Hey guys I started playing like 3 days ago. At the moment I am stuck on Blaine, and since I am stuck I might as well get some things covered in this post I was curious about.
So first Blaine, I have a poliwhirl and Garados..but they dont seem to be able to beat all his pokes sadly..Poli seems really weak compared to my garados..I guess its a low IV one..I caught it for the purpose of defeating brock way at the start (had charmander as first pick xD)
With that said can someone explain IVs to me and how to level them up (EV leveling?) I haven't played any of the pokemon games since gold and silver and if those were a thing then I didnt know about them..
Now I can get to like..Blaines Charizard..but thats when I lose. Garados is usually down or almost down by then (Rapidash bounce is killing me..) and poliwhirl is dead at the start due to Thunder Fang and hes weak anyway..
My team (pokes level 45+) are Haunter, Gara, Poli, Charmelon, Raichu (evovled before I knew thunder was unlocked @ 58, so..kinda meh) and an Onix I am currently trying to level (38 atm)
Besides help with Blaine..I am also a member..but I haven't seen a single shiny pokemon nor do I know where the "member areas" are..I am assuming shinys are either super rare or only spawn in those areas ?
