Training

[Blazennight283]

I've been having trouble with Samson because of how low level my Pokemon were, can someone tell me a good place to train other than the crustless as they take a lot of time.

Considering that you're locked out of the Pre-Agate area, you don't have that many options. You can train in the route 2 area where you are now, and you could try entering Ametrine Mountain from the north end of the route. The mountain might have a few higher leveled pokemon

They are actually the best option imo.

Maybe you can do what I did. Spend all your money in items at the circus, (try to spend it in useful things) then battle Samson. Most of the time you will be able to defeat 2-3 of his pokemon so yours will win exp, it doesn't matter if you lose, since you won't lose money and the exp is good too.

Agree'd in reborn often the best way to grind is by taking heavy losses on the gym leaders just to level up your pokes, its also a good way to work out your strategy on how to defeat them, Okay its not the most (ummm i gonna say) honerable way to do this but if your struggling its never gonna be looked down on reborn is made to challenge you

Just kill that crab pokemon over and over. It automatically appears once it's dead and should give 1.7k+ exp or more depending on your pokemon.

There's a point in the game (might be agate, not sure) where you don't even lose money when you lose to gym leaders so then there really is no drawback.

You also can always go to route 2 and grind on the crustle caves. They always respawn and they give a decent amount of exp. Also in route 2, you can get some flying pokemon to help, like rufflet and Hawlucha in the morning
