ITT: Rank/R8 your top 10 Favorite Battles in the series

Your personal all time favorite battles in the series?
> 10) May rival battle on Route 110
Gave me a lot of trouble as a kid with no strategy, solo'd mudkip and was 4x weak to Grovyle by then
> 9) Volkner and Flint double battle outside Battle Frontier
You and your best bro vs him and his best bro.
> 8) N and Ghetsis Battle in BW1
Putting two here, but they're closely enough connected, your legend vs his legend was the perfect payoff to the best story we've had so far
7) Battle with Evice in Realgam Tower
Here for his great strategies, like Skill Swap Slaking, and I love the setting
> 6) Greevil on Citadark Isle
7 pokemon, 4 of them legends, and you gotta catch em all
> 5) Ultra Necrozma
Hard as balls, I remained unspoiled on his appearance and his music is absolutely incredible
> 4) Victory Road Wally in ORAS
Probably one of the best displays of character development in the series
> 3) Red on Mt. Silver
Dont even need to explain this one
> 2) Kukui "champion" battle in SM
First time in all 7 generations I had no idea who the champion would be and I love the twist that it was him all along, and was the best payoff to the question of where was the starter strong against yours? Mostly this high on the list because of the music.
> 1) Final Rival Battle in Kanto
I dont think anything will top this final battle for me. I absolutely love how Blue was your final obstacle after the whole game, your journey starts and ends with him. His team has counters to every single mon you could possibly throw at him, his music was awesome and the best part is how personal and satisfying this victory is for the player.

Honorable mentions: Cheren battle on Route 10, Rayquaza and Deoxys battle in ORAS, Korrina Mega Battle, Serena victory road battle, Giovanni in USUM, probably a ton more I'm forgetting too
