ANSWERS

No wonder your havin' trouble! Okay, why didn't you evolve Mudkip? That would help out alot. Next, you should get a fightin' move on someone 'cause he's a normal type gym leader.

Or just pick up a fightin' monster. I started out with Torchic and when she evolves to Combuskin she's fightin' too. Train that Makuhita I guess or just evolve Mudkip which would be a great advantage. Give someone Brick Break. That's about all you can do.

Train your team a lot more. They should all be around the same level. Train them all equally.

Only keep the Mudkip and Kadabra don't train the others. You shouldn't have so many Pokemon at the begining of the game because there aren't that many good ones.

Plus you have to try to keep them around the same level otherwise you won't have a good team and then if you do keep them at around the same level then the levels aren't as high as they could be if you had a smaller team.

I suggest catching a spheal because walrein has high stats and is good against the elite 4. P.S. If you do get a walrein then keep body slam because it helps to beat Glacia in the elite 4.

P.P.S. You don't write P.S.S. you write P.P.S. It stands for post script btw.

Use Lv. 17 Combusken, use Double Kick.

Well if you're struggling with Norman see if you can catch a good strong fighting Pokemon (Makuhita, Machop, BRELOOM).

If you catch a shroomish in Petalburg Woods evolve it at 23 and you've got your self a strong fighting pokemon. I recommend you take out numel.

He may have some good moves but Slaking and Vigoroth could both take him out in 1 swipe.

I also recommend you train torkoal a bit because when he's a high level he can have a VERY good defence which could give you time to lay some damage.

I hope I've helped!

Okay, unless you want hydro pump and stuff quicker, then evolve Mudkip. Another level and you'll get Swampert. Train Torkoal, too. Slaking and Vigoroth have bad Special Defense. Torkoal has very good defenses, basically a tank. Kadabra will do well, but it might get O.H.K.Oed.

P.S. Don't bother about the above submittions that say about brickbreak or stuff you've never heard of, that's later in the game.

Maybe it would help if you evolved Mudkip to the last stage Swampert.
