[Exp. Candy problem]

Am I using Exp. Candies wrong in this game?

 

They work normally, if the Pokémon just gains 1 Level, but if it gains multiple levels, all the stats increase by 0.

Bench Primarina for this one, replace Kricketune. You should have access to Meowstic by this point, who is a very good option for this fight, both Female and Male version. If you're willing to train up a mon, you can get Pinecos from the Headbuttable in Reborn City trees for a Forretress, who invalidates a lot of Aya's team, knows spikes(which is boosted), and has attacks independent of it's attack power. (Heavy Slam/Gyro Ball). I can't really stress how good Steel types are against Aya, as she only has a handful of answers to them. If the egg you got from the Slums was Bronzor all the better. If you can find an answer for Salazzle and Drapion, Forretress can run amok.

 

If you don't wanna go out and find more pokemon, Training up Baltoy could be beneficial as Claydol can learn good attacks for Aya (Extrasensory and Earth Power). Gothitelle is also a good choice, X items are always a viable option if you have a mildly tanky pokemon like her, especially with access to screens. It is particularly easy to buff the bejeebus out of something like Forretress, Gothitelle, or Grumpig so they can tank hits and just go to town on her, as her starting two aren't to big of a threat. There is a Lunatone or Solrock in the Grand Staircase if you're willing to explore. You can grab a Meditite from Apohyphll Academy from a girl on the roof and Medicham can take a couple of hits and dish out Psychic and Fighting (to deal with Drapion). Iirc there are Alolan Diglets in Pyrous mountain who have almost perfect typing to fight Aya with. Bringing your own Nidoqueen can work depending on the moves it knows, and if you have a means of evolving Porygon, that's another psychic attacker. Trubbish/Garbodor can also act as an effective wall and set up.

Thanks for the reply!

By the time I read it, i've already managed to beat her. I went the training Baltoy and evolve it do Claydol route
