Huh. That's odd. I never grinded, so I'm unsure how I ended up stronger.
I guess I just explored more? *Shrugs*

However, I really hate fighting Elite Four members because they don't give you a chance to recover before fighting the champion. It's not that it's difficult, it just feels rather unfair. So much for being a champion when he/she isn't willing to battle you at full strength.

All my friends used to do that, taking teams of Pokemon hitting the level 80 mark against the E4, when their Pokemon are at 45-55, for the first round.

I, on the other hand, just went against them as is. Increased the challenge, increased the tension, and it was more fun and satisfying.
