Then maybe you can give some advice on how to not get

immediately swept by Julia. Because as far as I can tell, there's nothing typed to slow down Electric types in the early game.
What’s your team?

Currently:

Not married to it if there are good options I'm missing though.

Also at 18 Grimer gets Mud Bomb.

Ah, so apparently I need to feel like I'm "overleveling", unlike other pokemon games. I'm used to it being totally fine to be at approximately the same level as a gym leader's team.

you can't overlevel, the game gives you a level cap and if you go over the level cap your pokemon starts to disobey you. This is why common candy is an item. This was demonstrated in a cutscene earlier after you got your starter.
The level cap is fine because its really well paced with the game itself.
I actually think you're really underleveled with everything being at 15, atleast for Julia. And even if you beat Julia with everything at 15, the level cap increases and you'll find out that now you're way MORE behind then you would be if you took the time to level up your mons to like 18 or something pre-julia
Like, you want your mons to be levels 18+ after Julia.

Her pokemon go from levels 12-15. Everything above 15 is what I would normally consider "overleveled". This is clearly wrong for this game and I need to adjust my POV.
