I've read some threads concerning getting the tonberry king but none make mention of level. Currently squall is around 40 and others are mid 20's. I just got the balamb garden mobile. I know 40 is decent but it seems nobody's HP has broken 2000. And I've junctioned magic and used GF abilities like HP+40% etc.

Wouldn't one hit from a normal tonberry take out my characters?

The damage I'm doing doesn't seem to be all that great either. So I don't think I can handle taking a regular tonberry with 15,000 let alone the king with upwards 200,000.

Should I just put this off til disc 3 after some intense character/GF leveling?
