Now, if that's the strength of a 2nd Year team, not even 3rd year, then imagine the strength of a graduated, profesional Hunter team. As soon as you do that, you realize the Grimm are a complete joke. Heh... Gurren Lagann? You can always make something more epic. The team actually joke about TTGL a bit in relation to topping previous epic things in the show.

Grimm are pretty secondary at this point. Remember that we've only seen a few higher ranked grimm so far. Even in breach there's only 2 or 3 whereas the rest are all low ranked cannon fodder. It's also been said the stronger ones are smarter, waiting patiently for their chance to attack vs the newer low ranks who seem to blindly and aggressively attack when given the chance.

That said, I also wouldn't be surprised if the grimm were somewhat of a joke (though not so much so the hunters/huntresses find them that way), and the scare tactics were all part of that 'one huge lie' and political deception we keep hearing about.
