Not even an honorable mention to Clair's Kingdra? I was one of Kids that only used the starter, so no matter which one I Chose, Kingdra was a Nightmare.

None of those really give bad memories.
Ultra Necrozma was difficult, but its very easy to cheese (Even without Zoroark.)
I dont remember having any trouble with Ghetsis.
Cynthia is just a meme.
Mars' Purugly didnt give me any trouble
Ive never finished unmodified Emerald, only ever gotten to Lilycove.
Ive never had trouble with Steven
Whitney is a meme
Only times I had trouble with Lance was during a randomizer nuzlocke where he ended it due to me being stupid and when I first played HeartGold, but I was a kid and thought it was smart to only battle with my starter and Ho-oh

Flashbacks is too strong of a word, but I had trouble with these gym leaders when I was a kid

Brock, because I didn't even know how to switch pokemon so I only had a lvl 20 pikachu and a bunch of rattata pidgey and caterpies
Claire because how the fuck was I supposed to kill a water/dragon pokemon
For some reason tate & liza, can't remember why I just used surf on them

Elesa's a bit tough, because even if you catch a Drilbur or something, you could just get worn down through attrition.
Hau and Necrozma blindsided me.

I was around 10 or so when I first played platinum, I kept getting dicked on by his Whailmer. I was also slightly more autistic so I didnt even have a grass type to deal with his. I destroyed in my recent play through but I still have flashbacks.

BW1 have some that stick out to me, might just be nostalgia because it was the first game I played but:

Lenora's Watchog
Elesa inventing VoltTurn
Clay's Excadrill
Drayden's Haxorus (Drayden in general really)

Ultra Necrozma : I haven't played USUM. Can a single wild pokemon really be tough ?

Ghetsis : It was teased to me to be really strong, so I was well prepared and blew it

Cynthia : I had more trouble with the rest of the Elite 4

Mars' Purugly : It has never been a problem, has it ?

Juan's Kingdra : see Mars' Purugly

Steven stone : I haven't played Ruby nor Sapphire

Whitney's Miltank : It's hard if you only use Quilava

Lance : you can wreck his team with any pokemon that learns electrics moves

The only fight I had trouble with (without being a dumb kid) were Tate and Liza. Mostly because my team sucked.

At this point youll have pokemon at ~level 50. Ultra Necrozma is level 60 and has its 167/167 attacking stats, 97/97 defensive stats and 129 speed stat all up by one stage.

Whitney and Claire. When I was a kid I didn't even think about the concept of making my own team. I just caught super effective pokemon against the gym leaders and never used them after that. This really screwed me over in these 2 battles in particular when my best pokemon was my Typhlosion

You can't even counter that shit. If the game decides that your team dies to Sheer Cold and that you miss, there's not shit you can do. Sure, you can bring sturdy, but now you're 1v3

Articuno. I had a venusaur as my starter and it was wrecking me. Couldn't sleep it, couldn't catch it. Balls kept missing, I didn't want to leave without it. Reloading over and over. I end up basically raging quitting that fight by using my masterball.

Quoted By:

Most of these occur the forst time you play a Pokemon game amd have little to no idea of whats coming or how to counter it

Brock was a pain for Charmander or Pikachu users who didt have a counter and knew little of the game

Misty's Starmie is too powerful if you don train in advance

Sabrina's Alakazam is hard to beat as we didnt have enougj counters for psychics

Almost all trainers had one battle with blue that was hard. Mostly those who explored viridian city with their lv6 Starter and found him with a lv9 apearow and a lv8 starter on the left

Whitney is known as it was a common struggle for many players.

Morty's Gastly was a trouble for many friends

Clair's Kingdra had only one weakness and resisted all 3 starters

Brawly's Makuhita with Vital Throw caight many by surprise.

Liza and Tate were hard in Emerald

Juan Kingdra for the same reason as clairs

Fatina was tough

Cynthia and her elite 4 are tough

Leonoras Gym is really tough

I dont know why people lose to Burgh bit many do.

Clay's excadrill is tough

Ive seen people struggle with Karen in Johto and some lose some pokemon against Siebold's Gyarados

I've always been overleveling my mons, however I remember two nightmarish fights :

-Catching Articuno in LG, for some reason the catch rate RNG took me 2 fucking days of reset.

-Cynthia's fight in BW2 in the mansion, didn't expect her mons to be the same level as mine. Had a 3 mon team against her 6, first time I actually got KO'd by a trainer. Grinded a bucnh more.
