My opponent got 4 legends and I got weird pokemon like comfey having a moveset with no stab moves. I defeated just 5, but I still got rekt.

I think they just like to fuck with people and intentionally let in shitty sets. I got shit like Lugia without recovery or Cosmic Power Sigilyph without stored power.

Random enough to give you or your opponent a pokemon that can singlehandedly sweep the other team.

It's not random. Simply put, there's a threshold below which the RNG is on your side. Above that, the RNG is on your foe's side. Your position relative to the threshold changes every time you are connected to the server.

Moltres may be a legend, but it has always been garbage.
