I tried to do a perfectly balanced team in Pearl. I arrived at level 43 at the Elite 4 and got obliterated by the Psychic trainer. I had to spam potions against Alakazam and Girafarig too except the last crited me so often I didn't make it.
The 15 levels difference make it too hard I can't even get crushed by Garchomp. That Machamp was pure trash all along the game so I'll trade it for a Sneasel. More info at 11.
