[@punasher]

Wrong title for this. It should be, "Easiest ways to defeat Nintendo final bosses." These are mostly just specific situations and strategies. I went up against Ultra Necrozma not knowing what type he was or what moves he used. You guys just looked him up online so you could get a handicap against him. His speed kept outdoing my own and he just kept using Power Gem over and over. Even though all my pokemon were ten levels higher than him, he kept one-shotting my team. It took giving my Noivern a Focus Sash, using the Z-Move on the first go, having the pure luck of Necrozma missing him on the second try and then finishing Necrozma off with Draco Meteor. I don't ever want to go through that again.

Not even fire red and leafgreen's national pokedex required no more than LESS THAN HALF. I literally asked my uncle to help me rebuild a team using his go save to catch new mons and even _then_ The experience boost of traded mons made it a _nightmare_ to control

[@Azzie_S]

Tbf unless they have a competitive-tier movesets, which tend to be left til post-game. 3 moves in Pokemon is probably better for the AI than 4. Otherwise you get stuff like Blues Alakazam having both Psychic and Psybeam and just randomly using the weaker psybeam. Whereas Traces mons have good coverage without being competitive and don't have any redundant weaker attacks or random bad moves like tail whip or Ember.

[@Azzie_S]

Like Blue's Alakazam would literally be more difficult if it only had 1 move, Psychic on its moveset, all the other moves legitimately just end up making the battle easier.

[@nicolaistuhlmuller8718]

@@sky_pirate the indigo disk is focused on battling and most major trainers have competitive teams, specifically competitive doubles so if you play at the level you’re supposed to (70-90 if i remember correctly) it could be quite difficult but I haven’t played the dlc yet but I’ve seen the teams and gameplay of it AI Sada/Turo use 570 bst with an attack boosted 590 pkmn and due to the nature of the battle you’re likely only going to know one type each and most are quite fast (135 base speed wtf) and if you play at the level cap (66-67) i can see people easily losing against them Terapagos is technically the “final” boss of the indigo disk with a tera raid format and being level 85 with a 700 bst and you’re on your own for a lot of the fight so the boosted hp makes it harder; you can use all 6 pokemon however Terapagos constantly has a shield up which requires tera to break and you need to build up tera over and over due to terapagos using YOUR tera for the shield, terapagos alsp has a stab spread move that does super effective damage to tera’d targets and also has zen headbutt to cover the fighting weakness; it does become easier when kerian joins but that’s to be expected

[@Terestrasz]

I don't entirely agree - because a) Some of these are essentially cheese strategies you probably wouldn't have done on your first playthrough, unless someone had told you to do things. Show of hands - how many people didn't know you could even do that at 0:48? How many people who made it to Shadow Link instantly thought "I should get in a corner and just stab over and over again"? b) Some of the OPness is intentional (Ie, Fierce Deity Mask) c) Ultra Necrozma really isn't a final boss. It's also a particular cheese strategy that many players didn't know how to do. d) Shadow Kirby and Trace actually put up kind of a fight for you. I personally feel Diantha is an easier final boss - because her team consists largely of glass cannon Pokémon that are hindered by low speed stats and poor movesets (ie, Aurorus doesn't lead so it never has a chance to use any defensive moves to slow you down. Plus it's a glass cannon) e) Look up Veld from Fire Emblem Thracia 776. Seriously - even the Demon King in Fire Emblem Sacred stones needs you to use specific weapons which you'll instinctively place on characters who turn out well, plus the infinite experience means you can easily have your units all maxed out. Veld doesn't even need THAT...

[@PamelaOberloher-Läuger]

Me too Buddy...i didnt use Cheese Strategies. I played with my Fuegro and the Sticker Pokemon...😂

[@VestedUTuber]

There's a few different categories of bosses here. SMB3 Bowser, SMB1 Bowser, Ultra Necrozma and LoZ2 Dark Link are bosses that are _normally_ hard (or at the very least non-trivial) but can be cheesed with specific strategies. Majora and CD-i Ganon have intentionally built-in weaknesses that trivialize the fight. I'd also put CD-i Ganon in a separate "poor design" category. Baby Bowser is designed to fit the low level of difficulty of the game. Medusa... I'm not sure where to put her since I don't know if you can face her without the Sacred Treasures. If you can't, then she's a case of poor design. If you can, then she fits in with Majora and CD-i Ganon as having an intentional weakness. Archer Shadow Kirby is both cheese and poor design, since the AI doesn't really "understand" how to deal with projectile spam. It actually starts to play decently once it gets in on you. MvDK3 Donkey Kong is poor design. Bonetail is an optional boss accessible surprisingly early in the game for supposedly being "end game content", and is balanced as such. If you challenge the pit after beating the Shadow Queen you're actually going to be overleveled. Trace... is honestly a case of coming back to a game actually knowing what you're doing. Apart from levels being higher, Yellow's Champion Rival fight was actually not that much harder, but a lot of people who played Let's Go! also probably played Yellow and knew what to expect. He actually has overall better Pokemon than the Yellow Rival with the exception of Slowbro instead of Alakazam (even then Slowbro's no slouch, metaphorically speaking, it's just more defensively oriented) and Rapidash instead of Ninetales (the only significant downgrade). It also doesn't help that the leveling curve in Let's Go is a LOT more forgiving than the shear brutality of Yellow. Honestly as someone who doesn't even find the Champion Rival fight in Red/Blue that hard these days (heck, even Cynthia is only a mild challenge for me at this point. Haven't fought Mustard but only because Pokemon kinda half-ended at Gen 7 for me anyway) I really couldn't tell that much of a difference in difficulty, partially because I generally end up with level parity with him anyway.

I mean, its kinda the point of the fierce deity mask to make the boss a joke, its your reward for completing the game 100%

[@megabolt5898]

CDI Ganon isn't remembered for his "final boss status". He's remembered for his memeability, shit post status and, his "KZbin Poop".

[@Meretrix2]

I like how majora’s mask is one of the hardest zelda bosses out there until you put on the fierce deity mask 😭

"Pokemon is not known for its difficulty..." And Trace just KO'd 1/3 of your team. Seriously, you aren't selling it. XD

"Recent Pokemon games aren't exactly known for their difficulty." I have 4 words for you: Giratina! Strike them down!

If a boss fight requires you to use a specific strategy that you likely had to look up online to defeat it easily, clearly it’s not as pathetic as you make it out to be.

[@lorenzobarletta7760]

The final boss of New Super Mario Bros DS is just Bowser with Bowser Jr, literally insta win if you have a giga mushroom.

I honestly love how you can cheese Ultra Necrozma with Zorua or Zoroark, but it just goes to show how can fighting that light beast unprepared can become a threat to a run if you choose to fight it normally

You did Ultra Necrozma dirty. The intro was pretty cool and the fight is pretty difficult for most players

The Let’s go boss was no dominance. Your Pikachu couldn’t one shot anyone, got K.O’d and you needed to use Mega Gyarados. Not exactly a great performance. You should have one shot everyone easily.

10:19 ITS NOT PATHETIC! HE LEFT YOU WITH A VERY LOW LIFE

[@gurvmlk]

"I knew it! Battling with you is the most fun." That they made the rival of a Red/Blue remake say that when you defeat him at the end pretty much sums up everything wrong with modern rivals in Pokemon games. I'm not saying they need to be total dicks. But they've become so passive and joyful about failure, that I find it hard to even take them seriously as rivals anymore from an immersion standpoint.

[@innertuber4049]

Paulo from Pokémon Masters Ex is actually a fun blend of the old and new. He works with the MC to fight the bad guys, but he's still got a toxic longing for power that legitimately pulls him towards dark paths.

[@gurvmlk]

@@innertuber4049 I'm more surprised to learn that game even has any form of a plot. For me though, Nemona has done the "too friendly of a rival" best. But that's because she's already a champion, so isn't trying to be better than the main character. She's trying to nurture them into a worthy opponent for herself, giving her no reason to act competitively throughout the journey. In my opinion, that subtle change in the dynamic made the friendly rival angle work a lot better.

[@bulbaa2241]

I personally think the new style of rivals which honestly aren't that new with silver being the most recent not friendly rival better as it shows the mc actually has friends that are equal to them compared to hey we found this random guy stealing a pokemon go fight him the whole game

[@gurvmlk]

@@bulbaa2241 There's nothing wrong with the rival being a friend. But the whole point of rivalry is to push each other to new heights by striving to be better than the other. Which the newer games have been starting to completely forget, like they think a competitive attitude can't be portrayed without being abrasive. May/Brendan accomplished that balance quite well. Being the main character's friend from the start, but also hating to lose, and always doing their best to become better, thereby pushing the player to do the same. But then you have "rivals" like Hau, who gives so little crap, he completely fails as a rival by providing no motivation to the player to care themselves about growing stronger.

[@garrysucks4190]

I honestly want to see a rival so inconceivably unhinged that they'd be willing to get their pokemons back into their balls and force you to do the same for the sake of literally throwing hands. In the middle of a televised tournament. As in, your trainer and your rival trainer literally gets fighter-style moves to fight each other with.

[@Veryunpoggers]

2:42 the only reason that one is easy is if you exploit a bug by using zora, otherwise the boss is as strong as eternitus withs it's 720 stat spread and its +1 to all stats it gets at the start of the fight, it is disgustingly hard, if you don't cheese the boss

[@beckhampang191]

Yea... its not pathetically easy. Youre literally just cheesing it. Same with using toxic stall.
