Was Team Flare an easier team than usual?

Was I just me or was team flare like a total joke? I found them to by ridiculously easy to beat.

It's not like they were any easier individually, but as a Team, yes, they were indeed quite easy to beat.
I think they should have had more appearances.
[Lord Summerisle:] "Now, those children out there, they're jumping through the flames in the hope that the god of the fire will make them fruitful. Really, you can't blame them. After all, what girl would not prefer the child of a god to that of some acne-scarred artisan?"

[Sergeant Howie:] "And you encourage them in this?"

[Lord Summerisle:]"Actively! It's most important to teach new generation born of Summerisle be made aware that here the old gods aren't dead."

[Sergeant Howie:]"And what of the true God? To whose glory churches and monasteries have been built on these islands for generations past? Now what of Him?"

[Lord Summerisle:]"Oh, He's dead. He can't complain. He had his chance and in modern parlance. Blew it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Lord Summerisle:]“And the ministers fled the island never to return. What my grandfather started out of expediency, my father continued out of love. He brought me up the same way: to reverence the music, and the drama, and the rituals of the old gods; to love nature and to fear it, and to rely on it and to appease it when necessary. He brought me up —”

[Sergeant Howie:]“He brought you up to be a pagan!”

[Lord Summerisle:]“A heathen, conceivably, but not, I hope, an unenlightened one.”

I agree with that. Like on top of being easier, there just really weren't too many encounters with them.

I found Team Flare to be rather weak overall Their plot is menacing enough, but their various appearances seems so disconnected from each other that they hardly seem like a threat until near the end of the game. I won't spoil anything, but I will say there's an interesting little twist about them in the postgame. As far as the battles go, they were somewhat of a pushover, with the exception of the final fight with Lysandre Mega Gyrados took out two of my Pokemon before I stopped it.

To be honest with you, until the Admins came into the picture, I got the impression that there were only two or three Grunts in the entire team, and even after the Admins arrived that impression never really went away. They were definitely not developed as well as Galactic or Plasma were, which is disappointing, because these people were supposed to be the successors... but oh well.

Just gonna throw this here..
Spoiler:



Idk, they didn't seem any easier than really any of the other teams. But maybe that's because Cyrus's Crobat flinching every attack just seems ridiculously overpowered.
I heard before the theory that Malva was a team flare member, I didn't took it seriously, now it seems that this actually true. It would be cool if she re-establish team flare in the third game/sequels.

I can't remember if she mentions something about you taking down Flare when you first meet at the entrance of the E4, but she does seem to hate you for some reason.
Yes, she does call us the hero who defeated team flare, but the word hero is writen in quatation marks, which seems weird.

Well as a Team Flare grunt told me "We put the fashion into fear!"
Jokes aside as a unit they where pretty easy to beat.
I love Grass, Ghost and Dragon Pokemon. I also like Eevees. Currently Playing X

It was definitely easy, but then again... I never had problems with the evil teams. So I don't necessarily think that Team Flare was easier but definitely not harder too.

Spoiler:
Malva is an ex-member of Team Flare. She confirms this in the Looker sidequests at the end of the game.

It wasn't just Team Flare it was the entire game. The new Exp Share was overpowered and made the game too easy.
I agree...it was too easy...due to the exp.Share...
I even defeated the E4 and Champion without losing once >_<...I hope they change it back to the way it was in Gen's 2-5 for Z and RS remakes (if any of those things happen).

Haha, I never actually beat the Pokémon League in any game until Unova, so I don't know whether I want it to go back to being harder or not... I think Sinnoh was the best, where it wasn't unreasonably hard, but you still needed to put in strategy to win.

Cynthia's still the hardest female champion...Iris was somewhat difficult...and Diantha is a little hard but easy at the same time...

Yeah, I never quite got past Cynthia until I bit the bullet and Rare Candied my Pokémon up to level 60, haha. Diantha was only difficult when her Gardevoir came out.
