I love that they didn't call him Pokémon Trainer but instead gave him the title of Pokémon Wielder.

brilliant diamond and shining pearl. They made the overall game easier, but they made the bosses and gym leaders harder (baffling desition, but oh well). The elite 4 was BRUTAL. They used held items, EVs, IVs, levels, switching, it was essentially competitive pokemon but you could use items (and so can they, but you had more anyway). and while I did do a ground type only run, I did won by sheer luck at the end of the day (second run, I got oblivarated on the first).

[@tedscheett9420]

Volo is like my 3rd favorite character in Pokemon, right behind N and Guzma. He is absolutely brilliant when it comes to being a twist villain. We had reason to trust him, and really nothing of his demeanor told us that he was going to stab us in the back. Maybe it's not the most clean twist ever compared to other reveals in modern media, but come on! We had three twist villains in a row that SCREAMED villainy in Ginger Wolverine 1930/40's German Soldier, a Dommy Mommy with a serious case of crazy eye, and some Hunger Games looking Dad Bod. What was Volo for most of the game but a wandering salesman? Serious Majora's Mask energy.

[@Mythol-OG]

Funny how Rose had a Dad Bod but couldn't be a good Father Figure.

[@Meeviche]

Volo gave me major creep vibes from the first time I came across him. I suppose I would not say he screamed of villainy, but he did of backstabber-y.

She's just an abusive mother who has the harmless hobbies of cryogenically freezing Pokemon to maintain their beauty, opening wormholes by torturing a Pokemon, bonding with some neurotoxin parasite to become hentai itself, and calls her blood children useless, horrible, traitors. But those aren't the traits of an antagonist or a villain, no no no. Just a misunderstood loving mother. Yeah, no, she's definitely a villain.

[@jasonkrane1708]

Fair warning, he’s at LEAST as difficult to beat as Cynthia.

[@starblaze621]

Being prepared for this fight in advance gave it a completely different tone for me personally - I personally never struggled with Cynthia, nor did I find her fight particularly fear-inducing. So knowing about Volo in advance, I decided to max out my entire team's effort levels and levels, including Palkia and Dialga. By the time I got to Volo, the theme felt more like his funeral than mine.

[@kirbyfreakyt4695]

I've long since known of their power. And so, I always come prepared. I have never felt the defeat they shine on others. It's almost the player's boss fight theme at that point. Also Volo's team has a glaring weakness or two. A Fairy type can chew through 4 of his 7 pokemon as long as Bullet punch doesn't hit too hard, a ground type can take care of three (the Roserade, if you're careful, the Lucario, and the Arcanine) and then you just have to deal with Togekiss who you can kind of just Hex out of existence with any status user and Wrath, Parade, or Hex on standby.

[@5ashll303]

I knew about him in advance and still got swept. Though I only knew you fights him and he had giritina nothing else.

[@cold-bloodedbeats4139]

I knew about the Giratina parts, but the only reason I won was because of Max Revives. If I hadn't used items at all, I would've been finished. Fighting a team full of 6 strong Pokemon and 2 Legendaries back to back takes a lot out of ones team

[@kirbyfreakyt4695]

@@cold-bloodedbeats4139 Honestly had I just used the one pokemon, I'd have never needed to use items but nooo my brain said "Hey what if we made Regigigas survive with Max Potions until Slow Start runs out and then slaughtered his team? Oops guess he got crit Uhhhh STARTER SAVE US"

[@derrickubay-ubay9503]

Thank those who suffered first so that the ones who follow suite will not suffer the same fate.

[@ultimatekirb3979]

Screw it, time to write something from the perspective of my player character when I was playing PLA. As I approached the shattered peak of the Temple of Sinnoh on the back of Wyrdeer, Volo awaited. As his speech started, five words ringed in my mind. "Why? Was everything for naught?". In my brightest moments, he was there to help me. At my absolute lowest, when I was left to fend for myself out in the wilderness after the sky distorted, Volo was there to lift me up. Was it all for nothing? Did everything we do together... mean nothing? No. No, this can't be why. Surely, there's still some good in him... _right?_ Story aside, this remix is absolutely amazing! It takes the fear factor from the original, and dials it up to 111.

[@BJGvideos]

If there's good in him...ask Togekiss

[@IcyOTU]

Everyone says Cynthia's hard as hell in BDSP but that's not entirely true. I purposefully lost against her once just to finish my Pokédex to unlock the Natdex earlier than post-game, and that was the only loss I had in my entire playthrough. Cynthia went down like a harmless fly to me and I was partially under leveled. This theme though.. It still gives me nightmares. Actually dreamt I was being chased by an irate Giratina last night lmao

[@Zwatcher-x4k]

Here's the thing, Cynthia's dramatic piano is kind of a joke for the beat down your about to get. Volo's actually done shit to warrant having the dramatic piano, the jokes about him being ready to kill you aren't jokes.

_Brings out Cresselia_ It's over, Volo-nikan. I have the high ground... Moral, and legitimate.

[@kirbyfreakyt4695]

His Arcanine and Togekiss are the only things not weak to either Psychic or Moonblast, and the Arcanine doesn't have the best Sp. Def. Edit: And Lucario, but since it's Fighting half is weak to both, it will be a pretty simple choice since you could use either (though Psychic just has STAB so just use that) Even Giratina is weak to Moonblast and Cresselia can take a hit. Catch the -Atk Cresselia before that point of the story and watch the world burn to your pokemon of dreams. Edit: Giratina's only Ghost type move is the one with 80 accuracy. Use the defensive moves and win. Only Arcanine and Lucario pose any threat due to having Crunch and having some sort of speed. If you can Calm Mind (with it's higher speed) and Strong Style down Spiritomb with Moonblast and keep the PP of the attacking moves up you just win. My starter and Regigigas went down (I thought he would be good in a casual long battle, alright? With enough Max Potions, Slow Start could have worn off and he could have won... but no he got crit oof) so I sent in Cresselia and all my problems melted away.

[@obits3]

Grinding isn’t good for streams, so many players were caught off guard by this battle. Other major battles could be cheesed since they technically only required skill to throw balms. Also, a lot of major streamers refuse to use items in battle. Fighting Volo under leveled without max revives is shock to the system.

[@connortg5]

in response i ask you this: did you know he was coming? were you prepared for a major trainer fight? did you grind your pokemon to a significantly higher level than his? pretty much any bossfight in pokemon (with the only exceptions being in the competitive areas that force level caps and no-items) could be made trivial by overlevelling, or stocking up on items, especially if you know it's coming and prepare accordingly, but in a game with VERY few trainers and even fewer ACTUAL teams, a 6v8 against a full, balanced team + essentially 2 boosted legendaries was VERY difficult to anyone that didn't know it was coming, which was a lot of people.

I wished I guessed that because Volo’s name means flight, in Italian, and it also means, I want, in Latin, I can also analyze people’s names in cartoons along with their personality. I should have known he was bad without translating the name Volo, and knowing Girantia was an evil dragon, and the translation for I want, and flight, yeah, that’s actually understandable to say I have more evidence that he’s evil. You know, I do have a feeling he could return in a future game or we might get another villain, what I would like for him to get caught, or he could die, he could challenge the player again, and he’ll be blinded by rage that the player had met Arceus That is so correct, and may not be accurate considering. He looked like he could be dangerous, his face shows it all, the smile, the hair, necklace, clothes, all of it.
