I’m doing a Pokémon Blue nuzlocke rn on my 2ds and I want to get my Pokémon to at least lv 60 or 70 before facing the elite four and my rival. Does anyone have any advice for grinding?
Here’s my team and their level
Pog- electrode lv 39
Benedict- exeggcutor lv 42
Shroom- parasect lv 39
Jester- vaporeon lv 44
Dusty- sandslash lv 42
Dazzle- moltres lv 50

Drop Electrode and Parasect from your team so more experience can go to your other Pokemon, and then just keep battling the Elite 4 until you get enough experience to win
@sumwun this is a Nuzlocke
I cannot literacy.
If this is a Nuzlocke, I think you should first battle all regular trainers you haven't battled yet, and then grind wherever the wild Pokemon give you the most experience (which is probably Victory Road).
Probably the best place to grind in Pokémon Blue before the E4 is on Victory Road, you'd want to specifically fight  trainers in the lower areas to avoid high level encounters. Also, you could go and grind against Pokemon trainers on Seafoam Island and Cycling Road. But I'd personally suggest victory road! also good luck with ur run!
I've played yellow but I beat the E4 only thanks to missingno.
If your answer is "probably" true then it should be a comment. It's also impossible to rematch most trainers in gen 1.

Generation I lacks later games' methods of accelerating the grinding process. There are no shortcuts here: you will need to find the highest level Pokemon you can safely KO, and farm them for several hours. Before the Elite 4, the highest levels in Kanto are found in Victory Road. I recommend going to the third floor, which has a 10% chance of encountering Venomoth, 20% of Onix, and 5% of Graveler — though restoring PP is more convenient if you stay on the first floor.

The Pokémon Mansion is a more consistent alternative to Victory Road. Though its Pokémon hover in the 30s compared to Victory Road's 40s, the latter has a higher chance of Level 20-something Zubat. Over time, you may find the uniformity of the mansion easier to work with.

Be sure to first clear the high-level Trainers in Victory Road to eke out a little more EXP. After that, settle in for the long haul.
