That is a hard level cap for hard mode, in normal and easy, there is a soft level cap which reduces exp gain when overleveling.

Like the one in black and white I believe @ezlaturbo

Level caps are two different things, there’s a hard level cap enforced on Hard Mode that if you reach that level you only gain 1EXP for each mon defeated, so basically you’re forced to stay at that cap until you defeat the boss. The Hard Mode level caps are based on the highest levels of the next upcoming boss, so once you beat one boss, the cap level will adjust accordingly to the next.

On both Normal and Easy though, there’s a soft level cap that only applies to mons that have been traded to you or don’t have your OT. This is the disobedience cap, where if they pass a certain level they’ll start to disobey you, and the cap increases with every gym badge you obtain.
