Maybe a little. But you do have to remember I started with a full team of six. Plus Skarmory and Miltank both have much higher base stats than normal for that point of the game. And while I turned the EXP Share off at around level 30 (the Champion’s Pokemon were all higher level than mine), I used the same team throughout the entire game, so all exp earned was centralized on them and I only had to Super Train six Pokemon. I also didn’t spend much time in the Battle Chateau.

Not like I’m done yet either. Presently I’m leveling a Dratini I caught to turn it into Dragonite and teach it HMs to free up move slots on my team. I still need to catch the three post-game legendaries and at least unlock all the TMs and stat boosting items in the Battle Mansion.

Although… I’m still throwing around the idea of restarting. After looking some stuff up, the berries aren’t such a huge deal. I can’t seem to find much use for money so buying all the TMs over again shouldn’t matter. So I’d really just need to find somepony to trade Pokemon holding mega evolution stones to, and then trade back. Possibly a few expensive BP items like Life Orb too.
