Easy low level training lategame (woo!)

[CheckeredZebra]

A lot of you might think "No duh, I already know about this."

However, for those that don't, the Cerulean Cave Magikarps give you 2-3k experience per kill and don't know any good moves. Thus, if you have a level 10 and some potions (and you simply kill the poliwhirl/horsea with other pokemon) it's a fast ride to level 30.

If magikarp is level 41, then...(the level of your pokemon you are training is grey. Pick one. Left = without membership, right = with membership). This is exp per kill.

I've noticed that with this method, the exp varies depending on the Pokemon/level. For instance, I got 8k from a battle with my level 5 Beldum, and now I'm getting around 5k at level 18 or so.

..except when the karp uses Tackle and ko's your poke on the spot.

I've used my level 7 Scyther and level 5 Beldum. Karp's Tackle is a 2 Hit KO on anything, and there's where you use a potion. Other than that all it has is Flail and Splash, which do only a little damage.

But if it keeps using Tackle, you have to keep using potions until it stops. That's damn expensive, and also slows you down quite a bit.

It doesn't constantly use Tackle. It has Splash and Flail which are bugged as well. Sure it's a slow process, but it's worth it because in the end you'll gain a few levels if you have a low level Pokemon.

In regards to the "expensive" part, that's why this is for lategame; usually people have quite a bit of money.

^^^ding ding ding. Also, with membership in cerulean cave, you can get $100-$300 dollars per kill. Without it you still make up some of the expenses.

Also, I used a level 10 skarm, so tackle like 5-hit KO'd me. Wyatt used a level 7 Scyther and it 2-hit KO'd him, it really depends on the pokemon's defenses. A lot of the time, though, it also uses flail/splash, so it takes longer than you think.
(Also,it gets better as you level up, which is every 1/2 karp kills in earlier levels. Eventually they don't do much to you.)

Trained up a Swablu from level 12 to 45 this way, and it didn't die too quickly. If it wasn't a viable method I wouldn't suggest it. =P

The method is fine as long as your poke doesn't have a low base defense.

Thats sweet!, thanks for showing. Cant wait to try it!

I too have a good idea, but it envolves risk, use that low level pokemon against graveler there, most of times it self-destructs and at such low levels it gives around 300-400k exp, I hve got it 3 times for a poke nincada while training from lvl 7.

That's not exactly viable because most Pokemon would faint due to the Selfdestruct. It's easier just to use the method that Zeebrah has posted.

Actually, Self-Destruct has been nerfed due to excessive amounts of experience being gained from players who methodized switching with a Pokemon, and using self-destruct on another Pokemon so all of the experience was credited to the weaker Pokemon. Currently, self-destruct inflicts minimal damage, so training against a wild Pokemon who uses that move is not hazardous for that reason.
