Leveling Chart

This is a tabulated leveling chart of the amount of experience that Paras requires to advance per level, as well as a comparative overview of how much less experience is needed to level up at the same levels than its evolution would require; this helps you handily cross-compare their leveling charts to ascertain how many experience points you would save if you were to delay evolving Paras to a later level.
