The first "Gym" battle way too hard. Just me?

[cil]

Ok so is it just me or is the 1st gym like the hardest thing on the planet. Like it was a grind enough to get to her.

First of all lemme just point out that the story on this game is all over the place like you travel to 2 towns and then all of a sudden there's these team rocket looking people out of no where like your not eased into it at all its just "this is a thing now" I'm not hating on the game its fun and all but like cmon could of at least made it better to guide the player.

Anyway onto the actual point. She has a full team of 6 which btw I personally don't have a full set straight away because I didn't see any interest in any of the TemTem's I was finding I suppose I could grind more and level up my team more but with the amount you do at the start to get to the 1st gym you expect to be higher enough level to do the gym. But its not like that at all you just get smashed hard by her and she has TemTems that you don't even get at the start at the game. At least I didn't find any of them like "Sparzy" and "Oceara".

All I'm saying is they could of cut the team into like 4 and made it a little bit easier for those like me who doesn't have a full team and is forced to level up more because shes so OP. Does anyone agree with me? Or am I just that ass at this game probably both but thought id put this here so at least one of you reading this can relate to my pain

There's a lot more I could go on about on this game like the TemTems not showing what type they are on the battle screen and you sorta have to guess. Unless I'm utterly blind and I cant see any notification on what type the other TemTems are. Anyway I'm rambling now....Thanks for reading <3 I guess this discussion is all over the place LUL

You need a team of 6. I made the same mistake too, when I got to Sophia I got destroyed because I only had 4 tems. I would recommend as well generally you just catch everything new, this game is quite different to pokemon especially in difficulty. Ganki is REALLY good against Sophia if you haven't already got one.

But yeah... get a team of 6, you don't need to be overleveled to win this fight but a team of 6 will give you enough tems to be able to trade hits and win if you play it right.That's how I did it anyway, focus the threats (Sparzy and Oceara) in particular.

It is not too hard, but yes it is hard if you push the quests directly. Maybe this will have to be adjusted in the future or a few new side quests that will stop you from going to the Dojo with low lvl. At least the first. In the end you are not taken enough by the hand as a tutorial.

It is essential to understand the Academy and what is written there and especially at the beginning you want to start playing and I think many read only superficially.

IF you have caught the Tem before the move circle will indicate weakness. Knowing what element the Tems are is up to you, and requires actual knowledge on your part -Or- you can just catch, evolve everything and rely on the circle.
