i need help on getting past round one.

[Tai700]

i can't beat the first round of orre collosium and i need help big time.

 

[Uysl]

Meh. Let me get there and purify abot 2 or 3 new shadow pokemon then I can help ya.

 

[Pikamiki]

i know, i have the same problem too, and i even got my ev trained pokemon from my leaf green!

 

[rocky505]

im telling you they are very strong.

 

[DGCatAniSiri]

Yup. I went to Mt. Battle to train and bring all my battling Pokemon up to a single level (Sixty, since that was the highest level of them).

Fortunately, they had a strong enough move set that they weren't entirely up to sixty when I won the first round, but they were fairly high up there.

And for those curious:

;197; Lv. 60
;282; Lv. 58
;319; Lv. 50
;229; Lv. 48
;181; Lv. 47
;247; Lv. 47

However, I'm not going back to Orre Coll anytime soon...

First step: train all your Pokémon to level 100. Mt. Battle's Areas 9 and 10 are perfect for this, also you can find rematchable trainers with level 50 teams at the Outskirt Stand, Phenac City, Pyrite Town, Cipher Lab, and Agate Village.

Next you should make sure you have at least one Safeguard user and two Protect/Detect users. Safeguard will make a joke out of the first round, and Protect/Detect are almost required if you want to stand any chance of winning the later rounds.

if you have zapdos reteach it detect.
