Pokémon players are taking extra steps to make The Teal Mask DLC challenging

Some avid Pokémon Scarlet and Violet players like myself are a worried that the upcoming DLC, The Teal Mask, will be too easy for their teams full of EV-trained, IV-maxed, level 100 Pokémon. This is why many players are adding some spice to their adventure by building a new team of weaker Pokémon to tackle the DLC, rather than steamrolling it with powerhouses like Flutter Mane and Iron Hands.

The Pokémon series, unlike other games, rarely scales the levels of story opponents based on player levels. The Sword and Shield expansions did feature some level scaling, but it capped at around level 60 and was based on the number of gym badges the player earned in the main story. So, if you got all eight badges and defeated Leon, all wild Pokémon would be at the level cap of 60.
