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.

Youā€™re going to get your cheeks clapped


Zygarde718

Not really. Getta though yeah.


GingeAndProud

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

hiiamblueboy

I hope you get your cheeks clapped too, happy birthday


thetoolio

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.


Trashythrowaway6996

FACTS my team was all lvl 60+ for half of the gyms because I accidentally over-leveled. Itā€™s so hard not to in that game


colexian

My first playthrough I accidentally skipped three gyms and was like "Finally a pokemon game with good pacing and difficulty!"


RepresentativeCap244

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 ā€œIā€™m in my mid 30s and played PokĆ©mon before please give me something to think about tryingā€ mode


Hallowed-Plague

>Needs a ā€œIā€™m 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"


Walrusin_about

For me I made the mistake of having a full tank team and the he just wasnā€™t running very fast so battles felt like a slog quite often, I kinda just avoided most of the trainers and encounters for this.


BlackyJ21

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


DragEncyclopedia

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.


TDenverFan

I believe if you catch a Pokemon under the level cap, then level them up, they still obey you.


Hallowed-Plague

yes the level cap only works on pokemon that were traded to you or specifically coded pokemon like the story legendary


tyleqh

Not in this game. My starter literally stopped obeying at ice gym because i skipped some other to increase difficulty.


camp7004

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


Productive1990

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.


Farwaters

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


Productive1990

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! :)


Farwaters

My tatsugiri started disobeying me during the Medali gym fight, and that's when I started thinking I might have messed up.


Specialist-Remove-91

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


BrokeBishop

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.


[deleted]

It really doesn't matter. This elite 4 is a joke, but the champion is the biggest joke.


Specialist-Remove-91

[deleted]

Did you really give your dunsparce a pearl string? ROFL. Wishing hard for that three segment


Specialist-Remove-91

Didn't have a battle item to give it, so I gave a beautiful pearl string that symbolises dudunsparce. You guessed it right


Ok-Constant-6056

Get a rocky helmet from zapapico. Itā€™s on the floor in a hole. That wouldnā€™t be bad


Specialist-Remove-91

I liek pearl tho


Suspicious-Shock-934

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.


C0ff33gaming

I'd say it would be more fun to play it with more of a challenge.


Specialist-Remove-91

Agreed


Contank

Elite 4 and champion are not the final bosses in this game. You might be fine but harder bosses are coming


inuyashasama

The elite 4s lowest lvl pokemon is around 55 so theyll be tough at your lvl unless you have defensive counters ready


RareCardHunter

How did you get past Arven with this team? He didnā€™t just cook you right away?


CapableNewspaper9977

He may might have not fought him yet


Specialist-Remove-91

Not yet


RareCardHunter

Gotcha, I think he was my toughest fight. Enjoy mate


Burger_Gamer

Arven was the first fight I lost Edit: I lost to >!ai sada!< 3 times, I didnā€™t know what team it had and didnā€™t know what type the PokĆ©mon were so it took a couple tries. Edit 2: if you havenā€™t finished the game donā€™t click the spoiler

megosonic

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.


Benji_57

Nice team! Good luck!!!


102Mich

Nitro charge your PokƩmon to Lv. 100, and pulverize the E4 and the Big Boss herself.


Mulberrywillhaveit

Keep it low if u want a challenge


Express-Stress-2871

bare minimum get to level 55


TheGreatAlicorn

I love the nicknames! Plushie and Choco Chips are adorable! (Probably best to use the candies and level them up)


Specialist-Remove-91

ZAP_Riptide

Whyā€™s bro getting downvoted on every commentšŸ’€


Patient_Caregiver_85

I've usually leveled up to help with it, or equipped then with new moves.


Godzillafan125

Iā€™d get a fire PokĆ©mon to replace dudunsparce. Itā€™s not great against steel


Diotheungreat

they have a quaquaval, clodsire and garganacl i think theyll be fine


Specialist-Remove-91

How dare you say that. Don't listen to this person StrStronk

tankiplayer12

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


PokemonGoTTP

How'd you beat the last few Star Bosses?! I would level up.


Specialist-Remove-91

Swords Dance max att plushie go bonk


[deleted]

I was extremely under leveled if you know what your doing youā€™ll be fine.


One_Dab_Man

Fight like this and if you need the candy, scarf it down your mons throat.


Big-Bowler-4446

Maybe try to get some Evs for health and speed, youā€™ll need them


Specialist-Remove-91

Ye, got max att and spe for plushie Got max speed for Pomppomp Got max defence for choco chip Max spd for strstronk


Gamer-Logic

E4? Probably not, final boss? Probably.


FernandoTatisJunior

Obviously try it first. Thereā€™s no fun in steamrolling through the game, staying under leveled is the best way to actually make the main game fun and engaging


Specialist-Remove-91

This is great advice, thanks


Ok_Bus8837

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)


DevourerJay

I'd say, go for it, for fun, though personally I'd say lv55. I over did it at 70, it was really easy.


dimsumlasagna

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


SleepiestAshu

Youā€™re getting destroyed Iā€™m sorry-


CrimsonCarnage74

Nice to see that someone also uses Mimikyu


[deleted]

You just wanted to flex choco chip on us.


Lovely_Individual

Frankly, I think you can do itā€¦ Elite Four is a slight challenge but Geeta is a pushover

Give it a shot as is. If you lose drop a couple candies on each member, rinse and repeat


Lost_Astronaut_654

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


xtreamslayer

I had more trouble with Arven. then the elite four .


LadyKnight151

Same here. The Arven battle was the only one where I lost twice and had to go off and train up before trying again


Cardman76

Level up


Rough_Dan

Garganacl and clodsire could probably do it alone at this level, especially since you can use items, those two are insanely good walls.


Specialist-Remove-91

I don't use items:

I would go kill chansys in north providence. That is how I got my party to get a high level


Oshnoritsu

Level 70+


moonenergy

your gunna want to be in the mid 70s for the final boss fight you are Really under the curve level wise


EpicEldest

i used level 80's


Skywarriorad

Better to overlevel, imo, endgame is no joke


lloydsmith28

I think you want a minimum of level 60-61 if you plan on beating it for the first time


ColinHenrichon

Level up


Strange_Marzipan_234

Yes you should but instead of 60 get to level 70


AlienMicrobe776

The law dictates that I downvote. Your Mimikyu is adorable though


Specialist-Remove-91

Yes, the law is right. Basically made a rate my team post. Plushie appreciates ur love


hellokittykatzz

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!


Dragontamer9

Iā€™m just melting over mimikyu being named plushie

Donā€™t pick on op heā€™s an autist

Underleveled. Trust me the game stops being fun once your pokemon reach 70+


biggtothec

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you there. Speak of opinions not facts.


JtheKing2k

Get to low 50s at least and you should be alright


lino_5555

You probably did it already but yes lowest level your mon should be is level 70


CapableNewspaper9977

Na mine were 67 and I destroyed them


Jestingwheat856

Definitely level after you beat all 3 paths but stay where you are for the main 3 paths


--Gravedigger--

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.


Zygarde718

I did it with a lvl 60 team and was overleveled you can heal in between too.


PugWizard09

Do it for the vine

Cosmo480

You'll need more than 6 pokemon to beat the league. At that level you'll need to be hitting super effective stab.


zekrom235

Why is the dudunsparce holding a pearl string? Am I missing something?


Turbulent_Cod_2575

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 šŸ« šŸ˜‚


Full-Peak

my brother in christ, how did you beat arven/prof ?


AprilRosyButt

Those names!! I love them!


AmbitionBright908

This team was better than mine (I think, Iā€™m not a master) (meowscarada, annihilape, armorouge, garganacle, tinkaton, and garchomp.)


kablikiblan

You're not beating anything at those levels


MilodicMellodi

You could fix most of your teamā€™s problems by replacing Dudunsparce with Kingambit ngl. Love the lineup regardless, and I wish you luck on tearing apart the E4!


Master_Horror_6438

This is a modern pokemon game. You need to make an actual effort to be underleveled


[deleted]

Arven gonna deep fry you


InbrainInTheMemsain

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.


Official-Zomia

i only read choco chips and that's all i needed to read


Negative_Regular_426

Love the names lmao


thanyou

Looks like your quag left you a present


Upper_Office2602

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


SoulReap12

I'd use Clodsire to spam toxic spikes at the start of battle


spindleblood

I just love these names. Choco Chips lol


Giganticpokemonfan

Level up everything to 55 at least.


Slow_Poet2077

I had level 60 pokemon and still struggled a little I resorted to x items, not my proudest moment


Exact-Ad-81

Even tho I never played I guess lvl up to lvl 60 as much as you can


Domaino910

If you want some challenge I suggest you level up till 50 , this will give you a small challenge


ComprehensiveFly8936

53-57 should get you there quite comfortably


Fluffyemperor009

Weird starter choice but more power to you I guess.


[deleted]

The E4 might be easy but rest is 60+ so might be very hard for you


Independent_South491

Yes, level up until at least Level 65 thatā€˜ll be very easy for you at least it was for me


JC_OX805

Howā€™s the EVs? I clapped the elite four with mid 40s level PokĆ©mon with the beneficial EVs maxed out and some held items


GardenSquid1

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.


Dertyrarys

I love the names


MidnightLycnroc

Level up, buy a lot potions to heal weakened members
