Get a Level 100 Pokémon in the Pokémon Game

How to get a Pokémon to level 100. This does not always work, though.

Steps

  1. First of all, you need to decide which Pokémon to level up that high. Don't pick a Shedinja if you want to use it in battle against the Elite Four. Assuming attacks don't KO it, if it goes up against Hippowdon, Hippowdon's ability, Sand Stream, will KO it the next turn.
  2. There are certain Pokémon who level up faster than others. For example, Pokémon like Bellossom don't take as much Exp. to level up as Pokémon like Magikarp. In general, rare Pokémon and Pokémon who are weak and evolve into very strong Pokémon take longer to level up. In general Grass/Bug Pokémon and Pokémon who's stats don't have a giant gap between evolutions, like Zubat/Golbat/Crobat, take less Exp. points.
  3. The Exp Share is one item that you find later in some games, earlier in others. It also sells for 4900P. However, selling the Exp. Share is possibly the biggest mistake you can make in any game (next to using the Master Ball on a Magikarp etc.), unless you have 100 or something. The Exp Share is really the point of getting a Pokémon to lv. 100. Using the Exp. Share to get the Pokémon to Level 100 is just part of it. It is also used to help those "oh, they were really powerful when I used them, but now I caught new Pokémon when they were at, like, lv. 20, and I can't slow my team down to raise them" Pokémon get to higher levels.
  4. Always challenge yourself when battling in-game trainers. Battle the Elite Four and trainers around (not "in") the Battle Tower/Frontier. These trainers usually have Pokémon at at least level 46 (Sidney in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, his Mighteyena is the weakest Elite Four and Battle Tower/Frontier will be.) Once your team can beat these guys just as easily as beating a bunch of lv. 5 Caterpie, then focus on raising one Pokémon to level 100 instead of all of them.
  5. Using Legendaries can work...depending on the Legendary. The four Regis are bad choices for this, three of them are at lv. 40 when you catch them, and Regigigas, lv. 70, is pure normal and dragged down by it's ability, Slow Start, which is self-explanatory. However, the legendary birds Moltres and Articuno can help big-time, depending on how you raise them (Zapdos's only useful Electric attack is Thunder, which has terrible accuracy unless you waste a turn using Rain Dance). The Post-Game boss Legendaries (Heatran, Mewtwo, etc.) and/or the third version superpowers (Giratina for D&P and Rayquaza for Ruby and Sapphire) and the Duo version superpowers (Groudon and Kyogre for Emerald and Dialga and Palkia for Platinum) are usually strong and start off at a high level. Also the Cheat Legendaries Darkrai and Shaymin are useful, but they start out at a low level. Arceus, will definitely be of help.
  6. Teach your Pokémon some good moves. A level 100 Magikarp is useless if all it knows is Splash. Also, even Arceus can be non useful. If you teach it Hyper Beam, Focus Blast, Psychic, and Recover, your opponent could have a level 1 Spiritomb and guess what? You can't even damage it. Teaching balanced moves is key. Don't teach a Pokémon Earthquake and Toxic, because many Pokémon who have Levitate or are Flying are either Poison of Steel. Don't teach a Pokémon Fire Blast, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, and Imprison for the fear of a Snorlax with Thick Fat. Check every Pokémon in the world and see if your moves aren't going to do anything against it. For example, there is no Pokémon who can easily survive the four moves: Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Surf. Finding a Pokémon who can know those moves isn't hard, ex. Snorlax, Rhyperior, Dragonite, and Gyarados.



Tips

  • Do not waste even 1 rare candy unless your Pokémon has earned an Effort Ribbon. It will not be much of use to you because the Pokémon will have low stats. The Effort Ribbon means it's earned all the stat-raising EVs it can, so rare candies and daycare are now safe.
  • The most important part, as with any achievement is, have fun. Don't be a slave. Don't focus on going from level 67 to 100; focus on getting to level 70, then 75, etc. Also, the gap from level 99 to 100 is actually quite small in some Pokémon. So, if you get a Pokémon to level 99, you've pretty much got it.
  • Using a traded lv. 100 Pokémon to get you your first lv. 100 battler is not a bad idea. However, if it is a downloaded Pokémon such as Mew or Celebi, be careful. Sometimes, if the downloading was unauthorized by the actual company, then it could corrupt your file.
  • If your Pokémon has earned an effort ribbon, save your Rare Candies for its highest levels. Pokémon need more EXP to level up at higher levels, but a rare candy always raises one level.
  • Using a whole team of Level 100 Pokémon is definitely an achievement. However, you don't need the best team ever to do good in battles.

Warnings

  • The only warning is that challenging too many tough trainers could lead to a loss. Take a break after a while!
  • Do not trust all the GameShark codes! They could corrupt your game, especially the Gain 5000 Exp cheat. Try them at your own risk.
