Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
Domina
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
Managing gladiator training and economy against fight outcomes you can only tilt.
Pokémon Moon
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Team building and type-matchup optimization through a scripted island campaign.

Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Domina
You manage from outside the arena, hands barely matter
Pokémon Moon
Turn-based menus require no dexterity
Reads0 vs 1
Pokémon Moon leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Domina
AI opponents and crowds follow mappable behaviour
Pokémon Moon
Scripted trials and trainers; competitive play is a niche mode
Variance5 vs 4
Domina leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Domina
Fight outcomes carry real RNG you cannot fully control
Pokémon Moon
Encounter tables, catch rolls and crits are mappable RNG
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Domina
Training schedules, equipment and resource economy decide dynasties
Pokémon Moon
Team composition and type math are the solvable core
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
