If the only viable option is to cheese it then yes, it's artificial difficulty

Pokémon is notoriously easy to trivialize so the only way to make things seem difficult at all is artificially.
Like how the special event raids they had with Mewtwo and Zearora were at level 100 and could use more than 4 moves

Artificial difficulty, no. Poor boss design, yes.

Going in blind, there was a high chance of just getting outsped and ohko'd six times with no way to stop it.
Any player with half a brain would be able to beat it the second time without any issues.

The fight is entirely dependent on you knowing what it does and how to beat it, which is opposite of every other fight in the game but isn't "fake" difficulty. Fangames have had bosses like this for years, for example, but those games have actual difficulty throughout so the sweeper bosses are more likely to already be covered by a competent team.
You don't need a competent team to beat usum.

You don't have to cheese. I won by reviving my Mimikyu a few times and just fighting it like I would anything else. Zoroark is just the most popular strategy because it was a common pokemon for USUM teams.

There's no such thing as 'artificial difficulty'
Either it's difficult, or it isn't.

Necrozma isn't difficult, it's just a gimmick that might take you two attempts to beat as >>44151475
said
You could achieve the same thing with a boss that was just a Shedninja, it's not difficult to beat at all as long as you bring a counter that is 100% certain to work.

>>44151494
>Mimikyu
is cheese

Anyways, I still don’t understand why gen7 zoomers praise this crap. Totems actually require you to think and come up with a good moveset to hit two opponents, this thing is just bugged to ohko your mon, you just need to use type advantage to win

This pic reminded me of a certain thread that was all about posting a pic and you'd get a soundscape. And everyone laughed at me!

I don't think people like those should talk about difficulty in pokemon games.

I don't think people who don't know the rules for nuzlocke, should speak on them.
