Thing is Claire was so late into the game my mons were over levelled enough to not struggle whereas Whitney is so early on it’s not so easy to be over levelled
Plus, you have access to a bunch of ice-types for the Dragonairs and fast electric-types for Kingdra at that point.
The level curve in johto sucks though. Throughout the entire mid game you're battling trainors with Pokémon in the 20s and then all of a sudden you're battling a gym leader with a level 40 ace?
The wild Pokémon you find are mostly in the late teens which makes it very annoying and tedious to grind
I personally disagree with your choice for Unova cause my vote EASILY goes to Lenora and that freaking Watchog
It was easy with Timburr
@@deGoomyan5538 I remember my first playthrough of White like it was Yesterday and back in those days I made sure to have as many pokemon as possible that does STAB super effective damage to the next gym so for Lenora I had a Pignite, Sawk, Throh, and Timburr on my team and her stupid freaking Watchog kept putting my Pokemon to sleep with Hypnosis and using Confuse Ray and Retaliate to destroy my entire team
She was annoying but it's definitely Elesa, it's quite difficult to get a type advantage on her (for Pokemon standards) and the fight is already challenging to begin with.
@@jm2270 tbh I've never had a hard time with Elsa's gym
Depending on the starter you choose, Clay can be an absolute nightmare. Lenora is honestly not that difficult as if you use a pokemon to tank the first retaliate, she's not that hard, with the hax being completely luck dependent.
1. Sabrina
2. Whitney (never struggled with Clare, Miltank was a nightmare and Metronome Clefairy exploding on me several times)
3. Norman (R/S), Tate and Liza (E)
4. Fantina
5. Elesa (she always got me, Lenora was never an issue for me), Honorable mention to the Trio
6. None (I was over leveled for every gym)
8. Raihan
9. Iona (Mismagius nearly got me and I challenged her first!)
I have to Norman is a great point. He is a gym leader that is around the level of your starters final evolution but more than likely you haven’t evolved yet. And if you know nothing about slaking without a good fighting type like blaziken you could have some trouble.
@@jayc6743yep Slaking is a tank and hits hard asf love that big ape honestly even with its crappy ability 😊
Bro where is 7 lol
It's not really likely to get Fighting type moves before Cheren in B2/W2, as Riolu won't learn Force Palm until level 15, which will take long to get on that point in the game, and Tepig evolves at level 17, which again is unlikely to reach so early with the limited amount of trainers and the low level wild Pokémon
In a casual playthrough, one cannot be expected to get a Heracross for Whitney without being lucky and interested in headbutting trees. And the Machop is based on preference.
For Clair, you have several options to brute force your way to victory.
I actually had the hardest time with Larry of all people.
Why? Because you can challenge the gyms out of order and I skipped 2 gyms to get to him (not intentionally, I was just wandering around)
Iono's set up was definitely clever, but Larry's Staraptor can ruin your day if you don't have the right levels. He basically baits you into bringing a fighting type and then whips out a flying type.
Iono is very hard if you play with level caps. Not many Pokémon that have enough raw stats to deal with her mismagius
One correction on Platinum, you can't get a Houndoom prior to facing Fantina, at least not easily. You'd have to push to Veilstone and go south a little. I don't remember if it's even possible to advance to Veilstone without beating Fantina in Platinum, but it sounds too out of the way even if able to do.
Clair's Kingdra is a bit easier to deal with than Juan's Kingdra. Super effective wise, in GSC you don't have much, however you don't have much more in Emerald. You don't have a Dragon Claw TM yet, and thus a 60 base power attack coming from a base 70 Special Attack on Altaria or base 80 Special Attack on Flygon will likely not do very much to Kingdra even with STAB, and neither will want to eat the inevitable Ice Beam from that Kingdra. If you paralyze or status him at all, he'll just Rest it off - with a Chesto Berry to boot. On Clair's front, Smokescreen is inferior to Double Team, Hydro Pump could miss and won't confuse, and Hyper Beam requires a recharge. I just feel like there are more options to deal with Clair's Kingdra and whittle its HP down - I think Espeon or Slowbro do really well, Lapras does really well with STAB Ice Beam, if you're playing Crystal you have the option of using Suicune. You can't really whittle down Juan's Kingdra because of Rest and the fact its typing and moveset match up so well to many Pokémon in Hoenn.
I would also say Whitney is harder than Clair, just because of how hard Miltank hits for that point in the game.
My two favorite Pokémon to use in an Emerald playthrough are Swampert and Ludicolo, but even when I picked Sceptile or Blaziken I didn't have many problems with Tate and Liza.
It's so disappointing Korrina doesn't use a Lucario on her Gym team, that's literally the Mon I think of when I think of her. And it wouldn't be too broken to use a Mega Lucario, she uses one literally right after the gym battle in the Tower of Mystery, though certainly a regular Lucario would have been nice to see.
Swampert Ludicolo ❤❤❤
Yes but that’s when you’re given a mega lucario to fight it, if you had to deal with the Mega in the gym, that would be ridiculous
I'm so glad there's someone out there who agrees that Cheren is unironically the hardest gym leader in B2W2, and in my opinion, one of the hardest gym leaders in the entire series.
I always thrashed em but what makes him difficult 🤔
@@LinkMaster5555 The only good counter against Cheren is overleveling a Riolu, which takes a lot of time. This early on in the game, if Cheren spams Work Up, he could easily sweep an entire team if he outspeeds you.
@@WoahItsCaleb well i never gave him the chance too
The strongest gym leaders by region for me :
1. Sabrina
2. Whitney with that deadly Miltank as well as Morty with his tricky Gengar. I didnt find Claire that of a challenge towards the end.
3.For Hoenn, I would say the ace pokemon for each gym made it very challenging at times ( Nospeass, Makuhita, Manetric/Magneton, Torkoal, Slaking, Altaria, Lunatone and Solrock, Kingdra/Milotic) but choosing one I would say the twins were the strongest
4. For Sinnoh, its Fantina for sure.
5. Unova, Lenora's watchog and herdier and Elesa' electric pokemon team were the most challenging
i agree with all of these. but for emerald, u can also make a case for watson if u didn’t choose mudkip at the start
Agreed i pick water type for every pknm game I’ve played & I always had to rematch Watson especially the Emerald version.
Keep up the awesome work and videos love the video
Cool Rankings!!
How about the next one being Ranking Gym Inspiration (like how Iono is a gym leader and streamer)
Strongest gym leader for every region:
Kanto- Sabrina
Johto- Whitney
Hoenn- Norman
Sinnoh- Fantina
Unova- Cheren
Kalos- Korrina
Galar- Kabu
Paldea- Eri
Eri's not a gym leader. But then again the Team Star bosses were better than the gym leaders in Paldea
I honestly thought up a move set of what iono’s bellibolt could’ve been if it was her ace and my version of what it could’ve been was the new Whitney’s miltank first I gave it an assault vest, then the move set mud slap for accuracy drop, water pulse for ground coverage and confusion, charge beam for special attack boost and parabolic charge to heal itself back up in short I wanted iono’s bellibolt to be the new Whitney’s miltank ever since bellibolt’s reveal trailer featuring iono unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be
I'm glad you bring up tate and Liza. I feel like they're forgotten how cracked they are.
We can unanimously agree that in 2001 we were having nightmares about Whitney and that damn Milktank. If you aren’t old enough to have played the OG Gold and Silver I’m sorry. I was 7 years old forming white hairs
Whitney's Miltank is still a nightmare lol especially compared to Claire's Kingdra 😊 🐄 🐮
Unova is definitely a surprise for the unprepared. I was shocked by the first Gym in the original BW. A Gym Leader battle not only based on your starter, but specifically set up to have the type advantage against you?! Especially since, at that point, your team is still young, flimsy, and probably under-leveled (at most, you have the following: your starter, Lillipup, Patrat, Purrloin, and the elemental monkey that counters the Gym Leader’s). I remember a hardcore Nuzlocke video where the player didn’t beat the first Gym until his NINTH try! And he was stupidly lucky that he won!
Lenora has plenty of counters, so she’s not too bad. Elesa, however, is definitely a difficulty spike. I went up against her with a Moxie Sandile, with Rock Tomb and the Eviolite, and it still went down. Her Emolgas just dealt too much damage, and Zebstrika easily outran my whole team. She is TOUGH.
I honestly think the original BW games were designed specifically to dissuade Nuzlockes, because only diehard masochists would try it.
The electric gym is by far the hardest in Scarlet.
Also, as an og Blue/red player, Sabrina is still a gym leader I don't take lightly. I even leave her battle till 2nd or 3rd last in any any soul silver run I do.
Juans' Chesto berry + rest + double team + water pulse confusion + ice beam + swift swim Kingdra: Am I a joke to you?
In my first time in White 2, Elesa has definitely given me three tries to beat her! That damn Emolga kept messing up my Sandile. I had to evolve him to get him and his Bite/Crunch and his Attack stat stronger. Even my Pignite’s Flame Charge wasn’t enough either. Those constant Volt Switches were also the reason. 🙄
Great Vid as always Mystic.
I'll give you Sabrina in Gen 1, but if your leveled up well enough you'll have an easier time, as I've steamrolled her Gen 1 team multiple times, getting the badge with in five minutes.
Clair, I'll also give you, but there is one mon that will save you...Swinub, as my last playthrough in Gen II, I literally got by her by the hair on my chinny-chin chin, and its thanks to Swinub.
I'll add onto your video idea, and suggest every gym leader of that specific type i. e. Misty for Water, or Flannery for Fire.
You defo get lucky if you cleared it with piloswine. One of her dragonairs have Fire blast and you'll never know which one. And kindgra has surf
Lucky isn't exactly the word I'd use, as that Swinub was the last mon in my party.
Swinub didn't evolve either, as it was at level 20, while Clair's Dragonair was level 42, and I got it with a Powder Snow.
That is what I like to call a real nail-bitter.@@SochimaOkwara
@@mikeburnette2190 excuse me what?
@@mikeburnette2190 OK so you didn't just clear it with a swinub at least
Mystic , you should do best team for oras alternate starters remastered
I agree with hoenne for Tate and Lysa since my swampers surf was faaaaar from winning me the match.
I lost like twice (and I was only using 4 mons so)
I think Clay is the hardest in Unova
Especially during my Electric Mono Type runs back in the day lol
Larry was the hardest for me. Most of my team was slow. And I wasn’t prepared for a Staraptor. I still won. But half my team fainted lol
For me Tulip was the hardest gym leader on Paldea.
She was the only one who gave me some trouble.
9:40 unless you bring a Toxtricity because even if you mess up on the question she is still a cakewalk
For BW2, the Fighting Type argument doesn't really hold, if you ask me. Tepig evolves at level 16. Riolu learns Force Palm at 15. That's well past Cheren's highest level. If you grind up that high, you're gonna steamroll him to where the type matchup barely even factors. And sufficient overgrinding can trivialise anything regardless, so assuming that would basically kill the discussion right from the start. Only matching his highest level, the fight can definitely still be a bit shakey, with your best bets for straight attacking being your starter, or Sewaddle for having the most favourable stat spread and reliable 60 power STAB. Mareep can help with Thunder Wave, too. But that's more dedicated prep than most gym battles will warrant.
For XY, what also contributed to Grant potentially causing issues, is that he has good Speed control between his two Pokémon and easily sets up for Flinches that way. Rock Tomb and Thunder Wave to cut down your speed, then (Strong Jaw-boosted) Bite on Tyrunt to potentially throw a wrench into your plans. Unless you have the firepower to just destroy Amaura immediately, you kinda need two good answers for a reliable fight.
Gonna disagree on even giving Ryme a mention, frankly. Her team is just... really bad. And you get a bunch of stat boosts for free. She's got nothing on Raihan. I think Grusha and Larry are harder fights than she is, though I do agree on Iono. Electric Tera Levitate is probably the most clever use of Tera that we see in SV's gyms, and Mismagius isn't actually that frail at that point in the game with no exploitable weakness. Having that combined with Confusion and escalating threat through Charge Beam, and she has a legit win condition to watch out for.
Omg yes your right with jhoto
Can we get the best teams for pupplio sun and moon and also ultra. It’s the only one in the gen you skipped
So does 7th Gen sun and moon and ultras don't exist anymore or something or did I miss something here
Here's my list:
Kanto: Sabrina, and it's not even close even with dark types in the Let's Go games.
Johto: Even with your rock type options, Whitney is still the hardest. Clair's Kingdra is not really that much of a problem given your options and your fully evolved pokemon by that point in the game.
Hoenn: Winona as having zero ice options makes it difficult to beat the dragon dance Altaria. While Norman could be a contender, his Slakings are honestly really easy to play around if you are good at predicting moves.
Sinnoh: This one is a little harder to pick as none of them are that difficult imo, but I'd have to go with Maylene as her Lucario has good coverage for that point in the game.
Unova: For BW, it is definitely Elesa as due to having those 2 Emolga, you can't easily win with a ground-type, not to mention volt-switch being a pretty decently high powered move makes it hard to use rock types for that fight, particularly with Archen and Tirtuga being weak to electric typing. For BW2, I would definitely say Cheren as his set up can mess you up badly if you don't pay attention.
Kalos: None of them are really that difficult tbh, but I would have to give it to Grant as his 2 fossil pokemon do cover for his rock weaknesses quite well.
Alola: The totems are way harder than the Kahunas, but I feel like the only Kahuna that can give you trouble is Nanu due to his Alolan Persian hitting quite hard and being a quick pokemon that can set up nasty plots to sweep you.
Galar: If you didn't pick Grooky, then Nessa is quite diffucult, but I'd have to give it to Raihan as his team can counter dragon weaknesses well and he has a solid weather themed team, plus it being a double battle already makes it harder.
Paldea: This is another hard one as they are all not to difficult imo, but I will probably say Brassius as even with Crocolar, his Sudowoodo can actually be quite tricky if you let it Trailblaze a bunch of times.
I haven't played BW, but in BW2 you can catch an onix, and it pretty much solos elesa
Haven't started the video, and I already feel Whitney will be on this list.
Its it bad i never had a problem with Iono? All i dod was used smack down then went 10 fold with the ground move
Finally a none competitive video!
I'd say...
Kanto: Sabrina
Johto: Whitney
Hoenn: Norman
Sinnoh: Fantina
Unova: Clay
Kalos: Grant
Alola: Nanu
Galar: Raihan
Paldea: Iono
Mismagius’ Tera-Electric-type, combined with Levitate could still be bypassed by Mold Breaker, from something like Fraxure/Haxorus.
Unless your over leveled
@@adriancomia6618Just saying and suggesting a strategy. 🤷🏻♂️
What about the gen 7 trials?
Tate and Liza are a challenge in the OG but my Sceptile and I laugh at them.
Fantima I never battle third. I always face her fifth, by then I've got enough steam that my Luxio can just, swat her.
Do top 10 pokemon of ash.
I love double battles.
I always struggled with Maylene in Sinnoh
Whitney is harder than Clair
Not a bad listing.
For base r/s it’ll always be Winona tbh
Thats interesting cuz i personally didnt ever have a problem with winona
Outside of a nuzlocke anyways😊
Cynthia would just sweep all of them with that freaking Garchomp 😂
10:26 W Plug
for Tate and Liza's Aces just bring in Aggron, it'll decimate them
I think the strongest Gym leaders of every Region are Kanto Sabrina Johto Clair Hoenn Tate and Liza Sinnoh Fantina Unova Elesa Kalos Korrina Galar Raihan Paldea Iona.
I never found Clair hard. By that time I had 6 pokemons. Så she was pretty easy. But Withney….. it is fine if you had Heracross og Machop. But i never had a machop because i couldt not trade. And didnt always have Heracross. So I hated her
I completely disagree with Tate and Eliza.
You can easily run Sceptile, Shiftree or a Ludicolo to bust through 3/4 of the team.
Ask any Emerald nuzlocker and I think the true run-ender in Hoenn is Watson. Sonicboom, at that stage of the game, is actual hell - making it damn hard to re-gen/out-heal a guarenteed 20hp at a time when most mons don't have much more then 60hp. Let alone Shock Wave on Magneton and a scary-ass Manetric, plus a Voltorb that can Self-Destruct and you are almost always definately losing mons against Watson - if not a team-wipe. Even at this time the Kicken-Chicken struggles against Magneton/Magnemite.
My team was
Marshtomb
Tailow
Electryke
Makuhita
Ralts I got beat the first time after I evolved my Makuhita & Ralts the rematch went a lot better than I anticipated.
Grant was hecka easy honestly the entire mid game was easy cause I got super lucky and found a gible with dragon rage in the cave that connects the town and the route together (can't remember what it's called) but a move that always takes 40hp away every time it hits kinda made the game uninteresting and lackluster for me
You know tate and liza is the strongest in hoenn when Ash needs to used his Thunder armor to defeat them 😂😂😂
My only disagreement would be tate and liza, only because when i first played emerald my sceptile destroyed her with non stop leaf blades 🤣
Houndoom isn’t available for Fantina in platinum.
That Cheren reminds me of Sasuke
7:55 Who the heck is Elasis it's Elesa
4:45 YES... IT IS 😡😡😡
Nothing on the Alola region?
Alola doesn’t have Gyms so they are not counted.
day 2 of asking for pokemon xd gale of darkness best team
And hoenn yes swampert is still the hero Hit those rock types with ice beam
I remember it took me like four tries to beat that freaking gym lmao
You’re a lil sus with those pics
I disagree that Clair is stronger than Whitney, sure Clair has less weaknesses and a bigger team, but by that point of the game you have a ton of options for strong neutral damage, Kingdra might be bulky and annoying but, it will sweep you like Cynthia's Garchomp if you don't beat it fast? Not a chance, guys, stop overhyping "super effective" damage, a Pokemon not having weaknesses does not necessarily mean it is a dangerous Pokemon, there's no dragon meteor in gen 2 guys, dragons are not that overpowered yet.
Whitney, on the other hand, is just too much by the time you face her, granted her team has weaknesses to fighting, but let's just see the full picture: you just crushed Falkner and Bugsy just by pressing "A" and the entirety of the game has been equally the same, then all of the sudden, Whitney's Milktank sweep you... did I just lose? How so? You probably tried a second and third time to no avail and for the very first time, you HAVE to prepare, maybe by leveling up or catching a horrible fighting type just to drop it out of your team as soon as you can, Whitney CRUSHES the false sense of invulnerability you once had and the rest of the game will never be the same, that's why I think she's the strongest.
Yeah her Miltank will humble you lol my recent Mono Water type run in Crystal i tried my hardest to hit it with all i got but she still gave me trouble 20 years later lol
@LinkMaster5555 Exactly, Whitney with humble you big time, I always find funny when content creators downplay her like: " b b-but actually you can just catch a Machop near her gym and beat her" dude, with preparation, every gym leader is a joke, knowing the trick and catching an awful Machop just to beat her isn't a great accomplishment, if anything it only reinforces her status as the only Jotho gym leader you have to go out of your way to beat if you want a "quick" win without grinding levels.
@@Exiled28 yeah plus she can still knockout Machop anyways making having one not much of an advantage lmao
@LinkMaster5555 For real lmao, and you STILL have to train the Machop so in the end you'll be wasting experience in a Pokemon you're not planning to use mid-term, It's a better use of time just to grind levels.
@@Exiled28 yeah i personally never beat her with a Machop i just beat her with whatever i had at the time but i was always nervous when i got to that point in the game
How about Larry - paldea
It's actually easy to beat him
@@aswin5151 how?
@@Sakurasan2023 a lot of fighting type Pokemon are available easily
@@aswin5151 fair
Raihan doesn't use Turtonator.
he does in the champions cup
You would have to be above Fuu and Ran's level to beat them. Absol and Yamirami are what you can use against Solrock and Lunatone. Topius' Magical Leaf may take down Nendoll, and Mariruri's Ice Beam may beat Neitio.
Only emerald Tate and Lisa are broken outside emerald they’re jokes
ryme is the easiest gym leader in the series you get like 20 omni-boosts
Clay and Elisa are hardest
I’m sorry but Winona is the hardest gym leader of Hoenn imo
Gen 5 and on the gym leaders are Jokes..
Why do u say it like that?
skipped sun and moon
Nah Tate and Liza still are easy, Juan is way harder in emerald
Even excluding him, Norman is harder.
Also everything he said about swampert not being able to take.them down is bs, as an avid Swampert user.
Edit I checked the 'best Hoenn team' video and they literally said that Swampert would take out the gym
i’ve never been able to finish a play-through of gen6. so boring
