In a bit of a rut

EDIT: Completely forgot about the gym leader help thread. Sorry if this is against the rules. I'll paste this there.

 

Hey there. So, I'm on my second playthrough of the game (came back for E16) and I'm at Samson right now. He pretty much bodies my entire team, as I don't have a lot of good bulk, and I'm pretty vulnerable to fighting type.

 

Heres what I have:

 

PARTY:

Ampharos: Level 62

Modest nature

Plus

Amplified Rock

-Thunder

-Power Gem

-Signal Beam

-Electric Terrain

 

Braviary: Level 55 (Just caught)

Rash nature

Defiant

No item

-Shadow Claw

-Brave Bird

-Crush Claw

-Sky Drop

 

Metagross: Level 66 (Traded from old save)

Bold nature

Clear Body

TwistedSpoon

-Meteor Mash

-Zen Headbutt

-Bullet Punch

-Hammer Arm

 

Nidoqueen: Level 63

Lonely nature

Poison Point

No item

-Crunch

-Iron Tail

-Earth Power

-Shadow Claw

 

Chandelure: Level 63

Naughty nature

Flame Body

Charcoal

-Flame Burst

-Shadow Ball

-Dark Pulse

-Will-O-Wisp

 

Crawdaunt: Level 61

Naive nature

Adaptability

Blackglasses

-Crabhammer

-Swords Dance

-Knock Off

-Rock Smash

 

BOX:

Arcanine: Level 60

Docile nature

Justified

Charcoal

-Crunch

-Heat Wave

-Outrage

-Flare Blitz

 

Gardevoir: Level 47 (Been boxed since I got Metagross, could be very useful)

Brave nature

Telepathy

No item

-Calm Mind

-Magical Leaf

-Draining Kiss

-Psychic

 

Venusaur: Level 48 (Turned it into an HM slave when I stopped using it)

Calm nature

Overgrow

No item

-Strength

-Rock Smash

-Flash

-Petal Dance

 

Dewgong: Level 39 (Leveling it for a special attacking water type)

Bashful nature

Ice Body

No item

-Headbutt

-Aurora Beam

-Aqua Jet

-Ice Shard

 

So, Gardevoir is the only promising thing I can see. But I'm not sure how to level it. My team struggles against the clown with the repeatable fights, so its not really viable for grinding right now. Any suggestions?

Use two PCs, 6 trashmons on each and your 2 savefiles. Log on online on each one with a different username. Then trade Rare Candies from your old save to your new one by trading these 6+6 trashmons back and forth (as Rare Candy carriers). I did this to level up my pokemon for Charlotte, because it would take like 6 hours with Clown Indra...

Sadly, I no longer have access to a second PC, so this won't work for me.

Hmmmm, then I reckon someone helped you trade the Metagross... I assumed you did it yourself :(

Get yourself a Trick Room, honestly. As far as I recall Samson's mons are rather fast, except Conkledurr of course. If you can set up a Trick Room, there's more room for you to get your attacks off

@Buttulon You can catch hawchula in route 2 in the morning.I think you have TM nature power so teach it to one of your pokemons because nature power becomes acrobatics in the field.Acrobatics will always have 110 bp in that field.If you have a heart scale teach your gardevoir moonblast.If you had a crobat,you could have sweeped samson with acrobatics.
