>>36288281You just find a spot where the pokemon you are training for a type advantage so rock pokemon in mt.moon would be a good spot for you. For misty you want your pokemon around lvl 25 since the formula for gym leaders goes badge number x 10 + 5.
If your gloom knows a grass move and can survive a hit from her pokemon then you should be good to go, you can rebattle trainers you beat in the past every 3 days irl, so thats a good way to train.
I leveled my polywraith to 90 just on Blaines gym trainers alone.
>>36288316Pokemon has always been grindy, they just upped the difficulty so you need to grind a bit more. Ive played mmos my entire life and am pretty used to it but I do remember how much it sucks if you arent used to it.
I am just playing this because I was feeling nostalgic for the old games and rather than playing roms by myself I picked this up with friends.
