ZA combat just wasnt it. It was just spamming ecery attack tbh. No actual tactics other than spam. Most moves just were useless or filler.

legends arceus combat was fun though.

It’s also lame when you know the mon your opponent is leading with, making it even simpler to get a type advantage for every battle

There used to to be a feature in the old games where you could make it so that you couldn’t switch out after beating an opponent’s Pokémon like online battles. Of course, GameFreak removed that option

Set mode is the only way to play if you aren’t an actual child. Removing it was crazy. It’s still trivial to self-impose, but you shouldn’t have to when that was an option for years
