WHAT ARE THE HOENN BATTLE FRONTIER'S BEST POSSIBLE TEAMS!? Pokemon Games Evolution [TRUE POWER]

[@SilphSpectre]

HERE WE GOOOO! This was HIGHLY requested, and we're going to deliver: A special episode of True Power! It's time to discover what the Hoenn Battle Frontier trainers are REALLY capable of! This one in particular took *a lot* of work, so I'd really appreciate if you guys could drop a Like & Comment to boost the video's performance! NOTE: While Noland has befriended an Articuno in the anime, he never officially caught it, and therefore it can't count toward his best team.

[@manoftruth0935]

I would’ve given Lucy a Serperior and Steelix the Mega Stone. Greta Mega Medicham Spencer Mega Venusaur Tucker Mega Charizard Y

[@raimykoeiman6784]

Uhm you know that Noland has a legandary friend Articuno right? You know the one that Noland saves with his plane and healed treated Articuno's wing and that ash faces with Charizard in the anime?🤔

@@raimykoeiman6784 I'm aware, but he hasn't caught it unfortunately!

[@raimykoeiman6784]

For the Fontier King i think a legendary is abit overkill, i think using his mons in the anime can be very usefull I mean you can di alot with ninjask( like protect for extra speed for his/her speddboost ability and sand attack or double team can trow the player off) And let's be real, i think dusclops without eviolite can be bulky too (and in his end team (like in oras he can give him an eviolite) and give him an leftovers instead😁. And i don't now what you can do with an Solrock but i think a trainer like Brabdon can think of something. (In the anime ash had a hard time with brandon's team of Dusclops, Ninjask, Solrock and Regice). My opinion the strong team should be: Dusclops, Ninjask, and Moltres and the Regi trio😊 (bulk, speed and legendary😆)

I want to see Wally's best team! Fingers crossed that it's next!

[@JoeKell365]

Wally would probably use Roserade, Talonflame, Azumarill, Magnezone and Garchomp, all at level 79, and Gallade-M at level 81. i don't think Altaria or Delcatty (both maxed at level 64) would fill any slot on the team that isn't filled better by something else. Gardevoir is only used in Gen3 because Gallade and Mega Stones didn't exist at the time, so i don't see it making the team

[@jamesgarcia5995]

I wish Lucy would have had a Serperior and Arbok instead of a shuckle and snorlax just to keep the snake like theme

[@ianthompson3628]

Actually, I've heard shuckle is based on snake-wine-hence the fermentation and snake in a jar, and infatuation theme seen in the anime. Fermentation was translated to mold, and somewhere in the design process the alcohol and dead animal preservation elements were toned down and edited out until chuckle became a mysterious, impossible to identify nonsense animal. I bet added chuckle to the all snake team is kind of an internal shoutout to this older legacy.

[@MariWakocha]

I must confess I haven't been watching the Johto challenges as much as I thought I would (for which I am sorry), but I think it is due to me not having a very deep connection with those trainers. Leafgreen was my first game, and after that I got Sapphire and I didn't play gen 2 or 4 until a long time after that. The trainers from Hoenn might be the ones closest to my heart, so I'm insanely hyped to see them battle each other!

[@AHEM1313]

Vito Winstrate! He's far from the strongest here, but the more the merrier! And I wanna see the Winstrate family's boasts about their strongest member be put to the ultimate test! I don't think Brendan AND May will end up in the tournament, since the NPC teams are identical. They'd have different starters at the most. The four Battle Chatelaines also have a Battle Maison in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and including them would make for a nice, even 32 trainers ... but they're probably going to end up in the Kalos Tournament, instead. That'll be a tiny one, even with all four of them in it, because most of the trainers in Kalos don't have teams of six even if you give them their anime Pokemon.
