Grinding for the E4. Mienshao is badass.

[A.J. Nitro]

Oh, and an easy way to grind is by giving your Pokemon a Lucky Egg to hold and fighting Audinos in shaking bushes in Route 10. Doing that will give you about 2000+ Exp. per battle.

Beat E4 and the immediately following awesomeness. My friend was around the same spot as me, so we hung out for like 4 hours and did nothing but grind for levels, catch legendaries like the Fighting types and the Flying types, trade for version exclusives, and beat the E4 simultaneously.

lvl 55 Scrafty "Derp"
lvl 54 Chandelure "Lumiere"
lvl 54 Serperior "Grasshole"
lvl 50 Sigilyph "Nazca"
lvl 50 Carracosta "Yertle"

In-depth recap which includes plot spoilers, so don't read if you haven't gotten this far.

Spoiler

[Carrcosta and Sigilyph weren't very helpful against the E4 (all of the fighting types had a Rock move, and Water and Rock aren't that great against any of their types). Chandelure took out 3/4 of the Ghost member and ONKO'd all of the Psychic member's team. So that was boss. Grasshole set up Coil 5 times on Throh and then swept the Fighting member (for some reason he used nothing but Bulldoze, which did next to nothing except slow me a bit). But all that defense made me impenetrable and the attack let Leaf Blade kill everything in one shot. However, the real winner was Scrafty. Moxie is officially the best ability ever.

He completely OHKO'd everyone in the Dark member's party, took out 5/6 of Ghetsis's team AND 5/6 of N's team. Like I'm not even kidding. He kicked so much ass it isn't even funny. Crunch and Hi Jump Kick beat Cofagrigus, Hydreigon, Bouffalant, Bisharp, and Elektross. Hi Jump Kick missed and I crashed, almost killing me, then Seismitoad got a critical with Earthquake to seal the deal. N's Zekrom took out 4/6 of my team because of him Full Restoring twice. I finally killed it when I got a critical with Derp's Crunch while he was recharging from Giga Impact. The Vanilluxe, Klinklang, Carracosta, and Zoroark all went down to him. Only Archeops was fast enough and strong enough to kill him.

All in all, great game, Love my team, love the plot, and I can't wait to do that after-game stuff. So pumped.

[Chaoxys]

Dang, is it me or is Scraggy OP'd? I'm still using Scraggy with eviolite and he pretty much took on both N and the Plasma boss on his own.

You get like 3500-6500 if traded with a Lucky Egg. I got 6500 or so EXP from one battle with a level 33 things fighting a level 33 Audino. It's completely ridiculous.

[Adam]

Just beat the Elite Four, N, Ghestis, (the main game.) It was fantastic, probably the most intense Pokemon battles I've ever had, save for the battle with Red.

Team:

-Lv. 56 Krookodile
-Lv. 54 Archaeops
-Lv. 54 Throh
-Lv. 52 Emboar
-Lv. 51 Druddigon
-Lv. 51 Zekrom

It was absolutely hilarious how I caught Zekrom. Had Krookodile out, used Earthquake once, got him to low red HP, used one ultra ball, caught him. Great luck, made the end of the game quicker!

Either way; best game I've played in a long time. Can't wait to continue the adventure now.

yeah zekrom was way to easy to catch
I literally threw one quick ball on the very first turn of the battle and got him

also holy cow dex, our endgame teams our almost identical
I didn't use zekrom or throh though

[Chaoxys]

Yeah, Zekrom and Reshiram both have rather high catch rates since catching them is story related. The only way you can get away with not catching them is if you KO them and all your PC boxes are full.

[Kosheh]

Does EVERYTHING in this game have a hilariously high catch rate?

I've used like 2 Great Balls to catch stubborn Pokemon, but everything else is just fine in a PokeBall. I wouldn't be surprised if Reshiram gets in a Poke Ball.
Hell, I just caught a Excadrill on Victory Road using a Poke Ball and I didn't even put him to sleep or anything, wtf
And now a Durant. ALSO in a Poke Ball. DEINO TOO. SERIOUSLY FJDKFJ

Idk, I've found that a number of the after game area pokemon can be stubborn as hell. Also the 3 Musketeers can be a pain at times.

good, lol

I've got like 30 Ultra Balls from when Juniper gave me some plus all the Dowsing MCHN pickups

i'm so set for legendaries, lol


speaking of which, I feel I should mention that it took me only 1 Premier Ball and 2 Poke Balls to catch Victini. And it has a catch rate of 3.


when I say that I feel the capture rates in this game are ridiculously high, I'm not joking. seriously, my pokeballs should have sucked 6 gyms ago
