The reason for this is somewhat convulted, but basically as you level up your pokemon manually, their stats will improve based on the pokemon they fought, in addition to the normal level up bonus. Additionally, trained pokemon are actually a good deal more powerful than wild pokemon, even if the wild one is a few levels higher. One last thing, make sure you evolve your pokemon, as it improves their stats drastically. As for the roaming Legendaries (such as Latios & Latias & a few others), all of them are level 100, which in theory, should not be an issue in post game. You have two choices at this point.ġ) Spend more hours leveling up until you can beat them.Ģ) Catch Rayquaza, and curb stomp them with a level 70 legendary. IIRC, some of the champion's pokemon are in the 60's level wise, and although you can abuse type advantage, that won't make up for a 15 level difference. Sadly, that won't be enough for the elite 4. They are also guaranteed to have a minimum of 3 perfect IVs when captured or spawned in. They are very difficult to obtain because of their difficulty to locate, high levels, and low catch rates. If you do that, your party should be about on par with most of the trainers you come across. Legendary Pokmon are Pokmon that are characterized by their rarity and their high base stat totals.
A good baseline would be lvl 10 for the first gym, and another 5 levels for every gym leader after that. Not just what you'd get from fighting every trainer, and leveling a team of 6 pokemon from that, I mean running around in the grass for hours to level. For example, my old gold team wasĪnd one more I can't remember right now. You just want to get 6 pokemon, such that you won't end up in a situation where one poke type counters half your team. Getting a balance of types is pretty easy. The Pokemon games have recently begun treating Legendaries as numerous necessary inclusions in competitive teams, but the anime has had much more magic surrounding these one-of-a-kind creatures. Aside from the very high level legendaries you can catch, there's no magic group of pokemon that will get you through the game with minimal effort. The following Legendary Pokemon are available in normal gameplay of Emerald: Groudon Kyogre Rayquaza Latios/Latias (you may only choose one) Regice Regirock Registeel The following Legendary Pokemon were available in Emerald via an event: Latios/Latias (i.e. Legendary Pokemon are supposed to be incredibly rare, but a few trainers in the anime have managed to get their hands on them.
Be nice.Well, it comes down to personal preference, really. This thing could end you instantly with a tidal wave. Of course, it certainly still isn't a Pokémon to sneeze at in its Gold incarnation either. If you are playing the Silver version of the game, Lugia will have access to its signature move Aeroblast, which makes it that much more special to have. The Pokémon is obviously a tough one to catch, so make sure that you save before starting the battle. RELATED: Pokémon: Ash's First 10 Pokémon, Ranked After making it through the caverns, you'll find one at level 40, or 70 if you're playing Gold. With the Silver Wing in hand, you'll be able to travel to the Whirl Islands. After defeating Team Rocket in Goldenrod City - or just talking to an old man if you happen to be playing Gold version - you'll be given the Silver Wing item. If you're playing Silver version, you're going to be encountering Lugia much earlier in the story than Ho-Oh, before the Elite Four. Oddly enough, Lugia and the other box legendary Ho-Oh can both be obtained in each version of the game, just at different points in the story depending on your version.
