I’ll assume you want them to still pose a decent challenge, so the recommended levels will very rarely go above the Gym Leader’s ace.

Note that I did not include rematches, as your team will very likely be overlevelled by the time you get around to rematching them. You can very likely be lower than the levels I recommended in LGP/E, as Pikachu and Eevee have ridiculously overpowered attacks that can smite the Gym Leader’s team.

Hope I helped!

Note that these levels are intended for one Pokemon. If you use more Pokemon, then you will not need such high levels, but your will need more total experience to get all your Pokemon to reach the lower levels.
