Yanma requires surreal XP for leveling

[Begu]

Hello,

 

Been leveling up Yanma now and noticed it requires absurd amount of experience for a non-evolved Pokemon to level up. Pretty much the same as other Pokemon would require when] evolved.

 

Compared it with quite a few same/around same level Pokemon and it actually needs around 2.5x the amount of xp other do.

 

For a good comparison (Image below):

Yanma lv. 71 - 2.63M total XP.

Bergmite lv. 71 - 1.08M total XP.

 

 

Both Pokemon' leveling rate is "Medium Fast" (Bulbapedia). Feels weird that total XP differs so much.

 

Should this be a thing? And if it should, I really liked to know why. It's not like Yanma is an overpowered legendary Pokemon. Feels punishing to train an uncommon and not even a "good" Pokemon at such low leveling rate.
