I wanted to update my living dex in Pokemon Home to replace Pokemon that I'm not the original trainer of with Pokemon that I am the OT of, and I figured that the Dynamax Adventures mode in the Sw/Sh DLC would be an easy way to get some of the legendaries that I was missing. At least, I thought it would be easier than replaying entire gen 5-7 games to catch them in the post-game (which I'll still need to do for Tornadus since it's only available in this mode in Sword and not Shield) but man, was I wrong.

This mode is fucking horrendous. Needing to rely on both rental Pokemon with terrible movesets and AI partners making braindead move choices adds a ton of annoying RNG checks to the mode, so even when I find the Pokemon I'm looking for, chances are my team doesn't win the raid battle against it. Plus, you have little control over what legendary you go for too. Once you run into a legendary, you can make a "note" of it to immediately go back to it (which led to me trying and failing to beat Zygarde 20 times in a row before I gave up on it) but after over 200 runs through the mode I still haven't seen Thundurus a single time, who's the only legendary I can get from the mode that I still need besides Zygarde.

Sorry for the /blogFAQs rant, I just needed to vent. But seriously, fuck this mode. Honestly, just fuck Pokemon Sw/Sh in general.
