There's just something special about Cynthia: - Team with maximum IVs - Epic as hell intro music and even more epic battle music - First female champion - Leads with a Pokemon that has no weaknesses - Returns in every gen after this except 6 Oh sorry, I guess there's multiple somethings about Cynthia.
Her lead has no TYPE weaknesses, you can safely set up in it’s face and blast her team to nothing if you have something that can even remotely take two hits from it
I love Cynthia's battle theme - first you hear the drums before the actual music kicks in - and after that all you hear is the constant low-health sound.
Lance was more than enough for me back then and when i knew it wasn't over,i had the same feeling like u,nevertheless,i had a lot of fullrestores,and just a muk and a charizard,i beat him but it took a lot of time
Weavile+Icicle plate+Ice beam/Ice Punch= Garchomp deleted as you can se in this video as well. So just grab a Sneasel from Snowpoint city train it up and evolve it later on to Weavile, teach it Ice Beam or Ice Punch and let it Hold an Icicle plate and ther you have the Garchomp deleter.
I only ever played Emerald as a kid and never really thought that Steven was more than a side character. Then I randomly met him inside Meteor Falls. Jesus was I stomped.
Shoot I remember playing Platinum in my senior year of high school and literally questioning how the hell this game is supposed to be beaten by 8-9 year old kids lmao.
Bro how many times I got my ass handed to me by Cynthia. I only just slyly won after spamming revives and full restores until eventually by some miracle I managed to defeat her with my only pokemon with less than 20HP
There was one ez way to win, I threw my Pokémon in the daycare and biked up and down for a few hours and boom I have level 80 Pokémon, did the same with the rest of he team
Matita Giallah my first game was pearl, however I was never able to get past flint since I chose torterra and sonely used him. My champion to beat was iris, then I got white, so then alder. Then I beat Lance, and used to same team to be Cynthia. By now I've got platinum and beaten her there with the Pokémon used in the story
Lance was my favorite. I remember playing Pokemon Crystal as a kid and feeling fear when I saw his Dragonites, I would always lose midway facing him but then I taught my Feraligatr Ice Punch and swept through him, I remember my jaw dropping as a kid in pure shock and accomplishment. Little did I know that you can go to Kanto afterwards. Truly a memorable moment.
Me too bro. For me Lance is also the best. I was excited playing gold with my older brother and even if it was years ago big battles like this are still clearly memorable. I love The GSC ....NOSTALGIA😍😢
My friend told me the Sinnoh Elite 4 was level 68 to like 75, I didn’t know that it was the rematch levels so I over levelled on my first run completely one shotted the whole E4
Every single battle against these champions holds a special place in my heart. Pure shock and awe when you find out that Blue is the champion. Lance holds nothing but great fear when you are facing him. Steven shows you how tough and restlessness his Steel type Pokemon can be. Wallace shows you the beauty and soul of the power of Hoenn. Cynthia demonstrates perfect balance and harmony in her Pokemon. Alder and Iris, they were adamant throughout your entire journey and you can see it clearly during your battle against them. Diantha was radiating of beauty, fame and elegance. And she shown you all those qualities of her in the battle against you. Kukui and Hau were exciting and a thrilling challenges. The first chance to battle a professor and battling a rival again. Qualities we haven't seen in a Pokemon game in years.
The Mystery Bar tbh the first time I battled Lance I thought he was going to rock my whole world but luckily I had a weavile with Ice shard Nasty Plot Night slash Surf
*ehem* Sorry, Sun and Moon touched my fiber when I started battiling somehow. I suddenly recovered any single thing of my childhood I lost, I started laughing while crying XD
We all know all the champions music are dope asf but you have to be lying to yourself to say cynthias battles music isn’t the best. Her battle is literally legendary
He overlevels the shit out of his Pokémon and uses legendaries/pseudo legendaries like garchomp, haxorus, dragonite etc. in every play through. In my opinion it makes the game a bit boring

Michael Haney Originally, Gyarados was supposed to be a dragon type, but it would be too OP in gen 1 bc the only dragon move was Dragon Rage, which only did 40 damage. So dragon was replaced with Flying.
Steven is my favorite just because when I fainted his metagross it was the best feeling ever because it would always one shot every single one of my team.
I remember the first time I battled Alder.. All my Pokémon, except Zebstrika, were fainted before the battle. I had tons of Full Restores, but no Revives. I knew there was no way. But,somehow, ZEBSTRIKA SWEEPED ALL OF THEM. Then Volcarona used some move, leaving Zebstrika with ONE health. I can't remember what happened after that, but I actually WON. WITH ONE FREAKING POKEMON. Edit: Came back two years to fix some errors with my comment, and noticed it got some traction. Hello, peeps.
Magister Artium Exyl0n for me in Black 1 I used Reshiram level 100 with the move sets Dragon pulse, Blue Flare, Extrasensory, Fusion Flare with all the elixir, and ether that I collected during my journey and 10 full restores.
Unknown 247, From my personal opinion, yeah you should continue playing it occasionally. Depending on where you’re at in the game I think it’s pretty fun to do battles in the building left of the Pokémon Center or do subway battles. If you’re still in the main story then you should keep playing because the story (in my opinion) is well written. However Unknown 247, I also think that it’s your choice if you want to continue playing Pokémon White, because for me I still occasionally play the game even though I frequently get teased for playing Pokémon Black because it’s categorized by many as a boy’s game and it’s almost 10 years old. If you want to play other games that are cheap to buy then my best assumption is Pokémon Conquest
The first time I played Soul Silver, Lance's level 50 dragonite knocked out my Feraligatr. So I swapped my HM slave, Marril, to take out a hit for me. Dragonite KNOCKED ITSELF OUT in confusion, resulting in Marril getting a massive bunch of experience points. Before the ending played... Marril evolved. The best part was that I named Marril "Oh no! It" "What? Oh no! It is evolving!"
Pokémon Platinum by far the hardest to beat with the Elite 4 getting harder and harder. Than Cynthia with a Lv78 Garchomp. I knew I was in trouble when I faced a Level 71 Bronzong in the 4th Level
All these noobs who never played black 2 in challenge mode saying Cynthia is hard. Look at her team. Now look at weavile. Destroys everything. The only thing with her team is that the pokes are overlevelled, other than that nothing. IRIS IN CHALLENGE MODE HOWEVER, She leads of with a wise glasses hydreigon with insane coverage. Her new Pokémon (challenge mode Pokémon) is just a life orb salamance. No Biggie. (Sarcasm) Her archeops has a very amusing combo of flying gem + acrobatics that will one shot anything on ur team, even Pokémon that resist it. It's a 165 base power move coming off of a base 145 attack stat. Her aggron is slow, but has rock head + headsmash, and muscle band to boost the power. Her lapras has zoom lens, which means it's not gonna miss hydro pumps, thunders and blizzards, and it will put everything to sleep with sing. Finally if u made this far, focus sash + DD haxorus will destroy u unless u have priority. All Pokémon lvl 81-83, while u are probably stuck at 60's, or, if u battled every single trainer, early 70's. No one can beat iris's rematch in one try without an ice punch tyranitar. Cynthia dosent even compare lol.
aB are you joking ? This is obviously based on someone who is ‘preparing’ for Cynthia. Ideally people talking about the strength of her, played the game casually and went in not expecting her Pokemon to be so high levelled. Not everybody ‘researched’ the champion and decided to get Weavile to make it easier for themselves. By chance , most people wouldn’t have weavile because you’d have to get to the 7th gym to encounter one and therefore made it unlikely to have a hard counter against Garchomp.
18:43 actually the best song of pokemon for me... it was the song that brings my emotions to the top because i fight against my first rival in my first lega pokemon ❤
Replayed Platinum not too long ago, had an Umbreon with double team, toxic, confuse ray, and quick attack specifically to prolong battles cause I know how scary Cynthia is. The mad lad ended up carrying my whole team though only being level 49, defeating 3 of Cynthia's pokemons. So proud of my boy Jiji. 7 year old me is happy I overcame the PTSD.
My reactions to the champions in order of playthroughs: Generation 3: PFFFFT EASY Generation 4: I'm way too underleveled.... HELP Generation 4(HGSS): I JUST GOT OBLITERATED FUUUUU- Generation 5: Wait a minute. I didn't beat the game after beating N? [Hours of grinding later] TAKE THAT ALDER Generation 5 (BW2): *2 million tries later* finally I did it 😖 Generation 1: peace of cake Generation 2: now that I'm more experienced that was pretty easy Generation 6: why does this exist Generation 6(ORAS): yeah pretty much just as I remembered Generation 7: GG Generation 7(let's go): EASY EEVEE SWEEP
Here’s mine: Gen 1: never beat it Gen 2: 8 year old me was suffering Gen 3: Eh, easy Gen 4: Never beat it Gen 5: Wot? Alder got beaten not by me? Gen 6: EaSy MoNeY Gen 7: Pretty easy Gen 8: OH MY GOD THIS IS SO DIFFICULT!
@@waifusforlaifu347 it's been a while since I used this youtube account so here's my addition of gen 8: Wow! My whole team is literally level 65 and Leon still kicked my ass Also I'm currently cringing at my previous comment lol
Here is mine: Kanto: Kinda hard Johto: please help me Hoenn: PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY Sinnoh: please stop Unova: Easy Kalos: why Alola: a bit difficult Kanto remake 1: cmon Kanto remake 2: PLEASE CMON TONE IT DOWN STOP USING PSYCHIC YOU ABSOLUTE IDIOT Johto remake: please cmon man Hoenn remake: im fucking done Galar: Easy as hell (I trained my pokemon to level 100)
I know a lot of people love Cynthia’s theme, but lance/red’s theme is so much better. The silence then the start at 6:37 is just threatening, then you see red’s pikachu. Even if it’s not your favorite, it’s definitely the most epic.
I gotta say that Wallace has to be my favorite champion. he gets so much hate just because, but I think that it's fitting for Steven to have left the Champion title to his friend that specializes in water, especially since so much of the region is covered in it. I like him for personal reasons (I love water and am an artist as well) but I do feel that his team is lackluster, but with the amount of water Pokemon now they could easily make him really hard... also a moment of silence for mega Milotic
The thing i like about Hoenn champion are how rare their ace are, Metagross is post game only, while Miloticc is a downright nightmare to capture and evolve.
Same, Cynthia may have the best intense battle music but when you hear iris champion song it’s like everything you’ve ever done has led to that very moment getting you hyped up for the fight also Cynthia’s battle is like fighting team Rockets leader or something
@@nolimit606 drifblim is based off of a hot air balloon so I sorta get the concept But fucking lopunny is unacceptable I mean come on really. At least his team is fixed in platinum
in terms of which battle was the hardest it would be Cynthia for me, but the most enjoyable for me would be taking on Blue in R/B/FR/LG - the whole premise of you battling your arch rival in the final stage of the pokemon league, who's always been one step ahead from the beginning of your journey is something so awesome and cool
Champions are always the fun part, being final bosses of the main storyline. Blue and Red are classics, but Cynthia will always be known as the most infamous.
Champions are champions for a reason. They all were strong and definetly took more than one go at them. Except Blue he was honestly weak in battle. Red, Cynthia, Lance and others were pain.
Best champions are Leafegreen, Platinum and Black or white. Hands down. Best gameplays, best ever experience. The newer versions are not the same and feel weird playing.
Both can be fought easily if prepared. But unprepared I'd say Iris. Since Iris has a lot of dragons, which are famous for being psuedo and semi psuedo legendaries...
@@toxicperson8936 Holy Crap, I just did the rematch (only leveling with the other Elite Four) and I had to get 2 CRITICAL PARALIZING THUNDERS for that Seaking to go down. BTW I did win against Blue.
Was pretty much my strategy in hgss. I focused on making a Gyarados and an Electrode as strong as possible and the other pokémon in my team were just healing slaves.
I remember playing pokemon red behind my desk. I needed a lamp to see what i was doing on my gameboy. I played this day and night. Still playing pkmn... ultra sun atm i am 32 but cant let go my childhood.
There's just something special about Cynthia:

why cynthia doesn't exist in pokemon gen 6? because gen 6 is just for baby :)
Her lead has no TYPE weaknesses, you can safely set up in it’s face and blast her team to nothing if you have something that can even remotely take two hits from it

p a r d o n ? Same here. She was the first champion I’ve ever beaten. AND 4 Pokémon on my team were below lvl 50

Red wipes the floor with all of them.
Every single battle against these champions holds a special place in my heart.
Pure shock and awe when you find out that Blue is the champion.

Alder and Iris, they were adamant throughout your entire journey and you can see it clearly during your battle against them.

Or infernape with calm mind hahaha
Or any fully evolved Pokémon that has a setup move and or that’s isn’t quad weak to a move that’s slow before setting up
Or a floatzel with ice beam
That's how I took out her garchomp and togekiss
I one shot everything with my garchomp level 78 i train hard because i thought it will be very hard
Yeah man OP af
Alder, Iris, Cynthia, and Steven really stick out to me, they all are special
The Hoenn theme will always be my favorite.
This person made Cynthia's battle look easy af, but then again, my Pokemon were like 20 lvls below Cynthia's
Yep. I swooped the elite 4 with ease but Cynthia really destroyed me
Just like Iris
He just sweeped with his Latios
ı was stuck had to bring my starter charizard nidoking and dragonite from my fire red days
I usually only train my starter
He overlevels the shit out of his Pokémon and uses legendaries/pseudo legendaries like garchomp, haxorus, dragonite etc. in every play through. In my opinion it makes the game a bit boring
This is when the battle's start :

He's right about the sequels, but maybe get the ctrl C ctrl V option better.
The gen 7 timestamps is only for Hau, not Kukui.

All hail Cynthia, the best champion, wen gen 4 remakes lol
Curtis Hartman nah I want Gen 5 remakes...
TheMarioManiac I want every gen remade at some point lol, just gen 4 is the best
There's quite a lot of remakes, I'm sure Gen 4 could use a remake.

Gen 4 did get a remake, Pokemon Platinum
I remember in black and white 2 that I expected to face Alder. I never expected Iris and her dragons, I wasn’t prepared for dragons XD

I knew there was no way.
But,somehow, ZEBSTRIKA SWEEPED ALL OF THEM.
Then Volcarona used some move, leaving Zebstrika with ONE health.
I can't remember what happened after that, but I actually WON.
WITH ONE FREAKING POKEMON.
Edit: Came back two years to fix some errors with my comment, and noticed it got some traction. Hello, peeps.
So I did it too with level 100 though
@Chaos Leviatho Me tooo.
What did you use?
Mi favorite for beating black and white was Cobalion😍
Magister Artium Exyl0n for me in Black 1 I used Reshiram level 100 with the move sets Dragon pulse, Blue Flare, Extrasensory, Fusion Flare with all the elixir, and ether that I collected during my journey and 10 full restores.
@@kristin-theworlddestroyer2775 should I continue playing Pokemon white
Unknown 247, From my personal opinion, yeah you should continue playing it occasionally. Depending on where you’re at in the game I think it’s pretty fun to do battles in the building left of the Pokémon Center or do subway battles. If you’re still in the main story then you should keep playing because the story (in my opinion) is well written.
However Unknown 247, I also think that it’s your choice if you want to continue playing Pokémon White, because for me I still occasionally play the game even though I frequently get teased for playing Pokémon Black because it’s categorized by many as a boy’s game and it’s almost 10 years old.
If you want to play other games that are cheap to buy then my best assumption is Pokémon Conquest
You know the pokemon gods have mercy on you when Cynthia's Garchomp misses its Dragon Rush (have experienced it myself lol)
Damn that BG music tho in Pokemon Ruby, Spphire and Emerald is still bone chilling
I’ll always remember my first time going through the elite 4 in pokemon emerald.... those were the days
Red: Oh cool! A final rival battle before fighting the champion.
Blue: Order right now and I’ll throw in the champion battle absolutely free!
That theme that plays while facing Lance in Crystal is so epic.
The animations of moves were really great in the first days of Pokemon.
The first time I played Soul Silver, Lance's level 50 dragonite knocked out my Feraligatr. So I swapped my HM slave, Marril, to take out a hit for me. Dragonite KNOCKED ITSELF OUT in confusion, resulting in Marril getting a massive bunch of experience points. Before the ending played... Marril evolved.
The best part was that I named Marril "Oh no! It"
"What? Oh no! It is evolving!"
Terestrasz lmao
Trolololol
So u took ur hm slave to fight the champion
Terestrasz and why would you take Marill with you?
I'll take "Things that never happened", for uhmm. Know what? Let's go for 500!
I remember the sense of triumph I had when I beat both Lance and Cynthia for the first times.
*28:40*
_Emerald, forever in our hearts
Cynthia is so cool they even gave her animations in platinum which although a slight difference I still really love
Pokémon Platinum by far the hardest to beat with the Elite 4 getting harder and harder. Than Cynthia with a Lv78 Garchomp.
I knew I was in trouble when I faced a Level 71 Bronzong in the 4th Level
Felix Soheili the only thing hard about cynthia is that she is overleveled .If youd have a team with equal levels she would be easy
Gen 4 was easy
All these noobs who never played black 2 in challenge mode saying Cynthia is hard. Look at her team. Now look at weavile. Destroys everything. The only thing with her team is that the pokes are overlevelled, other than that nothing.
IRIS IN CHALLENGE MODE HOWEVER,
She leads of with a wise glasses hydreigon with insane coverage.
Her new Pokémon (challenge mode Pokémon) is just a life orb salamance. No Biggie. (Sarcasm)
Her archeops has a very amusing combo of flying gem + acrobatics that will one shot anything on ur team, even Pokémon that resist it. It's a 165 base power move coming off of a base 145 attack stat.
Her aggron is slow, but has rock head + headsmash, and muscle band to boost the power.
Her lapras has zoom lens, which means it's not gonna miss hydro pumps, thunders and blizzards, and it will put everything to sleep with sing.
Finally if u made this far, focus sash + DD haxorus will destroy u unless u have priority.
All Pokémon lvl 81-83, while u are probably stuck at 60's, or, if u battled every single trainer, early 70's.
No one can beat iris's rematch in one try without an ice punch tyranitar. Cynthia dosent even compare lol.
aB IRISH = CHAMPION POKEMON ( ITEM )
aB are you joking ? This is obviously based on someone who is ‘preparing’ for Cynthia. Ideally people talking about the strength of her, played the game casually and went in not expecting her Pokemon to be so high levelled. Not everybody ‘researched’ the champion and decided to get Weavile to make it easier for themselves. By chance , most people wouldn’t have weavile because you’d have to get to the 7th gym to encounter one and therefore made it unlikely to have a hard counter against Garchomp.
Osh K not to mention her garchomp is ridiculously fast and has brick break so it would easily one shot the weavile
blue: i assembled a team that can beat any type
player: you don't know about switching out
Iris and Diantha theme is just badass. Best Champion theme ever!!
Yeah, but honestly, Diantha was just a stick of butter.
18:43 actually the best song of pokemon for me... it was the song that brings my emotions to the top because i fight against my first rival in my first lega pokemon ❤
Replayed Platinum not too long ago, had an Umbreon with double team, toxic, confuse ray, and quick attack specifically to prolong battles cause I know how scary Cynthia is. The mad lad ended up carrying my whole team though only being level 49, defeating 3 of Cynthia's pokemons. So proud of my boy Jiji. 7 year old me is happy I overcame the PTSD.
35:44 Vietnam Memories : Garchomp using swords dance ( when i hear the Cynthia theme i remember that)
My reactions to the champions in order of playthroughs:
Generation 3: PFFFFT EASY
Generation 4: I'm way too underleveled.... HELP
Generation 4(HGSS): I JUST GOT OBLITERATED FUUUUU-
Generation 5: Wait a minute. I didn't beat the game after beating N? [Hours of grinding later] TAKE THAT ALDER
Generation 5 (BW2): *2 million tries later* finally I did it 😖
Generation 1: peace of cake
Generation 2: now that I'm more experienced that was pretty easy
Generation 6: why does this exist
Generation 6(ORAS): yeah pretty much just as I remembered
Generation 7: GG
Generation 7(let's go): EASY EEVEE SWEEP
Here’s mine:
Gen 1: never beat it
Gen 2: 8 year old me was suffering
Gen 3: Eh, easy
Gen 4: Never beat it
Gen 5: Wot? Alder got beaten not by me?
Gen 6: EaSy MoNeY
Gen 7: Pretty easy
Gen 8: OH MY GOD THIS IS SO DIFFICULT!
@@waifusforlaifu347 it's been a while since I used this youtube account so here's my addition of gen 8: Wow! My whole team is literally level 65 and Leon still kicked my ass
Also I'm currently cringing at my previous comment lol
Here is mine:
Kanto: Kinda hard
Johto: please help me
Hoenn: PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY
Sinnoh: please stop
Unova: Easy
Kalos: why
Alola: a bit difficult
Kanto remake 1: cmon
Kanto remake 2: PLEASE CMON TONE IT DOWN STOP USING PSYCHIC YOU ABSOLUTE IDIOT
Johto remake: please cmon man
Hoenn remake: im fucking done
Galar: Easy as hell (I trained my pokemon to level 100)
Thank you very much for bringing back those sweet memories of victory over the champion in which I threw a party for my friends!!

shit514 Koi For god’s sake, people...
I know a lot of people love Cynthia’s theme, but lance/red’s theme is so much better. The silence then the start at 6:37 is just threatening, then you see red’s pikachu. Even if it’s not your favorite, it’s definitely the most epic.
WHUT! I didn't know petal dance was a Gen 1 move...all these years I thought it was Gen 2.
I gotta say that Wallace has to be my favorite champion. he gets so much hate just because, but I think that it's fitting for Steven to have left the Champion title to his friend that specializes in water, especially since so much of the region is covered in it. I like him for personal reasons (I love water and am an artist as well) but I do feel that his team is lackluster, but with the amount of water Pokemon now they could easily make him really hard...
also a moment of silence for mega Milotic
Mutiscale and part fairy?
The thing i like about Hoenn champion are how rare their ace are, Metagross is post game only, while Miloticc is a downright nightmare to capture and evolve.
Je regarde d'en haut fuck feebas, my friend used a cheat code to get his and ended up giving me an egg he spawned from it
This describes my feelings about the Hoenn Region Champion so well!
Iris have the best champion music.
No cynthia
fire no
IRIS??????
Agreed!
Same, Cynthia may have the best intense battle music but when you hear iris champion song it’s like everything you’ve ever done has led to that very moment getting you hyped up for the fight also Cynthia’s battle is like fighting team Rockets leader or something
Lance was such an elite dragon master, that he was able to evolve 3 dragonites early xD
Alder had 3 bug type pokemon. Can we count him as a bug type champion?
DuncyDragon only if we can call the lance a flying type champion since all his Pokémon in gen 2 are part flying
@@soil9749 in Diamond/Pearl the Fire type Elite Four member has only 2 Fire type Pokemon :D
@@soil9749 I would say steel/rock with claydol being the only non steel/rock type
siirappi pete I’m not sure why they decided to let him use drifblim and lopunny lmao
@@nolimit606 drifblim is based off of a hot air balloon so I sorta get the concept
But fucking lopunny is unacceptable I mean come on really. At least his team is fixed in platinum
I really like fights in pokémon but I just discovered that seeing somebody else fighting is satisfying.
Leafgreen has a special place in my heart.

in terms of which battle was the hardest it would be Cynthia for me, but the most enjoyable for me would be taking on Blue in R/B/FR/LG - the whole premise of you battling your arch rival in the final stage of the pokemon league, who's always been one step ahead from the beginning of your journey is something so awesome and cool
Blue’s Blastoise
Red’s Pikachu
Lance’s Dragonite
Steven’s Metagross
Wallace’s Milotic
Cynthia’s Garchomp/Spiritomb/Lucario
Alder’s Volcarona
N’s Reshiram/Zekrom
Iris’ Haxorus
Diantha’s Gardevoir
Kukui’s Snorlax
Hau’s Noivern
Elio/Selene’s Primarina/Incineroar/Decidueye
Leon’s G-Max Charizard

Champions are always the fun part, being final bosses of the main storyline. Blue and Red are classics, but Cynthia will always be known as the most infamous.
The music BEFORE you fight Cynthia is the best
That Alakazam was about to sweeeeep. Lucky crit on that Aerial Ace by Scizor lol
Super lucky lmao
Rematch with blue in leaf green was one of the hardest for me. Especially when I still had that habit of leveling only one pokemon.
Lance: *becomes champion*
Vaporeon: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Did you know that in terms of human and Pokémon breeding...
No matter the time, the generations that pass. Cynthia is and will always be the best Pokémon trainer ever.
Lances rematch team is stacked. He has a freaking swords dancing garchomp, salamense, and a dragonite.
Champions are champions for a reason. They all were strong and definetly took more than one go at them.
Except Blue he was honestly weak in battle. Red, Cynthia, Lance and others were pain.
@Ice or game freak made him champion for plot..
For anybody who is having trouble with Cynthia: Use Golduck, one Ice beam from that thing can delete any rock type.
my team was infernape (because its fire type), bidoof, starly, dialga, bidoof, bidoof and then when i battled Cynthia... I changed up my team
my new team was infernape, weavile, crobat, Dialga, Gyarados, and alakazam
Rock is not weak to ice tho, maybe you're talking about ground type? I mean Garchomp is ground and dragon so it's 4 times weak to ice
My team with either one on the legendarys dialga palkia or giratina and arcues when it was released as event gift
Lance the Dragon Hacker
Ian Lawrence why ?
Roronoa Zoro la puissance uhhh I don't know maybe his 3 Dragonites?
Roronoa Zoro la puissance Dragonite doesn't evolve at level 47 you dummy it evolves at level 55
...don't forget Ghetsis hacked his Hydreigon.
Ian Lawrence Don't forget the Dragonite High Speed(yes, i'm using the spanish version).
The X and Y build up for the Diantha battle is amazing, and I love the battlefield as well. Then it’s the most underwhelming fight ever
Damn that Breloom of yours is a TROOPER
The way the bass line of the champion theme is isolated when you use surf in G&S trips me out
Best champions are Leafegreen, Platinum and Black or white. Hands down. Best gameplays, best ever experience. The newer versions are not the same and feel weird playing.
Remi Barna PLATINUM FOR DAYS!!!!!
LeafGreen for best!
Platinum and Leaf Green ftw
Almost everyone here is talking about Cynthia and then there's me, who has a redhead dude with a cape and a stone collector as my favorite champions.
Frankly, my verdict on hardest champion is set at a tie between Cynthia and Iris.
Both can be fought easily if prepared.
But unprepared I'd say Iris. Since Iris has a lot of dragons, which are famous for being psuedo and semi psuedo legendaries...
Lance’s theme song was giving me chill. what a game
"I came when I heard you beat the ELITE FOUR!"
That moment when you keep fast-forwarding randomly and then arriving just in time for the moment you wanted
100 SKILL
You can beat Lance’s team with just one water type that knows Ice Beam, and with one electric type move.
Gen 1, Gen 2, or Gen 3?
Because in Gen 3 I beat him with a Lapras (lv. 49-50)and a Raichu(lv.47-48)
ElecMetal A Gen 1 & 3. I used Starmie, but Lapras works as well.
@@toxicperson8936 Holy Crap, I just did the rematch (only leveling with the other Elite Four) and I had to get 2 CRITICAL PARALIZING THUNDERS for that Seaking to go down. BTW I did win against Blue.
Was pretty much my strategy in hgss. I focused on making a Gyarados and an Electrode as strong as possible and the other pokémon in my team were just healing slaves.
I remember playing pokemon red behind my desk. I needed a lamp to see what i was doing on my gameboy. I played this day and night. Still playing pkmn... ultra sun atm i am 32 but cant let go my childhood.
GameFreak: Man what are other dragon types
Manager: Oh I know give him tree dragonites
GameFreak: Awsome Idea
Everyone: Cynthia is so hard!
NinCen: Hold my beer
last time I checked Iris's pokemon were either between 58-64 for main story and 68-74 for rematch
My fav is gen 5, but I came here to see people commenting "Cynthia" and get 1 sextillion likes for just that🙃
