    Audino is a good Wild Pokémon to battle, since it's a commonly-found Pokémon that gives a lot of experience. You can find one in shaking grass.

    Pokérus is a Pokémon virus, which causes your Pokémon to grow better. There is no guaranteed way to get it, but you can catch it from wild Pokémon on special occasions.

    This will cause the Pokémon to level up faster.

This can be a fast way to level up.

    Most times it will be Audino but on small occasions there will be others.

    This will give you more experience than the other Pokémon you run into in the tall grass.

    Rustling grass will come up every once in a while. The best thing to do is walk/run next to grass, but not in it, until the grass moves.

  • Question
    I battled in Pokemon Black, but my Pokemon don't get experience points. What's wrong?

    This means that you're playing a pirated copy of the game, in which Pokemon don't level up because of the game's copy protection. They'll level up if you get a store-bought copy of the game.

  • Question
    Why does my Pokemon only get a small amount of XP when I fight Audino, even with the lucky egg?
    Community Answer
    Your Pokemon may be one that has a slow XP gain (i.e Metang or Braviary). Or, your Pokemon could be at such a high level that XP gain is lowered.

      • Pokerus only lasts 24 hours, but to keep it, you can put one Pokémon with Pokerus in your PC box.

      • To make other Pokémon in your party get Pokerus, you can do double battles, or start off with one Pokémon (that has Pokerus) and switch to another in the middle of a battle.
        Thanks
