  Mind you, Audino's only give HP EVs, so they're a bit useless for a pokemon who doesn't need HP such as sweepers.
  
  Arsik, still going to accept the deal? I only need the items endgame anyway.

  I'm thinking of trying to get a fighting Pokemon on my team but I don't know what to rotate out.
  
  I have the following Fighting Pokemon:
  Derpasaur - Scraggy (DON'T ASK WHERE I GOT THE NAME LOL IT JUST SPAWNED OUT OF NOWHERE! I couldn't the important "us" though to make it Derpasaurus.)
  Chuck - Throh
  
  Current Team:
  Sam - Servine (M) He's...my starter.
  Krupei - Unfezant (F) She's got Super Luck, Scope Lens, and Air Cutter. CRIT-O-RAMA!
  Pichi-hime - Audino (F) Quite a staller with her Attract.
  Kietsu - Zoroark (F) She's a clever fox.
  Vanilmirth - Duosion (F) RO on the brain when trying to name her. =P A tad faster than Munna, which is why I picked this up.
  Aopin - Panpour (M) Still trying to find the perfect time to evolve this guy.

  
  
  You have a Zoroark!? D:!!

  I have one too. I'm just waiting for Arsik to accept so that he can turn one of my female Zorua's into his sex slave and start mass production.
  
  It's moveset is quite bad until late, since all the early skills it learns are physical even though it's more special based.

  Yea, just spamming the Battle Subway with what little time my sister will let me use her DS, since mine's lost, my 3DS isn't coming until the end of the month, and she doesn't have internet access anymore, meaning she needs something to do with her time, meaning very little gameplay for me.

  ZOROAARRRRK!
  
  Does battle subway give exp?
• Arsik wrote on 2011-03-15 02:45
  No, it's just like the Battle Tower/Frontier of older games. Except instead of having your Pokemon fit into a certain level range, all of your Pokemon gets it's level set to 50. So whether your Pokemon was freshly hatched at level 1, or EV trained with perfect IVs and at level 100, they'll be the same level, and on fairly equal terms, in which case, the Pokemon with the better move set wins.

  To add onto that, the battle subway doesn't seem nearly as cheap as the old battle towers.
  
  like that one time in GSC, I was fighting a blissey holding leftovers. I managed to put it asleep, then it ate a berry and woke up. I raged.

  Team so far: Pignite, level 34. Sandile, level 28 (underleveled), soon to add Archen to my team (just got the fossil a few minutes ago, only up to that uh...theme park city). That icecream Pokémon will also be added (Val something...)

  Underleveled? You're severely overleveled, especially with a Pignite at level 34 when you haven't gotten the fourth badge yet.

  Vanillish. Speaking of Ice Pokemon. I should try and hunt down that cute little ice bear. He's rare this month...but next month he'll be very common. I'd rather get him now as a challenge :glare:

  >Vanillish
  pure ice type is the worst type ever ._.
• Kazuni wrote on 2011-03-15 03:03
  It's vanillite before vanillish though.
  
  
  Is there any other way besides Audino killing to train? *sigh*
  
  I'm looking at hours of Audino grinding already.

  Get a Chansey, evolve it to Blissey and have it a fairly high level. Or get a high level Blissey.
  
  Go find Dittos, have it transform to the Blissey. Have other pokemon beat it to death. More exp than Audinos.

  Lucky Egg + Fighting Trainers is excellent training, to the point where once I got the Lucky Egg, the only way I trained my Pokemon was letting the Pokemon I want to train hold the Lucky Egg and send it out to fight first. If it's weak against the trainer's Pokemon, switch it out, so that it'll get 1 and 1/8 of the Exp it would have gotten if it wasn't holding the Lucky Egg and killed the enemy itself. If you don't have any other trainers you can fight against, and if you don't really care for money at this point in time (later in the game, you can get $1.7Mil from selling some loot), then just choose the Pokemon you want to train, put it at the front of your party holding the Lucky Egg, and then switch it out at the start of the opponent's fresh Pokemon to grind it that way. Much faster than Audino grinding.
