      Being underleveled isn't really that big of an issue since it makes the game a decent challenge and much more fun.
      Being overlevelled however I find to be a major problem. I think they should only scale to match your level if weaker, if they're stronger they should def stay that way so you have to either get better or use strategy. Even being about 5 or so levels under you can easily pull out wins by using your brain just a lil bit.

  • @cryolitegem

    The tera thing changes a Pokémon’s type to whatever its tera type is while it is active. So that Sudowoodo, when it’s in its tera form thing is actually a pure grass type. I thinks it’s funny for him in particular because it’s like a sudo sudowoodo

    Hey Choc. The move round is related to music. A round is when there are background vocals that are a measure or two behind the lead vocal I believe. So 1 person sings a line and when beginning the second line another person starts the first line a little quieter. That's why the move does more damage when more people join in on the "round". I believe it's supposed to exemplify more people singing together.

The only interesting thing to me is that gym leaders have secondary jobs, and that's only really relevant to Iono/grusha's pre battle themes. Ryme's pre battle thing is the most underwhelming being just the dragon gym from sw/sh (3 double battles) but with ghost types, though she was prob my hardest battle. I also hated how they did terastalize in the gyms since its always just that leaders type making it too easy to counter. Would've been much cooler if they had a pokemon of their type, but terastalized it to counter their weaknesses (like bug girl could become water to remove fire weakness, or grass could become rock to remove fire/flying weakness, that sorta thing).
      The e4 were just awful. No cool rooms/atmospheres for the battles at all, just one padded asylum looking room, and the worst champion I'd argue in the whole series, character and battle wise (apart from maybe hau).

So I gave him a chance and he's looking good now👍 I actually took on Katy the bug lady (gorgeous btw) before Brassius and that was a night match. Challenging and a fun time.
