What's the hardest battle you've had in a pokemon game?

You can try to not be bad. It is a good strat for beating Liz and Tate.

Whitney when going in blind and no one comes even close.

Her Miltank is infamous for a reason.

Possibly Luna or Radomus.

Cynthia. But I purposely started off the game with 6 pokemon to make the game as hard as possible. Still, she was the hardest in Platinum.

When I was like 12 I had huge problems getting past Norman's two Slakings in Ruby. I had to grind my Marshtomp up to level 36 on that fucking desert since no trainer was accepting any rematches yet.

Do you guys purposefully underlevel. I dont think I've ever struggled with a gym leader after the age of seven. The only time I struggle is with the elite 4 if I limit my item use.

If you have a Pokemon with stat-up moves or a healthy stock of X-Items, Spiritomb is really easy to set-up on unless he gets lucky with Ominous Wind boosts.

I remember struggling to beat May at route 110 in Ruby...nowadays pokemon games are easy as fuck

>>26325207
Who the fuck actually use x-items?

Maybe you were just as bad as OP when you were younger.

Whitney's Miltank and Norman's Slaking.

I did in almost all games since my team is usually pretty underleveled.

>Tate and Liza in RS
Easiest gym 1 surf and they're done
>Tate and Liza in Emerald
Hardest gym
>Claydol with earthquake and Xatu with sunny day and calm mind
>Solrock and Lunatone ready to hop in
>Hyper potion spam

Elesa in BW before my Drillburr learn Rock Slide with that fucking EMOlga

Her Emolga where more annoying than hard.

I find the B/W Elite 4 rematch and Cynthia postgame fight to be pretty tough, mostly because of their high levels, though.

Norman's Slaking and Whitney's Miltank on the other hand can be difficult even if you are leveled appropriately. They might be gimmicky, but as is the way of the gimmick they will ruin your day if you don't see them coming.

In no order,

1. May under the bicycling bridge

2. Whitney's Miltank

3. Bugsy's Gen 2 Scyther with Fury Cutter

4, Gen 2's Faulkner with Mud Slap.

5. Blue in Cerulean City

6. Liz and Tate


At one point or another in my life, I've found these battles to be difficult

>1. May under the bicycling bridge

The only time she's hard is if you chose Mudkip and don't have a flying type mon with you
