>>52097610yes and no, if you spam raids you get a load of leveling candies, and if you're going to catch everything on your sight and fight every trainer you'll be overeleveling fast
but, you can also do the game underleveld for the most part, don't fight trainers, don't use the auto fight system, don't catch everything, don't do raids or use leveling items and skip the 2/3 starting gym
re-reading myself I can now say, it is hard to stay underleveled
