>>54657403If we’re talking specifically E4 and ignoring the champion as part of things - yeah I’d say that’s not an un-reasonable assessment.
5 could be up there, but they fucked themselves over by going to only having 4 mons. 6 is fucked the same way but even easier. 4 has a fucking bug type leader, so you might as well be fighting an elite 3, and 2 has similar issues with Koga - whose also dragged down by Bruno again.
Alola’s okay on paper, but Z-moves just let you remove whatever your biggest problem is each fight.
I’m not going to say that 3 doesn’t have their problems - Glacia and Phoebe’s repeats hurt - but Drake specifically can be a run ender. You really need to dedicate someone on your team specifically for Ice Beam, and if you don’t have that or they die you’re sorta fucked. And that’s likely a water type, not an ice type, so you’re not going to get STAB off it as well.
