1. Battling Wild Pokemon:
* Choose areas with higher-level Pokemon: As you progress through the game, you'll encounter stronger Pokemon in different locations.
* Utilize EXP Share: The EXP Share item (found in the Game Corner) distributes EXP earned from battles to all Pokemon in your party, making leveling up faster.
2. Training with the Day-Care:
* Leave your Dragonite with a partner: The Day-Care in the Goldenrod City will train your Pokemon while you're away.
* The partner's level: The partner's level will influence the amount of EXP earned. Using a high-level Pokemon can significantly speed up the process.
3. Using Rare Candies:
* Rare Candies provide immediate levels: You can find Rare Candies in various locations, including hidden in the grass, as rewards for completing challenges, or even in the Safari Zone.
4. Leveling Up During the Events:
* Events in the game offer significant EXP: The "Pokemon League" battles and the "Elite Four" battles give huge amounts of EXP.
* Re-battles: You can re-battle gym leaders and the Elite Four for extra EXP.
Tips for Faster Leveling:
* Utilize EVs: EVs (Effort Values) are hidden stats that impact a Pokemon's growth. Certain Pokemon can provide specific EV boosts when defeated in battle. To find out how to gain specific EVs, you can use an online EV guide.
* Learn the right moves: Dragonite's moves can be very beneficial for battling, making it even more effective in gaining EXP. Make sure to train moves that match its stats.
* Utilize "Double EXP" items: During certain events or contests, you might encounter "Double EXP" items. These can be found in the "Pokemon Ranch" as well.
Remember:
* Be patient! Leveling up can take time, but using these methods can help you get the most out of it.
* Enjoy the journey! Battling wild Pokemon and training your Dragonite can be a fun and rewarding experience.
Good luck with training your Dragonite!
