>>19681658To give you an example of what hard mode changes, the gym leader cheren normally has a LV11 Patraat and a level 12 Lillipup.
He now has a LV 12 Patrat, LV14 Lillipup, LV14 Pidove.
They spam workup until 4x attack and heal with potion above 50% health if my move will kill them, and then each of them will proceed to sweep with quick attack.
The teams are heavily augmented, the AI is much smarter, and my only away around it is to either type my team to defend which is against nuzlocke, or grind away the challenge, on a nearby field that has level 2-5 pokemon.
Basically what im asking, is, is hard mode worth nuzlocking with certain things tweaked to better accomodate, or should I just forget about it?
Its probaably worth mentioning that every trainer is like this, not just gym leaders.
