Rival Battle Guide
This section of the guide has been provided by rate_me.
In the Survival Area, you are able to battle your rival on the weekends. His Pokemon are in the upper 50s and lower 60s when you battle him the first time, and the levels increase by 10 for the second time. The Pokemon will stay in the upper 60s and low 70s until you defeat the Pokemon League 20 times. After you defeat the Pokemon league 20 times, your rival's Pokemon will grow another 10 levels, putting them in the upper 70s and the low 80s. Afterwards, the Pokemon don't grow anymore levels. The reward also increases by 1,000 whenever the Pokemon on his team become stronger. The strategy for the higher level battles remains the same as the strategy for the lower leveled battles, except for the need to have higher leveled Pokemon when facing him.
------------------------ ----------------------------- ----------
| Starter | Pokemon |Rewards |
------------------------ ----------------------------- ----------
| | Staraptor (Lv. 61) | -- |
| | Rapidash (Lv. 59) | -- |
| Piplup | Floatzel (Lv. 59) | -- |
| | Snorlax (Lv. 63) | -- |
| | Heracross (Lv. 63) | -- |
| | Torterra (Lv. 65) | 6,500 |
------------------------ ----------------------------- ----------
| A lot of Pokemon on his team lack physical Defense, so a |
| Pokemon with a high Attack stat could sweep his entire team. |
| Garchomp, Scizor, Gallade or Dialga would be excellent choices.|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------ ----------------------------- ----------
| Starter | Pokemon |Rewards |
------------------------ ----------------------------- ----------
| | Staraptor (Lv. 61) | -- |
| | Roserade (Lv. 59) | -- |
| Turtwig | Floatzel (Lv. 59) | -- |
| | Snorlax (Lv. 63) | -- |
| | Heracross (Lv. 63) | -- |
| | Infernape (Lv. 65) | 6,500 |
------------------------ ----------------------------- ----------
| The strategy for this team is similar to the one for the other.|
| However, this version also has a flying weakness so a Crobat |
| Staraptor, and Gliscor would be useful Pokemon. |

| Starter | Pokemon |Rewards |

| | Staraptor (Lv. 61) | -- |
| | Roserade (Lv. 59) | -- |
| Chimchar | Rapidash (Lv. 59) | -- |
| | Snorlax (Lv. 63) | -- |
| | Heracross (Lv. 63) | -- |
| | Empoleon (Lv. 65) | 6,500 |
------------------------ ----------------------------- ----------
| Once again, the rival's roster is similar aside from the change|
| in starter and a different combination of Roserade/Rapidash/ |
| Floatzel. Physical sweepers like Garchomp can effortlessly tear|
| through the team with Earthquake and Stone Edge, and mixed |
| sweepers like Azelf can hit with both special and physical |
| attacks. |

So helpful. Before i saw this i almost got pwnd.
boy did this come in handy
If you can score big multipliers, your pokemon don't have to be as strong. If you've EV trained for Speed, and Attack or Special Attack stats, it will be a lot easier. I chose Chimchar, and my team is Infernape, Crobat, Jolteon, Garchomp, Salamence, and Starmie. They have served me well. And they have some unexpected moves, with is a big help for competitive battling.
ID DOES WORK!!![color=red][/color]
To get all the starters you have to have two ds's and two pokemon games, when you do choose a starter, do the first gym leader, then trade it to your other game, then delete your game and do it with the other two and there you are, you have all the starters!!!
yeah i agree compleatly but there a breeze for me. warrior
