Thread: What Was Your Single Hardest Battle in the Pokemon Games?

Tate and Liza in Emerald really pissed me off in Emerald and I can't wait to smash them in the PWT.

Cynthia in post-story B/W surely? She's got that freakin' Garchomp that packs a punch (SO FAST) and 2 Pokemon with no type weaknesses. She's a monster to come up against by accident. Actually Cynthia just generally seems to be difficult... Looking forward to the world tournament!

I would honestly have to say my single hardest battle would be against Ghetsis in my first playthrough of White. That Hydreigon....UGH. I lost to him twice, and when I came back later with a Scrafty, I only won because Focus Blast missed...once. Had it hit Scrafty twice, or gotten a critical, I can practically assure you the same thing would have happened again.

In my most recent memory - Shauntal. I didn't have any pokemon that had advantage over hers, and even my Chandelure, she just killed it :(

In SS, Lance, because my pokemon were mid to low 40s. I had to use Lugia, and I hate using legendaries during main story. My rematch was easy, since I had my lvl 77 Swampert from Emerald that knew icebeam.

Ghetsis is usually hard (well, Hydreigon is), but I beat him very easily today. Haxorus with Dragon Dance, dragon fang, and Rivalry: Boufalant OHKO, Hydreigon OHKO, Seismitoad OHKO.

Red. My main team was low 50s, so I took down his team with my 79 Swampert. I used 3 of my weaker pokemon to take down his Venasaur.

Whitney, OH Whitney, took me weeks to beat that stupid Milktank. Thankfully Para-Fusion saved me.

When I was playing on PBR, I faced someone who used a Steel-type Arceus, based on defense. It kept using Iron Defense, while my Ninjask kept using Swords Dance. I baton-passed it to Garchomp, who used Earthquake, but it didn't do much, so I started over again lol.

However, that's probably my most annoying. My hardest battles would probably be the only draw I've ever had online.

Pokemon Sapphire, before I had any idea about type match ups. Sydney fucked me up something fierce until I realised my precious lv 88 Swampert was double weak to his Cacturne AND Shiftry. I also had no fighting types and the rest of my team was around lvl 35, while Sydney's team was lvl 50. Took me a week of trying and rage quiting to finally win by the skin of my teeth.


I was not a clever child.

Red, back in Silver Version.

Hm... Wallace was a pain for me in Emerald, and so was Cynthia in Diamond... but, I have to say Lorelei of the E4 in Pokemon Blue. She was one of my greatest obstacles to get past. If I could beat her, the rest was fairly easy.

Self-explanatory.


For me it was damn Ghetsis in Black.I tried about 79 times before I even got to his Hydreigon.

OMG saw this thread and knew what I was going to type and here it is in the first post.

While Witney actually beat me a couple of times with her damn Miltank, the battles were never close. She always beat me, til I got the Female Machop, then I won by a landslide.

The closest, toughest, narrowest battle I ever fought was Ghetsis in Black, it was truly a delight, and without effort of my part, it did look like something from the anime. Ghetsis took an early lead, then somehow I managed to turn it around, but then he hit back, and I was down to only 1, and had to start reviving, then I managed to get his Boufalant to kill itself from keep using a move like take down or double edge, so it was losing health while I healed. Then when it was down, I was able to bring out Reshiram, and Samurott, to take out the remaining 2, and just managed to win, with only my Samurott left, on 17 health, and I think my Samurott and his final Pokemon had about equal speed, so it was pure luck who hit first, and both moves would have KO'd the other, I just managed to get in first, and I won.

Fucking Ghetsis in Black.It took at lest 79 tries before I got to his motherfucking Hydreigon.God it was so fucking hard!!!!thats what she said.

Am I the only one who didn't have any trouble with Ghetsis at all? I took his Hydreigon down with two of my Samurott's X-Scissors |:

My hardest battle was Cynthia, without a doubt. That stupid Garchomp is just too fast, and I didn't have any Ice or Dragon type moves to beat it quickly...

Ghetsis was no problem for me, but I had trained pretty hard before I faced him. My Golurk pretty much took him out. I also kept a couple of level 100 back-ups with me, just in case but I really didn't need them.

My absolute hardest battle? It's a toss-up between Elesa and Clay. Both battles took me over half an hour--with Elesa it was the Volt Switching Emolga tango while with Clay it was Excadrill and Hone Claws. Okay, Elesa was the harder of the two: I didn't save before I went up against her and I couldn't get a hit off either Emolga. I had to tough it out and finish that battle, whether I liked it or not or lose a lot of progress. Yeah, I'll never do that again.
