This sounds like you are selling drugs
if i see an eternamax with a healing move i just forfeit. it’s not worth it
i’ve never seen sturdinja. but you do see wonder guard a nontrivial amount of times!

it’s even more annoying in gen 9 because tera changes your wincon against it to something else you can’t possibly account for (not that you can really account for wonder guard anyway)

odds of Wonder Guard are a lot higher than odds of Random Sturdinja since Wonder Guard just requires you to get a specific ability whereas Sturdinja requires you to get a specific Pokémon and a specific ability for that Pokémon
you do also get mons with no attacking moves a lot. they’re best used by using their status moves as well as you possibly can, or, failing that, using them as scouts (since scouts are waaay more important in a meta where everything is completely random)

that being said if i see that i have multiple mons without attacking moves i will probably just forfeit on the spot

My teeth hurt one day when I was like 16 and I went to the dentist and they were like “lol wisdom teeth. Want them out?” and I said yea so I had all 4 removed and that was just done forever
there’s a shocking amount of strategy considering how entirely random the meta is

there’s actually a lot of strategy to hackmons cup because information comes at a premium. you have to decide whether you want to reveal your more reliable 100% accuracy move that you know will get a kill or if you want to keep doing what you’re doing and bait your opponent into switching something in that gets owned by said 100% accuracy move

this is arguably somewhat true in the actual meta too but mos of the time people have a broad baseline expectation of what your move possibilities are. so it’s mostly just for like what exactly your moveslot that’s up to decision is
