Why is Battle Tree so absolutely sadistic with RNG?

It's generally better to use bulky shit that hits hard rather than stall mons like toxapex as things like flinching and crits tend to fuck them over a little more since they give the opponent more chances to get lucky. Still the reality is pokemon as a game does just have a lot of luck to it and it feels magnified by having fights only 3v3 or 4v4 even without taking into account how fucked the battle tree RNG can be

You have to be crazy to go on Battle Tree with a team like that. I mean it's good, but doesn't each battle take an hour?

Being able to switch from earthquake bait stall wife to rocket wife is pretty handy for dealing with the AI, and even if it goes slow a more likely win is going to take you further. I don't really like using mimikyu for the tree myself though. I did a pretty similar set up for the singles tree, but I would either put some bullshit mega (like salamence) in the third slot or something that could switch into electric moves (as toxipek and celasteela both tend to bring those out of the AI)

Use faster and more offensive pokemon. the more you let the opponent move the more susceptible you are to bullshit.

Okay how the fuck did Glalie survive an +1 Outrage from a mega Salamence?! And it basically tore my pokemon apart because of that. That was seriously a load of shit.

Anyway this should answer your question and yeah the outcome would have potentially been the same with adamant megamence.

For Singles people tend to spam Mega Salamence the Tapus and Garchomp. Mimikyu and the UBs are pretty popular too. I just won my 50th single battle with Primarina, Hydreigon and Mega Metagross.
