So, USUM was challenging at least, what about sword and shield?

judging from the leaked gameplay stream it's shaping up to be X/Y-tier difficulty, if not even easier

I'm not joking

The streamer's starter was evolved to midstage and at L19 when he was facing Bede's unevolved L14 Pokemon
You cannot turn off exp share.
That should give you a good idea of how it is.

Ultra Necrozma was an outlier, we'll never get something like that ever again.

Yeah I have no problem with healers when there is a safe path to a pokemon center anyways, they are merely time savers.

Judging from what's been revealed so far, its probably going to be the easiest game ever... Closest thing to "difficult" is frustration at not being able to capture rare potential shinies before you get the right badges.

the totems in usum make every gym leader in SW/SH cower in fear.

they would have been challenging if only THEY could dynamax and not you, but since you can too they essentially become generic battles.

They were. Gen 7 was decently challenging as long as you just turned off exp share and changed it to set battles.

Anyone complaining about how easy the games are but still using Switch mode need to be shot in the dick

The exp share seems balanced (level wise) especially if you don’t just over level your starter things will be pretty even if not higher level than you. Gym leaders seem pretty standard though, looks challenging cus retardkun is a retard. If you’re a retard though you will find it hard

Despite being overleveled earlygame, mid game pokemon are out leveling most of the streamers mons except inteleon, except for Hop. Even regular wild pokemon (not the wild area) were higher level than hop.

Unless it was a crit, regardless of using Incineroar or Decidueye both of them must've used their Z-move and be at least at level 59 to kill it in one shot, which would make you kind of pathetic.

No, you're kind of pathetic for being 6-8 levels over your supposed level. UN is supposed to be 10 or so levels over your team. No one's starters except those who grinded has a starter over level 54 by the time.

Yes, which is why i'm saying that you were supposedly overleveled. Dawn/Dusk Necrozma is lv50 and a normal playe's starter is either under that or 2-3 levels higher. But not 6, 8 or 10.

At least in SwSh the Raid mons feel like actual boss battles and not like you jumped into a Smogon singles match after the baton pass.

Oh for some reason I thought Ultra Necrozma was 70. He's only 60 and you don't need to grind at all to reach those numbers. I think saying "if you didn't end up at the same levels as I did, you grinded!" is pretty pathetic to be honest...

You absolutely have to.

It isn't. This is simply an average of dozens and dozens of people's levels when they reached it. Combined with my own forced grinding of Tyranitar and starter to evolution/54. But unlike you i'm not trying to find excuses for grinding. And my grinding happened after a sound defeat too, not before.

To be fair it was only a challenge if you didn't use top tier in game Pokémon. I recently played them with stuff like Magnezone and Malamar in my team and it was a cakewalk.

You really do. Being 10 levels or so below is the standard with Exp Share on, playing without it leaves you at about 15 levels below.
This is with beating all trainers.
