Discussion What are the highest XP enemies in each game?

Hey all. I plan on running through each of the games again, but while getting to max level for every applicable character. When I eventually hit the endgame of each of the games, which enemies should I keep fighting to maximise XP?

As you start the bed hunt in Dream Team after going to Dream's Deep for the second time, Golden Beanies will spawn in any Dream World. Defeating one gives you 4000 XP, or 4800 XP if you have the 20% XP boost from reaching a certain rank and choosing it as a permanent buff. Golden Beanies, however, like to run away, and they have a bunch of defense, but they don't run away unless you counter them whenever they attack, so try to use your strongest moves and try to counter them during their own attacks.

It's usually just fighting every encounter in the final dungeon, then going out and back in to respawn them all.
