>that level curve at island 4
I was underleveled for lusamine at aether paradise, while I had been 3 levels above the average trainer in island 3, then suddently everybody has level 45 pokemon, while I'm still in my 40s. Cue literally half an hour later, final lusamine fight with her team at level 50 and me still being at 45. Guess what? You're inmediately dropped off at gladion afterwards, who almost wrecks your team yet again, and by the time you get to the league your team is around 47. The entire elite 4 is around level 55. Cue grinding, which is hard since there's no good place to do it at this point, until my entire team is level 50. The elite 4 is doable but fuck the champion. [spoilers]He has a lycanrock that places stealth rocks, and a snorlax that's a literal wall with at least 6 full restores. I had to cheese my way through the stealth rocks by quick clawing and OHKOing his lycanrock, and his snorlax by spamming revives and sing[/spoilers].
I beat the game with a team of level 50-53. Thought I was done yet? Well, fuck no.
Right after you beat the game, besides getting pushed into a legendary fight (you can just run and do it over later on), you get pointed towards two directions, either exploring poni island or following a request to go to the hotel in route 8. Both lead you to battles with level 60 mons, and the poni island one locks away a cool grinding spot with level 55 wilds. At least I found out that you can grind at the restaurant that opened in hal'oui city after beating the game.
I'm scared of what I'll be seeing next.
