If you go through each route catching every type that exists there, and fight along the way you might be at the right level, but I've almost always had to grind to keep my team the appropriate level (without just replacing them with higher level recent captures) in order to remain competitive.
Black and White was the first time I was ever at the appropriate level without having to grind, and thats because most of my team were all traded and gained exp faster.
