[List of Common Global Questions for New Players (Updated 25/01/2022)]

Reasons why I created this guide: 

• To offer help to all helpless newbies out there get used to the great and beatiful PokeMMO, of course.
• To let helpers send out help easier with just 1 link instead of having multiple links ready, or writing long answers.

Spoiler

• Also because some people just don't read a simple description on an item/simply too noob but keep asking so I make them look at this big guide instead, time to learn how to do research bois and gurls!

1. Before checking down below, I would like to say that you should really read chat carefully because one might already answer your question but you miss it.
2. When you intend to ask a question, it's recommended to state which region you are in so that helpers dont need to waste time asking where you are, especially in global chat with 20s cooldown.
3. It is also recommended to read the description of an item, a move, anything. It's possible for it to be different than what you used to know in normal games.
4. Pokedex is really awesome to use, let's keep easy questions about pokemon way ~~
5. If you don't find your answer here, it means your question only need a short answer or need special intensive care.

How do I go to other regions? Where is Johto?

Spoiler

When you achieve 4 Gym badges in the region you chose to start in the beginning, you can go through these ports listed below to change regions:

Talk to the NPC with a Chatot (a bird pokemon) next to him/her.

• Kanto - Vermillion - from Pokecenter, head South.
• Unova - Castelia - 2nd lane from the left, from Pokecenter, go right, then down.
• Hoenn - Slateport - from Pokecenter, go North East, enter the building.
• Sinnoh - Pastoria - from Pokecenter, head South.

The Gym badge requirement only applies on the original region you chose. 

In other regions, you can go to different regions as long as you reach the port (no requirement). 

To go back to your original region (because you accidentally move to a new one), you can talk to Mom after you have picked your starter.
If you have 2 badges or more in the new region, Mom will only heal you, so must head to the ports stated above.

• Johto is not implemented yet. Sinnoh came out in early 2020.

 

What happen when I move to the new region? /Do I get to keep all items and pokemons when I move to the new regions? How can I go back?

Spoiler

Yes you will keep all the items and pokemons when you first move to a new region. Your pokemons will be stored in the PC for that time only. Also, HMs of other regions will not show up.

Each region has different Gym badges, so each region has a different level cap. Meaning you cant use your level 100 in Unova in Kanto if you haven't completed Kanto.

To see your level cap, press C to open trainer card, or look for trainer card option on Android.

How does day care work? Where do I get Ability Pill?

Spoiler

The daycare lady at the reception only level up your pokemon with the cost = $1,000 (base fee) + $1000 for every level up counting from the original level.
The daycare works similarly to that of an Exp.Share, where the Pokémon you leave in there receive 20% EXP of all battles you get in the region the daycare is located.

The lady at the table sells Power items (which are used to breed) and Ability Pill (change between 2 NORMAL abilities)

The old man outside day care does the breeding job, the breeding happens INSTANTLY, both parents will be gone, and you get 1 egg.

Egg is time based, 5 minutes to hatch, 4 minutes and 30 seconds if u have a flame body or donator status, 4 minutes and 3 seconds if you have both.

 

How does breeding work? How much does it cost? Do Power items help with EV training?

Spoiler

Please refer to this guide: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/49440-the-breeding-guide/ by @Gilan.
or https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/132652-the-ultimate-breeding-guide/ by @davidgozlan1555.
or https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/117438-simple-breeding-guide/ by @Liper (very detailed)

There is an image in the below comment section that could help you to have a more vivid understanding regarding breeding steps.

Power items are now breeding items only.

Note: Since the newest update, the issue with keeping the OT has been easier. You do not need to have an OT female Pokémon to make an OT IF you have a history of OT that Pokémon in the past (for non-shiny). If the Pokémon has green border in the PokéDex, it means you OT'ed this species before, and you can completely by non OT ones on GTL to make an OT one.
For shiny Pokémon, you can still keep OT with male Pokémon when breeding with same species (i.e. Male OT Totodile x Female non OT Totodile) without the need to breed it with Ditto like in the past.

 

What IVs do I need for my pokemon?

Spoiler

If you are planning to do 5x31 (or 4x31 1x0 speed for some specific pokemon like Ferrothorn to boost its Gyro Ball move), just exclude the stat that the pokemon doesnt use (i.e. Machamp doesnt use Sp.ATK stat)

Otherwise just either ATK or Sp.ATK and Speed, decent for story play, gym run, etc. just not PvP.

 

Are 30 IV and 31 IV the same at lvl 50 for PvP?

Spoiler

This involves a bit of math:

The way IVs and EVs is through this formula : Math.Floor(base stat + IV*(current level/100) + EV*(current level/400))

Math.Floor means that the total value is rounded down to the closest integer number, for example: 50.5 or 50.75 will become 50 all the same.

Base stat is the original stat it would achieve at the level without any bonus from IV and/or EV.

In PvP, pokemons are set at level 50, meaning the formula is now: Math.Floor(base stat + IV/2 + EV/8)

As you can see, base stat is always an integer so it doesn't really contribute to the explanation of why 30/31 matters, so let's talk about IV/2 and EV/8:

If IV = 31, IV/2 = 15.5, if IV = 30, IV/2 = 15.

Without any EV train or when EV/8 is an integer, the 0.5 value given by 31 IV will by rounded down, thus the stat will have same value with either 30 or 31 IV.

When EV/8 has a 0.5 or 0.75 (i.e. 50.5, 32.65, 104.75) then combining with the 0.5 given by the 31 IV, it will become a 1 whole value and won't be rounded down.

Example: My Volcarona

As you can see, my Volcarona has 31 IV and 252 EV in speed, following the formula: i get +15 from IV (value not shown as 15.5) and +31 from EV (value not shown as 31.5), if you calculate all the numbers shown on the picture, which is 105 + 15+ 31 + 15, you would get 166 speed, but instead i get 167, that is because the overall stat is only rounded down after the total is added up, not before the calculation. 

EV does not need to be 252 to add up with 31 IV, it can be 100, which yield 12.5 bonus and still add up perfectly with 31 IV.

Save money by breeding 3x31 2x30 instead, 30% cheaper than making 5x31! And no one cares about 5x31 flexing!

 

How can I get my pokemon to follow me? It says it's shy.

Spoiler

You need a follower mod for this issue.

Please refer to this guide, which I am using: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/100899-mod-generation-5-follower-sprites-v20-updated-for-2020/ by @TooManyLuigis.

How do I get a certain egg move on my XX pokemon? Does it stay through breeding?

Spoiler

Personally I use Pokemondb.net for these stuffs. I type in the name of the pokemon, scroll down to egg move list, click on the link, then find the move that you wish to get transfered, you will get the list of pokemon that can be bred with the target pokemon to get the egg move.

Target pokemon must be a FEMALE and the pokemon with egg move must be a MALE, because female decides the species of the egg.

Egg moves have the most priority over HMs and TMs moves, and HMs/TMs have priority over level up moves. So yes, it will stay through breeding with other egg groups, as long as you keep the egg the same species as your target pokemon. Other egg groups might not have the move in their learnset and will erase it. Check the move list of the child before continue breeding.

What EV should I train on my pokemon? How do I reset it?

Spoiler

Typically, if you open the pokedex and check the pokemon's base stat, you have a rough idea of what you should train for.

Or you can use Smogon (BW generation) to get the idea of the build. For example: https://www.smogon.com/dex/bw/pokemon/reuniclus/

You can also use https://calc.pokemonshowdown.com/?gen=5 which uses smogon build, you can have a damage simulation of your build, you may need to adjust the power/ability to be the same like PokeMMO.

Or you can google "Best moveset for XX pokemon" and select the link for pokemondb site.
You can reset EVs with berries: Pomeg - HP, Kelpsy - ATK, Qualot - DEF, Hondew - Sp.ATK, Grepa - Sp.DEF, Tamato - SPEED. Each berry cut down 10 EV.

Where do I find XX items? (potions, balls, TMs, Heart Scales, Rare Candies, Leftovers, etc.)

Spoiler

If you have played Unova, good for you because every common items (except cosmetics) can be found in Rt 9 Unova Super Mart.

If you haven't, too bad, go search other guides ?

Otherwise, you can always search on GTL, generally all items with price mark on them can be found in marts, but some can only be farmed (i.e. Heart Scales, Rare Candies).

Please refer to this guide if you want to find TMs, HMs: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/56005-updated-all-tm-and-hm-locations-for-all-regions/ by @Bestfriends.

 

 

Where to find cosmetics/vanities?

Spoiler

Most common cosmetics can be found here: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/85492-finding-cosmetics-guide/ by @RussHobbs.
Any cosmetics that aren't shown on the guide can be found on GTL.

Where to find Choice items/Eviolite?

Spoiler

Kanto/Hoenn Battle Frontier or Nimbasa Underground Train (the Grand Building in the middle of Nimbasa, any lane), and other places but I dont recall.

I'd highly recommend you to buy on GTL because it's cheaper than using straight BP. 9800 BP is equivalent to $133,333 in cash, while Choice items/Eviolite are 120k and cheaper on GTL.

Why can't I sell my Rare Candies/TMs on GTL?

Spoiler

Because you have picked those up in storyplay (through Itemfinder, on the ground, given by NPCs)

Only TMs obtained from events, bought from marts can be sold/traded. Tradeable/Sellable Rare Candies have to be farmed also.

 

How to do price check on my pokemons?

Spoiler

Search for a similar pokemon on GTL, then decide your price. focus on the high IV, people dont care about low IVs unless all IVs are above 25 not including the 31 IV.

How to use Battle Points (BP)/Reward Points (RP) and where to get them?

Spoiler

Kanto/Hoenn Battle Frontier or Nimbasa Underground Train (the Grand Building in the middle of Nimbasa, any lane), and other places but I dont recall to use BP.

You can get BP by winning Battle Frontier (Kanto, Hoenn), beating E4 (win all of them incl Champion), or through PvP ranked matches (fastest method, if you win).

If you want even more in-depth detail about BP and what you can buy with it, please refer to this guide: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/119855-coin-and-battle-point-exchange-rates/ by @Bestfriends. Hoenn's Secret Base Decoration items can be found in the guide also.

 

You get RP by using in-game money to buy vouchers on GTL, base price vouchers are listed below:

 

100 RP - $200k

500 RP - $1m

1,000 RP - $2m

Prices can jump pretty hard during global events like the recent Lunar New Year event where it jumped 50% in price.

You may also do donation (click on the gift shop icon to get to the donation site), and get RP.

At the bottom right corner of the Gift shop .

 

I just bought items/pokemons on GTL, where did they go?

Spoiler

If you buy stuffs on GTL while not using the PC in Pokecenter, they are in your Mail and you have to visit your PC to get them. Otherwise, items will be sent directly to your bag, while pokemons are sent to your party (if your party is full, it will go to your PC instead).

Where to I find a XX pokemon? When does my pokemon evolve?

Spoiler

Hopefully you have seen that pokemon before, you can check in your Pokedex. Only ask if you havent seen one before.

 

Can I see how many pokemons I can encounter in a certain area?

Spoiler

No, dont be a perfectionist, you can always get the same pokemon somewhere else, most of the time.

 

Where to find Rotom in Old Chateau? Where do I change Rotom's form?

Spoiler

Any time, just walk around, rare encounter rate. The one in the TV can't be traded, and used to breed.
You can Rotom's form after Giratina event. Fly to Eterna, head North, cut the tree, enter the building, go left, face upwards, talk to the wall, the hidden room will open to change form, cost $25k.

The wall used to be at the red spot I put on the picture.

 

Where to find Zorua?

Spoiler

In Lostlorne Forest, you call a horde with Sweet Scent, which will call either Petilil or Venipede hordes. You have to deal damage all pokemons to see if there is 1 Zorua disguising. 1 Zorua might appear in a horde of 3.

Where do I find Feebas? How to evolve Feebas?

Spoiler

In their places shown on Pokedex, just that only specific tiles can have Feebas, so you have to try out each tile. These tiles will change places every 45 mins.

You evolve Feebas by buying 11 Blue pokeblock Plus (not the normal ones with "Plus" in its name), then 1 level up. Type in "blue pok" in GTL to get the list. If you dont see it, it is because you don't have the corresponding pokemon rom.

 

What is the happiness to evolve certain Pokemons? How to increase happiness?

Spoiler

It's 86.3%, but 86% is fine too because 1 level up will let you have more than enough happiness.
There are many ways to increase happiness, but let's save time and effort with this method instead:
Check Pokemon summary, then go to the Information tab like an example below:

Then you try out 1 of these berries on GTL: Iapapa berry, Aguav berry, Wiki berry, Mago berry, Figy berry to see which has the flavor your pokemon likes.

If the pokemon has no flavor preference, then any of these 5 would do.
As mentioned by one of the commenter below, any berry will do as long as it is not the disliked flavor.
A berry can be used to increase or decrease happiness by a flat 10%, so make a rough guess and buy enough berries to get below 86% to avoid over buying.
Note: some Pokémon rely on happiness to evolve, you can use berries to reset the happiness bar so that they won't evolve as you wish.

What is pheno/phenomenon and swarm?

Spoiler

Swarms happen when you can see pokemons walking in otherword forms outside battle, you can go interact with them to initiate the battles. Max 4 mons in a swarm.

Phenos only happen in Unova, these include shaking grass, bubbling water, dust clouds, a shadow from the sky. They have unique pokemons you can't find else where like Emolga, Ducklett, and few others.

Phenos in PokeMMO are much rarer than in normal pokemon games.
Example of a swarm, where you can see pokemons walking around:

Example of a pheno (only in Unova):

(Shaking grass, Bubbling water, Shadow on the ground, Dust cloud from Left to Right)
It is a good gesture to announce on Global Chat so that everyone can get this opportunity!

Where do I get Johto's starters?
 

Spoiler

In Hoenn Safari after E4.

Cyndaquil appears in small patches of grass top most of area 6

Chikorita and Totodile appear in area 5, Chikorita in the grass next to the lake while Totodile is in the lake.

How do I do berry business? How to harvest seeds?

Spoiler

Plese refer to this guide: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/62262-the-berry-farming-guide/ by @xStarr.
Tip: put your watering can on your hotkey, so you can press the hotkey 1 time to water it, don't spam or you will flood the tree!
If you just want to plant Leppa Berries and don't want to read the whole guide (TLDR issue), then read the below shortcut, or else you can skip.
Buy <Plain Sweet Seed>, <Plain Bitter Seed>, <Very Spicy Seed>
Where to Plant: Unova
- Mistralton: Opposite direction of the Gym (72 concentrated plots)
- Abundant Shrine: 84 plots (slightly scattered)
When you talk to 1 of the plot, this appears:

Then you put in the 3 seeds, 1 for each into this, and tada you have planted 1 Leppa tree. Once you have planted the first tree, when you interact with other plots, the seeds will be automatically placed so you can just hit the confirmation button. Recommend to water immediately.
Water only 1 time,you will get to full 5 droplets even if you water from 1 droplet or 4 droplets. if you mess up and water 2 times, it's alright but don't do more, or u get a dead tree.

Come back to water after 9 hours every time you water it. Leppas can be harvested after 20 hours in real life time. The tree will die after 8 hrs, during that time, the number of berries will reduce slowly 1 by 1, so the earlier the better.

Each tree yields 5-7 berries randomly.

 

How do I farm Dittos? Where do I find Ditto easily?

Spoiler

Please refer to this guide: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/106710-money-guide-ditto-farming-2nd-edition/ by @Bestfriends.
If you suffer from TDLR issue and want it simple:

-Prepare lots of Ultra Balls/ Repeat Balls (better catch rate than Ultra if you own ditto before) or even Great Balls, like 200+ balls.

-Prepare 1 or multiple Catchers such as Smeargle, Parasect, Breloom with core moves False Swipe + Spore, can include Substitute:
    If you do False Swipe + Spore combo (like I do):

      Use Spore then False Swipe, then proceed to throw Repeat balls. If Ditto wakes up and transforms, use Great balls (save money a bit I suppose).
      Preferably use Parasect (with no killing move), so if Ditto transforms, it can't Spore you, or Kill you.
   If you add Substitute into the process:

     Use Substitute so that Ditto can't transform, then False Swipe then Spore, then Repeat/Ultra/Great ball spam, whatever you deem suitable.

     Preferably use Breloom with Poison Heal and hold Toxic Orb, so that your Breloom can heal to full HP after using Substitute.
How to add Synchonize ability in the catching? Read the link above ? (I don't do Sync ever)
As mentioned by one of the commenter, using Pokéball or Repeat balls for Ditto will be cost-efficient in a long run

 

What is Ditto Box that I see sometimes in Trade Chat?

Spoiler

You catch dittos and keep collecting them in your PC.
Occasionally, you get a good IV dittos, you pick these ones to se11 for a higher price, and all that is left is a full box of dittos with bad IVs (shittos for short)
Then you announce "WTS Ditto Boxes" on trade chat to do direct sell, $180k for a full box of 60 dittos, $3k each. You can put higher individual price if you'd like (but please don't).
   How to conduct the sale?
    You and the buyer meet each other in a Pokecenter (preferably empty, so it's easier to right click the buyer), and ask for trade.
    Every trade, you put in 5 dittos, and the buyer must put the money in (15k for example of each ditto cost 3k), complete the trade then repeat.
  How is this better than putting on GTL?
  You lose $1k GTL fee for putting on GTL. However, through direct trade, for a full box of ditto, you get $60k more!
  Ditto Boxes are always be sought for by egg shiny hunters, there are too many demands, but not many suppliers and that is because most players don't know how the business works.

 

How do I change hidden power type?

Spoiler

You can buy 40 gems to use on your pokemon to change the type (like using potion on a pokemon)
You can also buy Mysterious Gems (M Gems for short) and Items to craft the gems also:
For example:

• M gem+ metal coat= 10 steel gems
• M gem+ poison barb= 10 poison gems
• M gem+ nevermelting ice= 10 ice gems
• M gem+ miracle seed= 10 grass gems
• M gem+ charcoal= 10 fire gems
• M gem+ sharp beak= 10 flying gems
• M gem+ twisted spoon= 10 psychic gems
• M gem+ black glasses= 10 dark gems

ETC.

 

How do I EV train?

Spoiler

You will need a pokemon with Sweet Scent move, and preferably a pokemon with Teleport to move you back to pokecenter instantly so that it make the training quicker.
Then you should refer to this link to see where you can go train: https://forums.pokemmo.eu/index.php?/topic/77490-simple-ev-training-leveling-guide-using-horde/ by @Akshit.

["Enhanced Secret Bases"]

A good suggestion, might as well make a simplified top down building game to create a whole new base

["Trainer Abilities"]

Tldr, tho I did skimmed thru these.

Pokemon's abilities work by being in battle field, or 1 time like intimidate every time u switch in, or 1 time and lasts for many turns like weathers. In the end, they still die out. Your suggestion is about something permanent in the whole battle, and no counter, like switch in to cause confusion. I guarantee you won't like that during gym run when leaders have those ridiculous abilities. This is pokemon game, not an RPG game where u have your skill tree and summon beasts.

[GTL Rework]

I fully support this suggestion.

 

Another idea that may work would simply to be able to have multiple GTL windows open at the same time.

For example, there are times when I need to buy water A male breeders but I open GTL and see dittos being listed for cheap every 30 seconds or so, and I want to keep the GTL window open with the ditto filter on set to lowest price and keep refreshing it and buying quickly when one is listed. While I'm doing that, it's the ONLY thing I can do, but I know that I still need to buy those water A breeders.

In this example, It would be nice to be able to keep 2 windows open at the same time and refresh 1 every so often to scout and quickly buy cheap dittos, while also having another window open for anything else I'm buying at the same time, such as water A breeders.

I don't really see a negative to the ability to have multiple GTL windows open at the same time - especially if we can minimize them as the OP is suggesting. Its such a pain that the filters clear every time we close and re-open GTL.

I feel like looking at my google chrome when reading this, many tabs on it ~~

[Breeding shinies together for higher IVs]

I have always thought when breeding 2 shinies together 2 highest IVs will auto transfer, then u can use items for other 2.

Can anyone explain in detail how to make 5x31 shiny plx?

If you are talking about OU PvP, I think you won't be able to stay 550 rating averagely. Any Rain Team can sweep this easily with no chance to recover. Also you have too many Physical mons, if Magnezone is down, a Def wall will wear you down.

["Follow" to follow a friend automatically]

Maybe you should think deeper about your suggestion, pros and cons, how it actually affect community as a whole, etc. instead of any thoughts that suddenly pop in your mind. I'm sure I have given my personal opinions (which I deemed logical) to your suggestions. 

 

It's good if you can get some feedback, but don't be upset if there isn't because the devs aren't really asking for any.

["Follow" to follow a friend automatically]

PokeMMO get not a single useful point from this suggestion other than it being used to flex harder. Usually no one spare a 2nd glance at the flex so this is only serve to satisfy one's ego.

New players join everyday, meaning a new flow of "donation" all appear even if there are some who quit the game. So i don't see it ending any time soon.

It would be interesting if possible to trade RP from other players (always player to player) with common gold, with just a click, throughout a platform like Poke Center PC.

 

For example:

(Default 1RP=2K)

When it is 1RP 1.9K I buy and when it is 1RP 2k I sell.

 

Well there are RP vouchers to do that

[Gym Rebattle Setup for all Regions (Updated 19/12/2021)]

Hi there,

• Introduction

Spoiler

Welcome to my gym run guide among the "gym run guides" that seems similar to each other. I would like to offer my new team setup that I have been continuously using for 3 months straight. I believed it would be able to face all kind of gyms' teams.

 

•  New Update (19/12/2021)

Spoiler

- Updated "For whoever that wants to follow my guide"

>Updated Unova + Kanto

+ Kanto: Psychic Gym: Lead Pokémon: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Hydreigon (Hypervoice) -> Typhlosion (Eruption) + Toxicroak

 

• For whoever that wants to make different team setups

Spoiler

What you will need typically:
-Typhlosion + Eruption
-Weather setter
-Powerful offensive Pokémon with strong AOE moves but don't or weakly affect your allied Pokémon

Goal:
-Double AOE moves so you can sweep over Focus Sash holders/Sturdy Mons without their retaliations.
-Try to reduce number of texts appearing (optimal), such as Moxie activation, Life Orb/Leftover announcements, etc.
-Try to reduce number of times getting to Pokécenter to heal (by planning the next gym you are confident to fight with your current party's PP, Health)
-Remember the paths to go through mazes quickly.

In summary, no matter what team you use, below are the issues you should pay attention to as you do gym run:
- Long fight against NPCs: long turns mean wasting more time for move animations and texts, the effect of these delays will slowly snowball if you keep getting these against most of the NPCs. Thus, your main job is to defeat your enemies as fast as possible, so their Pokémon can't retaliate most of the time (no texts from them).While it's tough to care about whether you should use Super Effective or not against these "boss-like" NPCs, against normal NPCs, you can safely choose moves that deal neutral damage so no Super Effective/Not Effective text appears, this saves time in a long run.
- Heal too many times in PC: It's apparent that healing in Unova and Sinnoh takes away lots of your precious time, even Kanto and Hoenn healing take away 4-5 seconds from entering the entrance to getting out of the entrance fully healed, when you can use this time to run to your next target instead! That's why while doing combat against the NPC, you should know who you are going for next, how much HP left on the mons that are in charge for that NPC and how many PP left. Preferably, your team should be more or less used overall (not 2-3 used and the rest unused) before you go heal unless you have no other choice. Never push yourself to use unfavorable mons to continue fighting if it makes the fight lasts longer.
- Pokémon Ability Activation: I have seen some players recommend Krookodile or similar Pokémon with constantly activating throughout the battles. In my opinion, I think that while the battle looks like it ends way early, I mean they sweep, all the added time more or less cut down the time that they potentially save, so mathematically they don't save much time at all. Also, not in every battle does they need the boost from ability, this results in a waste of time.

Main Team

Spoiler

 

1. 

Typhlosion @Choice Specs
Ability: Blaze

Nature: Modest
IVs: 2x31 Sp.Atk & Speed (preferably 5x31)
EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Sp.Atk/ 252 Speed
Only 3 moves are needed:
- Eruption (max PP up used to have 8 PP)
- Flamethrower (maybe 1 out of 20 gym runs would you use this)
- Extrasensory (maybe 1 out of 5-10 gym runs would you use this)

Eruption for everything in a brain dead way, even against water gyms (unless there is a Kingdra). Cut for the tree barring you from getting to Grass gym in Kanto (like who even buy Cut Ocarina).
If there is no Note that suggests to switch Choice Specs into Choice Scarf, it's to be understood that Typhlosion will have Choice Specs.

2.
Starmie @Splash Plate or @Mystic Water
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Bold
IVs: 1x20+ HP, 2x31 Sp.Atk & Speed
EVs: 152 HP/ 234 Sp.Atk/ 124 Speed
- Psychic
- Surf

- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Starmie was built tanky so that it can withstand Surf of other teammates + Earthquake from Toxicroak better. Also, it helps tanking super effective moves from opponents (a bit).
Mainly used for Fire/Poison/Rock/Steel gyms.

3.
Pelipper @Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
Nature: Calm
IVs: 3x27+ HP, Sp.Atk & Speed

6. 

Hydreigon @Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Modest
IVs: 1x25+ HP, 2x31 Sp.Atk & Speed
EVs: 6 HP/ 252 Sp.Atk/ 252 Speed

Best partner for Typhlosion with Hypervoice.
 

7*.
Gigalith @Focus Sash
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Adamant
IVs: 4x25+ HP, Atk, Def & Sp.Def
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Atk/ 6 Sp.Def
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Rock Blast
- Explosion

You will only need Gigalith after you clear all gyms + Cynthia, and only Morimoto is left.
Gigalith will only replace Typhlosion as lead against Morimoto only because even though his Pokémon can be swept in 1 move, they tend to have Focus Sash.

 

Unova + Kanto Route
 

Spoiler

 

Start in Unova: Flying -> Ice -> Rock -> (heal) -> Dragon -> (heal) -> Unova Cynthia -> (heal) -> Electric -> Bug -> (heal) -> Fire/Grass/Water -> (heal) -> Normal -> Morimoto -> Undella Bay -> 2 NPCs up North-> fly to Kanto
Then Kanto: Fire -> (heal) -> Poison -> (heal) -> Electric -> Psychic -> Water -> (heal) -> Grass -> Rock
Above is the worst case scenario where you need to heal more than normal, usually you don't need to heal this many times.
In the best case scenario, you have enough time to do 1 more NPC in Route 214 in Sinnoh, below Veilstone City.
 
The routes depend on HP and item being held of Typhlosion.

In Unova:
Flying/Dragon/Electric/Bug/Water:  Typhlosion (Eruption) + Hydreigon (Hypervoice).

Note: switch Choice Scarf to Typhlosion for Bug gym because sometimes there is a Durant with Choice Scarf, which can use Stone Edge to delete Typhlosion.
Note: If the Water gym leader has a Politoed, switch Typhlosion for Ludicolo.

 

Rock: Starmie + Toxicroak, usually switch out Toxicroak for Pelipper to cancel Sand Storm.
Note: if the gym leader has Gigalith + Aron (with Sand Storm) or Aggron + Magnezone, DO NOT SWITCH to Pelipper in first turn, use Surf + Earthquake first.

Fire: Starmie + Toxicroak, switch out Toxicroak for Pelipper if there is a Sunny Day, then switch back to Toxicroak. Otherwise spam Surf + Rock Slide first turn.
Note: sometimes the gym leader has a Blaziken as a 5th/6th mon, so you need to test if Adamant Toxicroak can finish it with Rock Slide or not, otherwise you need to use Earthquake.

Grass/Normal: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Toxicroak (Rock Slide)
Note: If Normal gym leader has a Blissey, use Drain Punch instead.

Cynthia: Lead with Typhlosion,
switch to Toxicroak if Empoleon appears, then Drain Punch.
switch to Pelipper if Garchomp appears, then Ice Beam.

if Milotic appears, switch to Ludicolo to kill it with Energy Ball (no other way, too tanky)

Morimoto: Lead with Gigalith
Use Stealth Rock, then Rock Blast/ Explosion depending whether on how many more hits it can tank.
switch to Pelipper to reset to Rain, then maybe Ludicolo to sweep.
Note: If there is a Snorlax, use Toxicroak, need heal in case of paralyzed from Body Slam.

In Kanto:
Fire/Rock: Starmie + Toxicroak, usually switch out Toxicroak for Pelipper to cancel Sunny Day/Sandstorm, then switch back to Toxicroak.
Note: if Cradily appears, use non-water moves to kill it first.

Poison/Electric/Grass/Psychic: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Hydreigon (Hypervoice).
Note: switch Choice Scarf to Typhlosion only for Grass gym, you will outspeed Chlorophyll Venusaur under Sun if it ever appears.

Psychic: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Toxicroak
Note: People have concern about Typhlosion Flash Fire held by the gym leader but with Toxicroak + Rock Slide, the threat is 0. Instead it's Snorlax that you should take care of. Its extremely bulkiness and ability Thick Fat together turns your Choice Specs + Eruption into a joke, so having a Toxicroak to kill it with Drain Punch is ideal.

Water: Starmie + Ludicolo
Note: Use Ludicolo to kill Swift Swim Pokémon.

 

Sinnoh + Hoenn Route
 

Spoiler

Start in Sinnoh: Steel -> Rock -> Grass -> Ice -> (heal) -> Ghost -> Fighting -> (heal) -> Electric -> (heal) -> Water -> fly to Hoenn
Then Hoenn: (heal) -> Rock -> Fighting -> Fire -> Normal -> Electric -> Flying -> Psychic -> Water -> fly to Sinnoh -> 4 NPCs at Route 212 below Heartrome City (not guards)
Above is the worst case scenario where you need to heal more than normal, usually you don't need to heal this many times.
In the best case scenario, you have enough time to defeat 2 more NPCs in Unova Route 9 Supermarket (not the maid + butler, the other 2).
The routes depend on HP and item being held of Typhlosion.

In Sinnoh:
Steel/Rock: Starmie + Toxicroak, usually switch out Toxicroak for Pelipper to cancel Sand Storm.
Note: if the Steel gym leader has Gigalith + Aron (with Sand Storm) or Aggron + Magnezone, DO NOT SWITCH to Pelipper in first turn, use Surf + Earthquake first.

Grass/Ice: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Toxicroak (Rock Slide)
Note: sometimes Grass gym leader has 2 Pokémon with Focus Sash.

Ghost: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Hydreigon (Dark Pulse)
Note: if gym leader has a Shedinja + another Pokémon, focus that "another Pokémon, so that Shedinja will use X-scissor on Hydreigon -> Typhlosion maintains full HP.

Fighting: Typhlosion +  Hydreigon (Hypervoice)
Note: switch Choice Scarf to Typhlosion, to outspeed potential Choice Scarf holders.

Electric: Starmie + Ludicolo
Note: switch Miracle Seed with Choice Specs/Life Orb for Ludicolo, so that it can 1 shot Jolteon if the gym leader has it. Life orb works better for you to switch to Energy Ball/Giga Drain if there is a Lanturn.

Water: Starmie (Thunderbolt) + Toxicroak (Rock Slide)
Note: switch to Ludicolo the moment the gym leader send out a Water/Earth Pokémon.

In Hoenn:
Rock/Fire: Starmie + Toxicroak, usually switch out Toxicroak for Pelipper to cancel Sand Storm/Sunny Day.
Note: if Cradily appears, use non-water moves, kill it first.

Normal: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Toxicroak (Rock Slide)
Note: if the gym leader has Slaking + Chansey, there is a 50-50 chance Slaking will outspeed your team and Body Slam Toxicroak to death. If not, use Drain Punch on Chansey.

Fighting: Typhlosion + Hydreigon (Hyper Voice)
Note: for Fighting gym, switch Choice Scarf to Typhlosion, to outspeed Choice Scarf Staraptor.

Flying: Typhlosion + Starmie
Note: for Flying gym, if Pelipper + Dragonite appears, use Eruption + Ice Beam to kill Dragonite. Then send in Hydreigon (Hypervoice) for the rest after Typhlosion dies.

Electric: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Hydreigon (Hypervoice)

Psychic: Typhlosion (Eruption) + Hydreigon (Dark Pulse)

Water: Typhlosion + Hydreigon
Note: With Typhlosion on the field, the gym leader will use water moves trying to kill it, so you will need to swap Typhlosion for Ludicolo. Often, Kingdra will be sent out, so by having these 2 leads, Hydreigon can 1 OHKO Kingdra with Dragonpulse.

Success Rate of the Guide

You can always finish 4 regions' gyms in 2 hours. Sinnoh-Hoenn Route always have extra time (about 7-12 minutes) to finish up 1-2 gyms that you might have missed from Unova-Kanto Route (mostly due to Cynthia). It's likely to happen when you are not used to the your team setup and gyms' team setups.

Piece of Advice
You should always be flexible while doing gym, the main idea is to decide the next gym you would head to with your current team (after finishing the gym you are doing) so that you reduce the number of time going to heal your Pokémon, as it can decide whether or not you still have time for another 3-5 NPCs or not.

Cheers, thanks for reading the guide!

[GTL Available by web browser]

Only when you are in pc you can put items to sell, so this is the first NO for web GTL
When you buy items there are 2 situations:
- You occasionally check web GTL: for sure you will miss all the good items already, since all good snipe-able stuffs will be gone in a blink and normal stuffs dont go away easily if you log in the game later. Also, the game log in take like 10s max, which make it very unlikely for the web GTL to ever be created.
- You always check web GTL: if you can always check, why not just log in the game already. it's a 1 time action.
So that's a second NO imo. 
If you are not in a situation to log in the game, I suggest to focus on what you are doing instead.
