glitch😂
The Blissey / Chansey trick reminds me so much of my time with Omega Ruby, when you could find secret bases online and there was one I'm pretty sure on a Mirage island w a full team of blisseys to fight. A strange bit of nostalgia but something I remember fondly from the game.
When was this?
A true hero
@@markusballsdeep6051 early 3DS for months after release of ORAS
There were actually 2 of these entire islands, and 1 treehouse guy on the daycares route. I still have those bases, it was great.
I thought you were crazy for feeling nostalgiac over OR/AS because in my head those game out “a few” years ago.
Then I googled it :(
The most surprising part of this for me is how effective the daycare is. I thought it would be blown out of the water by pretty much any other strategy.
for me too!
846 Exp per 2 minutes by 8x Emulator Speed multiplier on Mobile GBA will give 6768 Exp in 2 minutes. Crazy Exp levels wow
It's 1 minute, actually even faster, I thought he said 2 minutes and miscalculated.
@@MemeRaider well that's cheating. If you wanna cheat, there are more ways to get xp easily.
@@skult227 It's about the lowest grade of cheating since you can't tell if someone did that or not without actually looking at their screen. Since it's also occurring within the game, It can be count as legitimate but it can desync the in game clock.

@@sarahmoll1788 is it possible to connect? I play this in an emulator
Love it when people do the math and breakdown the stats for emerald, my favorite game ever. Thanks man this is really helpful honestly
has to be my favorite as well!
When you take into account that emulators can simulate up to 5 times faster, the day care is the best option and available earliest in the game, too. Plus you don't have to risk getting your Pokémon killed if you're Nuzlocking.
Up to 5 times? Where did you pull that number from? If you desync the audio in mGBA the game runs at 20-25x speed.
@@ScyrousFXyou forgot that it still depends on the hardware the emulator runs on but the point is just that it can be speeded up easily.
I used to go in and out of victory road over and over fighting Wally as a kid (his battle will eventually respawn after going in and out enough, it's rng but every time gives a chance so it's quick)
that's interesting! Maybe I'll have to play around with the xp/minute here as well:)
I remember there being a great trick in Ruby/Sapphire (not Emerald unfortunately) that allowed you to afk grind using the Day Care and the Acro Bike with a mudslide. Basically you'd deposit a pair of any Pokémon, go to a mudslide with the Acro Bike and then just hold the up button. In RS when you attempt to go up a mudslide it will count as a step, even if you don't actually go up it (I believe this was fixed in Emerald). You can use any method of movement (Acro Bike, Mach Bike, or feet) but the Acro Bike is the fastest and most efficient way to grind. You'll have to use something to hold the up button, such as a weight or tape, but if you're able to get it to go up on its own then your golden. I actually used this trick a lot to complete my Sapphire's National Dex
1 thing with Gabby and Ty, is that they become static after you beat them enough times. Once that happens, you just need to move to the next route and come back to fight again. Admittedly, you do have to fight them 255 times before they do that.
yea I did this for part 2 xD took me ages
oh wow lol i never knew this
I actually used them alot as a kid, and was confused when they suddenly werent east of Fortree city. I looked there, and route 118 and then found the STILL near the desert, where they stayed.
Pretty interesting
Because of this video I completed my pokedex
@@Kiraclaw3112 yes because you need to evolve pokemon to complete it
@Ale, Roza's Goggles most, also there's a lot of Pokemon to level in hoen especially
@@Kiraclaw3112 what a stupid question..... LMAO 🤣
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oothat wasn’t even a question
Liar
I had one of the worst strategies as a kid: I found out the breeder between the daycare and Verdenturf almost ALWAYS rebattles you once you move out of the area and run back, and with a full scaling team of 6 i grinded out the last 30 levels on my Rayquaza as well as the last 40ish on my Sceptile
That's what I call dedication!
@@MankeyMite I’ll be honest idk how younger me stayed with it, I don’t have the patience for EV training let along grinding off level 30 something mon’s for 2 weeks straight
Another good way to level up in this game is to rematch all the trainers near Mauville City and Route 117. Cycle back and forth a lot of times between Mauville City and Verdanturf Town (just like he does 0:50). Eventually, most of the trainers in the area will battle you again. Once you defeat all of them, start cycling again. They will be ready to battle you yet again.
Their pokemon also level up each time until they peak. This is the best way to level up in this game until you can sweep Elite Four easily with Exp Share.
I made a part 2 about that area, it's not bad at all!:)
One leveling strat I always read about was putting a Pokemon in the Daycare, then biking to the Desert and getting yourself stuck on one of those sand slides that you need the Mach Bike to cross. If you tape down the D-pad, you can continuously get steps counted while you do something else, provided you don't let your GBA run out of battery. Never tried it, because I hate the idea of leaving a console on overnight, but I imagine it would be smooth sailing on a sped-up emulator.
Only works for Ruby/Sapphire:( But very true!
My fast leveling was route 117 (that area where the daycare was), with a VS Seeker. Every time I used the seeker, at least three would want to battle again, including the double battle twins.
It's a good spot! Check out part 2 for results on that spot if you want:)
You're remembering wrong, as RSE doesnt have a VS seeker. They do however want to rebattle after a certain amount of steps is taken in area or nearby areas.
Love that you saw suggestions recently and are going to make a part 2, nice vid bro!!
thanks buddy!
I actually always use the Routes 117 and 118 (left side), their trainers are quite good and you can defeat them often.
There's actually a small exploit using the acro bike and the mud slabs at the top of route 111. You can leave a poke.on in the daycare then go to the top most mud slab and just hold up on the d-pad. Each movement counts as a step.
only in ruby and sapphire sadly
The fastest method is rebattling the trainers on the route of the daycare. I usually spend around 2-4 hours to level 100 there depending on the pokemon. Its roughly 6k exp per breeder battle, 3000 per double battle, and 1200 per sports guy... Thats around 17000 exp every run, which costs you around 3 minutes every time + 2 minutes of recharging the battles by walking back and forth between city and route on a bike. Since these trainers all stay on a pretty low level, you can start training your pokemon without an exp share pretty quickly to get the full exp.
I highly underestimated this place.. Even as a kid I trained here all the time, especially since it was so easy to level up when at a low level. I tested this place a few times for like 10 minute runs, it was surprisingly good, giving me around 2.6-2.8k/m, but I just found another strat that gets around 4k per minute, working on a part 2 now:3
True bro, I was grinding here to get a lot of pokemon to 100 lv. It's also close to daycare, where I can get eggs or AFK get some exp to 2 pokemon :) Glad I'm not the only one who figured out this place
How do you activate the battles? Just talk to the trainers again?
@@adrianharris8041 you can reset the trainers by biking around for a few seconds, and there is a % chance for them to battle you again.
@@MankeyMite thank you 🙏🏼
The thing is, you can use the Daycare while also using these other methods simultaneously so it’s easily the best
With the interviewers, if you battle them enough, they eventually only appear on route 111. Takes a LONG time, but eventually they stay put.
yea, I made a part 2 of this video where I mention it. Really cool!
I’m trying to beat the league but I’m under level and I’m in a nuzlock 💀
Thanks man my swablu was level 20 and When I do the daycare trick you showed in this video my swablu is level 28 my swablu can be a altaria in no time!!

Glad to hear that!
Best guide ever dude Thank you SOOO much
Thank you!
Funny how I went here because I was training a latios.
When I was a kid I'd put Pokémon in the daycare and walk up a muddy slope, it pushes you back down and counts as a step. So Id press down on the up button with something and leave it over night
Sadly only works in ruby/sapphire, but it's a clever trick indeed!
Dope video, thanks for doing both the research and the math! Congrats on the shiny Hariyama 🤜🤛
Thank you!
How many tries did it take
50 seconds in the video and already called out as a loser... i am loving this LUL
There is a method with Ditto'd Blissey you can use too.
The ditto method is also the best method for EV training too in Emerald, so you can gain a ton of EXP while getting EVs up with high exp yield pokemon like Kyogre who also give 3 base EVs for Special Attack for instance.
However for raw EXP, you want to use a Blissey. You train it offensively, and teach it Brick Break, should be a +Atk nature as well to guarantee the 1HKO on the level 45 ditto even if it has max defense IVs and a favorable +Def nature
Desert Underpass has the Dittos.
Here is the showdown formatted Blissey setup:
Choice Band to increase attack, Attack and Speed EVs to guarantee going first no matter what and having extra power, Brick Break to 1HKO the Ditto, and Teleport to return to pokemon center. The HP Fighting is optional.
Blissey (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Brick Break
- Teleport
Hidden Power Fighting is optional(since it requires exact IVs), but prolongs your stay in the cave. Although 24 uses of brick break assuming PP max is used is still pretty decent. (15 PP is still alright)
Steps:
Optional: Use White Flute to increase encounter rate to 1.5x
1. Have the Pokemon you want to train 2nd lead of your party, have a fainted Pokemon with Illuminate at the lead
2. Turn 1 switch to your level 100 Blissey, which Ditto will Transform into
3. Click Brick Break
4. Repeat until all PP is exhausted. This will yield around ~1k EXP per battle.
5. Use Teleport on Blissey(or another pokemon like Abra in your party) to go back to the Pokemon Center
6. Use the PC box (do not heal at the counter!)
7. Deposit your Blissey into your PC and then Withdraw it. This will 100% heal it and restore its PP
8. Return to Desert Underpass and start from step 1
I believe this will be less painful than the Elite 4 Method as it does not require intentional wiping which relies on AI Trainer RNG.
Transformed Dittos affect base EV and EXP yield upon defeating it. It will use whatever the transformed pokemon has. This is why this works.
@@DkKobaADV Hey this is great! Thanks for the detailed comment! I would have reccommended this, but getting a Blissey would require a second game to trade with from FR/LG, glitch or cheats to get, and I only show spots that you can do without any of that! But for those who have that option or want to glitch their game to get a blissey, that would for sure be a good alternative to the league!
@@MankeyMite something with a high base exp yield would likely work as well such as metagross or salamence. Equake and dragon claw as primary moves for both respectively
The fastest and EASIEST way by far is to use the day care and use the mach bike, but if you go the desert, there's a mud hill that when attempting to go up, will instantly move you back down. If you use a Gameboy SP, (like the one I had when I was 12 years old), find an object that can keep the button pressed down, then close the SP. Then simply plug it in, so the battery doesn't run out, then leave it. After waking up the next day, the pokemon in the day care will be at level 100.
that only works for ruby/sapphire, sadly!
You could switch train if you put Amulet Coin on the first Pokémon you send out and Lucky Egg on the Pokémon you are training for more EXP
absolutely! however, this video was for gaining exp without trading, and lucky egg is only obtainable from trading from FR/LG
I usually fight the news crew a bunch of times, give the Pokemon you want to level up the exp share and give the other Pokemon the amulet coin to make a bunch of money
My level up strategy as a kid back in the day was using the Battle Tower pokemon duplication glitch. Sure I ended up with bunch of copy pokemon, but it was the fastest way to grind up rare candies,
I did the exact same thing lol that glitch was awesome. I cloned my raquaza and was flipping out when I saw 2 for the first time
Maybe you know this now, but you can clone items without cloning pokemon if you didnt want the repeat pokemon. You just have pokemon in the PC hold items, and just put the items in your bag instead of withdrawing the entire pokemon.
@@rayquaza5059 yeah but you still end up filling up all your boxes eventually. I just take the items and then release the pokemon
@@gabrielfonseca1642 Cloning items using “move items” doesn’t give you any extra pokemon at all. It just clones the items.
@@rayquaza5059 just looked it up. How did I not know that after 10 years -_-
1 extra tip is that zigzagoon (or any other pokemon with the ability pickup like phanpy, meowth,aipom.teddiursa and linoone) has a 10% chance of "picking up" an item after a battle as long as it is in your party(dont even need to actually use it in battle).
in ruby and sapphire they always have a 10% chance when picking up an item for that item to be a rare candy.
in emerald it is a bit harder as they will need to be level 21 for you to have a 4% chance for the picked up item to be a rare candy luckily it is easy to get a pickup pokemon of that level since most can be found in the wild that high (zigzagoon and linoone on route 118 and 119. phanpy in the safari zone(need acro bike). teddiursa and aipom in the pokemon emerald safari zone extension in their 30s(!). and meowth who you can get by trading a skitty at the battle frontier, he gets pay day too). and in emerald only the chance of picking up rare candies becomes 10% at level 41 and the chances and ability to get other useful items also goes up the higher level the pick up pokemon (go to bulbapedia for a full list)
so next time you are trying to grind up a pokemon consider putting some pokemon with pickup in the back of your party for extra rare candies and other items you might be able to use or sell for money, you can have up to 4 if you are grinding with the exp share and up to 5 if you are grinding the pokemon by letting it fight themself or using a pickup pokemon to ko the enemies (high level meowth with pay day wink wink)
Man just wrote a bible!😍You're right, that would be some next level strategy! Or if we reeeally want to level up fast, we always have the cloning glitch for unlimited rare candies ;)
not just rare candy, but nuggets as well if you’re ever worried about money. I played sapphire for about 4 hours yesterday mostly messing around but also with 5 zigzagoons in my party and i ended up with 10 rare candy, 10 nuggets, a good number of potions, ultra balls, revives, as well as a shiny electrike
@@bernie.05 shinies on gen 3 are extremely rare, congrats:)
MankeyMite thanks boss, i just picked up pokémon for the first time in a decade or so and it has been a good time, your videos have been very helpful too:)
I believe that is how you get extra earthquake TMS as well, always useful.
My first shiny was that hariyama as well training for the league
That's so cool!
The daycare is a great addition for any level grinding you are trying, though. Throw 2 Pokémon in the daycare and then grind levels at the Elite 4.
I DYNAMICPUNCHED the like button but it missed!
Daycare + bike on the rock slide area + tape down the up button all night
= how everyone gets lvl 100 in the real world
they fixed it for Emerald, only works in ruby/sapphire:(
I only played Ruby so I didn’t know that. Makes sense.
Interviewers always my favorite.I even mastered Mach bike because of these guys
Gaby and Ty were my go to grinders as a kid
Funnily enough I had battled the interviewer pair so much that for some reason they never moved from the area near the desert ever again so it was easy just to cycle between routes to reset the battle and just keep doing it over and over.
happens after 255 rematches!:D done some more xp calculations on that for my next video! It's pretty solid!
@@MankeyMite ah that makes sense!
The ride a bike up a slippery slope and slide down trick works. Force the up button down with coins and go to bed for the night. Boom level 75 pokemon
(Be sure the pokemon is in the daycare)
it does not work in Emerald, only Ruby/Sapphire.
When I was leveling in emerald I would use a lucky egg and do the interviewer battle. I didn’t use explosion but I used a move that hit both opponents to take them out in one hit. That worked really well too.
@@driftwood42 yea thats probably better. I didn't want to include lucky egg tho since you have to trade for it.
@@MankeyMite I just watched your video about the best way to get the lucky egg. I definitely just hacked mine in lol
@@MankeyMitedo teh reporters change where they spawn each time?
@@Commander.Erwin_Smith. Yes, they cycle between route 111, route 118, and route 120. If you battle them like 500 times, they eventually stop at route 111 and never move again. (fun easter egg)
Another interviewer option is using lv 100 Rayquaza with surf while giving the exp to whoever you are raising. You wont have to go to pkm centre every time
Pokemon League is so OP that with the Exp. Share it still wins over EVERY OTHER OPTION lol.
I wish Emerald had a VS Seeker and a second time Pokemon League like Fire Red. ☹
I used dynamic punch on the like button but it missed what do I do
When I was a kid I put them in daycare as you said, but I went to the dessert spot with my bike. The spot in the dessert where you couldn't go up with the normal bike. I put a book on my Gameboy up controls which kept me going up and glitches me back to the spot. I let this happen over a day and my Pokémon went up to level 100 the next day. Basically AFK leveling.
The only downside to this is that daycare will randomly choose the attacks for the Pokemon
Yes! A nice way to level up AFK! Too bad they fixed it in Emerald. Only works in Ruby/Sapphire :(
1:43 can you explain this? i was confused on the swapping to swablu part
Sure! So exp is only given to participating pokemon in a battle or pokemon holding exp. share, and if multiple Pokemon participate, the total exp will be shared/split between them. So by swapping out Swablu and killing all other pokemon including your own, swablu gets all the exp alone:)
@@MankeyMite thankyou so much!
@@akasaka4036 No problem! Glad to help
There's a "flaw" in Ruby that they fixed in Emerald
Where you can collect ashes for flutes
Having a Pokémon with "pick-up" will get way more rare candies
really? Could you explain further? I didn't find any info on that.
Hey, first time seeing your channel and enjoying it a lot! Good job!
that warms my heart
When I was young, I played Pokémon Rubis / Sapphire. Not Emerald, and the way I XPed my Girafarig and Rayquaza to the Lvl 100 was to battle a lot of Pokémon (Victory road for exemple) and have 5 Zigzagoon/Linoone with pick up. In RS, the odds to have a rare candy was 10% every time, in Emerald, it's 10% only from the lvl 41 and more (5% lvl 31-40, 3% lvl 21-30 and nothing before)
It's 10% each battle to pick up a new item, and 10% the Rare candy. So it's 1% each linoone to have the item at the end of the battle. If there are 5 linoone, it's ~ 4,90% to have the candy, so every ~20 battles you have can have a new LVL ! It could save a lot of fights and you just have to wait the moment when you can finish the XP of your Pokémon with all this Candys !
Pickup is a very good method indeed! I mention it in part 2 as well!
Liked and subbed. I got a ruby cartridge off a pal a bit ago and this video was fast. To the point. Informative and had a lighthearted joke or 2 thrown in AT THE END. Great vid keep it up man.
aw thank you so much!
Friend: I'm not gonna train 6 lv100 blizzys for you to farming Exp mate
"but pleeease, I can give you my cloned rayquaza if you want" ^-^
As a kid I naturally went to the trainers next to the daycare but never considered the day care. On the daycare route there are a lot of trainers with similar level to the interviewers.
YOU CAN DIPEOSIT YOUR MONEY?! I wish I knew that before getting to the Elite Four!
I played my Sapphire game a lot as a kid and battled the interviewers to level up. One day, either my game glitched or I reached the end code of them transferring locations because they just stopped moving locations. They would just stay on Route 110, and I'd just have to go to Route 112 and back down to refresh the battle. It's how I got a level 100 Whiscash with Magnitude (since I didn't know Earthquake was better as a kid) and a Level 100 Flygon with Levitate. Then I kept battling them to train up flying types or Pokemon that could learn Surf
It happens after 255 rematches!:) You can check how it compares in part 2 where I test it:)
@@MankeyMite just watched it :) haha just commented a bit too early. Good job in testing btw! I also remember battling the trainers on Route 117 to grind too, like on your Part 2
Wow, the daycare is better than I thought.
My thought too when comparing. Not that many great exp grinding methods in Emerald, unless you clone rare candies and get to 100 in 10 minutes:)
Sometimes i send 15-30 riding back & forth on my match bike to level my pokemon up in the day care.
I would use the daycare trick where I use a bike to try to go up the sandy ramp and slide back down. Level up some Pokemon while I slept and leave the DS charging all night.
Got my first shiny on victory road after 7k hours in the game. shiny gold goldbat. Still got the picture on my phone.
Hey on the Victory Road method. How much You gain if You put the swablu first on the fight and then You exchange it for the metagross to end and win the battle
@@CesarAugustoRocabadoVillegas if you mean if Metagross uses explosion? Then swablu will earn all the exp for that battle, but not very efficient as you must heal the metagross to use it again.
@@MankeyMite no. If swablu (with the share exp item) gets first into battle and then You change him for metagross. I done that and it seems that it gets half more exp that usually metagross gets.
@@CesarAugustoRocabadoVillegas right, you get more exp if the exp share holder is sent into battle, but then you need a few extra seconds to swap, reducing the exp over time. Not sure if it's worth it.
When I was a kid I used to put a pokemon in daycare get to a landslide, hop on my bike and put a rock on the up button while I slept 😴.
The way you do the reporters is awful, this can EASILY be maximized by using a strong AoE pokemon with surf/earthquake,etc. give the other pokemon exp share/lucky egg. Nearly all pokemon can learn protect which can be purchased at lilycove. Put both moves in slot one and just spam through. You can get at least 10 runs in before you need to refresh, or 24 runs if you max out a move like surf. This gives most of the xp to the secondary, but speeds up the process exponentially.
@@AsumaSensei47 The reason for using explosion instead of moves like surf/earthquake is that you get 100% of the exp, compared to 75% if you do the surf+protect trick with exp. share. However I realize I didn't test this one well enough, and I later learned that after alot of battles they stop moving spots, which makes it even more effective to use surf/earthquake+protect with exp share. The explosion tactic might still be better with a lucky egg when they move around, but when they dont move spots you can just re-enter the route so the trip to the pokecenter would be too much of a time waste.
@@MankeyMite the other aspect to keep in mind is that you can use a single pokemon with an AoE once they are strong enough to solo, you’d be able to skip the whole protect sequence around level 50-60 once you can one shot them. Especially with a special attack based mon because of the EVs off of magneton. You could just knock out the other and you’d only need to heal for PP. Especially for the 5-100 grind as a whole.
@@AsumaSensei47 Yea you actually don't need the protect, as Surf don't hit your teammate in Emerald.
You can also trade over to FR/LG and defeat the Elite four rematches so that you battle only Pokemon that are level 60-75.
04:04 wait can you store money in the pc i am pretty sure it's not possible at elast in emerald ruby and sapphire
Yea my bad! I was thinking of gen 2 xD
Heres the thing, I'm trying to lvl up a whole party of pokemon, and I am using the 100 lvl blissey secret base method but each pokemon is only getting 910 exp. Is it still better to stick with secret bases?
@@unrevoked7137 A blissey level 100 from a trainer battle should be giving much more than 910 exp. Are you using exp share on all your pokemon? If you can one shot a whole team of blisseys, its definetely the best way, without cloning and using rare candies.
Would the daycare trick work you tape done the up button facing a up ramp and leave it to do that over night ?
only in Ruby/Sapphire, they fixed it in Emerald.
@@MankeyMite okay. Thank you, might fire up a old ruby:)
the interviewers were always my go-to
making 255 steps outside then entering the victory road rolls for rebattle with the rival, if not, exit rinse and repeat. That is statistically faster than elite 4 spamming.
yea I included that in my second part of this video, great method!
Another great method that I ALWAYS use to do is to hatch a pokemon on another copy of the game like from emerald to ruby or vice versa for example and when it has the desired nature and IV stats I EV train it first and then I trade it on the other copy of the game to get the double amount of XP for each defeated opponent's pokemon. Then I double up again on the XP gains by equipping the pokemon I want to level to 100 with a lucky egg to further increase the XP flow from double XP to 4x the amount. It works like charm each individual pokemon of the Hoenn elite 4 now gives you roughly up to 2500-6000 XP depending on it's level and evolutionary state. Hypothetically speaking since in the 3rd gen Kanto's elite 4 is the strongest level wise you could even trade your Pokémon onto FR/BG to maximize your XP gains per battle when doing their elite 4.
I was playing on an emulator and overwrote my soft save on the title screen 😢😢😢
6:24 I have a shiny hariyama from victory road too!
No way:O
At 4:02 what do you mean when you say, depositing your money in your PC? How do you do that?
It was possible in the gen 2 games
He made a mistake, its not possible in emerald
yup, my bad. I thought of gen 2:)
Can you explain the first option? I have a bunch of gameboys with a bunch of copies of pokemon games so I want to learn how to do that.
Of course! First you need to make a secret base on one of the games (ruby, sapphire or emerald), then you need to connect two games together with a link cable, enter the 2nd floor of any pokecenter and choose "mix records" on both devices from one of the linking options. The pokemon in your party now will become the pokemon you fight in the secret base. Blissey gives the most exp of all pokemon, so a full team of six level 100 blissey is the best choice. If your secret base was made in sapphire and you mixed records with emerald, you will find the secret base in emerald in that same location, and vice versa if you had a secret base in emerald. Also works with ruby. You can go there and battle once per day, but by changing the clock you can manipulate this and fight them as many times as you want. You can get Chansey from Fire Red or Leaf Green and trade over to one of your Hoenn games. Let me know if you need more help! Btw if you have more games you can make more secret bases and mix records with multiple games to get many battles per day!

If you don’t care about EVs, I’d just fill a party with Zigzagoon and abuse pick up for candies. Utterly safe, never need to heal, can just mindlessly run around and pull off items every so often. Slow at first but it won’t get slower with levels so XP per minute increases with time
true!
With the interview battles, give you pokemon youre training the exp share and have the other pokemon have surf so you can 1hko exploud and mangeton, its a bit more time effective that the explosion strat
yea, they are pretty close. The surf strategy is definitely a lot easier and you won't have to heal in between.
Does the internal battery being dead effect the daycare? Or is that based solely on steps?
Internal battery only effect timed events like caves changing based on seasons, and mirage island etc. Daycare is based on steps and is not affected by dry battery:)
Thanks homie great video👍
Thanks!
What about getting a pickup team for rare candy? To get to level 90-100 is 500k xp and I would think that might be faster if you aren’t also EV training
Ur right! Check out part 2 if you want, I cover that there. Basically after level 60 for most pokemom it gets more efficient to hunt rare candies, but to set up a rare candy team you would need to have your pickup pokemom at at least lv 41 for best odds, so it would take a while to set up. Might as well clone rare candies if you want to go that route, although I see it as cheaing, and makes the game boring alot faster.
I used to have like 3 or 4 friends bases with really nice teams to battle back then. All 100s and gave decent spread of IVs. If I had known more about IV training I would of made some great training rooms lol
You mean EVS?
On my Pokémon emerald game on my game boy the clock ran dry while the interviewers were south of the desert and I was able to continually run back to them and fight them and got several Pokémon to level 100 by doing that
sweet!
I've always just hung out in mauville there's a bunch of rebattles there
I guess the bike method is the best in emulators, as you can fast-forward it, and grind really fast
Yup!
I was expecting some new strategy XD But not a bad summary for the spots. BTW Pickup is the best way. And daycare is better with bike&hill/slopes
pretty sure the slopes only work in ruby/sapphire, but I only read it online so I'll have to try. I've done some calculations on pickup, with 6 in party it seems it starts being the better tactic when you need more than around 10k exp to level up, which is around level 60 depending on the pokemon:) that is assuming you get 1 rare candy every 5 minutes, or 1 every 16 battles on average. Making a follow up video about this and some other competing training spots:)
@@MankeyMite That's so cool! I'll tune up for this video. :) Well true, you could also add some variables like pickup is a bit random etc. ~ or maybe combining two strategies (^^) Thanks! :)
Finish long talking scene after defeating the champion, because after you saved the game before the credits part,,, you can just soft reset the game and fly back to the Hoenn League.
Yea you can do that, but it's less xp/minute. takes a minute or so to get back, if you care about min-maxing:)
What about 6 pickup zigzagoons and try to get rare candies? In higher levels, you need a TON of exp, so why not grind the candies instead?
yea I made a part 2 of this video, where I go over that method. It's pretty good, and can be combined with leveling normally, too. Takes a while to set up, though!
i wonder how the Artisan Cave stacks up, tends to be my goto because the smeargle practically don't fight back and give a healthy 900-1100 xp a pop.
I mention Artisan cave in part 2 of this video, and it's not bad if you use a Pokemon with the ability Pressure first in your party(while fainted) it will make the smeargles level 50 half the time, but their base exp is so low (900-1100 is with a lucky egg, so just ~700 xp from a lv 50 Smeargle). There are plenty of better places even if you have to rely on exp sharing to level up, but it sure is more predictable!
@@MankeyMite ah, forgot how ridiculous it is to get a lucky egg, most people aren't gonna have that :p. and the trade requirement.
@@ExceedinglyFPR true!
how did swablu receive exp in the victory road when metagross was the one fighting im still new to this game
I gave swablu the exp.share item. It can then gain part of the exp without entering battle.
I always trained in Victory Road with Lucky Egg and always worked for me i gained 937 xp points to 2011 xp points doing this method. That's a clue if you want level up your pokes faster.
When I was younger I had a copy of Ruby and Emerald. I grinded emerald 6 times to trade 6 Rayquazas to the copy of Ruby. I then traded them back to emerald and grinded them all up to level 100 with elite 4 battles. Totally normal behavior.
There's also another trick - using blissey in the ditto cave. Pretty efficient tbf.
but then you would need to trade, glitch or cheat to get blissey:(
@@MankeyMite yeah ik, but you don't need to trade with someone that had a level 100 blissey team
Iirc that doesnt change the amount of exp. You just get the exp as if it were ditto
@@gabrielfonseca1642 nope, you get Blissey's xp, I already did this so I know it works, at least in Emerald
@@TempoKong Ok, you're right that it does give Blissey's exp. I thought it didnt because it still keeps ditto's level, rather than giving a lv100 blissey's exp. At least, I dont think so. Tested it with a lv100 Rayquaza and it gave me 597 exp (so 1194 total because I switched to another pokemon to faint it) compared to 331 exp for just fainting ditto. I can't reproduce the exp given by the calculator so I'm not exactly sure, but I dont think it gives the lv100 exp (it does however give more as you said)
For part 2 u can go try end of victory road vs begining by flying to Pokemon league. Back when I used to play, I used to grind elite 4 or top level of sky pillar which had stronger pokemon than victory road
Sky pillar is great if you play ruby/sapphire, but they nerfed it in Emerald sadly:/ now they are around same levels as victory road, but takes a little longer to get there. I have found an interesting idea for victory road tho!
tbh just use the tower glitch and duplicate rare candies if you dont want to use cheats (or cant due to playing on old device), much faster and helps with making new frontier squads as well, i do this and its definitely the fastest choice if you just want to hard slam runs on the place.
for the league you can also just perish song trap with a wobbuffet and spam heals or max elixirs if youd rather do a slightly less broken option (but still decent). you only need one of each to get an endless amount
yup, I should have stated in the video this is without using glitches. I thought it was enough to write it in the description, but oh well ^-^
@@MankeyMite oops, mustve overshot that in the description then, apologies.
but yes, these are the only good glitchless ways for sure. now you could use a cheat to spawn endless chansey or blissey but thats also a backdoor method (more so than the glitch), but good for anyone short on time
also i know the feeling needing to heal after each interview battle, this was one of the only problems i had with it until i had a lv 80+ crobat a while back
@@Sleepy-Mal No worries, I should have been more clear! Did some new tests on the interviewers after they get bugged and stay in the same place. Alot better exp/m, but also rematching Wally in victory road is actually not a daily event but a small chance to rematch each time you enter the victory road, which could give you alot of exp/m when his pkmn are ~lv 56. Will showcase that in my next video:)
@@MankeyMite ah ok, i didnt know the interviewers could be glitch locked to the same spot. also did not know about wally but will see your showcase once possible for me even though i just use glitch for new frontier teammates =)
I used earthquake on the interviewer while bringing an army of zigzagoons that loots rare candy randomly. By the time I got over a stack. I have problems reaching the lvls so I used the candies to max my swampert that has rollout egg move on it. I think I still have 2 badges to collect on that time.
