Hardest Battle in the Pokemon Franchise

Anonymous Thu 14 Jul 2016 23:28:51 No.27171994 View View Reply Original Report

Which Pokemon battle in the main series game was the hardest? I think the hardest was this awesome team, but what do you think?

I'd say Jupiter's first battle in Platinum.

Skuntank's Night Slash hits almost everything you can use by then pretty hard and it's a pretty strong Pokemon considering how early in the game it is imo.

Her Zubat also got me by surprise once and got my Geodude with Giga Drain.

The Galactic Purugly at Valley Windworks, gives me some trouble during Nuzlockes, have lost some good team members.

Morty's Gengar in GSC.

Cyrus' Weavile gave me some trouble too.

OHKO moves kill at least one of yours, their slowmons always get a quick claw

Cynthia's battle was easy as fuck.

Only DPfags think otherwise.

What was it.. The 3rd gym in Silver/Gold/Crystal? The normal gym? That God damn MILTANK! Attract + Rollout made me irrate. Didn't realise as a kid that you could pick up a machop in a trade nearby and wax that gym.

Watson, and the May battle on the route before.

I have played through RSE and ORAS countless times, and they always kick my ass.

Even if you did that, Miltank had a higher base speed. If it could get an attract on you, your Machop just dies not being able to get a hit in thanks to stomp flinching.

If I had to choose I'd say the Frontier Brains are definitely THE hardest trainers. I only ever get gold on the Battle Tower brain

>>27172388
...but I'm also tempted to say one of the early Gen 1 rival battles is one of the hardest too. As a kid I got my ass beat on Nugget Bridge

Sounds like you're choosing Treeko or something. May and Watson are super easy if you picked Mudkip because Grovyle is weak to all the flying types you get up to that point and Watson can do fuckall to Marshtomp.

I'd say Lance in Gen 4 is the hardest.

Nah man, she's easily the hardest champion not counting rematches. I didn't play DP but I played Platinum several times, and she was always tough.Every single pokemon of her team has a way to fuck you up if you're not ready for her. In nuzlockes if you want your whole team to survive you either plan every single move ahead or overlevel the shit out of your team to face her.

Aunt Jemima in B/W 1.

No gym battle should force you to deal with 90 and 140 base power moves that early in the game. That shit puts RBY Misty to shame.

I don't know about you guys, but Red's team was never a threat to me. Then again, I was using mons like Girantina I imported from Platinum.

Recently did an emerald playthrough and these two actually gave me a challenge. The light screens+sunny days make it so you can't spam surf to sweep through their team and the calm mind users can both get set up easily. Also for some reason there's a huge level gap between them and the trainers in their gym.

Fucking Battle Girls and Black Belts in caves.

>actually good 'mons to abuse said coverage, like Sawk and Hawlucha in the early game
Dunno why the actually important battles were such cakewalks, the generic NPCs in XY are the hardest they've ever been which means jackshit, but that Reflecting Cave Hawlucha was something else.

Either that or they actually did it on purpose to capture the same feel.

Yes, Black Belts and Battle Girls are the exception. Maybe they felt guilty for nerfing fighting types in Gen VI.
