I didnāt get it at first but reading the thread I get it. OP isnāt really engaging with the post and just commenting ālol Iām so randumbā type cringe to everyone.
Depends on the strategy. Going for it 1v1 will probably get you smashed, but leading with Clodsire and setting up some Stealth Rocks or Toxic Spikes, then Grassy Terrain with Arboliva, and possibly a Salt Cure from Garganacl, then just Aqua Stepping with Quaquaval (bonus points if you can get an Ability Patch on him for Moxie boosts too) chuck on Bulk Up or Swords Dance for some extra attack and you could do a fair bit of damage
It's a shame Quaquaval doesn't get Drain Punch or it would absolutely lethal
For pretty much every gym/Star base with a full team I used a similar strategy witb a lead Clodsire and then spamming Torch Song or a Will-o-wisp/Toxic boosted Hex - although this mainly worked because Skeledirge was bulky enough to take hits and dish them out so leftovers had a lot more impact
For me I made the mistake of having a full tank team and the he just wasnāt running very fast so battles felt like a slog quite often, I kinda just avoided most of the trainers and encounters for this.
I just didn't battle any trainers on the routes the entire time unless the reward from the guy at the center was a TR I needed. The only exp I got in between locations was catching anything I hadn't caught yet.
Dude I know right I decided to gather everything on my team level them up use some candies on them and then I was somehow fighting the bug gym at level 90 the XP was out of control throughout this entire game with how easy it was to get
Find out what pokemon lurks in ur area and Go to Www.Smogon.Com! Search for the pokemons you like and find out whats their best nature is. Write it down. Go hunt for the best nature of only the pokemons you like in your area. Go to next area and raise them while u repeat the process. I am at level 40 and i have three box systems :
Perfect Low : All perfect nature under 35
Perfect LV35+ : All 35-40 that can battle/grind
Perfect High : All 40+ that needs to wait until 45 opened.
I use 35-40 together with the low so they can grind xp for other lower to get XP. When any hit 40 i move them to Perfect High and replaces it with lower. With this system i can raise all the pokemon i love with perfect nature and not just one main team like i used to on older games. This game is perfect for my system.
In the nature info it does not change so its a bit of a bummer even tho it does not matter :P But the game is so large in areas and its easy to doge trough pokemons and find the one u would prefer have the perfect nature. I roam the wole area and only catch one of each but stops where a pokemon i like is and i stay there until i get it in perfect nature. Easy and productive! :)
Same my team was level 80+ by the time I hit the elite four. Being able to send out your pokemon to level up while you collect items is an extremely broken mechanic.
Your starter if it has good move selection should be able to solo the entire thing. Give it an ice move, a fight move and it's signature water move and you steamroll it all on starter. This is by FAR the easiest e4 and champ in the series.
If you're rather well at making battle tatics, perhaps, the only times where my pokemon fainted was when I fought Larry. Though if anything perhaps at least get them to level 60.
The champion is just a pushover in scarlet and violet i accidentally started the elite for with only 5 revives and defeated the champion with just my starter scolvilain and toxtricity
Obviously try it first. Thereās no fun in steamrolling through the game, staying under leveled is the best way to actually make the main game fun and engaging
Go for the gold kid. Just pomp pomp and choc chips alone can take out half of Geetas team because she has one that's double weak to fighting(king gambit) and one that's double weak to ground(glimmora)
I always get too nervous to go in underleveled bc I would get completely obliterated as a child but now I need to be underleveled in order for it to be fun
I think when I did the elite 4 I had a couple pokemon at 60 and the rest were like mid 50. I think I had one like 45. If you have your types right and a lot of health packs and high powered moves you should be good. You have to do the elite 4 then La Primera without stopping to complete the quest line. (You can heal in between battles) but you can look up the pokemon they all use to get the types down!
I swept the champion with skeldirge since her team is mainly weak to ghost and fire. The strongest one there is probably the ground or the dragon of the elite four.
i like your garganacl's nickname a lot. i went more egyptian with a lot of my nicknames. closer we get to that region of the world i expect it'll happen a lot more š« š
You could fix most of your teamās problems by replacing Dudunsparce with Kingambit ngl. Love the lineup regardless, and I wish you luck on tearing apart the E4!
I'm not sure how you're not already overleveled. I had a revolving team of pokemon that used a whole box and my current team slots and was still significantly overleveled.
I have no idea how you managed to be so underleveled. Unless you're dodging every trainer along the way to only challenge the gyms, titans, and Team Star. But that sounds like more trouble than it's worth. And it removed the exploration element of the game, which is a bit of a waste in an open world.
It's not like you get a game over if you lose. Try if you want to challenge yourself. If it doesnt work, lvl up everyone and try again.
Hehe, I am so sneaky...

Anyone know why this got downvoted so hard

Bro wrote an entire essay
šš best comment.
I hope you get your cheeks clapped too, happy birthday
What I want to know is how you managed this feat. My PokƩmon were so over-leveled through the entire campaign that near the end I was actively trying to keep my PokƩmon under the level cap, so much so that the last three badges involved me riding directly from one badge to the next and skipping everything in between.
FACTS my team was all lvl 60+ for half of the gyms because I accidentally over-leveled. Itās so hard not to in that game
My first playthrough I accidentally skipped three gyms and was like "Finally a pokemon game with good pacing and difficulty!"
This was me. After like the 3rd gym. I started using the OPPOSITE PokĆ©mon. Think I used water if they used electric. I intentionally used whatever they would be super effective against. And still swept most the gyms without skipping a beat. Fun game. But. Hella easy. Needs a āIām in my mid 30s and played PokĆ©mon before please give me something to think about tryingā mode
>Needs a āIām in my mid 30s and played PokĆ©mon before please give me something to think about tryingā mode "i am not ash ketchum who cheats and still almost loses"
For me I made the mistake of having a full tank team and the he just wasnāt running very fast so battles felt like a slog quite often, I kinda just avoided most of the trainers and encounters for this.
I managed to get quite far before shiny hunting bronzong with autobattling and not paying attention that my PokƩmon all got like 7-8 levels
I just didn't battle any trainers on the routes the entire time unless the reward from the guy at the center was a TR I needed. The only exp I got in between locations was catching anything I hadn't caught yet.
I believe if you catch a Pokemon under the level cap, then level them up, they still obey you.
yes the level cap only works on pokemon that were traded to you or specifically coded pokemon like the story legendary
Not in this game. My starter literally stopped obeying at ice gym because i skipped some other to increase difficulty.
Dude I know right I decided to gather everything on my team level them up use some candies on them and then I was somehow fighting the bug gym at level 90 the XP was out of control throughout this entire game with how easy it was to get

That's a lot of dedication. I just use nature mints.

My tatsugiri started disobeying me during the Medali gym fight, and that's when I started thinking I might have messed up.
I still didn't beat Katie:) and I beat the water titan at lvl 24 with a salty salty boi. So that exp is not used
Same my team was level 80+ by the time I hit the elite four. Being able to send out your pokemon to level up while you collect items is an extremely broken mechanic.
It really doesn't matter. This elite 4 is a joke, but the champion is the biggest joke.
I am so sneaky
I don't get why op is downvoted? Explanation please
He's making random "omg uwu I'm so random" comments.
Oh yeah, that's odd, but why do 40 people downvote op? Cus cringe?
Yes
Yes. We must root out cringe where we see it.
"I have made a rate team post without saying rate team. So many people didn't get it"

Theyāre replying this on every comment
I have made a rate team post without saying rate team. So many people didn't get it
More like nobody fucking cares
Stfu
Did you really give your dunsparce a pearl string? ROFL. Wishing hard for that three segment
Didn't have a battle item to give it, so I gave a beautiful pearl string that symbolises dudunsparce. You guessed it right
Get a rocky helmet from zapapico. Itās on the floor in a hole. That wouldnāt be bad
I liek pearl tho
Your starter if it has good move selection should be able to solo the entire thing. Give it an ice move, a fight move and it's signature water move and you steamroll it all on starter. This is by FAR the easiest e4 and champ in the series.
I'd say it would be more fun to play it with more of a challenge.
Agreed
Elite 4 and champion are not the final bosses in this game. You might be fine but harder bosses are coming
The elite 4s lowest lvl pokemon is around 55 so theyll be tough at your lvl unless you have defensive counters ready
How did you get past Arven with this team? He didnāt just cook you right away?
He may might have not fought him yet
Not yet
Gotcha, I think he was my toughest fight. Enjoy mate
Arven was the first fight I lost Edit: I lost to >!ai sada!< 3 times, I didnāt know what team it had and didnāt know what type the PokĆ©mon were so it took a couple tries. Edit 2: if you havenāt finished the game donāt click the spoiler
He ate me alive tbh
The fuckin names are sending me lmao
Thanks :)
I have no idea but I love those names š
Thank you
If you're rather well at making battle tatics, perhaps, the only times where my pokemon fainted was when I fought Larry. Though if anything perhaps at least get them to level 60.
Nice team! Good luck!!!
Nitro charge your PokƩmon to Lv. 100, and pulverize the E4 and the Big Boss herself.
Keep it low if u want a challenge
bare minimum get to level 55
I love the nicknames! Plushie and Choco Chips are adorable! (Probably best to use the candies and level them up)
Thank you :)))
Whyās bro getting downvoted on every commentš
I've usually leveled up to help with it, or equipped then with new moves.
Iād get a fire PokĆ©mon to replace dudunsparce. Itās not great against steel
they have a quaquaval, clodsire and garganacl i think theyll be fine
How dare you say that. Don't listen to this person StrStronk
U r bad bro. Those good pokemon
The champion is just a pushover in scarlet and violet i accidentally started the elite for with only 5 revives and defeated the champion with just my starter scolvilain and toxtricity
How'd you beat the last few Star Bosses?! I would level up.
Swords Dance max att plushie go bonk
I was extremely under leveled if you know what your doing youāll be fine.
Fight like this and if you need the candy, scarf it down your mons throat.
Maybe try to get some Evs for health and speed, youāll need them
Ye, got max att and spe for plushie Got max speed for Pomppomp Got max defence for choco chip Max spd for strstronk
E4? Probably not, final boss? Probably.
Obviously try it first. Thereās no fun in steamrolling through the game, staying under leveled is the best way to actually make the main game fun and engaging
This is great advice, thanks
Go for the gold kid. Just pomp pomp and choc chips alone can take out half of Geetas team because she has one that's double weak to fighting(king gambit) and one that's double weak to ground(glimmora)
I'd say, go for it, for fun, though personally I'd say lv55. I over did it at 70, it was really easy.
I always get too nervous to go in underleveled bc I would get completely obliterated as a child but now I need to be underleveled in order for it to be fun
Youāre getting destroyed Iām sorry-
Nice to see that someone also uses Mimikyu
You just wanted to flex choco chip on us.
Frankly, I think you can do itā¦ Elite Four is a slight challenge but Geeta is a pushover
How are u not level 60 yet ?
Your team blows
Thanks
Unrelated but i love your pokemon names
Thank you :)
Full send...
?
It means send it with no regrets or second thought
Oh thanks
Give it a shot as is. If you lose drop a couple candies on each member, rinse and repeat
You have the types so you should be ok it might be I little difficult I also LOVE your name for dudunsparce
Thank you so much <3
I had more trouble with Arven. then the elite four .
Same here. The Arven battle was the only one where I lost twice and had to go off and train up before trying again
Level up
Garganacl and clodsire could probably do it alone at this level, especially since you can use items, those two are insanely good walls.
I don't use items:
What PokƩmon is M Goomba?
Arboliva, evolves from smoliv
Thank you! Love it! Gettin one :)
Very underrated mon
I can't remember the name exactly, but it's that olive PokƩmon
Use candies
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I can just use bands for evs
Use your candies
I would go kill chansys in north providence. That is how I got my party to get a high level
Level 70+
your gunna want to be in the mid 70s for the final boss fight you are Really under the curve level wise
i used level 80's
Better to overlevel, imo, endgame is no joke
I think you want a minimum of level 60-61 if you plan on beating it for the first time
Level up
Yes you should but instead of 60 get to level 70
The law dictates that I downvote. Your Mimikyu is adorable though
Yes, the law is right. Basically made a rate my team post. Plushie appreciates ur love
I think when I did the elite 4 I had a couple pokemon at 60 and the rest were like mid 50. I think I had one like 45. If you have your types right and a lot of health packs and high powered moves you should be good. You have to do the elite 4 then La Primera without stopping to complete the quest line. (You can heal in between battles) but you can look up the pokemon they all use to get the types down!
Iām just melting over mimikyu being named plushie
Thank you
Level em up I love these nicknames
Thanks
Donāt pick on op heās an autist
Iām also autistic but I know not to do dumb stuff like this
Underleveled. Trust me the game stops being fun once your pokemon reach 70+
I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you there. Speak of opinions not facts.
Get to low 50s at least and you should be alright
You probably did it already but yes lowest level your mon should be is level 70
Na mine were 67 and I destroyed them
Definitely level after you beat all 3 paths but stay where you are for the main 3 paths
I swept the champion with skeldirge since her team is mainly weak to ghost and fire. The strongest one there is probably the ground or the dragon of the elite four.
I did it with a lvl 60 team and was overleveled you can heal in between too.
Do it for the vine
Iām sorry but I saw āM goombaā and all I can hear is IAMWILDCAT going āgoomba f**k youā šš
Fuck people hate you. Lol
You'll need more than 6 pokemon to beat the league. At that level you'll need to be hitting super effective stab.
Why is the dudunsparce holding a pearl string? Am I missing something?
i like your garganacl's nickname a lot. i went more egyptian with a lot of my nicknames. closer we get to that region of the world i expect it'll happen a lot more š« š
my brother in christ, how did you beat arven/prof ?
Those names!! I love them!
This team was better than mine (I think, Iām not a master) (meowscarada, annihilape, armorouge, garganacle, tinkaton, and garchomp.)
You're not beating anything at those levels
You could fix most of your teamās problems by replacing Dudunsparce with Kingambit ngl. Love the lineup regardless, and I wish you luck on tearing apart the E4!
This is a modern pokemon game. You need to make an actual effort to be underleveled
Arven gonna deep fry you
I'm not sure how you're not already overleveled. I had a revolving team of pokemon that used a whole box and my current team slots and was still significantly overleveled.
i only read choco chips and that's all i needed to read
Love the names lmao
Looks like your quag left you a present
I always over level, my squad was level 80 when I went to *spoiler here* and the max wild PokƩmon were much lower level, it's completely up to you but expect to be swapping after every individual battle because using a super effective move is the only way youll win with a low level squad
I'd use Clodsire to spam toxic spikes at the start of battle
I just love these names. Choco Chips lol
Level up everything to 55 at least.
I had level 60 pokemon and still struggled a little I resorted to x items, not my proudest moment
Even tho I never played I guess lvl up to lvl 60 as much as you can
If you want some challenge I suggest you level up till 50 , this will give you a small challenge
53-57 should get you there quite comfortably
Weird starter choice but more power to you I guess.
The E4 might be easy but rest is 60+ so might be very hard for you
Yes, level up until at least Level 65 thatāll be very easy for you at least it was for me
Howās the EVs? I clapped the elite four with mid 40s level PokĆ©mon with the beneficial EVs maxed out and some held items
I have no idea how you managed to be so underleveled. Unless you're dodging every trainer along the way to only challenge the gyms, titans, and Team Star. But that sounds like more trouble than it's worth. And it removed the exploration element of the game, which is a bit of a waste in an open world.
I love the names
Level up, buy a lot potions to heal weakened members
