I've relegated myself to recruiting every pokemon in Blue Rescue Team once I saw that others had subjected themselves to the same self-imposed challenge. I figured it would give me incentive to finish dungeons that I otherwise didn't have any real passion for visiting (every level 1 dungeon, Far-Off Sea, Grand Sea etc).

I'm a good way through it but I'm wondering how to best approach recruiting most of the first-stage mons from Wish Cave and Joyous tower, as well as the quickest way to level up pokemon to evolve them, particularly those that evolve at levels 40-50. It's already extremely monotonous and the thought of having to trudge Team Hydro or Western Cave hundreds of times is already demoralising.
