Why is Pokémon Swsh so easy?

The story is incidental; an excuse to accumulate a bunch of Pokémon before the "real" experience begins; and the developers know this. Same reason there's never much of a "post-game", because the post-game is endless battles at the battle facilities. I mean, can't say they're totally wrong.

No, Cubone is not a Charmander, but a popular fan theory suggests Cubone is an orphaned Charmander whose mother died, preventing its tail flame from igniting, forcing it to wear its mother's skull for protection and develop differently. This theory explains Cubone's Ground typing (instead of Fire), its skull helmet, and its ability to learn Fire-type moves, linking it to the Charizard line, though official lore points to Cubone wearing its deceased mother's skull (likely a Marowak).
