all of the fun weird stuff is in the Tera battles so like why would you ever catch the same pokémon twice
@Lady I have two Growlithes because I thought I'd need a full team of fire pokemon to take on the grass leader
@noelle i always end pokémon games with way too many pokémon so i'm really trying to show restraint with this one
this isn't EXACTLY true, like word is if you catch a bunch of pokémon in swarms it gives you extra shiny rolls, but it's more true than in SwSh where there were Brilliant Pokémon, or in games with a radar function / rustling grass, or so forth
