OK, Right now I'm level Grinding at the Restaurant near Valor Lakefront, trying to get Pachirisu to Level 41 or higher, and Rotom, Drifloon, and Roselia to Level 33 or higher.  Pachirisu's coming along great (mainly because I have my EXP share on him...anyone know how I can get another one?), and so are Rotom and Roselia.  Roselia in particular is quite vicious; at level 22, she has Stun Spore, Mega Drain, Leech Seed, and Magical Leaf.  In addition, if she switches out, she not only cures all of her status ailments, she also transfers the effects of Leech seed to the Pokemon she was switched for, so it continues to gain health every turn!!  So far the only thing that has given her pause is the Gyarados of the fisherman on Route 213...which is why Rotom is so useful.  Unless the Gyarados has Bite (which, sadly, both said Gyarados and Crasher Wake's Gyarados have), Rotom is virtually untouchable.  Awesome.  Plus, he has Confuse Ray, which is one of the most devastating attacks in the game, IMO, even though it doesn't directly damage the opponent.

My only problem right now is that I don't really know how to use Drifloon properly, so I'm afraid to level him up too much for fear of giving him the wrong moves.  Right now he is level 25, and he has Stockpile, Astonish, Gust, and Payback.

Anyhow, once I have them leveled-up, I'm going to boost my Torterra a level or two (he is an excellent partner for Rotom) and work on finding the last Pokemon for my team to challenge Crasher Wake.  I've already ruled out Togetic (I had to turn off the power because he OHKO'd him with gyarados and he was already my last Pokemon)...perhaps one of my Tropius?  (BTW, if I ever get wi-fi, I can breed them for you, instead of you having to get them in the Great Marsh...ugh.)  Or would Tangela be better?  Both my male and female Tropius are already Level 30, and my Tangela is at Level 28...any advice?
