Personally, I find them piss easy...The entire game is piss easy if you just remember type matchups, which isn't usually too difficult if you just think about it logically. The only weird one was figuring out what steel is weak to and being confused when I finally did for some of them. I'm replaying USUM right now and I'm almost done with becoming champion, and only just NOW am I finding there to be a tiny bit of a challenge, but mainly with fighting legendaries.
