>>55763419I'm one of the guys who won on my second run. First run didn't get anywhere so I didn't get any eggs or anything, not that I would have known how to use them yet. All that I knew going in was that Eternatus was the final boss, since I read the thread before playing. My final team, which I posted in the last thread, was Cinderace/Inteleon/Lilligant/Tauros-Paldea/Excadrill/Garganacl, and half of them had only STAB moves because coverage was hard to come by.
You don't need insane mons to beat the game, it's actually really damn easy. Coming from Emerald Rogue where you can't let your mons faint or you lose them forever, there's way more strategic options. Saccing a mon to get a free switch in isn't a potentially game-losing choice, it's just a little hit to your cash.
All the metaprogression feels utterly pointless when it's easy enough to win without any of it and there's no hard mode. I really wish the game was both significantly harder and significantly shorter.
