Help With Shade (I'm new :))


Groot

Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm new here, my name is Shannon. I just started this game recently, and it's a very well done game, I love the story line. However, it seems I am stuck. I need to get the old power plant on, but I can't beat Shade! His gengar always kills me!

My venasaur, primeape, and swanna are level 36 and my arbok and drifblim are level 37. Is it just that I need to level them up more? I beat Magma Gang just fine, and Maxwell's pokemon were a lot higher level than mine. I also had no problem with Florina (beat her on my first try, I was very proud since it's taken my brother forever to do so), and it only took my two tries with Shelly.

If it is that I need to level them up, can someone suggest the best place to do so?

Hi Shannon! Don't forget to go to the Grand Hall to introduce yourself!

The best place to level up is the place where you speak with the Meteor guy and battle Eclipse and Aster under the Grand Stairway, the place with the X door and the glowing walls.

I'd also suggest you to grab some Dark types, there's a Zorua sidequest in the magma hideout, there's a Houndour there as well, and dark is in general an easy type to find.

A cannot quite remember what gym prompts it, but you may be able to repeatedly battle trainers at the grand hall by that point. Another thing to consider is not only your level, but the EVs of your pokemon, you'll find later on that gym leaders have rather optimized teams so naturally you should try to do the same for your own. Anyway, good luck :D

Your team is good for early game, i guess your problem is the speed.

You can try fight the shadows in the railnet (swoobats), this little guys give you 1ev for speed.

Im not sure if you have acces to the wastelands, if so, catch a venipede with speedbost, learn baton pass in lvl 30 and protect in level 15 (and, by the way, there are inkays in the trees).

Good luck!
