Well since they're not doing Battle Frontier areas in the main games (Because they believe their target audience's attention span is too short and they're competing with mobile games, hence why the games since Gen 6 have been linear, hand-holding, and "Cinematic" as all hell... - Oh, and don't expect the Gen 8 Switch game to fix that mentality either...)

Walking wake actually plays differently from Suicune It’s a lot better offensively and hard to wall with Water + Fire + Dragon coverage since Blissey sucks in OU and Mega Altaria doesn’t exist Tapu Fini, Dragapult, Lati Twins, Roaring Moon , Empoleon etc are all just checks Plays a lot better and is currently in a suspect test in OU due to its speed power bulk and amazing coverage
