Story time(bad experiences with RNG in Pokémon)

I have played quite a few RPG, paper Mario xenoblade fire emblem and of course Pokémon, while some RPG have some bad RNG in them, in Pokémon the RNG can get particularly bad, almost to the point that it seems the AI is cheating or feel it's impossible to get five perfect individual values on one Pokémon, I have tried to get perfect IVs back in X and Omega Ruby, it didn't really work out for me and I did everything, I got a destiny knot and everstone on Pokémon with three or so IVs, I put them in the daycare, then i got on the bike and went in a square around the battle resort, until I got five eggs on repeat and I gotten rotten luck most of the time, I know you don't need five perfect IVs to jump into the battle mansion or free battles, but I didn't felt ready because of the IVs, because it felt like everyone had the IVs even in free battles and the battle mansion didn't help at points, the AI doesn't really cheat but it feels like it because the RNG can get wonky at points, that and the AI's Pokémon have weird or unfair setups like double team one shot moves like fissure and poorly timed critical hit on my Pokémon, I know some things have been fixed in the later games. I have not tried again to attempted to get five perfect IVs, because the experiences of the grind really put me off that side of post gam, I have tried the battle tree in my moon and ultramoon versions, but it's not very fun. (Side note I did manage to make a team for triples in recent time, in Omega Ruby five years later from my last attempt, but the game along with X and Y are kinda dead online, I did got two battles, one in the wrong format then had to deal with trickroom team and lost, the other battle was promptly in triples against some legendary Pokémon and two starters, I manage to win that fight, or at lease I counted it because the user I was fighting against rage quit on their last Pokémon.)
