Yeah. I didn't even really grind either. I just did maybe 3 or 4 of those red tower things in the wild area, captured some pokemon, battled every trainer i came across(didn't detour) and boom 26. The rest of my part is in the high 10's/lower 20s.

Thats crazy. Seems absurdly high for the first gym

Fighting every trainer and capturing some Pokmon is considering grinding? Do raid battles give a crapton of xp or something? Even so...they should have balanced the game around that and xp share always being on.

I'm out here avoiding wild battles, max battles, not catching pokemon I don't plan on actually using, and not using exp candy and I'm kind of getting my ass handed to me on a regular basis when I get to a new area. Especially with new pokemon I don't know the typing to.

raid battles give no experience lol, all I did was catch pokemon and stuff - I beat the first gym at 19, the next at 26, and the other at 30 - I'm on my way to number four and I'm doing raid battles

And because he has his starter in first place in the list, meaning it's always getting the most experience so he's power leveling the shit out of it.

i actually started avoiding pokemon so i wouldn't have to battle them and usually only fight ones i haven't seen before. and fighting trainers that are on the way to my goal, i'm pretty sure most of them are mandatory besides like three just outside of the first gym town

even then exp tapers off so if you aren't actively seeking battles you should be level-appropriate

They give experience candy which I'm assuming the tc used to be at level 26 at only the first gym. My starter is at 34 in the 4th gym now because I limited myself.

i didn't even limit myself, the game is good at tapering EXP to keep you level appropriate.

(pps, I never touched the candies either, I got a shitton from raid battles and I'm keeping them in case I need them)
