>>39685233As a whole Paldea is incredibly weak. Apparently, it's exceedingly rare for the students to get past the 2nd gym without quitting. So you (and Nemona, who is also weak) are considered absurdly strong even if you're average because you actually bothered to finish the Gym Run into the E4. It makes it worse when you fight them again during the School garbage that you help set up and they're all like "I WON'T HOLD BACK THIS TIME!" and still get swept by a singular fucking Pokemon. They also rely too much on terrastilization.
