STRIKE!
I haven’t played a Pokémon since red blue. Just picked up shield.

Are there any big gameplay changes? It’s still essentially using the correct Pokémon type to get bonus damage against enemy Pokémon right?

STRIKE!
I have conquered the first two gyms.

Outside of the dynamax 4v1 fights in the wild area, I have yet to find a reason to use the weird condition/effect attacks rather than the highest damage type attack.

The damage to health balance of most fights means that it never seems worth it to give up an attack for a turn.

Game is pretty easy so far but also has great game feels.

Tldr: I like the game

I am the champion of the Pokémon.

I don’t think I really did it right though. I kind of just grabbed a few generically good Pokémon and brute forced my way through. Didn’t really customize my team for each encounter.

I also unfortunately never really got to the point where the non attack moves were worth it, as the thread described. I couldn’t sacrifice the PP!

I think it might be fun to do it again with a gimmick build. Team of half ghosts with the super fun explosion and curse abilities. Then the other half of the team are big hp and defense dudes who could survive a couple turns using revives on the ghosts.
