>>46240406The original Rescue Team is kind of busted in that it's best to powerlevel 1 pokemon, since you have to keep grabbing more. Also, level has a gigantic effect on damage dealt. A level 10 Pichu with 20 Sp Attack will heavily outdamage a level 3 Alakazam with 40ish Sp Attack, even with NFE damage. Past a point, even the A attack deals instakill damage against everything but bosses.
Team Hydro's a good place to grind if you use linked moves, since those give bonus exp. Past a point as well, the town shop can sell Joy Seeds, and the shop refreshes after every dojo run. Also, a lot of people use Articuno if you feel like going back for one.
