Iris' Haxorus is too low?

Question

So, in white Iris' Haxorus is level 43 ,but Fraxure evolves at level 48 why is this?

Answer 1

Gamefreak does this to make the game harder, like Ghetis's Hydreigon

Comments

How does this make the game harder?? It actually makes it easier, because instead of facing a level 48 Haxorus, you face a level 43 one.
