Some in game Strats

[Magus]

So I've been playing the game for some time (and I mean like three days) and i have found some good methods on getting pass some tough trainers.

Lets start with Florina. So at this early in the game she throws a Cradily at you and you were like me and didn't pick up a fighting type starter (like trorchick to combuskin), she will most likely stall your entire team so what do you do? Well go buy that king Carp for $4000 and evolve it and level it up to LV23. When it learns dragon rage, you can easily get through Florina and her Cradily. Also Gardevoir is very usefull. Hang on to double team until it learns calm mind and magical leaf. Set up a few double teams and then about 4 calm minds and sweep away your oppisition. Lastly having taunt is good as it will stop foes going for priority moves.Tranquil can learn this along with a few other pokemon early in game. Hope that helps.

You can pick up mankey or makuhita in the slums for her cradily , saving you 4000$ pokemonies.

True but a gyardos is just too good to pass up

I had Hariyama at lvl 25 that knew Belly Drum. Literally whiped her entire party. I also bought Magikarp and named it $4000.
