>>47860750>fighting single pokemon can be hardnot when they're not EV trained, have no stat boosts, and are almost always the same level as your pokemon or lower.
>They have enhanced IV's thoughdoesn't mean anything when they have 0 EVs. They're still going to be worse than your Pokemon.
>The biggest thing is the AIThe AI that's often dogshit and spams status moves for no reason or in the case of DP uses completely random moves?
>With totems sleep and poison moves fuck it over hardWith trainer NPCs simply using rock paper scissors fuck it over hard. You instantly win when you have a Pokemon that can either outspeed or doesn't get 2HKO'd by anything the opposing Pokemon has which is incredibly easy to do.
>And it's still your entire team against 1 monIt's your entire team against 1 pokemon and 1 other pokemon which constantly respawns, at once, which is harder than fighting 3-6 shitmons in a row.
>while the main game itself is why too casual in comparisonIlima's Smeargle, the USUM teacher's starter, Ultra Recon Squad Furfrou, and Hau's Raichu are still more challenging fights than literally anything in all of gen 4 and 5. Cope harder.
