Did anyone else have a godawful time grinding for the Elite 4

The trick is to grind all your guys 5-10 levels between each gym.
It sucks but if you don't then you end up in your situation, not underleveled but just sort of stuck.
5-10 levels per mon keeps you at a good pace.

I can't decide if I resent this expected grinding or the new baby difficulty in the remake more. They are both bad.

>>28561661
Since NPCs don't even switch you can just whack them with your stronk moves and be like 12+ levels under and still wreck them completely.

There's never been a game where you had to actually grind to beat it, even with a full party of 6. As long as you fight all the trainers you meet it should be enough. Yes, you'll be somewhat underleveled, but at least it's now a somewhat decent challenge instead of boring.

If you really have to grind, don't bother going back to any trainers. They're so low level that it's barely worth the journey. Just go to Victory Road. I'm at the same stage

Ever considered fighting E4 to level up? Works pretty well.

That's basically what I've been doing for 3-4 hours, still lose always to the third ice lady. I'm starting to think that the team I made years ago and abandoned is really poorly composed.

Sceptile
Relicanth
Absol
Altaria
Ninjask
Groudon

Why the fuck did I not raise a fighting type. Why

>>28561661
Dude, just use AR to give yourself a fuckload of Rare Candies.

>>28561661
you got an r4 card and an ds with two slots?

then edit your savefile and boost your pokemon how you like it

Daily reminder that if you can't beat the E4, you're worse at the game than actual children.

NPCs do switch, but regular guys only do so in certain situations.

In a HGSS randomizer, I had a fucking Mr. Generic Trainer switch out his Natural Cure mon once I put it to sleep.

Is this bait? Actually chuckled.

you can keep battling the double battle camera guy and interview woman over again. they follow a specific spawn point

No. You don't even need to battle every trainer to be at an adequate level.

No
Specially not in LeafGreen/FireRed that added the versus seeker and the Sevii Islands sidequests

And if you don't want to grind you can literally throw yourself on Lorelei over and over reaping the juicy xp that defeating at least one of her mons give till you're leveled enough to defeat her. By the time you can beat her and reach Bruno, it's a big fat sack of instant free xp leading you to Agatha, and from there it doesn't take long to beat the E4

Just keep running back and forth between Mawile and Verdanturf. There's a big chance of rematching trainers if you are near them.
