Say what you want about Dynamax, but at least the gym leaders didn't make themselves weaker when they used it.

So instead of covering their weaknesses like fans always wanted leaders just have another stab user that you trample as soon as you have the speed advantage

It's sad honestly

They just wanted to make the pun about Sudowoodo not being a grass type.

It's probably one of the first gyms too.

The Gym Leader here would have just another Grass type they would use instead.
Also Dynamax was shit because of its effects on competitive, not so much the already piss easy games.

They wanted to make it easier for players to sweep gym leaders with their free CHARIZARD

>tfw ember is actually super effective against sudowoodo this time

I think that new move used in this battle, Trailblaze, is a grass type flame charge with a base power of 60 instead of 50 and the TM Brassius give you

The bug gym leader girl will use a teddiursa that terastalyze into a bug type and thats ok, grass and bug are the first gyms they dont need to be so strong

I think it should be the opposite, if anything.
Have a monotype team, and terastalize a mon to cover the rest of the team's weakness.

Yep. Auto-battles even go into gym leaders using terastal.

The Sudowoodo is designed so that it becomes a Grass type with Rock coverage.
A good idea in theory but in execution not sure how that works.

The way it should work is they only Terastalise after one or two turns, depending on their health.

Ahahaha.
This game is going to need one hell of a difficulty rom hack to be fixed, especially with the non-scaling open world combined with forced exp all basically guaranteeing a snowball to anyone going even an inch outside the main path.

>Grass type gym leaders uses grass types instead or another type
CALL THE PRESS

Hopefully they're just going for the meme so the guy can finally water his Sudowoodo and other trainers will use the mechanic properly.

That's a little too much hope, user.

Hope so too. Like have the Ice leader change and Ice type to Ground, and now they hit 3 or their weaknesses with SE STAB. Dream scenario would be something akin to:
>fire leader
>getting swept by Water/Rock/Ground
>ace transforms into a Grass type

mmh the issue is that it always teras in the first turn
instead of staying Rock type if it gives the AI an advantage

>Have the type specialist designed explicitly to teach you about a specific type's matchups not use said type
Fucking retard.

We don't know that yet. Maybe GF improved the AI.
They didn't, obviously, but we don't know that yet.

confirmed by map to be early

Considering he used a Smoliv, I would say he is likely the earliest/lowest level gym leader in the game (which is disappointing since I really love his design and personality)
This. It might not be quite as thematic, but it makes way more strategic sense

Hes the first gym, this is literally just to teach children how the mechanic works. The other gym leaders will use it properly
