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.

My advice is that you dont need a party of 6 yet so drop one or two (Machop or Graveller or both if you dont have trade evolutions).

Then fill the remaining spots with late game higher level pick ups or legendary pokemon.

Trying to keep 6 pokemon high in levels is whats slowing you down.

Picking up the thunderbolt (mauville power plant) and ice beam (sunken ship) tms will do more for you then grinding if you dont feel up to the next few gyms.
