Why Mega Pokemon in Shuffle aren't boss fights.

I would agree but ive been stuck on every one for more than one attempt after lopunny.. (still on glalie taken 20 tries + still haven't beaten) and the only time ive had to pay was for Glalie mega.... and im still on it.....

 

I wish they were boss fights but they are indeed money grabs. Not a surprising shift but a sad one nonetheless. I'm not terribly far into the game, I'm about to fight mega altaria

 

Oh yeah, I've noticed the harsh difficulty spike. I thought my troubles were over after Mega Mawile, but Mega Glalie was a wake-up call that this game isn't gonna get any easier, even with Mega Mawile. Disruption Delays are pretty much a must if you wanna beat these bosses, and +5 Moves usually are, as well. The same could be said for Keldeo, who's absolutely brutal compared to the other "Special" Pokémon we've had thus far, but at least battling Keldeo isn't necessary to beat the game.

 

Yep, for sure they absolutely spike in difficulty and it really sucks. Since I'm putting no money into the game, I'm left with throwing my hearts into these uber-powerful Megas repeatedly in the hopes that I'll get lucky or farming for experience points will level up my support Pokémon enough. I think I've tried at least 12 times on Mega Gengar, and it's so close it's almost not worth paying the extra coins for the boosts.

 

This is why I really don't like Pokémon Shuffle. A Puzzle game is meant to make you think, and there is no thinking involved in this game. Even if you make all the right moves, you could still lose, and with the later boss-fights, the only way to win truly is to buy power-ups with coins. Really, the game is very mindless and has minimal strategy involved.

Of course, if their plan was to get me to spend real money just to catch those Megas or anything else in the game, it didn't work. When it comes to Freemium games, I'm too patient to buy what I can slowly farm in game for.
