What Average Level Should My Team Be At Each Gym In Shield?

I was thinking of starting a new save file on Shield, and I want to pick Grookey, if that helps. Anyway, I was wondering around what level should each of my team members be for each gym if I have, let’s say, 3 super effective moves for each of the gym leader’s Pokémon. Also, levels for each trainer in the Champions Cup as well.

Hope this isn’t too confusing.

Also, I’ll try to do a nuzlocke so I think I should over level.

Grass Gym: Level 22

The grass gym isn’t too threatening. With Grookey, you shouldn’t need to over-level too much because of the resistance. If you are facing the gym without a resistance, you might want to level up a bit more, because even a neutral hit from the dynamaxer does a crazy amount of damage.

Water Gym: Level 27

Again, a hit from the dynamax Pokemon (Drednaw) will hurt a lot even when it’s a neutral hit, especially in rain. But if you have been able to keep Grookey, you won’t have any problems.

Fire Gym: Level 31

This is probably one of the hardest gyms in a SwSh nuzlocke run. Bug + Fire really hurts most of the Pokemon found in Galar, and the Pokemon you catch in the gym are too weak to do anything against the gym. Over-leveling even more than 31 wouldn’t be a bad idea at all.

Ghost Gym: Level 39

Not too hard.

Fairy Gym: Level 42/43

Not too hard.

Ice Gym: Level 46

Just be wary of the offensive prowess of Ice type Pokemon. Over-leveling a bit more might not be a bad idea.

Dark Gym: Level 50

This gym isn’t necessarily hard, it would just be good to over-level a bit just in case.

Dragon Gym: Level 55/60

This one you are most likely going to want to over level on, because it’s a double battle and a Pokemon getting double teamed could result in a loss.

Champions Cup: Level 65

You might be a bit over-leveled, but the opposing Pokemon levels will catch up fast.

Leon: Level 75

Even when over-leveled, Leon has a decent enough team with tons of coverage to really put on the hurt.

Hope this helped!

this is just what I might do

gym 1: 20-25lv for 2-3 pokes 25-30lv for 1 pokegym 2: 25-30lv for 2-3 pokes ( I’m assuming two pokes by now )gym 3: 30-35lv for 2-3 pokesgym 4: near 35 for 3-4 pokesgym 5: near 40 for 3-4 pokesgym 6: near 45 for 3-4 pokesgym 7: near 50 for 3-4 pokesgym 8: 50-55 for 4-5 pokeschampions cup : 65-70 for 5-6 pokes

i just thought of what seemed likely
