>>41445742op here this is how i played the game and by the last battle Hop out leveled me
>played through catching some of what i saw and using only my team>beat 8 gyms and before champion tourney i tried to complete a good portion of the dex>ended up switching 2 team members out for frosmoth and dragapult when all was said and done>beat champion and postponed post game for rest of dex>through completing the dex i was using rotom and galade (hypnosis falseswipe) rather than my teami had to level up everything to evolve so just auto leveling up my entire team was stupid and took up space. While doing the dex i was doing raids and curry for exp, friendship, and watts for the fossils.
>finished post game and last pokemon in the dex was zamazentaPlaying this way my team was never over leveled and I had multiple team members.
