July 15th

- Time to grind.
- Gary picked up a Full Restore.
- Gary picked up two Super Potions.
- Gary picked up a Revive.
- I passed on Finger learning Protect in favor of keeping Iron Defense.
- Gary picked up an Ultra Ball.
- Skipped having Slapkins learn Protect.
- After about an hour, Finger made it to level 40. Slapkins also made it to level 46 while helping out.
- Next up is Sredsa.
- Gary picked up two Revives.
- Gary picked up a Protein.
- Skipped having Sredsa learn Agility because she picks up speed at the end of every turn anyway.
- I decided to pit Sredsa against a level 40 Loudred while she was still at 39. Loudred used some Screeches and I used some Swords Dances. The Loudred took Sredsa all the way down to one HP in one hit. Sredsa finished the job in one slice.
- About another hour and Sredsa is now at level 40. Next will be Billy.
- Passed on having Billy learn Mist.
- Slapkins made it to level 47.
- Gary picked up a Full Restore.
- Decided against having Billy learn Take Down.
- Billy reached level 35 and evolved.
> BILLY: Swablu -> Altaria
- Replaced Peck with Dragonbreath.
- Billy reached level 36. Calling it for the night here.

The method for grinding I'm using is to have the Pokemon hold the Exp. Share and be the lead 'mon. A stronger team member is then switched in to secure the victory. I'm having Slapkins, Annie, and now Finger take care of the knockouts. Which one is chosen depends on whatever happens to pop up.

Updated table of levels

My thought now is that I grind my team up to at least level 40, then cave into save editing to get them up to the 50 mark. Still undecided on this, but I'll think about it for a bit.
