Ok if you want to argue candy pilling for limiting grind after a team member death or something like Johto's level curve, I can understand that somewhat, but the thing you have to understand is these guys like Jan and youtubers who listen to him like Alpharad will get their 999x and use it to have a perfect team for every gym
>Have to fight Flannery
>Rare candy an untrained team of Tentacool, Gyarados, Golem and Pelipper all up to level 29
>Have to fight Norman right after
>Rare candy an untrained team of Hariyama, Machamp, Solrock and Dustox with Protect all up to level 31
I've seen multiple runs like this where "Oh I caught this Gastly earlier in the run so I'll use Gengar for this part" and they'll just level him up to 45 with candies instead of training up a solid balanced team of 6 mons off the encounters you end up with
