After getting all 8 Johto badges, surf east of New Bark Town, then go through the routes until you get to Victory Road (you need Waterfall to get there).

Go to Mahogany Town which is right next to Ecruteak City and go into the gym. Then, beat the leader and you will have successfully gotten the seventh gym badge.

Put your low-level Pokemon in party first then switch at the start of the battle. Your low-level Pokemon gains lots of EXP and level up fast here.

Use Repels in the cave to avoid any wild Pokémon from appearing. The Zubats and Golbats are irritating.
