Wild VS raised
Whist catching a Pokemon at a high level can save a lot of time, a Pokemon caught at a low-level (the lower, the better) and raised from that stage will be more reliable, have higher stats and be less likey to hurt itself in confusion.
A Pokemon you raised recognises you, so not only dose it like you more (meaning it will work harder and will be more likley to obey you) it will be less likley to hurt itself in confusion.
Also, you have more choice in the moves it will learn, meaning it won't naturaly learn over a move you consider useful. (if you battle like me, you might value offense moves over stat changing moves, and so wish to learn a move such as 'bite' over a move such as 'growl'.
have fun raising your pokemon,
