Agreed that Falinks max battle is not fun (at least for a casual player). We took it down with 2 people, but had to have the right moves (Charizard with a Flying-type move), otherwise Falinks kicked our ass. I ended up just doing it once for the 'dex and never touched it again.
The jump in difficulty from 1-star to 3-star was pretty steep -- I really want the upcoming Gigantamax Gengar but it's 6-star and IDK how I'd be able to handle it when I have exactly one (1) other friend who play :(
