Raising Pokemon

Pokemon is very interesting game. At the first one of my son played Pokemon. During helping him, I was absorbed in the game. Still now I play the game and love all cute Pokemons.
At starting the game, my goal was to be Pokemon champion. After being champion, my goal was to collect all 151 Pokemons. And now, I'm interested in raising strong Pokemon.

How to raise strong Pokemon
As you know, Pokemon has 6 elements, Level, HP, Kogeki (Attack), Bogyo (Defense), Subayasa (Speed), Tokushu (Speciality).
The higher these elements are, the stronger Pokemon is.

1. Use Dogu (items) to increase 5 elements.

Element	Item Name	Price
HP	Makkusu Appu (Max up)	9800 (Blue only)
Kogeki (Attack)	Taurin	9800
Bogyo (Defense)	Buromuhekisin	9800
Subayasa (Speed)	Indometashin	9800
Tokushu (Speciality)	Rizochiumu	9800

You can use each item for one Pokemon up to 10. But they are very expensive. To get much money, you need to fight with Shiten-nohs again and again. Otherwise need to do Urawaza increasing items. (Doing Urawaza is sometimes dangerous with your ROM. Be careful of doing it.)

2. Raise Pokemon from low level.

3. Get 2 or more Pokemons and compare their elements

These elements depends on each Pokemon. For example, I got 4 Pikachu and they are Level 3 all.

HP	15	15	15	15
Kogeki (Attack)	8	9	8	8
Bogyo (Defense)	7	7	7	6
Subayasa (Speed)	11	10	10	11
Tokushu (Speciality)	8	8	8	8

4. Raise Pokemon steadily and slowly. (updated!)

When I use Fushigina Ame (Miracle Candy) or Gakushu Sochi (Learning Machine), Pokemons will grow up easily. No fighting. Saving time. How easy! But... Now I am examining each raising up way. If you are interested in it, please see the following table. (I'm sorry, it is not completed. Raising Pokemon steadily takes a lot of time.)
And the increasing elements depends on type and level of wild monsters to be fighted. If you fight with high level monsters and defeat them, you monster get high Keikenchi and grow level up soon. But if you want your monster to be strong, fight with low level monsters.
Type : If you want to strenghen Kogeki and Subayasa elements, fight with Nidoran (Male). For HP and Bogyo, fight with Nidoran (female). For Subayasa and Tokushu, fight with Menokurage.

Base Pikachu: HP:15, Kogeki : 9, Bogyo : 7, Subayasa : 10, Tokushu : 8.
* 'Medicined' Pikachu: I used 10 each items to strengthen Pikachu: Max up, Taurin, Indometashin, Rizochiumu, Buromuhekisin.
*Fight with Low Level monsters : Nidoran (Male), Nidoran (Female) and Menokurage from Lv.2 to Lv.5.
