Which Rival is more challenging?
 
Tell me which rival you think is more challenging to beat. based on pokemon types,moves,levels. Cheren,Bianca, or N. and my internet is bugged so just tell your vote below

Pika-power March 6th, 2011 4:06 PM

I think N, because he has Reshiriam/Zerkrom.
Cheren comes in a close second.
Sorry, Bianca!

I've had a little trouble with Biancas Stoutland and other encounters by her so I'd say Bianca!

charlulz March 6th, 2011 4:54 PM

I am not too far in the game but I would say Cheren so far.

Derezzed March 6th, 2011 5:07 PM

Cheren, Bianca is not difficult whatsoever.

Barn March 6th, 2011 5:10 PM

I'm not that far, so Cheren. That Snivy...

adhdguitar March 6th, 2011 5:21 PM

I haven't noticed too much of a difference between Cheren and Bianca, maybe the former is a tad stronger. N of course is fairly weak.
Spoiler:
Until the end of the game that is, when he becomes very strong.

Volcom22 March 6th, 2011 5:27 PM

Since I've started M has been the only true challenge... Bianca is a joke each time you face her. Cheren is a tad challenging but isn't too hard to overcome.

BenjiTheKid March 6th, 2011 6:39 PM

Between Bianca and Cheren, I'd have to say the latter. Bianca has been rather easy to defeat thusfar. (Granted, I'm not far in the game, but nevertheless) Cheren has been easy, too... but the fact that he's made good use of hold items had made up for it.

As for N, he hasn't been too hard yet, either. So far, I find Cheren has been a tad harder to beat than N, too.

Cheren has been giving me a hard time lately, now I need to grind like crazy on Black.

0soniclordsonic0 March 7th, 2011 4:57 AM

eh, i think cheren is harder then anybody (like most here, i just got the game sunday), N only had one pokemon (laughin it up over his weakness), so far no one is overly hard for me

Zelda March 7th, 2011 5:00 AM

I haven't reached too far into the game yet, but as of now they are both at an equal level of difficulty. Both rival battles have been enjoyable (although easy) for me so far as well.

miakalina March 7th, 2011 7:12 AM

I think Cheren is harder for me to beat than Bianca. Bianca is kind of a push over.

Satoshi Ookami March 7th, 2011 7:17 AM

I guess Cheren. He's also epic, he can heal pokemon O_o
Belle was pretty weak... and N was epic but not so hard to beat and he did not get enough game time.

Nameless. March 7th, 2011 7:17 AM

To be honest, both of them are pretty difficult right now. xD;
I'm not really grinding much. I'm mostly just chilling out and traveling around.

So now when I battle them I tend to be behind in level and have a lot of trouble. ><;


Ho-Oh March 21st, 2011 6:40 AM

Bianca was. My Pokemon were mostly super effective against both N and Cheren, whereas Bianca, shockingly not :(

Hermione Granger March 21st, 2011 7:21 AM

I just reached the pokemon league, and up to that point Cheren been my toughest rival. Guess I'll see how powerful N became when I defeat the elite 4.

DayDreamer March 21st, 2011 7:24 AM

None of them were challenging until the last battle with N. I feel sorry for beating Bianca so easily T_T.

Pokemon Trainer Touko March 21st, 2011 7:26 AM

Tbh, all three of them were pretty easy. But if I have to pick one then it will be N.

Zeffy March 21st, 2011 7:30 AM

N has to be the toughest. I hate his Sigilyph in Nimbasa's rollercoaster.

Roughsponge March 21st, 2011 7:30 AM

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 March 21st, 2011 7:48 AM

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 March 21st, 2011 7:57 AM

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

The girl was the biggest pushover though haha

fire woven March 21st, 2011 8:25 AM

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 March 21st, 2011 8:27 AM

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 ;-;
