>>41703164So, I entered Wild Area when I had a Raboot in lv. 19 and now have Cinderace lv 38 going strong.
I was already overleveled when I arrived because I grinded a metric ton of Wooloos (about 60 of them) in the very first grass near your house. My second battle against rival was my lv. 17 vs his level 8 starter.
Wooloos respawned too fast and they gave much more exp than the stupid squirrel and Rookidees.
In no time I went from a Lv. 7 Scorbunny (after first rival battle) to Lv. 17 Raboot. Then I went up another 2 levels until I reached the wild area and once in the wild area it has been a catastrophe of wrecking first a ton of Vanillites, then a ton of Snovers, and finally a ton of Delibirds near the castle, I can even take down the roaming Glalie too.
The Lv. 27+ Delibirds were fucking dangerous at first, a single Drill Peck would insta-kill Raboot Lv 19. After a while of grinding lower level mons it'd survive Delibird and then after some levels more it would single-shot them.
My own caught team is now lv.27ish, and I've also trained some of the Surprise Trade mons to lv.22, but that was stupid since they won't obey me above lv.20 due to not having first badge.
But to give you a picture of how insane exp these Delibirds give if you are able to beat them early game, beating one gives enough exp to bump a lv. 1 Pokemon (Surprise Trades from Egg Hatching people I guess) all the way to lv. 13, and it takes just another 5~ Delibirds to take them to lv. 20.
This way I got now 3 Eevees in Lv. 20 and also evolved a Surprise Traded Sobble and Grookey (but their stupid evos won't obey me now), all of which I received at lv. 1
It may sound boring to be this much overleveled but it's addicting and Wild Area is very fun. The grinding wouldn't be possible without Double Kick to first grind Wooloos fast, and then Flame Charge to grind Vanillites, Snovers, and Delibirds.
