You can pick up Leftovers after getting access to Victory Road's B1F. Leftovers are very useful for bulky and defensive Pokemon to let them recover health each turn.
The elite four and the champion herself have high level Pokemon so we advise battling the trainers in Victory Road as much as possible so your team can level up as well. Doing this will not only make your team stronger but it will also help you fill your Sinnoh Dex.
After getting the National Dex from Professor Oak, fly to the northern entrance of the Pokemon League and enter Victory Road again. Head inside the once closed off area to the east of the Dragon Tamer trainer and continue going east until you reach a foggy area.
Use Defog and talk to Marley to team up with her. You can't use Surf while you are with Marley and you'll be battling trainers in the area in a double battle. Nothing to worry though since Marley will heal your team every time you finish a battle!
