#109493 Well I notice a lot of people asking what they can do to level up faster and what to train on. First I will give you some tips.
Tips
1. Never use rare candies on Pokemon 90 or below, they matter much more above that.
2. You can train your starter easily on any Magikarps below level 15.
3. If you want the best your Pokemon can do, you need to EV train it.
4. Try to go for bosses, if you get a lucky egg or exp share it can make your training that much easier
5. Make sure you know Pokemon weaknesses and what they are super effective against.(This can either mean a boss giving you a Lucky egg or you having to go heal and then the boss despawns.)

I used bulbapedia as my source for all of those.

Ok so now here is how you get training
Levels 5-12: Magikarps below level 15

Now the rest depends on your starter so I will do separate sections for fire,grass, and water.

Fire
12-30: Forest mostly you can go to plains after you kill a lot.(Not jungle because there are many higher levels there)
30-90: You can find lots of high level bug Pokemon and bug catchers in the Jungle biome.( This will work especially well after the 3.0 update)
90-100: Preferably rare candies, but if you are lacking the funds or going for EVs just train on what you need, if your not going for EVs just go back into the jungle

Water
12-90: You can stay in the desert for water types the whole time, You have a 4x effectiveness on Numels and Camerupts, and a 2x effectiveness on every other Pokemon in there, but watch out for high level Vibravas/Flygons.
90-100: Either stay in the desert or use rare candies to make it faster.

Grass
12-50: you should Only go for Geodudes and gravelers for now( In the desert.) You should be in a desert next to a ocean biome for training grass pokemon also. You can switch from killing water types and ground types.
50-90: You can train on about everything in the desert, but watch out for high level numels/camperupts when your in the 50s-65s. Also stay away from Magmars, they have some pretty powerful fire moves that will devastate you.
90-100: Either use rare candies or stay in the desert.


P.S I may have gotten some things wrong in the weaknesses chart, but I am going over them right now.
