My Samurott had Blizzard and I had two Pokemon with Brick Break so it was okay. but his eel thingy was a killer :O

Iceshadow3317 March 13th, 2011 7:14 PM

It took me 3 times to beat him. His Hydreigon was also the only pokemon I had trouble with aswell. I it took out with Zekrom by luck.

I haven't even gotten to this fight yet. I'm dreading it though. Although a lot of people were saying they used Scrafty's High Jump Kick, and I have that, so I might be Ok.

SnowpointQuincy March 13th, 2011 9:01 PM

I swich into Sawsbuck and Hydragon uses Fire Blast -- resonable, it is a Dragon.

I switch into Darmanitan and Hydragon uses Surf. WTF!!! Took me completely by suprise.

Lucky my Musharna was able to take three hits before needing a heal.

That one pokemon took 6 of my Max Revives.

Some of his pokemon was difficult, but thanks to one Ice Beam from Vanilluxe his Hydregion was done. His Cofagrigus was a killer though, I had my Scrafty take care of him.

I managed to beat him first try, but I suppose the surprise of actually fighting him there and then didn't help my concentration xP

Skymin March 14th, 2011 4:32 PM

T'was easy. I had a Beartic. Level 55 + Icicle something = instant KO. I managed to beat him without even getting one of my pokes below orange health.

kirbyking1234 March 14th, 2011 4:41 PM

Ghetsis? You mean that sage guy I smited? Wasn't hard at all for me. Samurott @ Level 64 = win.

j2y8n2x March 14th, 2011 5:26 PM

Ghetsis wasn't the difficult one for me
The ghost Elite4 was hell to me

I found all his pokemon easy to take out. Other than that overpowered Hydreigon. It's crazy speed and special attack made my pokemon a piece of cake to take out. My strategy was to use my Unfezzant attack with fly,(because it took out a third of Hydreigon's hp) then switch out for another pokemon and heal Unfezzant. Howeve this took awhile due to the Full Restore spamming.

Anyways, did anyone else have trouble taking the hydreigon down?

Same here, N was pretty easy but Ghetsis with his Hydreigon was a beast.

G-Virus March 14th, 2011 7:30 PM

His Hydreigon was annoying. I tried using my own to take it out, and I so nearl had him but surprise surprise, "Ghestis used on full restore!".

I think I took it out with Zekrom, but I don't remember.

LadyDae March 14th, 2011 7:35 PM

N wasn't too difficult. But Ghetsis had my heart pumping. I usually don't believe in using legendaries on my team but I did those too battles. My strategy was use my Haxorus, dragon dance, switch out, switch back in Haxorus, dragon dance and sweep... That worked for three of his pokemon and then he sent out that darn beast of a dark/dragon pokemon... Then it was pure luck that it never got int the red so he didn't use full restores.

Rich Boy Rob March 15th, 2011 8:51 AM

I had way more trouble against N actually, but I digress. His Hydreigon was my main problem as you say. I eventually managed to defeat it using a combination a powerful hit from my Reuniclus' Ice-Type Hidden Power (a bloody god-send) and my Archeops superior speed.
Other than that my freshly evolved Scrafty (I didn't let him evolve till just as I entered the League at Lv 50) managed to take down the rest of his team with relative ease, although he did manage to take himself out once by missing Hydeigon with Hi Jump Kick XD

Shiro March 15th, 2011 12:06 PM

Just beat Ghetsis around an hour ago, and I had so much trouble with his Hydreigon that I was worried I was using an under leveled team/just being generally pathetic at Pokemon lol. I tried to use Zekrom on it, but the Hydreigon's ridiculously high speed was all "LOL NO DRAGON BREATH FOR YOUUUU" and KO'd Zekrom within one hit with Dragon Pulse. :/

Everything else but that Hydreigon was cake. Except before that battle, Marshal was a pain for me, even when I was using Reuniclus. Darn U-Turn.

Phazon March 15th, 2011 2:02 PM

I got lucky against Cofagrigus, because I led with Ferrathorn and at the time I didn't realise that his Cofagrigus couldn't do crap to a steel-type. Cursed up and took out Cofagrigus and Seismitoad. I wasn't sure if Hydreigon had a fire attack so I kept Ferrathorn in because I didn't wanna lose my stat boosts, but Fire Blast OHKOd it. I think Emboar took out everything else with Brick Break, except Eelektross, which Musharna put to sleep and Psychic'd to death. All in all, not very hard.

Derezzed March 15th, 2011 2:18 PM

His Hydreigon vs my level 67 Hydreigon? Easy :P

Honest March 15th, 2011 3:56 PM

Uneventful for me. I think I might have used a Revive or two, and for sure a few Full Restores, but other then that... eh. The only thing about his Hydreigon is that it's SUPER cool, and had I not broken my DS three hours ago, I probably would have gone to train one. >>

smurf March 15th, 2011 4:04 PM

Anybody got any advice beatin his hydrodragon or w.e it is

Kamitsure-chan March 15th, 2011 5:04 PM

Ghetsis was easy for me... until that bloody Hydreigon.

It KO'd pretty much every Pokemon on my team, and I kept having to use max revive on Reshiram since it was the only one that had the most of a chance in fighting it. I just barely won o-o;;;

lamby101 March 15th, 2011 5:08 PM

He was a bit of trouble, I just completely lucked out with my Beartic.

I was lucky enough that both the fire blast and stone edges missed and I got two blizzards in (he was only level 46 lol)

But yeah like you said, Hydreigen was the only real threat, Eelektross was just annoying.

Tony15 March 15th, 2011 5:08 PM

I swept the E4 - N - Ghetsis with Gigalith Lvl 52-55. (Lvled up through battling)

Dawn March 15th, 2011 7:10 PM

My Elektross annihilated him, as usual. Problem with Hydreigon is that it's got pretty meh moves. Cynthia was the only person in the entire game that could even take out my Haxorus, and that's only because she had a Garchomp and I was underleveled.

~Ryukaa March 15th, 2011 11:31 PM

First two times I tried to beat him, it felt like hell.
That was probably because I was tired and sleepy. I don't know.
But when I tried to battle him the next day, he was pretty easy. I only had one death. xD;

Opposite Day March 16th, 2011 12:39 AM

First time (on JP) it was a pretty epic showdown, my Krookodile vs his Cofagrius, me trying to get a Moxie sweep going, he just protect + toxistalled. Solution? Bring in Sawsbuck for aromatherapy, as Moxie got nullified by Mummy regardless. Tried to set up a sweep with Samurott after Krook died, but noo, Megahorn didn't ohko his Hydreigon, etc. Eventually all that's left after a long fight is his Eelektross and my Carracosta at 70%. He Wild Charges, and leaves me with FOUR hp standing. Waterfall doesn't ohko, but it puts him in Aqua Jet range. Never felt more attached to my turtle than then, especially considering how that was like my third try after losing to him lol.

On Eng White, however, it was a completely different tale. I brought out Dragon Dance Scrafty as my lead, DDs three times + full heal, and proceeded to sweep his entire team. :x

Switching out makes you lose the boosts so it probably wasn't very good that you switched out and then back in. :(
