Always a good time playing a Drayano hack, I went through on normal difficulty and had a really good time. I really like how Pokemon are rebalanced so the typically terrible ones can fulfill at least some role, I even had a Ledian for a couple gyms. The ease of EV training is also a great boon, for more difficult hacks many people are almost always going to choose to grind those out, so making it very accessible seems like the right choice to me.

Maybe it was just a function of how my team was built, but for me the weather trainers in Victory Road took a lot more strategy to beat than the Elite 4 which felt a little wonky to me.
My final team was: Samurott, Porygon-Z, Jumpluff, Aggron, Flygon, and Rapidash
