>>51186563I'm playing through XG, recently got my ass handed to me by Gonzap and I finished grinding for the rematch. Does the game ever relent from this point on? Ever since about Phenac City the strength of opponents started to outpace my growth, and now I'm struggling to even take down grunts. And when I do take down a grunt I'm usually left with four or five members knocked out. Even Umbreon, who has both Filter and the item that halves damage from Shadow Pokemon is struggling to take hits.
