Where should I train my team for the Johto Elite Four in Crystal?

Question

Training for Johto Elite four (first time going through). Im trying to find a good spot to train my team for the elite four in Pokemon crystal specifically
My team is as follows:
Feraligatr - 39
Noctowl - 34
Jynx - 30
Rhydon - 35
Magneton - 33
Magmar - 35

Edit: thanks for all the answers I've gotten but I no longer need the help. I have beaten the entirety of the game including red. Thanks again for trying to help

I think you should just repeatedly challenge the Pokemon League until you get enough experience to win.

But every loss, you lose money so this is probs a bad idea

It might be faster to lose that money now and earn it back later than it is to grind on wild Pokemon.

Answer 1

The trouble with the Johto games is their notoriously awful level curve, making it difficult to prepare for the Elite 4 without significant grinding. Your best bet is training in Victory Road, as it contains the highest levelled wild Pokémon up until that point. Alternatively, you can grind levels in the Daycare, but that may take even longer than Victory Road grinding.

If you want to lighten the load, you can make cuts to your team. Magmar, while decent, doesn’t contribute much during the Elite Four battles due to the limited number of Fire-weak opponents. Magneton has its strengths, but compared to your other options, it may be the least impactful in the final stretch.

Edit: sumwun also says Rhydon isn't good for the Elite 4, so you can consider getting rid of that as well.

Hope I helped!

Why would you recommend dumping Magneton but not Rhydon? Only 4 of the Pokemon League's Pokemon are weak to ground.

Answer 2

The Victory Road might be your best option because I trained my team for the E4 on the Victory Road
