Totems and some lategame fights are somewhat of a challenge, it's better than gen 6 in that aspect.

Oh yeah, finding level 10 salamences on route 3 doesn't casualize anything.

The Salazzle Totem fight is harder than anything in XY and ORAS combined.

The second totem fight has a School Wishiwashi in the rain, that can summon a Pokemon with Heal Pulse.

Based on the leaked gameplay vids of someone battling the Elite 4 on YouTube, I'd say they're more of a challenge.

Holy fuck this. I had no counter to that thing.

Wishiwashi was a bitch for me too because I started with Litten and Charjabug died so easily.

I'm stuck on the elite four right now and am somehow 10 levels below all the E4 pokes. Dunno what i did, maybe skipped too many trainers along the way. Caught a mimikyu and been trying to raise it up with exp share doesnt help the cause

I caught one of the level 18 wishiwashi before Lana's trial and I used a z-move to one shot salazzle.

AI was better. Elite 4 switched a pokemon into one with water absorb when I used a water move. Can't say that ever happened in gen 6.

Extremely rare spawn, maybe 5%.

Same thing for Munchlax. The game has ultra rare encounters hidden in inconspicuous locations.

Definitely more challenging than Gen 5 and 6. Probably even 4.

Challenging in general, though? No, not really, and Pokemon never has been tbqh senpai.

If I didn't have any electric/grass mon that would have been hell.
Luckly for me I had Charjabug and he solo carried the team.
About after 5-7 Potions

It seems like totem fights in general are either One-shot the boss or get royally fucked by an actual strategy that takes advantage of the fact that the enemy outnumbers you.

It's a Bagon, obviously.

Otherwise he's not, but see:

Most people won't even know he was there until they encounter one in their Seen Pokedex on a trainer in the second island.

The hardest part is that in just about every battle of importance your Pokemon are always going to be slower. It's fucking retarded. All the trial leaders and kahunas, elite 4, etc. have these Kanto/Hoenn pokemon that have decent speed stats and you get raped by them.

I want to use the alola pokes cause they are new, but im underlevelled at end game and get shut down because of the speed stats. There is a Primeape absolutely pushing my shit in and I have no counter to it because everyone on my team is slower than it

What other Pokémon games' difficulty are these comparable to? For example, I would say the gen 4 games are very easy overall but tough compared to the other Pokémon games.

No, Salamence was in the pastebin and other anons confirmed you can find a lower level salamence than bagon, I imagine the capture rate is awful though and fighting a salamence at your level and point in the game is a rough capture.

The funny thing about this game is that a lot of the new Pokemon available in S/M are so shit (for ingame, probably comp. too but that's not relevant here) that it naturally makes the game harder, especially if you turn off exp share.

So many Pokemon are slow as fuck with mediocre defenses but one really high attacking stat but that doesn't mean as much as you'd think for ingame.

Still easy though.
