I usually fight the hoenn e4 at lvl 40-45. Blaziken can sweep 3/4 of them. Good luck with Drake without icebeam.

All the old games have pretty bad level curves towards the end, though in gen 1 it doesn't matter bc the AI and movesets are so bad. It's kind of similar in gen 2 but some enemies will actually pose a challenge.
Gen 5 basically fixed this, but that's primarily thanks to the Lucky Egg you get halfway through the game and GF not feeling the need to raise the levels on each consecutive member the Elite Four

all of the old ones
in RBY Blue's Alakazam will sweep your whole team unless you grind or RNG makes it choose stupid moves, same with Lance's Dragonite if you don't have Ice Beam
in GSC Lance's 3 Dragonites will destroy you if you don't have Ice Punch or Ice Beam, even then you get crippled by Thunder Wave and hit by Hyper Beam constantly
and in all of these old games if you use a full team you are seriously underleveled at the Elite Four, even if you fought every trainer in the game

Lance's Dragonite is super easy if you have any poison type.

Levels never really matter in the first 3 gens thanks to badge boosts and EVs.

I don't know why you wouldn't have ice beam or ice punch on your water type. That's on you for being retarded and not having coverage. As for much levels, I've played gen 1 and 2 plenty of times without having to grind and having a full team.

Its AI always makes it choose Psychic moves against them, and its Psychic attacks are non damaging
Gen 1 mons also have infinite PP so it won't ever literally be able to kill them short of them struggling themselves to death on it
