[@mcmew3427]

I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this battle, this music, and this character. Right off the bat you KNEW he was no ordinary old man--he immediately knew your presence at the dojo was an accident, meaning he was sharp as a nail and knew what went on around his island. Then you get to see his super-fast-trained Slowpoke, hinting he's no slouch. You learn that he's specifically raised his pokemon to Gmax, which takes incredible skill. He knew your rival was a cheater (though that probably wasn't hard to miss). He actively PRETENDS to be a forgetful old man just to get you to figure out how to Gmax you Urshifu...this guy rocks. The way you get to know him progressively is very well done, I loved every minute of it.

[@katonnor]

I loved his character especially since when i went to go tell him i became friends with kubfu i saw him sat infront of a TV holding joycons. I love the animation of him throwing off his hat and that he only does it when he is battling seriously.

This old guy is amazing for what he did prior to the game. 1) He held the title of Pokémon Champion for 18 years straight before the game began without losing, only really losing his grip on victory *after* he lost his first Pokémon due to its death. This was during his prime time. Not even Leon beat this guy's winning streak as a reigning Champion. 2) He refused to partake in a battle offered by the previous Chairman who wanted to 'help' Mustard recover from his losing streak after his first Pokémon he got died. Said battle was rigged to allow Mustard to win. This guy has standards that stand out, he refuses to take dirty and cheap methods to win just like Piers (who I also greatly respect). 3) He claimed his seat as Galar's Champion by defeating the previous Champion who was a Fairy-Type user while he was a Fighting-Type Gym Leader. Yes he did this while at a Type Disadvantage and before Dynamaxing/Gigantimaxing became a thing (happened when Rose took the role of Chairman). Mustard's first battle isn't too hard if you're using your Champion Team. His second was dependent on your Kubfu's level and moves, (and stats) since it's just a Kubfu vs. Kubfu battle. His final battle's difficulty depends on who you bring to the playing field. I probably took the 'easier' path even though it was tedious at Lvl 75, and used Togekiss, Jolteon and Vaporeon to provide Attack, Defense, Evasion and Speed buffs to my own Single Strike Urshifu via Baton Pass before spamming Wicked Blow on five of his Pokémon before using G-Max One Blow to well, one-shot his own Gigantimax Rapid Strike Urshifu. Only found it scary when I used Baton Pass via Jolteon and Urishifu narrowly avoided a Play Rough to the face. Willing to take ideas on who to use for battles against him since I didn't save my place after beating him as I disabled auto-save for worthy battles.

it’s fights like these that make me appreciate the 3D era. As much as I love the originals.. Dynamax battles are epic. 2 giant Pokemon with increased HP using blasts as attacks. And if this weren’t 3D, Mustard wouldn’t have been able to take off his jacket and do his front flips. That alone let me know I wasn’t gonna win easily.

[@Squishito]

Easily one of the best Champion encounters in the entire franchise. The whole fight felt like a slugfest and it culminated with my urshifu against his. Super hype

[@cowfin06]

I love this DLC so much, not only does it give Gmax curry and the clean slate thing, but it really pointed out the idea of growing up with your Pokémon. I felt so happy when they just give us this underleveled pokemon and they're like "Raise it and become friends" like that little bear is my new bestie now

I would guess because of their themes like for example mustard is the master of a dojo. So he is badass because in the setting being older means more experienced and stronger than the others there

Mustard's name, while seemingly insignificant is actually kind of a cool name considering Pokémon's history. Mustard is a type of tree, which is similar to the naming convention of the professors throughout the series, but also, mustard is a color, similar to the names of the original protagonist and rival of gen 1. Kind of a cool double reference there.

[@rodoshehossain7400]

After listening this theme, it became so addicting! Leon's still one of my favorite characters, but when it comes to battle theme, I prefer Mustard's. This theme feels so suspenseful, serious and unexpected. Like when you have a battle with Mustard for the third time, that's when he reveals his true strength! It'll be nice to know Mustard's backstory though. Like why did his partner Pokémon died? Is it possible that his partner Pokémon could be an Urshifu? Perhaps Mustard used to own two different forms, until one of them died.

[@GxRiku]

well not all pokemon live as long as humans. Some die rather quick (comparable to real live counterparts, rodents just dont have a long livespan) so it maybe just died of old age since he was a champ for 18 years it might be possible

[@lyleschlegel3515]

One of my favorite story things in Pokémon is when you have to battle a trainer using another/opposing legendary. USUM did this with Rainbow Rocket admins having mascot legends. But this steps it up a notch, it’s like an unspoken rule you need to make your urshifu battle each other, and seeing them both gigantamax and stand opposing each other is insanely epic. Here’s hoping for more awesomeness in the Crown Tundra
