if you look at morty's gengar since ghost is now special instead of physical like it used to be shadow ball wrecks ppl
i ve heard people get their team swept by it
same thing with the focus punching polywhirl, he doesn't care about the sleep clause sleep everything in your party
look pokemon was never meant to be hard
but people seem to over train ALOT ive heard people saying they got to level 17 b4 the first gym, then they complain about it saying its too weak
at least they have strategies now, U-turning into walls, sub punching, roost on falkners pokemon.
but they crippled falkner along time ago by giving ppl mareep so early in the game
also nosepass sucked, he was weak to every starter (if you evolved torchic)
