Ok, so, as a first time player, starting new runs from scratch, every encounter I get into is 3-4 enemies of greater stats than my starting team. The only encounter I even came close to beating, was due to the enemy wasting turns failing to grab the Scout... and even then, my team was almost fully fainted, with my last 'mon at a sliver of health, only to be followed up by a fourth enemy in the same encounter.
I did see that fights are supposed to be challenging, but challenging is quite different from 'unwinnable'. What the hell am I doing wrong to immediately party-wipe to the first encounter every single run attempt i've made?
