Cynthia's Pt team was stronger, but even her DP team had one or two things for everyone. Her Spiritomb could pose an interesting challenge with Embargo, her Milotic can be difficult to bring down, her Lucario hits disturbingly hard with good coverage, and Garchomp Just Garchomp. Garchomp "You thought you were going to sweep the league with Palkia or Dialga" Garchomp.
Alder's team was as a whole a tad weak, but his Volcarona could set up on you if you wern't expecting it, and rape your face. Not entirely sure if I should even count him though, since he is technically a rematch.
Gary. Fire Red/Leaf Green team only. He had a well balanced team weakened slightly by the available shitmons at his disposal. If counting his rematch team, he stands proudly in this position even without that consideration.
Iris: In a world full of dragonspammers, Iris stands out as probably the best. She had enough variation on her team to cover the low level of dragon types available without spamming Haxorus, yet also actually complimenting her dragons. Haxorus hit like a truck.
Steven. Steven's problem stemmed largely from repetitive, common weaknesses and nonthreatening Pokemon. Metagross was the only thing that could actually hurt you.
Diantha: Her team was just plain bad. Tyrantrum and Mega Gardevoir were the only remotely threatening things on it. Everything else was just an absolute waste of space. Depressingly, Hawlucha can in fact be good, hers just isn't.
Lance: 3 inappropriately leveled Dragonite with craptastic movesets? check. Aerodactyl? check. Spams hyper beam because "it's the strongest move with the best base power!" like a four year old? Winner winner, chicken dinner. You win the award for most mentally challenged champion, Lance. You were absolutely outdone by twelve year old who actually roars at you when you fight her. At least Clair still believes in you.
