There's an interesting story behind that - it appears that they copy-pasted Cleffa's data when encoding Azurill, making it the only pokemon to have a different gender ratio than its evolution. It's also the only pokemon to have a harder catch rate than its evo, and it could also explain why it's Normal instead of Water.
If anything it makes past games look, off. Here you are, going head to head against the strongest, most notable trainer of an entire region, yet there's literally nobody else there. Considering how battling is a universal concept one would think there's be grandstands for the big matches like that everywhere. Though it was always like that in the anime so, guess that made up for it...?
This tbh.
There are better ways of doing that. You should try save scumming, I've saved countless Wishing Shards and triggered several pink beams with that exploit.
Oh I know. But I don’t mind the grind.
This is a problem I have right now too. Yesterday, I thought I'll just do a couple raids and see what I'll get. I found the Gigantimax Snorlax and I got rubbish NPCs, not even the Hawlucha could do much! Why am I stuck with weak NPC partners in post game? Why can't they have bigger and stronger Pokémon as a reward for completing the game?
Zacian, Zamazenta and Eternatus can't Dynamax. To counter-balance that, each has a signature move that deals double damage to Dynamax'd Pokémon.
So it's brain dead AI vs. a grab bag of competent and brain dead players for postgame help.Not a complaint to GF but some brain-dead moron with Eternius didn't Dynamax in the raid and we lost the raid. You little git. The next raid team I had was a guy with a shiny Machamp carrying the rest of us. >w> Thank you shiny Machamp guy but the catch was unsuccessful.
IMHO I think the braindead AI is there to mimic the many braindead players you find doing raids.
Shout out to all the people spending a turn on dragon dance right before the gigantomax resets all their boosts to nothing like they do every couple turns.
Shout out to the people who actually go into max raids and spam AoE moves on purpose and kill everyone else in the raid.
I assumed it was possible but I've never actually seen it in the 20 or so Max raids I've done. Probably because it's impossible to get much satisfaction because there's no way to react to it other then move choice. Kind of surprised that I haven't seen it yet because several of the better moves in singles hit everyone (surf, earthquake) but I don't expect your average Pokemon player to know that.
Good, and let's hope it stays that way. If More people knew, then more people would abuse it for the lulz.
Clutch for me was that one kid with the Mudbray. We were up against this Gigantamax Butterfree and I was using Tyranitar to try and get x4 super effective damage. I had seen the Mudbray use other type moves so I dismissed him as useless for the battle. Eventually, the Butterfree was able to take down my Tyranitar with its G-Max move that I forgot it had, and only one more of our teammates could faint. It had pretty much no health and it was a smidge away from fainting. The Solrock on our team went for Cosmic Power and I forgot who the other Pokemon was but I remembered it missed its attack, so I was pissed because I thought I would have to do the battle all over again, but then Mudbray comes clutch and uses a Rock type move that lands, taking out the Butterfree. It was quite fun to have it come clutch when another hit from that Butterfree would've lost us the battle.
