I kinda know the feeling; it's about how my Ultra Sun playthrough's been going. Against the game's version of Gym Battles I've been struggling like crazy (to the point of actively hating one of the NPCs), but against everything else I've basically been pulling an Oracle.

Speaking of which, let me know if a Lv 14 Pikapek suddenly crash-lands in your game, okay? I was trying a new move out on one and I think I hit it hard enough to tear a hole in space-time.
