Pokémon in Pokémon Shuffle You Should STOP Leveling Up!

This table was created by apoptygma over on reddit. Once you capture the replacement Pokémon, stop using the your old ones. For example, one you get Miltank, there is no reason to ever use Buneary/Happiny/Minccino/etc ever again! 

To help control which Pokémon us use in the future, try not to depend on the "optimize" button. Hope this helps you guys out in your Pokémon Shuffle adventures!
