Pokémon Sun & Moon - Professor Kukui Battle (HQ)

Today I decided to share with you the Battle against Professor Kukui with the best quality possible you could find!
Other video will come! Enjoy!
Important note : I'll play the game as "Pokeli" but I choose the character (models, eyes, hat, skin, clothes, etc, etc...) as Sun and I have chosen this character because this is what he represents if there is no personalization.
Also because of the picture of each music that I post on my second channel I do not plan to change clothes in the game. Thank you for understanding!
------------------------------
I do not plan to change clothes in the game.
I just want to remain anonymous. Perhaps, one day, I plan to introduce myself , it's possible, but for now I do not feel ready.

I actually wanted this theme ONLY for Kukui. As for the title defense, the theme is whatever they are in the story. ex. Hapu = Kahuna theme Faba = Aether Foundation theme Plumeria and Gladion = Team Skull theme, etc...

[@Drokash]

During his intro Kukui takes off his glasses, then when he sends out his first pokemon his glasses have completely vanished and in his hand is a pokeball. Then, when Lycanroc pops out of the Pokeball, Kukui's glasses are suddenly back on. It took Kukui 2 seconds (1:10 to 1:12) to magically obtain his glasses again (he was empty handed as soon as he tosses his pokeball and his glasses weren't anywhere to be seen) and put them back on. Either Kukui's a wizard or he's got the reflexes of Sonic the Hedgehog.

[@Kyumifun]

He's got the moves 👀

[@boianko]

He's a moves specialist and wrestler. I wouldn't be surprised if he has some mad reflex and sleight of hand skills too.

Kukui IS hard unless you're really prepared. I mean, I beat him, but he has been the champion that I felt was the most challenging of them all. I use de Set option, that makes him way more hard than he should be.

Ozmar Basilio Well, half my team is weak to fire and fighting type moves( I know incineroar isn't fire/fighting, but it knows cross chop).

[@lilchunnky78]

Competitive Chespin damn

[@nintendolife25]

Unfortunately, it makes him a huge target for Hydro Pump and Focus Miss-....I mean, Blast.

[@gemcarry6072]

Yeah, I prefer Midday Form. It's attack is so high, with its speed only 3 points behind. I haven't made a Lycanroc Midday set yet, but I'm thinking either Max Attack Choice Band Accelerock or Max Attack Choice Scarf with Rock Slide, Crunch, Fire Fang, and Thunder Fang. I used a Midday Lycanroc in my playthrough, and I gave it a Hard Stone, which ups Rock moves, and Accelerock was out there 1 shotting Gyarados' after an Intimidate drop. So many good mons in 7th Gen. I'll have to see how bad the speeds are later, cause half of the team I chose for my playthrough were fast motherfuckers (Lycanroc, Ribombee, Salazzle). And I'm more afraid of Will-O-Wisp, because I've missed that 4 times in a row without any evasion or accuracy changes.

[@Silver-nv4sr]

Competitive Chespin One time in the battle with him before I accidentally restarted and had to beat him again my starter avoided the attack. Or she either avoided stone edge I don't remember.

I mean--technically speaking: I guess you can call him the Champion. He was the admin of this whole construction and formed the Elite Four. He also says he can't become champion, unless he beats him.

[@Flamelance_Accendo]

Aliyaan Kazi He wasn't aiming to take the Championship title from him (yet), it was more like he was testing him.

[@jamesrose-wilson8919]

DragonOver Cannon He says he cant become the champion until he beats him because that basically means that if you lose you lose the title straight away, which doesnt really count as becoming the champion.

[@Th3Gam1ngCh4nnel]

I couldn't beat him the first time because I forgot to stock up on potions and revives before battling the elite four.

[@jessicadarmento3381]

This was my first ever pokemon game, after knowing the anime long before playing the games, and remembering this theme gives me a lot of memory of the game, and how God damn hard this fight was. the thing is, this theme sounds a lot like a tribute of sort. A tribute the entirety of an end to all handheld pokemon games. Yeah, we have the switch but its technically a console. The theme sounds like a tribute to all pokemon games in the mainseries, of which being on handheld devices, dating back to pokemon red and blue. It feels like a tribute to each and every game in the past knowing this was the last handheld game on the mainseries line.

[@ROSUJACOB]

Love you jesse and James always our wife's.

[@blurgalsklech2929]

I wouldn’t say it’s a tribute to the handheld but to the series and how far it has come. Remember these games came right off the storm that was Pokemon Go only a few months before.

Wow! Prof. Kukui is so strong!!!

[@lanakarassi3504]

Chester Vince Alcolea lol he is the champion wtf

[@soumilbiswas1841]

Lana Karassi A common misconception, Kukui is not the champion, you are. You have to defend your title from him in the last battle. Just imagine yourself in Blue's place in the original games. You beat the elite 4, claim the champion's title, and then Red comes to steal your title.

[@fia2252]

I had to struggle beating kukui with only an incineroar because the rest of my pokemon fainted while i was fighting the elite four and i didn't have anymore revives or anything like that. It took me around 2-3 hours,because i had to come up with a strategy. My incineroar got beat up by his primarinas z move too. It sucked but it was worth it because i became the first champ of Alola B)

[@jandreplayz9833]

Thats why after a certain point of the game, you earn 1000000 "Pokedollars" i bought 99 revived and 99 max restores... °_° Edit:No spoilers intended.

[@thamesramz]

I just notice something about Kukui's team. I think the Pokemon he have have something to do with his relationship with some characters in the game that I think that he has some close and personal connection with The starter Pokemon he chose is strong against the Player's starter He has the midday form of Lycanroc while Olivia has the midnight form His Snorlax is weak against Hala's Fighting type. Snorlax also kinda reminds me of Hala as well His Braviary is considered to be the counterpart of Mandibuzz which Kahili owns (since Kukui invited her to be a member of the Elite 4 means that he probably know her personally) He owns a Magnezone just like Molayne in the Title Defense Battle. I think this refers to how close of friends he and Molayne are since Sophocles also owns one as well. His Ninetales is either to oppose Nanu's Dark Types or the fact that the Alolan Ninetales kinda reminds me of Professor Burnet a bit

[@OnyxOfTheEarth]

I think I can honestly say this is bar none the best pokemon battle in the entire series. Now YOU are the champion who has to defend their recently acquired title, and the music? My god, the music...there are no words to describe who beautifully epic this song really is, and it's YOUR Champion theme! Not to mention you're going up against the man who welcomed you to Alola with open arms, helped you in receiving your starter pokemon which kickstarted your journey, and the same man who had just founded Alola's very own Pokemon League. Good god, this is just too much. How will Nintendo/Game Freak be able to top something like this in the next game?

Tips for people that are having trouble with this fight: 1. Make sure you level up your Pokemon to level 60 2. Buy Full Restores and Revives 3. Teach your Pokemon powerful moves and try to use status conditions 4. Kukui can sometimes switch into a Pokemon that is strong against yours so becareful

What really got me was his Incineroar, Snorlax and Magnezone.

[@Silver-nv4sr]

DrawnToast Same happened to me the e4 used up all my revives so I only had 2 max revives and my pokémon were severely underleved and his grass starter and snorlax were a pain in the butt, and the stealth rock triggered me, but I managed to beat him after a few tries.

he got me with his decidueye cuz my only fire type was salandit but he didnt evolve and he was at level 62 i think do i need a stone or what cuz the same thing happened to my pikachu but when i gave it a stone it evolved to raichu and my machoke beat the shit out of his snorlax but he used full heal

[@picklelord2048]

Jedi Kitten ya the magnezone was easy i used tsareenee to kill him i think

I was so angry when I won the elite 4 with no potion no revive left and has raichu with 20 Hp left. I was so relif and then this

[@Stan99]

That music is absolutely brilliant

[@doctordreamcast2093]

Back when the game first came out this blew me away, so much power in the musics composition and how everything looked

[@vodaz9109]

I also had to waste Primarina's Z-Move on Magnezone.

[@guada09100]

Dark Toirtlez lol if I had to use it on his final Pokemon it would fit so well due to the bow at the end

[@alphysthedinosaur9627]

If you pick Decidueye will Kukui have Incineroar???

[@froakie1404]

Alphys The Dinosaur yes

[@henryharmon5151]

Yeah. I had Decidueye. BE WARNED. HIS INCINEROAR IS DANGEROUS.

[@glennparadela4266]

Alphys The Dinosaur depends on the weaknesses on your starter.

[@xXfuffychickenXxreddivineaj]

+ThatAngryBull Easy, I used Scald with Wishiwashi and boom badabing badaboom, he's dead.

[@henryharmon5151]

melonrinka I don't care about your bragging about how you defeated it. My only Water type was an underleveled Slowbro.

[@branflakes325]

This guy leads with stealth rock lycanroc. uhoh...they're learning :o

[@AmariSuper]

Kukui in the anime:Not that strong Kukui in the games: *I'm about to end this man's career*

[@HarshRaj-yg8zo]

Well he was crazingly strong in anime too

[@GlacierStripez]

Professor Kukui is hot.

[@futureartist9]

mix i love ur videossss

[@DDS-NET]

this battle was harder than all of the X and Y games

[@Roosterrock]

I tried to avoid spoilers for who the champion was, I'm glad I did, that really surprised me on my first playthrough, and that music is freaking awesome

[@TheBoomkrach]

Kukui's Incineroar was annoying for me. Cross Chop, Darkest Lariat ,Flare Blitz and Outrage is what I call insane Coverage.

[@JRockJhes2013]

TheBoomkrach lol, my first reaction upon seeing his incineroar use outrage was "THAT STARTER COULD LEARN OUTRAGE!?!?"

[@TheBoomkrach]

jhesmond bautista Crazy Cat, I Tell you.

[@the7thapocalypse948]

TheBoomkrach *Cool Cat

[@dhamotl7607]

Full restore no Snorlax kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Eu morri de rir nessa parte mano mds kkk O cara já tá todo cagado(o player) e o Kukui ainda dá Full Restore haushauehaueha

[@anonimo2492]

Kkkkk

[@emperorpat2725]

It's enough to make a grown man cry

[@Victini415]

Hell of an ending there.

[@xflame7556]

4:29 NINETALES? NO, NINE-HAX IS RIGHT!!

[@metal1diamond446]

Its the alola form

[@henryharmon5151]

It's Alolan Ninetales

[@Matsuna13]

That is the Alolan Ninetails.

[@Justsketchit]

What are you even saying?

[@BlazeFlipnotes]

think he means he got haxed a lot by it lol, i got haxed too frozen twice

[@evanatorextreme1065]

First Reaction:WHAT?! KUKUI?! YOUR THE CHAMPION?! YOU'VE BEEN THE CHAMPION THIS WHOLE TIME AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?! YOU COULDN'T HELP ME TAKE DOWN GUZMA AND LUSAMINE?! OR CATCH SOLGALEO IN A SINGLE ULTRA BALL?!?!?! ALRIGHT! I'M MAD! I'M TAKING YOU DOWN! RIGHT HERE,AND RIGHT NOW! And I end up losing the first time,then reset the game cause I saved before hand! AND THEN I TRIUMPHED AND BECAME ALOLA'S FIRST CHAMPION!!! IRL Time:3 Days In Game Time:About 20 Hours Losses:5 Totem Lurantis:1 Hau Battle (Ula Ula Island):2 Totem Mimikyu:3 Acerola:4 Kukui:5 Resets:2 Totem Mimikyu:1 Kukui:1

[@riocheng0205]

Super Skarmory reference?

[@Official5Joey5Brooks]

Evanator Extreme it took me like 50 hours to beat it in game time cause I overtrained but I haven't lost a battle yet

[@JuanmaGun]

Noob

[@edotendo2196]

He is not a champion.... because Alola recently build and open Pokémon League so there is no current champion and he is here to fight you to test are you eligible to being a champion or not.. so if you win you become the first Champion in Alolan league

[@JGuy97]

You are the first person I have ever heard of who has lost to Hau.

[@Oldcheetohs]

"Aren't you cold?"

[@OCF-OperationColdFire]

Alola is really good. In terms of theme , a unique culture and most importantly, kukui

[@keenankulpanapat886]

I wish all battles were hard like this in sun and moon so many people sweep all the teams

[@toooydoeur]

Keenan The Kat cause it's so easy

[@Mario7746]

It's because people use the Exp Share, play with the Switch battle mode and use the legendary mascot. That's, like, baby difficulty.

[@keenankulpanapat886]

AquaJetEmpoleon I wish I could hack into the game and break it so everyone could cry

[@palladion3792]

Keenan The Kat e4 is so easy when you come prepared lol

[@JGuy97]

+Tepig Even with the exp share, this game's Elite Four still put up a good fight. All the exp share really does is cut down on time spent grinding. Being forced to grind exp doesn't make a game more difficult, just tedious.

[@abzoluterennix477]

why does no one pick litten i mean cmon HE IS STRAIGHT LIT ON FIRE

[@mateot6020]

Xerxes Burn Because of Incineroar, I like Litten and I love Torracat but Incineroar looks like Tony the Tiger

[@sparklyaugust]

Xerxes Burn I picked litten. BIG MISTAKE! I got a freakin wrestler that was on steroids.

[@Buitronthecrazy]

Xerxes Burn because people is sick of the bipedal, fighting theme fire starter.

[@abzoluterennix477]

its always fire fighting now it is fire dark and sure its a wrestler but the only other wrestler kind of pokemon is hariyama so i dont know why people keep hating cause i picked a litten and man what power that thing is incenroar is good

[@Buitronthecrazy]

Xerxes Burn still is a "fighter", regardless of the actual type and people is sick of it.

[@chaudspieler]

One of the most epic battles in Pokemon especially we realize that THIS IS OUR THEME!!!!! Pokemon Moon is one of my favorite Pokemon games actually!

[@mojojobo4180]

They should of made it where if you lose to Kukui, he becomes champion and you have to fight him to get that title back. Same with others who come to challenge you for your title.

[@UserName-bs8eu]

Why do his pokemon keep surviving with 1 HP? Da fuq is dis?

[@DonkTroubl53]

love with trainer

[@UserName-bs8eu]

HayruuGames and that cannot happen to NPCs? Way to make the game easy....

[@DonkTroubl53]

Do not know

[@soumilbiswas1841]

HayruuGames I think that feature was introduced since XY or ORAS.

[@DonkTroubl53]

Well, in XY I even had this feature of affection for the trainer, but the Pokémon could not handle until 1 of life, maybe this comes from the ORAS

[@jamesrose-wilson8919]

Is it me or does Primarina dab at 10:57?

[@nathanh.9027]

*sigh*

[@asrieldinero2041]

James Rose-Wilson he was bowing

[@thepickeypenguin7098]

James Rose-Wilson dabbers need to go away >~>

[@asrieldinero2041]

Ticchiqganes im on your side

[@hypersaiyan7102]

My team: - Pikachu - Incineroar - Greninja/Ash-Greninja - Roserade - Milotic - Gengar

[@LukeThunderShield]

I like what they did in this new Pokémon league we get different challenges after beating the elite 4 it's actually better than taking on one champion every time

[@suicidalafricanbaboon5073]

fangirled so hard at kukui. he's so hot!!!

[@captaintreeko3188]

I'm on Victory Road with my pokemon all between 45 and 48. WISH ME LUCK XD

[@Julian0505z]

I was there with Pokemon between level 50 and 60 I beat them with little effort: I basically fled from no battles though so I was over leveled

[@marshoul2717]

I'd recommend at least level 49... my lowest level was 49, highest level was 53.

[@captaintreeko3188]

i managed to beat all the elite four without a problem, which boosted all my levels to 48/49, and it took 3 tries on the champion but i beat him with all my pokemon 50 and under XD

[@marshoul2717]

NOICE!

[@captaintreeko3188]

lol thanks man my friends were like amazed cuz they were actually higher leveled than kukui XD

[@theheckwithit]

I think sun and moon were my fav modern games so far. This battle theme makes me get misty for some reason, makes me feel like a kid again.

[@koujugo]

I love how all your pokemon love you! They always tough it out, especially that Lycanroc!

[@jomex1873]

4:32 determination 😱😱😱😱😱😱UNDERTALE

[@senorjecansu1093]

Jomex 1 no

[@randommonkeydude]

Jomex 1 Just no please no

[@Mixeddude317]

The word determination doesn't always mean Undertale, like damn.

[@carmamelasfuck6301]

Jomex 1 Fuck off with your Undertale. Seriously kid this is POKEMON. What is 'Determination' the definition of Undertale now? I fucking hate this cancerous fan base like fucking God. None can say the 1 word 'determination' without a fucking kid screaming UNDERTALE at you with all his spit flying at Ya.

[@senorjecansu1093]

Carmamel As fuck You too need to calm down

[@justiceleague1643]

Do u guys remember in the beginning of the games when Kukui says "My body is ready" I do ^-^

[@latoyamilburn27]

I'm still surprised that lab is still perfectly organized.. Kukui is a god confirmed o-o

[@fraydizs7302]

Your Lycanroc quite literally saved your entire match lol withstanding killing blows THREE TIMES in a row is literally unheard of...

[@mattwells3390]

this was probably the toughest elite 4 besides the sinnoh elite 4 and cynthia. i fought kukui with level 75+ pokemon cuz i lost so many times to him. still, i love this game and i continue to reset my progress and play it with a completely different team.
