Already addressed please scroll through the comments and see the reply . <| sep |> In retrospect , I regret this not being my link <| sep |> Isn ' t it 17 minutes <| sep |> I only used the Exp Share to level up my Cutiefly to level 10 and then turned it off for the rest of the game . I lost to Totem Mimikyu because I underestimated it and pushed my luck , not to mention I only had 3 Pokemon at the time Decidueye , Ribombee , and my shiny Hariyama . I never really had an issue with being underleveled because i don ' t use repels and find oneshotting Pokemon faster than attempting to run in most cases , that is until I got to Poni island . The very first trainer I encountered nearly swept my team with a Gunk Shot Garbodor and a Liquidation Poison ZMove Toxipex . I ' m really loving the difficultly of this game and I ' ve been having a blast , I ' m glad I decided to play this way !
