[@michaelqijieling2627]

It should be noted that according to the trainer data for all the E4 members and Kieran, all their Pokémon have perfect IVs and max EVs (either 252 in 2 specific stats, or a mixed spread which is crazy-), which adds to the difficulty. Perhaps if Geeta, or any other trainer’s Pokémon are maxed out like this, this would alter certain damage calcs and turn battles around in their favour.

[@Mobtrapper-hq8is]

I legit think character runs, in your format, are both harder and more interesting than Nuzlockes

[@oliverorchard6774]

I will say, the dlc did give her a strong rematch team with better pokemon, not to mention putting them in the right order!

[@Beavie]

It was night and day.

[@requiemagent3014]

There is still room for improvement for Geeta. As always. Why Kingambit didn't get sucker punch baffles me. Also her Espathra should have gotten speed boost with protect. Very hard to keep this in check with stored power and dazzling gleam.

[@frank2510]

C'mon buddy, be real 😂. Can you imagine Kingambit with sucker punch, last pkmn to enter in battle and buffed by tera dark and its ability? That's just nasty lol

[@tremor3258]

Glad she made a better showing, though just a team of 'oops all sweepers' isn't going to be easy to deal with with Drayton.

[@joannechoi8476]

To be fair to Geeta, I think she probably could beat Drayton if you switched up the order of her pokemon, or changed their pairings in the battle. Was always sending out her pokemon in the same sequence one of the rules of the challenge? And I don't hold it against her that she had to use items, considering all the elite four use them too.

[@Feliciano151]

I've always thought that Geeta's team in the base game should've been Glimmora, Kingambit, Arboliva, Gholdengo, Palafin, and Armorouge/Ceruledge; that said I definitely like the new team they gave her! I was one of the people who criticized her for being so ride or die for her Avalugg but I can't deny that it put in work. Great video as always!

[@Jeikobu]

I imagine the same team, I think it represents the region well while using some pokemon that are pretty strong but don't get much of a spotlight.

[@user-ov3su8oh2y]

Geeta's anime redemption ark has begun

[@adamnakamura8003]

Honestly, I did feel Geeta was challenging when I had a near max friendship team base game, but the fact that she beat Kieran, a kid who trained in Canon Smogon Academy to beat a protag, and then beat the Principal of said Academy was absolutely awesome! Although I doubt you are the most unbiased example of how it’d go (no one tells Drayton to “Say the line” without serious beef), I’m glad to see that she improved objectively with her new team, even coming close to beating Terapagos’ full strength.

[@MarcusMapua]

With Geeta's new lineup & the strategy tactics with each one of them, I'm not even sure Nemona's new team could even stand a chance against her team now as Keiran couldn't!!!!!!!!!!! Chesnaught would make its fellow bearded Grass type predecessor proud by following its example with setting up defensive building & HP draining tactics!!!!!! And I have to say that Geeta's Dragapult might slightly impress me a bit more over Leon's Dragapult. Leon's fighting style has always felt like to me in being portrayed as hype-showy & wildly flashy battling; while Geeta's is calm, cool, & collected while fighting with holding nothing back. And honestly Dragapult's own species style does seem in a way to match with Geeta's style. Even the natural/standard moveset of Geeta's Dragapult might one up Leon's Dragapult: true both utilize Thunderbolt & Shadow Ball, but Geeta's Dragapult utilizes Dragon Darts a lot "earlier" than Leon's Dragapult; and I have to say that Geeta's knowing of Sucker Punch might put it over than Leon's with Flamethrower

[@we_like_quaq7619]

I love the interactions in the clubroom between Arven, Penny, and Nemona

[@jakelogan2342]

Not that I'm defending Geeta by any stretch of the imagination, but she was never designed to be the "final boss" in the game like other and actually scaled pretty well with the other main story (Penny and Arven). I always saw her as more of a "final exam" question, since you're a student studying at school and not out to compete on a global scale, since it doesn't seem that Paldea has a Pokemon League in a traditional sense much like the Orange Islands weren't a typical league, and for that she fills the role nicely. Would be interesting to see how Nemona handles this, though... Great video, as always :)

[@jericoy.]

I thought that Grusha would have Cetoddle but it might be Snorunt. Interesting. I think Geeta's new team is fine as is. Changing the order helps a lot and she has better coverage now to be a more decent challenge to new players

[@ScaramoucheValley]

Well, Geeta uses this team in the Academy Ace Tournament after catching Terapagos

[@jazminbalazs553]

Great Video(im' saying this as i havent watched this😌)

[@railroader2431]

I feel like it’s worth noting that basically every champion uses one or two “weaker” Pokémon in their roster, so I don’t think Geeta should be catching flak for not filling her team with overpowered Pokémon. Especially since Avalugg, the Pokémon who caught the most heat, more than pulled its weight. She only really lost out to Drayton anyway. Everybody else fell. Although I kinda wonder if using power herb meteor beam Glimmora could have helped.

[@denimvelvet4670]

Her new team is 100% better. There is room for improvement, but I guess the question becomes just how far do you go?

[@TheUnovanZorua]

I just want to say that the thumbnail made me laugh out loud.

[@aaronolson6736]

I suppose its from this series, I looked at Pokemon each game's player character is shown to have, what their rivals add to their teams, and when available checked potential coverage to come up with what each game's protagonist likely had as their team. The teams can be difficult to use, only add members after a point where the rival would increase their party (only 4 in BW until after Cheren Route10 fight), and subtitutes are only allowed when the slots are open but the Pokemon isn't available.

[@pulsearcher]

i was literally wondering this morning before the video was uploaded where this month's challenge video was and thought maybe you'll post it tomorrow. also, you have no proof i spoiled the dlc content for myself as i've yet to spend over 80 dollars for them...

Here me out, what if the league board forced Geeta to use a nerfed team order for the champion rank battles? . . . Probably not, but it's an idea.

[@somethingbanter]

her team was always meant to change when the DLC came out. It's not that they were listening to fans about it. It's that they intentionally took her final team and dumbed it down for the main game

[@Wtfisulookin10]

Your thumbnail is savage Lmoa.😂 Poor geeta if she had a good rearranged pokemon.

[@shinyumberoncat8076]

I thought I saw a shiny magimate around 4:59 it had black magnets I thought it was not shiny at first bc of the glare but it is shiny o7 missed shiny

[@SealFormulaMaster]

I wonder what Pokemon Geeta would use for doubles. She seems to look down on the doubles format slightly as evident when she was worried Ryme's gym wouldn't go over all that well, which is also why I think at first she would use her normal team. But if doubles became popular in Paldea, would she change up her team to fit the format? Hopefully Paldean Winds will show what Pokemon she has with her, which may give us some idea as to what she would use.

[@MarcusMapua]

To be fair all official Elite 4 & Champion battles are 1v1 battles in all other regions after all; I believe blueberry academy made their battle format double battles as a way to symbolize teamwork & coordination-combination in their students. - And it was a nice thought in wishful thinking with Paldean Winds

[@troychun475]

Is the snovert at the end a reference to Grusha (girl)???

[@leiascissorhands6620]

I always thought that the one good thing that the BDSP games did was giving the gym leaders items, and making the elite four difficult by giving them held item and ev trained pokemon, so I found it weird when Game Freak didn't give the paldean gym leaders and Elite Four members the same treatment. Now that the Indigo Disk implemented it, and even made the battles into doubles, used the tera typing, and made the teams competitive, yes, I can see the reason a lot of people liked this particular DLC, it's a challenge for us young adults that play these games and want something different without taking it too far.

[@laurynbrown7958]

NO! I’ve been spending a whole month trying to finish this challenge first! I was almost finished but then I see this uploaded! >:(

[@TheAngryChickenMan]

I think Geeta's new team is pretty good! However in the future episodes for the other gym leaders, the each gain a sixth pokemon, so I think you should make sure they have those pokemons when you play as them! 😀

[@anthonyanglemyer]

I'd say Geeta's new team is an improvement.

[@rishiheda8186]

[@Beavie]

The new team is pretty great. While not the strongest ever, it's got a good composition and the upgrades were a big help.

[@liamtherobot9656]

[@WarmLillie]

Geeta might be the champion of Paldea can she defeat the next generation? Has she been holding back? With Glimmora now being the head of her team would it change everything? When the going gets tough Geeta barely works Sorry if this more brief, busy doing stuff. Geeta might gotten new trick but not all them are good.

[@orvillewright9246]

I like it.

[@jaredtheastralartist2510]

I actually don’t think Geeta is as bad as a champion as everyone says she is. It’s not really about the Mons you use, it’s what you do with it. Some mons can be offensive or defensive or supportive. Most of geetas team is very flexible so that many mons can fufill multiple roles. In top of that, she’s a pretty unique champion, she uses strong and weak Pokemon, and has a great dynamic with everyone. I hope with time that people can recognize Geeta as a pretty solid champion in the Pokemon world

[@MortalOrder]

The main issue is that she didn’t use her pokemon well in the main game. I don’t dislike her champion status for having gogoat and avalugg (I used a physical attacking Hypno and am working on a Hypno-only run), but I do think her “not holding back” attitude doesn’t fit how she used her team.

[@jaredtheastralartist2510]

@@MortalOrder to me I lost to her and then it was a 1v1 cus of kinggambit and glimora. Also, reminder champion in paldaya isn’t a title like the rest of the champions, it’s a rank. Geeta is there to see if you’re on the level of champion. This is evidence by characters like nemona being stronger

[@MortalOrder]

@@jaredtheastralartist2510I get that, but her “can’t hold back” attitude really doesn’t help her case with this. I think without that like people would be more forgiving. Plus, a champion-ranked trainer should know how to most effectively use their pokemon, whatever they are. Pre-dlc Geeta doesn’t do that.

[@jaredtheastralartist2510]

@@MortalOrder to be fair, espathra is a better leed then glimora, it’s a very good way of preventing sat boost sweeps. Avulug is really bulky and can be crazy hard to take down. And can hit back with double force, gogoat is very nasty if you’re not careful, and attack boost is STILL a attack boost for gambit, and glimora can be use pretty well offensively as well as defensively

[@christianbettles4835]

[@mathewmallon7208]

You let slip who's next

[@dantesdiscoinfernolol]

I suddenly feel so much more justified in my frustration at how difficult Drayton was for me. He was the only fight I had to reset...both during the story and for our first rematch. But I guess if a Geeta challenge run can beat literally everyone BUT Drayton, maybe the bozo is supposed to be that hard Oh, and Geeta has officially grown on me as a character. I think the idea of her purposefully handicapping by sending out her og team in a cruddy order just makes too much sense. Combined with more little positive character moments (Look up her conversations with Drayton or Poppy in the League Clubroom), I think I actually like her, even if she's not as ridiculously strong as other champions.

[@DoctorNovakaine]

I got a bit too cocky against Drayton. I was like "You know what, I'll fight you with the team I just caught to beat your other trainers with, they're primarily good against Dragon-types anyway even though your grunts really didn't have any of those." Oof...not smooth at all. I leaned pretty heavily on items to make it through the battle. No, Drayton's legit pretty strong.

Did all the other trainers die? If not, then no chance. I played the DLC on my mates Switch since the first game wasn't worth wasting the coin on, so I didn't bother with the DLC personally; though it was still disappointing. I disliked how easy Leon was in Sword and Shield, but even he wasn't as big of a pushover as Geeta either pre, or post-DLC. Ultimately, I feel like Geeta was the worst champion by far. The greats for me are still Steven, Cynthia and Iris in terms of toughness.
