Strategies for Efficiently Leveling Up Pokémon in Scarlet/Violet

Hey everyone,
I’ve been playing Pokémon Scarlet/Violet for a while now, and I’m looking for tips on the most efficient ways to level up my Pokémon. I’ve tried battling wild Pokémon and trainers, but it feels like it takes quite a bit of time. Are there any strategies or methods that you’ve found to be particularly effective? I’ve heard about using Exp. Candies, but I’m not sure how to farm them efficiently. Also, are there certain areas where leveling is faster or better? Any advice on maximizing experience gain without spending too much time grinding would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!retro bowl
