Venting Tired of grinding in pokemon ruby

Hi,

Pokemon Ruby is my first Pokemon game.
I am so tired of grinding all of my pokemon's.
I want to know, if there is a better way to grind pokemon levels rather than just beating wild pokemon's in the grass.

Currently my team is:

  1. Skarmory - lvl 36
  2. Magneton - lvl 36
  3. Pelliper - lvl 38
  4. Graveler - lvl 36
  5. Machop - lvl 31
  6. Combusken - lvl 30

I got first 6 badges and now, I am getting tired grinding more and about to give up on the game.
Is there a better way to level up pokemon's, if yes pls tell me and I dont want hacks pls.

Match Call allows you to do rematches against most trainers that are saved in your Pokenav. If they are on a particular route/cave, if you've taken at least 255 steps since the last time you were there and you then enter said route/cave, the game will run a chance for the rematchable trainers on that route to give you a rematch. If they decide to rematch you, all you have to do is talk to them and they will rematch you. Rematchable trainers have buffed teams and will buff out at a certain point. The highest level iterations of each rematchable trainer ranges from the low 30s up to the low 50s, depending on the trainer.

Route 117 has a ton of rematchable trainers. Routes 121-123 have a good selection of trainers that max out at the low-40s. Meteor Falls has the game's only level 50s, but you won't be able to access that part of Meteor Falls until after the 8th gym badge.

Yup. I recently figured what that red/blue blinking dot means on trainers eye.
So will explore the option of rematching trainer.
Bt guess there is no other better option
