5th Gen That final battle with Ghetsis

[Arma]

Braviary with Super Power took out his Hydreigon with ease, but my biggest concern was that annoying Sigilyph.
It forced me to use a few revives.

 

[Captain Fabio]

If I am honest, I didn't really have a problem taking him out; of course, his Hydreigon was the toughest, but other than that, I didn't have a problem.

Most likely because most of my Pokemon were high 60's or low 70's, so I could get the speed edge on them.​

​

 

[chimcharsfireworks]

YES. I hated that thing. I tried everything, from like 60 dragon claws to surfs and brick breaks and it just kept killing me! I had to use Reshiram!

 

[Kenshin5]

I intially had trouble with Hydreigon, then I realized my Braviary was pretty beastly and took it out with two Crush Claws.

 

[Amore]

The only reason I struggled was because I had Reshiram out in front (yes, I deliberately only had five pokémon pre-E4 in order to have an epic battle with Reshiram and N's Zekrom blasting the crap out of eachother with their signature moves). This led me to losing all but Reshiram, when I instantly switched him out. However, with a bit of Ice Beam and luck, I got there in the end.

 

[Omnomosauras]

Sure did. Definitely the hardest battle i have ever done

 

[yaya0]

Leech Seed stall with Serperior. :):):)

 

[royalty118]

It was kind of hard because I was mentally drained from versing N. I found it cool how all my pokemon randomly healed.

 

[The Nightmare]

Hydreigon was annoying to fight it nearly kill all my Teamates with dragon pulse but I defeated it with my Scolipede because dark hates bug.

 

[SquirtleGirl]

I got extremely lucky against his Hydreigon to be honest xD My initial strategy was to send out my Druddigon and hope I got lucky with Dragon Claw while holding a Quick Claw. Needless to say, this FAILED [I am so bad at strategies xD] So I send out Serperior and for some reason that I still cannot fathom I use Leech Seed against it in a desperate attempt to sap its HP a little. He knocks out Serperior in a few moves and I send out Krookodile.

Krookodile uses Brick Break and Hydreigon survives by about 1 HP. Now I'm thinking "Oh great, Ghetsis is gonna heal Hydreigon now and all my work will be for nothing" and then...LEECH SEED saps him down into a knockout! :D

One of the proudest accidental wins of my Pokémon career xD

His Bouffalont went up against my Krookodile.. I used Brick-Break and it got about 2/3 of its health down xD then it used Head Charge and Rocky Helmet + Recoil Damage = Death to Bouffalant xD

 

[GreenBeece]

The battle with Ghetsis was much easier than what I expected. Only Pokémon I had trouble with was Hydreigon.

 

[dieter57]

Ghetsiswas impossible for me.
then i gave up, went to victory road, got a Deino, trained it up to 64, then i used MY Hydregion!
what now ghetsis?!

 

[レイジングブラスト]

If you have a Scrafty or Mienshao like I did the first time I beat him then Hydregion isn't a problem(I had Moxie Scrafty on my team). The thing that gave me the most trouble was Eelektross.

 

[BringYourOwnKites]

That Hydreigon was a pain. But all in all, I saved Unova on my first try.

 

[Nikorasu]

Ghetsis' Hydreigon

Is it just me or is his Hydreigon extremely overpowered?
I flew through all his previous Pokemon, with only one of them even getting damage, but then he released this god of a beast which one hit every one of my Pokemon O_O

Oh and by the way, my Pokemon have attacks which are super-effective against him, but with his fast speed and high hitting attacks he just destroyed me :/

Has anybody else had difficulty, or even have any advice?

 

[TheGoddessOfDiscord]

I had a Choice Scarfed Haxorus. Quite easy win.

 

[Gothitelle.]

I beat it with Gothitelle. My Gothie know's Brick Break so I pawnd that Hydreigon easily.

Hydreigon plays on everyone's weaknesses. It can take out Fire with water and kill ice with fire and focus Blast.

I suggest a Psychic or ghost Pokemon since it has no dark moves. Or a Bug type.

Merged with the thread that covers his Hydreigon - which surprisingly wasn't a challenge for me. :(

I have a level 64 Reuniclus...

Merged with the thread that covers his Hydreigon - which surprisingly wasn't a challenge for me. :(

I just typed in a 15 minute paragraph with about 10 counters to Hydreigon, and it just got deleted since the thread merging while I was typing >.>

I will edit this later with the appropreite counters to Hydreigon since I just lost my patience.

EDIT: Despite Hydreigon's perfect Coverage, it can be easily worked around with the proper Pokemon, let's name a few!

Spoiler:

Reuniclus: This Pokemon can take at least one move from Hydreigon and kill it with Focus Blast, it can also Thunder Wave it or Light Screen if you disapprove of Focus Blast's accuracy.

Jellicent/Eviolite Frillish: With Cursed Body, this Pokemon can Recover/Potion stall the Hydreigon until the Curse Body "disables" Dragon Pulse, which is the only move that hit's your squishy wall neutrally, since Fire Blast and Surf are resisted and Focus Blast doesn't effect it. Then you can Toxic Stall it.

Beartic: This Pokemon can take one Fire Blast, or take the risk of avoiding a Fire Blast and hit it with a STAB Ice Move.

Meinshao: As a Meinshao, this thing can outspeed and Hi Jump Kick.

Scrafty: Scrafty is rather Bulky, so it can take a Dragon Pulse then kill it with High Jump Kick.

Conkledurr: Same as Scrafty, though with Hammer Arm

Accelgor: Can pick off Hydreigon with Focus Blast at Yellow HP.

Coffigrigus: Can survive a Dragon Pulse then it can Toxic

Whimsicott: It can "Prankster" Stun Spore or Toxic on to Hydreigon

Cobalion: Works well with the Jellicent strategy, though instead of stalling Dragon Pulse, use Cobalion as bait for a Fire Blast to disable it, if it doesn't work, switch to Cobalion to resist the Dragon Pulse and repeat. If it does work, switch to Cobalion and set up a Work Up / Swords Dance and blast it with a Sacred Sword.
