Try having an average level somewhere near their Pokemon's?
Not true. I recently beat them with an average level of 44. If you have one in your party, Hariyama is perfect. It's super effective against dark, which it resists. It resists Ice via thick fat, as well as being super effective against it. Ghost is a problem, as is dragon, but Steven is a piece of cake. (except for Akarmory.) My main Pokemon I used were Hariyama and Claydol, but only because Claydol had Ice Beam.

Actually, type-advantage can be a far more useful factor than level. I've beaten Red (the final trainer in GSC and HGSS) at a 20-level disadvantage.

Hurp a derp, I tried to take on the elite four with my team of six pokemans averaging to level 42; it didn't go well.

Anyone have any advice? Btw, I've saved up all of my TMs except for Ice Beam (gave it to water starter).

Update 28: The Long Road to Lilycove
Recap: In the last update, Big Stu defeated Winona for the Feather Badge.

So, that’s about it for Fortree City.

None of our Pokemon can learn Fly right now…

Anyway, leaving this city.

It’s like the machine creates Kecleons out of nowhere!

Here’s a little cave…

Sunny Day is a move that causes intense sunlight for five turns. The sunlight powers Fire type moves by 50% and powers down Water type ones by 50%.

Further down Route 120, there’s also ceaseless rain.

Castform becomes a Water-type in rain!

Another obscure feature of Route 120, the Maze of Tall Grass!

Coveting the items of others is a skill!

I like how the graphics here look beautiful!

Another attraction of Route 120 is the Big Rock and its six smaller compatriots, Small Rocks!

I have zero idea why signs like this would be installed instead of an ordinary signpost.

Anyway, Route 121.

An evolution!

Now, what would a bug evolve into?

A dragonfly? Actually, Trapinch is based on the antlion.

Also, Vibrava has a Dragon move to go along with its Dragon typing!

[DRAGONFIREBREATH]

Also, guess what?

Dragonflies are totally capable of transporting people!

Huh, bunch of pirates. Apparently they’re going to a mountain pier?

A double battle here is a Skill-Swap-Slaking-Setup!

Anyway, Retro and Joe take out Spinda before it has a chance to Skill Swap. Imprison isn’t exactly a useful attack.

Hoenn’s Safari Zone!

Going in!

…So?

...I hate you all!

Anyway, here’s the attraction known as the Maze of Fences which Somebody Put Up For Fun!

And Shuppet, the second ghost-type we can encounter after Shedinja. Ghost-types are completely immune to normal and fighting-type attacks!

Shuppet resembles Castform, I guess?

Here we are at Lilycove City!

um.. what in the world do i have to do to fight the gym leader in heartthrone city?

i just talk to the guy and he's like "she's not here, loser!" and the reporters blocking the way to route 212 are like "yeah, and you can't come here till you win one of those long-arse near-impossible contests!" and my rival's like "here, have some free exp but a fierce wound to your only useful pokemon!" and then after the battle the guys who talk about eggs are like "hey that guy fought that other guy let's leave hooray for unrelated event flags!" and URGH it's just so frustrating!

They're blocking the harbor because it's illegal for a ship to chop one in half with its keel.

Hey guys, the reason why there haven't been any updates in quite a while is because of me having exams and revision to do. Anyway, now that my exams are over, I can continue, but there's another problem: VBA seems to have misplaced my save file for Emerald. So for now, I'm trying to play through the game exactly the same again, recatching the same team and all.

Edit: Things are going slowly. I've played for hours and I'm at Brawly now. I'm going to make another LP of a different game, and this one will officially be on hiatus. Sorry, guys.

Well, it was a good run while it lasted. To X-COM we go!

Ah, that's too bad Azzuro. Well, perhaps I shall follow along on whatever else you're doing.
