3
Get four Pokémon that are weak and you want to level them up.
4
Give them Exp. share. If you don't have enough, then start by training one of them, and then switch every time you finish a battle. Easier target is Elite Four since you got two level 100 Pokémon.
5
Go to Stark Mountain or Turnback Cave with a level 100 Water type Pokémon and an exp. share on the Pokémon you are raising.
6
Eterna Forest is a good spot to train with Cheryl. You get more than 200 experience each battle and a full heal. It's a good spot to train for Gardenia.
7
Wayward Cave is a good spot to train with Mina. You get more than 200 experience each battle and a full heal. It's a good spot to train for Mina.

Question

How do I get the experience share?

Community Answer

The experience share can be found next to Eterna City. Just talk with Professor Rowan's assistant and he will give you the experience share.
Question

How do I level up my weak Pokemon when my best Pokemon is level 20?

Community Answer

I would suggest going to routes where the Pokémon are about the same level as the Pokémon you want to train. There are multiple resources online where you can find the Pokémon that are found and their average level on each route.

Alakazam Strategy

If you're looking to beat the entire elite four with one Pokémon so you can train 5 at once, just raise a level 100 Alakazam with:

Energy Ball or Grass Knot (for Bertha & half of Cynthia's Pokémon)
Shadow Ball (for Lucian)
Fire Punch (for Aaron) (learned through breeding)
Psychic (should still knock out most of Flint's and wreck Lucario)

Tricky Pokémon that could give you trouble:

Driblim- Use Shadow Ball!
Girafarig- Energy Ball him a few times
Spiritomb- Energy Ball him a few times (Don't use fire punch for these two because Alakazam's Special Attack is way higher than his Attack)
Garchomp- Just use psychic, but if you're out of PP use Energy Ball

Also, have him hold leftovers if you've got it. This leveling strategy works perfect if you do it right.

Warnings

Watch out for Champion Cynthia, she's hard sometimes.

If you put Pokémon in the Daycare, you'll have no control of them learning moves.
