The easiest way to build up your stockpile of Pokémon crafting materials is to use the new Let's Go feature. While Let's Go mode significantly decreases the amount of EXP your party gains per battle, it increases the odds of receiving Pokémon crafting materials after a battle and helps you knock out battles quickly. The only reason you would not want to use Let's Go mode is if you wanted to farm for EXP simultaneously.
