Any raising methods? (Nate Railsback's Method)

I am new at playing the game right, by right I mean using items religiously and no erranity's and all that. I have tried RNA's method on a beaclon and got my highest numbers so far. My highest was 805 and the rest were in the 700's with speed in the mid hundred's. I spent like $75,000 on him and he can't even beat an official s tournament. So is there any other method's that are not as expensive and less complicated. I would like to have high stat's but I need something not so hard. Thank you much.

Well, if your Beaclon NEVER went on any Errantries, then it has a really sucky variety of moves, none of which are likely to be too good (even if it's multi-generational so that it started with more than two). I'd really suggest sacrificing some of its lifespan to learn more moves. Plus, as a monster leaves maturity, frequent battles are the only way to keep it getting good stat increases. My training regimen is this:

Infancy: Light Drill, Light Drill, Light Drill, Rest. Feed it Milk until it stops making the "happy" pose at my choice, at which time it has entered Adolescence (if it never has any reaction to Milk, feed it lactose for at least 5 months). Train it in drills that it likes (or barrring that, ones that it doesn't make the "unhappy" pose) to keep loyalty moving up, unless the drills that it wants are two-star ones, which it can't handle at this point. It's okay for it to go into Strict or Soft raising style for short periods, but try to get them back in line quickly with Smoked Snakes or those Apple things. Also, try to keep its weight normal (using Powder or Candy to even it out if it gets Fat or Slim). Give a Mint Leaf once every two months, and make sure to give it at least one battle per year (but don't start battling too much yet).

Adolescence: Same training regimen, but now I can start increasing stats above 300. You can start fighting alot more now, and if the monster can handle C-rank or B-rank battles (this would have to be a third or fourth-gen monster), use those for very good stat boosts, but only when Very Well. When it's able to handle Hard Drill, Light Drill, Light Drill (or two Hard Drills) without getting tired, switch to that. Maturity isn't far then...

Maturity- Once I'm absolutely, positively sure that it's getting the best stat boosts it can get, feed it a Silver Peach, with a Golden Peach one year after (to insure that they don't interfere with each other). Train to get its most important moves (see my original Battle Strategies post for Beaclons, and I'll have more Battle Strategies coming soon). Only go on Errantry when the monster is Very Well, and only when it can definately learn a move (save first!). When it gets back, feed it Nuts Oil and send it to bed to instantly get it back into shape.

Old Age- Once it's truly on the way out of Maturity, start fighting like crazy (but don't get tired), picking up the last moves you need and honing stats towards your S-rank showdowns.

Note: I never get any monster's stats to 999, because then there's the chance that a post-battle stat gain will be wasted on it. I always stop at 900 or so.

Trust me, with some good moves like Rolling Bomb and Maximal Punch, your Beaclon will stand alot better shot at the competition. I'd suggest mixing your old one into a better combination, like a Henger, Joker, or Dragon sub-type. Anything else?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! That seems to be so much easier and your right my beaclon only had 3 techs and that sucked. I really appreciate your help. I think you have pretty much covered it. I'll get back with you on the results of my next beaclon. Until then muchos gracias

May I make a gentle suggestion? Get a worm (pure worm, not a "sub anything" worm) and raise it with the intentions of taking it as far as you can. Once it is in the "prime of it's life" and has stats of at least 400 something, freeze it. Repeat this process. Once you have two kick-ass worms, combine them (adding a set of disk chips) and then continue from there. Your new baby worm will be much better than the original worms were. It worked for me...
