This works in R/S but not Emerald. Even on top of people randomly calling your Pokenav and stopping you, I'm about 95% sure it doesn't even give steps. Tested recently by staying near my system (and clearing the dialogue when I got calls) while this ran for about a day and didn't get any levels.
some tips in emerald, Plant plenty of leppa and sitrus berry for the elite four. buy super repel instead of max repel, 200 step is better than 250 steps because its cheaper
u know i did this over 15 years ago in the water spot. its an island where one corner had this glitch into a tile and was double the speed of the moving sand
Is railaboom with grassy tarain that heals every tern and life dew/orb that boosts moves but little file goes down any good like will the grassy tarain heal buff counter the life dew/orb penalty
I used castform once, on a Sapphire playthrough, but boxed it when I realized how utterly slow and incompetent it was during the Tate and Liza fight. If I remember correctly I got it to high 30s for level. Replaced it with a Gyarados.
I am very late but if you allow trade evolutions machamp will absolutely destroy the normal gym (mine one shot everything except the slaking who got 2 shot even with a low roll)
besides sludgebomb i knew about all of these and get them asap especially the exp share bc its so early you can get it in other games like gen 2 you basically need to have beaten atleast 4 gyms i believe and defeat or catch a shiny gyarados and then back track all the way to mr pokemon which is a long road if you dont have fly
Sapphire is by far my favorite Pokemon game because I had it from release all the way up into high school and it travelled from the West coast to the Midwest with me, and, yes I am very much dating myself here. It has been the only Pokemon game that I have maxed out the in-game timer and money counter in including multiple level 100 teams. Mind you, this was still in the early internet era where the competitive scene wasn't as accessible as it is now and information is as well known about the "best" teams; I was sort of just slogging through it. I didn't have a lot of money growing up and I became very attached to the mons that I captured and trained. Attached to the point in present day where I purchased a cart ripper to rip the save game (don't have a classic DS) and archive my team. But that, that's a whole story in and of itself. But I had to reply through a majority of the game recently, and I noticed many of the flaws that I ignored as a kid. Things that many would take for granted in the modern day with the way the current Pokemon games work. I still love this game, it formed a core memory in my mind that I will never forget. Like capturing Kyogre in a Net Ball or soft resetting on Rayquaza because he kept sweeping my team and finally capturing him in a Timer Ball in the basement of my neighbor's house in 2005. I ended up capturing the same teams and naming the same things I did when I was younger in Alpha Sapphire, making them the spiritual successors to my original gamesave.
