>>55816243>so? It still gave me incentive to use my other pokemon.Ah, yes, of course. It's only convenient to break your norms when it benefits your logic. My mistake, truly.
>anon, you know other pokemon have different stats and moves and abilities right?Correct. But we're talking about Ultra Necrozma, a Pokemon who not only has some of the highest offensive stats in the entire franchise, but also has an omniboost to its stats as if it had just launched a successful Ancient Power, Silver Wind or Ominous Wind, making it even stronger. Ultra Necrozma uses a movepool that is only fully resisted by Steel Types that are not susceptible to taking neutral damage from Psychic, Dragon, Rock or Steel in any shape or form. Thus, the only logical solution to counteract this sheer degree of damage output is to either exploit Toxic via Mimikyu or Zoroark, or use a defensive Steel Type that resists all of those moves in order to get a proper start in the battle. There is no open-ended strategy here, you are LITERALLY being forced to either severely overlevel or rely on a select few Pokemon to stand a reasonabel chance.
>Isn’t it worse game design to give me literally no reason to use anything but my overleveled Infernape and end up sweeping Cynthia?Ah, yes, of course. It's only convenient to break your norms when it benefits your logic. My mistake, truly. I love the acknowledgement of "It's shit, yes, but THIS is shittier! Therefore, I still win!"
