Oh shoot, you're right. For some reason I was thinking that was just after her.

And naw, I never grinded in the pre-"EXP All" era (ie. the modern games). I just solo'd everything with the starter, which meant that I was usually 4-5 levels above (at least) everything else even when only doing required battles. The games were trivial that way, and while Gen V was arguably GameFreaks' first real attempt at making anything even slightly challenging I can't say I found it different than the previous four.

Fair enough. Lenora just sticks out because she was almost designed specifically to defeat the "Starter solo" strategy, via Retaliate, and it's why a lot of people had issues with her.
