For people who like Cynthia... Show yourself and like the video! Also What's your team to beat Champion Cynthia?

[@shinji136]

First time: Torterra Lv. 61 Garchomp Lv. 59 Togekiss Lv. 57 Gastrodon Lv. 58 Weavile Lv. 59 Lucario Lv. 58

[@dragirby]

My first try all be those years ago. I had no idea how to play. Infernape was my only pokemon above 60. Starrsptor, Gyarados, Lucario, Weavile. And for some reason my stupid child mind decided to bring a level 47 gastrodon.

[@jurachuu]

Mine was simple: Electivire Lvl. 60 Kingdra Lvl. 58 Cherrim Lvl. 59 Infernape Lvl. 60 Drapion Lvl. 61 Alakazam Lvl. 59 Cynthia's Garchomp gave me the HARDEST TIME OF MY LIFE. XD

[@edgargaebolg9307]

[@Iris_Descent]

That is why you should switch out.

[@themurderedpotato8699]

[@wadeconroy3467]

@HeroAlmighty yes, I was defeated, unfortunately, I used decidueye, she used milotic, defeated it, but on low health, took out mega lucario, defeated decidueye, so I took out incineroar to use earthquake, it was faster so it used close combat, one shot, fainted incineroar, on my last pokémon, I took out primarina it used close combat again, she survived on low health so I used moonblast, one shot, she was only down to one pokémon, it was spiritomb, I knew its only weakness, fairy, so I was going to use moonblast again, but it used shadow sneak, a priority move, primarina fainted, she won and I lost, unfortunately.

[@2KXMKR]

I had never seen a Garchomp before fighting her. My reaction to seeing it's sprite for the very first time was a simple "Ohhh....... no" I knew it was all over.

[@kshitijchaudhary1074]

I remeber i was messing around and i found a gible. When youre 7 you have no idea what a gible is, so i caught it and when it evolved into garchomp i was so happy, then cynthia ruined it by having one too

[@NotRockstarGames]

You know I felt the exact same

[@2KXMKR]

Kshitij Chaudhary I was exactly the same with Milotic. The crap you have to go through to get one in Platinum is torture, so mine was so special to me and it was the wall of my team. Of course, Cynthia had one...

[@jessicar.3600]

Well, at least GTS was available at the time. If you weren't too picky about getting one yourself there was the possibility of getting it trough trading. Unfortunately, GBA games didn't have that possibility.

[@WhatInTheHellO]

yup, once garchomp appears you know you're fucked beyond repair. good times

[@thomasink5264]

Yay Thank You!

[@rowletbirb4127]

I'm gonna be sad if and when the DPPt remakes come around and her team is inevitably dumbed down. She's the one champion I STILL have issues with in every game she appears in and that's sort of how she's remembered to me, just being stupidly hard. Take that away and she's still my absolute favorite champion, but I think the lack of difficulty would make Cynthia lose some of her charm.

[@equicness7079]

You think you have it bad? Giovanni was a badass character to me as a kid, and his Let's Go team is a joke. I swept the whole thing with my Hitmonlee. I was really disappointed. BTW, I tried not to be over-leveled but you can't turn the EXP.ALL off so it just sort of happened.

[@MugdhaMahdiShams]

@@equicness7079 Let's Go is still not your typical mainline game. They probably decided to make it like that to appeal to new fans who mostly got introduced due to Pokémon Go. Hopefully, a DP remake will stay true to the source.

[@spikemoody1757]

RealRenn yeah you can’t really complain about a character from let’s go being easy lol

[@equicness7079]

@@spikemoody1757 To be fair, Red was at least a decent challenge. I don't get why they couldn't give Giovanni the same honour. I was curious to see what they would replace his Espeon with and Machamp was a good choice in my opinion.

[@kakyiondonut6084]

It will be even easier then.

[@KingMasq]

I just realized that if we do eventually get Sinnoh remakes there'll be a high chance that Cynthia will be mega evolving her Garchomp ... shit

[@elcroccante3112]

But Mega Garchomp is technically weaker than its base form.

[@KingMasq]

+NotMeth Well now I look stupid

[@Hamada-uy8uy]

A BST of 700 is clearly better than 600. Even if the distribution's a bit off, a Mega Psuedo will destroy anyone who isn't prepared. That also goes for Tyranitar, Salamence, and Metagross.

[@elcroccante3112]

Mohammad Afani Not... Really. The speed nerf on Mega Chomp hurts, it really hurts. Many Pokémon who can learn Ice Beam are generally not fast enough to kill normal Chomp, but they will wreck it's Mega. Not to mention, you lose Rough Skin when you Mega Evolve.

[@Hamada-uy8uy]

You lose Rough Skin for Tough Claws. In my opinion, it's worth it.

[@justanotherguy7984]

Hey, Pokeli, I was just wondering something about this track of yours! Basically I do something called OtoMADs which involved audio and video editing to cover a song.
