5th Gen Which Rival is more challenging?

[Roughsponge]

Probably N, although sometimes he was easy. Bianca was a little difficult with her Stoutland and Musharna, but I always found Cheren a bit of a push over.

 

[Eurydice]

i think N would have to be the toughest. followed by cheren. the only part of bianca's team that was a challange was her stoutland and even that was somewhat easy to beat

 

[EJ]

Cheren was the only one that ever gave me trouble but nothing too bad.

The girl was the biggest pushover though haha

 

[fire woven]

Cheren all the way. I beat Bianca every time, N didn't ever give me too much trouble. Cheren was supposed to be the toughest though. Bianca, in my opinion, is there for the starter Pokemon dex enteries on the one weak to you.

How are people being even remotly challenged by Bianca, she was patheticc. Cheren I actually had to pull my event celebi on once, right after beating the fourth gym.

 

[Perriechu]

I actually have to say Bianca :( Although Cheren or Bianca never actually beat me, that Haderia/Stoutland gave me trouble >:( Take down/Return is just so beastly on it ;-;

 

[Ice Car]

N, Cheren, Bianca in that order.

 

[lawlercopter]

N by far. Cheren and Bianca never really gave me much trouble at all.

 

[FireWolf]

Cheren is strong .. Bianca is Not that good ..

N is the toughest , is you consider him as a rival ..

 

[Akihara]

I think N. He changes his team too often and it might be difficult to keep like. for example, in Chargestone cave a had a lot of trouble with his Ferroseed and Joltik, since I didn't have any fire type pokemon.

 

[bwburke94]

Cheren. I actually lost the first battle to him in Black (stupid crit hax) but beat him in White.

Also, lolz at the OP for calling N a rival. Anyway, I pwned him easily without even using any Fighting-type moves.

 

[fire woven]

N still wasn't ever a challenge. I rolled him every fight. My freind was telling me to be careful when fighting him the last time, and to let him win so I coul take Reshiram and go train on Victory Road, but he died without alot of effort. Biancas dog thing fell to one blow from my starter, which was probably Samurott by the time she gave people trouble, and the hit was just Surf.

 

[n64benowitz177]

I thought that N was the hardest, mostly for the fact that if I didn't get my Zweillous's dragon rush on his Reshiram(not sure on spelling) he would sweep me like he did the first time when I was unprepared.

 

[ChaosWave]

Choosing Oshawott, definetly Cheren with his ultra-annoying Serperior >.<

 

[Keizar]

To be honest i didn't think that the rivals was that hard, when I just made sure to use a good counter for what they had.

If i had to pick one i would say the last battle against N, would be the hardest, with the last one against Cheren coming in at second place.

The reason the seem somewhat easy to me, is that when i was playing Gold when it was just out, i didn't really know much about tactics and how to use this at your advantage, back then i was more a fan of pure power and just having a level advantage, and beating them even if my own pokemon was weak against my rival.
Which ofc resulted in some harder battles for me.

 

[Lowreh]

I have to go with Cheren here, purely because he always appears to battle at the most inappropriate times. Even with Reshiram N wasn't especially challenging.

 

[Dark Piplup]

I have to say N. He wasn't hard at all though some of his Pokemon were tough. Changing his team was annoying too.

 

[lamby101]

Out of Bianca and Cheren, Cheren by a mile, but that's not to say he was much of a challenge.

 

[Hikamaru]

I think Cheren is pretty hard in the first battle, especially if you choose Oshawott as his Snivy is fast.

 

[Shorty-]

I'll say none. I haven't had any problems with any at the point im at.

 

[Clark]

I didn't really have any trouble with the rivals. Cheren was probably the more difficult of the two; I pretty much swept Bianca's team effortlessly every time (which kind of made me feel bad for her). I don't consider N a "rival", but obviously his final battle was tougher than the rival battles.
