Hey y'all,
I playtested a random PTA encounter with two friends last night. It was fun for the most part, but attacks (all attacks) just seem way too strong.
Let's take a look at Bubblebeam. It deals 3d8+10 damage. The user adds his Special Attack stat, and most likely STAB. The only thing a defender can subtract is his Special Defense.
This attack one-shotted its two opponents in a battle where all pokemon were level 13 and water wasn't super-effective against either opponent.
Is this just how PTA is played - battles are all ended in two or three rounds, max? Or am I missing something?
