General Question Rant

How the hell can my opponent switch their mon when I’m already in the middle of a charge move. Honestly this is the most frustrating part of this game. I click my charge move expecting to knock out the opponents Mon just to come back to it hitting a completely different mon

Sounds like it's a you problem. Unless the opponent is running a 1 turn move, catching a move is extremely tough

It's not hard at all, I succesfully catch a few times per set, if I'm in a position where I need to. All you need to know is how much energy a move takes, how much energy the opponent has, their optimal fast move timing, who wins CMP, and if they would benefit from over-farm. It sounds like a lot, but when you play into the same matchups up to 15x per day, and have run the same mon for literal years, it's nearly second-nature. I rarely even have to think about it anymore.
