Level Up in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Need to level up your Pokémon quick? Use this guide.

Steps

  1. Put two of the Pokémon you wish to level up in the daycare.
  2. Put two level 70-100 Pokémon in your party.
  3. Get four Pokémon that are weak and you want to level them up.
  4. Give them Exp. share. If you don't have enough, then start by training one of them, and then switch every time you finish a battle. Easier target is Elite Four since you got two level 100 Pokémon.
  5. Go to Stark Mountain or Turnback Cave with a level 100 Water type Pokémon and an exp. share on the Pokémon you are raising.
  6. Eterna Forest is a good spot to train with Cheryl. You get more than 200 exp each battle and a full heal. It's a good spot to train for Gardenia.
  7. Wayward Cave is a good spot to train with Mina. You get more than 200 exp each battle and a full heal. It's a good spot to train for Mina.

Alternate Method

  1. Buy full restores, revives, max potions, etc., until you don`t have money or you can't`t buy more things.
  2. Talk to the guy in front of the door to go to the elite four and beat your rival.
  3. Go and try to beat Aaron.If you beat it beat Bertha and etc.
  4. You can give an EXP. Share to your low level Pokémon and go To Victory Road and the Elite Four and keep battling to get your Pokémon's LvL up.

Alakazam Strategy

If you're looking to beat the entire elite four with one Pokémon so you can train 5 at once, just raise a level 100 Alakazam with:

  • Energy Ball or Grass Knot (for Bertha & half of Cynthia's Pokémon)
  • Shadow Ball (for Lucian)
  • Fire Punch (for Aaron) (learned through breeding)
  • Psychic (should still knock out most of Flint's and wreck Lucario)

Tricky Pokémon that could give you trouble:

  • Driblim- Use Shadow Ball!
  • Girafarig- Energy Ball him a few times
  • Spiritomb- Energy Ball him a few times (Don't use fire punch for these two because Alakazam's Sp Attack is way higher than his Attack)
  • Garchomp- Just use psychic, but if you're out of PP use Energy Ball
  • Also, have him hold leftovers if you've got it. This leveling strategy works perfect if you do it right.

Tips

  • Have Pokemons at least level 48 for Cynthia.
  • Sometimes,you can beat the elite four unintentionally. You beat Lucian and then to the champion Cynthia while you were expecting to train!
  • If you have an exp. share put that on your weakest Pokémon. Then go to the Elite Four and start battling with your strong Pokémon and the weak Pokémon will level up like crazy when you beat a single Pokémon of the Elite Four.
  • Be sure to keep at least 1 status affliction Pokémon on you, more preferably sleep or confusion due to the fact that they have either a guarantee or chance to not attack correctly.
  • Have a Pokémon that you don`t care too much to send him while you restore other Pokemons

Warnings

  • If you put Pokémon in the Daycare, you'll have no control of them learning moves.
  • Watch out for Champion Cynthia, she's hard sometimes.

Things You'll Need

  • Level 70-100 Pokémon (x2)
  • Revives and Hyper Potions (Optional)
