-   -   5th Gen That final battle with Ghetsis (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=245728)

The final battle was fairly easy imo. The Hydreigon was kinda tough to take down actually cuz it was constantly spamming surf on me an it was doing quite a bit of damage to all my pokemon. Also those full restores that Ghetis had weren't making things any easier

JacOat12 March 21st, 2011 1:22 PM

I can't remember what pokemon he sent in(Zekrom killed his Cofifgrus), but it allowed me to get two DDs off with Haxorus and completely sweep him. Personally, N was harder...

TheBigMan0706 March 23rd, 2011 4:08 PM

Finally beat Ghetsis!
 
Ghetsis was annoyingly hard to fight, and honestly one of the hardest bosses in the pokemon games (his Hydregion was the main problem >_<).

So, this morning (after multiple failed attempts beating him) I was surprised the Ghetsis didn't teach his Hydregion dark type moves since it took more than one hit for him to beat my reuniclus and having Unfezant finish the dragon off. When i got to his Eelektross, i thought i was screwed since Eelektross has Levitate. Then, the strangest thing happened... My Excadrill, Monty, took down that slimey eel with a X - Siccor. Talk about a close call

For the Hydreigon, I just sent out Throh and Revenged it in the face. Not too hard, although it took me a couple of tries to make it to that conclusion. XD

Yeah, it was hard, but Alder was harder.

Arma March 24th, 2011 4:45 AM

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 March 24th, 2011 6:31 AM

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 March 26th, 2011 6:17 AM

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 March 26th, 2011 7:36 AM

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

Amore March 26th, 2011 8:26 AM

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 March 26th, 2011 9:54 AM

Sure did. Definitely the hardest battle i have ever done

yaya0 March 26th, 2011 10:39 AM

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

royalty118 March 26th, 2011 11:02 AM

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 March 26th, 2011 11:40 PM

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 March 27th, 2011 3:19 AM

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 March 27th, 2011 3:59 AM

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

dieter57 March 27th, 2011 5:35 AM

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 March 27th, 2011 8:25 PM

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 March 27th, 2011 8:53 PM

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

Nikorasu April 22nd, 2011 10:51 AM

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 April 22nd, 2011 10:53 AM

I had a Choice Scarfed Haxorus. Quite easy win.

Gothitelle. April 22nd, 2011 10:55 AM

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.

Ho-Oh April 22nd, 2011 11:00 AM

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

I have a level 64 Reuniclus...

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.
