Is PokeMMO harder than the original games and previous years of PokeMMO?

[Soturnik717]

As a long term pokemon games player I've noted PokeMMO seems to be pretty harder compared to the original ones. The NPC's Pokemon knows strong attacks and always try a super effective move against the player, which not usually happens in the original games. By the way, I played PokeMMO some years ago in Kanto and had no difficulty at all at the League but now was different and still couldn't beat Gary, which is amazing because it's quite challenging. Anyway, it is only my impression or this game is really harder than usual?

If you play smart, it's not tougher. You would need to get a sweeper and run it full time to beat the E4 with no problems, but as I get older, I learned that the E4 now needs at least 10 Revive items and 2 poke that can rock shit. Starmie, Gengar, Lapras, Krookorok. Big boys that can nuke the E4 v1.0 help you get through it and then you can play the regular game. The regular game being... just people grinding and farming. Good luck!

Due to the fact that gym leaders and E4 have been tweaked... I don't think that there is any poke that can face-roll much.  If there is... I would not tell Devs because they quickly nerf it. Sweepers and strong physical attacks win the day.
