Is there any difference between wifi battles playstyle and showdown's?

Sep. 6, 2019



I have perceived that in the console online battles people is less prone to switch or something, which makes the play style quite different to Showdown battles.

That’s pretty confusing when it’s time to predict the next move… So I would like to know what exactly makes the difference.

In showdown, there is a ladder where you battle people of similar competive skill and general knowledge of the game, so they will make smarter moves.

I have a feeling that the console games battles online are more about using the Pokémon you can get (you’ll probably see less legendaries, or Garchomp, Salamence or Volcarona and more starter). The console ones are more about using your favourite Pokémon and better graphics.

It also may just be due to the format you’re playing.
