They put some great new Pokemon into the gen 8 games really, never used a Mr Rime myself, but it was good to see Mr Mine finally get an evolution.
So one thing I'm really finding weird in this game is I swear the route pokemon throw off what level I expect the gym to be. I'm at the Ice Gym now and all the pokemon outside are level 40-44 but until now all the gym Pokemon (just got the leader) are up to level 39. One stupid thing I did do was waste a load of time levelling up a scorbunny I got from Violet when someone here traded it to me after the raid (but rather than use the traded one I made 3 eggs for the living dex and levelled one fully) it's now level 33 but it seems to take forever to level up in this compared to Violet, maybe it's just the locations and pokemon I'm using. I mainly used Area 0 to spam level in Violet so I guess I was getting a lot more XP overall - getting like 2000xp per Pokemon or something. I find I'm getting about 400 or so per wild Pokemon so it's taking forever. The stupid thing is I forgot ice was weak to Steel and I already have 3 pokemon who know steel moves at a high level.
I think (except maybe 1 or 2 wild Pokémon), wild levels top out at 60, like in SV, the late game raids (or dynamic adventures in the second DLC) are by far the best way to level up as they give plenty of L and XL candies out.
