I'm at Canalave City and have played and progressed at a steady and normal rate however all my guys are now underleveled. Am I supposed to have grinded some more or have I maybe missed some side-dungeon to explore?

Platinum is easy anyways, you're fine.
>>32961128
Yes
>>32961128
What level are your mons and whats your team? and have you gone to Iron Island?
>>32963057
They're between level 32 and 37 and a bit of everything. I haven't gone to the island yet since the rival is blocking the path
Trade over your team from other games.

I'm playing on an emulator, though
>>3296318
Buy battle items and abuse them

>all my guys are now underleveled
that's normal, game's aren't as fun if you're about the same or over levels
>i maybe missed some side-dungeon to explore
there are actually lots of side areas to explore in Platinum like the route at south of Sandgem or the Fuego Ironworks behind Floraroma
>>32961128
You're fine at that level. The Elite Four, on the other hand, is what you'll probably need to grind for. Cythinia's Garchomp is a serious run killer if you aren't set up for it.

I replayed platinum recently and god, even with grinding for a while she was impossible. I had to use an Azelf holding nevermelt ice and i stilll didn't 1hko with icepunch, if it didnt miss the next hit i have no idea how i would have won.
That was a run dedicated to collecting shit for my living dex, remembering it now makes me want to run through the whole game again with a well built team. Best game.

I feel like I had more difficulty with D/P Cynthia than Platinum Cynthia, but she was a nightmare for me regardless.

Does her garchomp have any rock moves? I'm pretty sure I toxic stalled garchomp with vespiquen. This was Diamond though. It's been a while
>>32963965
It got nerfed in Platinum. It's 4 levels lower and has flamethrower instead of brick break. No rock moves though.
Since we're on the topic I am wondering, how shit is my team? I have Infernape, Luxray, Gardevoir, Gliscor, Gastrodon and Drapion. All of them are at least level 41. I am about to enter the distortion world.
>>32964067
Infernape, Gardvoir, and Gliscor are fine. Drapion is only good for citizen snips.

I used a Milotic to kill that thing. I was suddenly VERY glad that I spent 3 hour to hunt for one. On the rematch, I bought a Flame Orb and Garchomp quickly became a joke.
