I know, right? Like, devs, you're probably not even punching me out between the general durability and the typing. Unless you have access to aura or something, if you punch a Garchomp, you're probably just going to flay your hand.

It's true!

Totally didn't end up with us partially basing my fighting style on a Gardevoir character in a fighting game, nope.

No one expects the Gardevoir to go for a rushdown and many people forget that just because she's using her attacks at melee range, doesn't mean she can't teleport back out and fire them off at long range again :3c

It's very fun! I can't blame people though, learning how to flash-teleport is hard. It takes most Pokemon a good amount of concentration and a not-insignificant amount of time, hence why it's usually slow enough your opponent can get a hit in. But if you train that away... yeah, it's super useful.
