Your hardest battle
There is at least one trainer who gave us more trouble then anyone else in the game, right? Sure, some battles were hard, but this one just really sticks out as hard. You may have had pokemon stronger or around the same level, but this trainer still gave you trouble.... Who was it?
For me, I'd have to say it was the first battle against Shauntal. I pretty much sweeped the E4, but I came unready for a ghost trainer, and she managed to drop my team down to two pokemon with her Chandelure, which she used as her second pokemon. |
I'd say Shauntal....
I have beaten all other E4, but now I'm down to my level 24 Tranquill. -__- (I'm facing her right now!) Not looking forward to redoing all the other E4. |
Ghetsis sucked....
That guy nearly wiped me out.... (And it wasn't just his Hydreigon wither. All of those darn Pokemon were at least five levels higher than mine.... excluding my Reshiram and my Serperior.) N was also difficult. As was the entire Elite Four. (I shoulda trained more. :D) |
Most of the trainers after elite four forced me to transfer my old team.
And Cynthia =_=. My team was composed of lv50~60s and one lv85 Breloom (transferred) which I thought was enough to one hit them all but she killed it in one attack, then proceeded to one shot the rest of my team... shut game after that... haven't visited her since. Don't really want to waste her exp points on my lv100 pokemon. |
I don't really understand why people have had so much trouble with trainers like Ghetsis and the Elite Four. I had a team of 6 as soon as I was able to, and my team was always at or above each Gym leader's main Pokemon's level... I even wasted a bunch of experience on Pokemon I started to raise then gave up on, like my Gurdurr, Blitzle, Woobat and Scolipede. I found that there was easily enough XP in the game to keep ahead of the curve, more so even than in previous Generations.
As for a trainer I really struggled with... To be honest the point in the game where I struggled the most was after I beat the E4 and decided to head for one of the Routes that had just opened up. I went to Nimbasa City and headed East, and was confronted with trainers whose Pokemon were Lv.60-65+. My highest level Pokemon was about level 53 at this point. I went back and did the two sports arenas in Nimbasa for training, but all the trainers immediately post-E4 were tough because of the massive level jump. |
Yesss, I just beat Shauntal. o.o
Now I have 2 more. xD |
Ghetsis gave me so much trouble, i just had nothing really to take down his Hydreigon, being a good 5lvls above my best pokemon.
And then on my second try i managed to take it down with my Serperior, which killed it with leech seed, while i kept it healed with Hyper Potions, took quite some time but it went down at last! Was quite a surprise for me that exactly this one of my pokemon would be the one to beat it. |
Ghetsis........
i still havent beat him and his stupid overleveled dragon Hydreigon |
I'm facing Ghetsis now.
*kicks Hydreigon* |
Shauntal was a royal pain for me, for the first time, i didnt know the second types of half her pokemon and it cost me
|
Cynthia. -_-; I hated fighting her. Can't wait until spring to destroy her with my new team. >D
|
Well I guess the hardest battle was against an ace trainer right when you exit the White forest to the east because it was the only battle I've lost so far. I wasn't expecting trainers 20+ lvls above of my pokemon plus the fact that her Purugly had attract and swagger REALLY made me mad.
|
I don't remember the trainer class, but i do remember the pokemon that make half of my team fainted. Damn those Sigilyph and its Air Cutter
|
Pre-E4, that electric gym kicked my butt. I didn't expect the Emolgas, my Mud Shot did nothing on them.
Ghetsis I only won after a lucky flamethrower missed, and my lucky attack critted. Otherwise I would have had to go get my Pokemon to 55 to even stand a chance. |
Ghetsis... That bastard gave me the hardest hurdle so far... Hands down -_-
|
Wow Shauntal was my easiest E4 Mem with my Lv 44 Zoroark and Lv 46 Krookodile. Anyways back on subject, my hardest was probably Ghestis or what ever his name is. I got lucky taking him down when I did. Took me 3 times.
|
I just about got past N, but Ghetsis' Hyrdeigon absolutely tore me to shreds, I was lucky to get past him in the end, a couple of misses from Fire Blast and two hits with Blizzard from my level 50 Beartic did the job.
|
So far, it has to be Elesa because she's the only trainer I've had to battle twice. I've yet to face the Elite 4 because I'm wandering around Unova since I know I'm underleveled for the next phase (43-44 is my level range).
|
The trainers AFTER the Elite Four were a nightmare
Route ten, kid with level 65 challenges me ack! the Elite Four, N, and Geechisu were laughably easy |
Quote:
Not to mention I've noticed this time around the NPCs have a lot of crit hits, and avoid a lot of your attacks. |
Elesa was HARD, too. o.o
I actually beat everyone, including Ghetsis, with my Dragonite, Emboar, and Piloswine. x) |

Yeah, at first I freaked out when the Sages seemed like they were going to come after you one after the other, then that didn't happen, so I half assumed that when Ghetsis started to act like he was going to fight you, N was going to stop him and fight him himself for ruining his childhood, using him, etc...but no, lol. I also blacked out and went to the Pokecenter, stocked up on items, trained a bit more, then went back. |

|
I honstly don't see why people have trouble with Ghetsis. I personally found N to be the harder fight to deal with, since I almost lost against him. My pokemon were ranging from 48-52 at the time though...
Also, most of the trainers with the 20+ level pokemon after the E4 didn't really give me much trouble either... except for one guy and his freakin' Lapras. It hit me with 5 Sheer Cold's in a row... |
Quote:
I'm amazed that people don't seem to realize that his dragon is seriously under leveled...they should be REJOICING that it wasn't level 64 Ice Breath>Critical Hit>One Hit KO for me And Cynthia actually scared me as soon as you step into her house, you hear that epic piano...since my team was ten levels weaker then hers, I'm glad you could say "No" to her battle now, if only we could do the same against trainers... |
I'm glad someone else has noticed the ridiculous number of critical hits the computer trainers seem to score. Honestly, the only times my Pokemon have ever fainted in Black and White have been through ridiculous crits. It's actually fairly rare for me to fight a trainer with 3 or more Pokemon without being critted at least once.
|
i beat ghetsis first time he wasn't to hard but hes got tough pokemon!!! a few of the victory road trainers stuck out as being particularly hard but they were easily put in their place by my pokemon :-)

Quote:
I was scared since I was just wandering around, but yeah, thank god for the No option. My hardest battle was Elesa. Stupid Emolga alternating with Volt Switch. And yeah, this time trainers are more unchallenging than the previous one. I never had trouble with the E4 + N + Ghetsis. (・_・ ) ( ・_・) Smiley post count: 9 |

Ghetsis was the pain for me. It was mainly because I didn't have a Fighting or Ice move to take down that Hydreigon of his the first time around, and when I could've won I blacked out because I attacked instead of healed. Should have healed. xD;
Second time was easier though, thanks to Reuniclus and my awesome idea of teaching it Focus Blast. Best choice I made in that game. ;^; |
Ghetis and N were fairly easy for me...since all my pokemon were faster than his pokemon...
Shauntal, and Caitlin were by far the most hardest ones I've faced so far... |
Ghetsis with his Hydreigon.. I beat him the first time but it was a pain.
|
N>Ghetsis
It was probably because 1. I chose not to use Zekrom against N 2. Ghetsis' Hydreigon (after KOing my scrafty once) missed THREE times with Focus Blast while I was healing Scrafty back up and switching it back in. |
Quote:
O__O Caitlin was pretty easy. Ghetsis' Hydreigon was easy for me! *pets my beautiful Piloswine with Blizzard* |
On my second run-through of pokemon Black...Ghetsis, though the only hard part of him was Hydreigon.
Cynthia....not so much; I was able to sweep her entire team with my lvl 85 Lilligant. |
Quote:
Did you hax? |
The people that were really annoying was Ghetsis and Cynthia because with Ghetsis I keep on dying with his hydreion and with Cynthia I keep dieing with lucario and garchomp that had powerful attacks but I managed to defeat them.
|
I was going to say Ghetsis, but I just remembered this one Battle Subway battle. I was doing Doubles, and he completely swept my team with a Bouffalent. I was literally swearing at my DSi.
|
Ghetsis without a doubt. This was the FIRST time my samurott died even though he was level 58 , dang you hydreigon!! His hydreigon and seismitoad had really high defense. I had to use swords dance 2-3 times just to OHKO him lol xD

It may sound a little stupid but i'd say the first gym. I chose Snivy as a starter and got through the game quite well until the first gym. My Snivy was at level 16, a very strong start for gym challenges as far as i know. I fought against Chili and never won until i blacked out several times. I came up with a strategy by using growth all the way up till the max during the fight with Lilipup and that pretty much did the trick.
P.S I didn't know i could get a Panpour as a gift until later after the gym battles. XD |
My hardest battle was with Ghetsis. I did beat him first go but it was a fair old grind. I used so many hyper potions, revives and 3 max revives. I was relived when it ended.
In my opinion though, it wouldn't of been that hard if I had my Krookodile in my team at the time. |
I guess my hardest battle was when I was facing Clay when I started out with Tepig on Pokemon White, because well, normally I would now of had a Lilligant by then, but...no, I wanted it to learn better moves, and his Excadrill outsped and OHKO'd my Pignite because I didn't let it stay in against his Palipotoad, whiiiiich normally I would of used flame change and get the speed boost. D=
So, Excadrill was a little tricky to beat, but, other than that, everyone one else weren't to bad of a challenge. |
Definitely Cheren in one of our early battles. I was grinding my team like crazy and they were all fainted. Panpour was the only one healthy enough to battle.
Anyways, two Work Up's and 2 super potions later I set up a sweep. |

For me, Ghetis was a huge chump. So was the Elite Four the first time around and N. I was underleveled and still pwnt them in the face. My worst battle came when in regard to Cynthia. Man, I thought she was strong in Platinum, here, she litterly OHKO half my team. I was BARELY able to beat her. I have to be glad that her Dragon Rush on my Samurott missed and I got in two ice beams to 2HKO her Garchomp. When I see her Garchomp, it makes me miss the little guy. I must say some may think my team is kinda bad because I use two dragons. Lol.
Team: Samurott Infernape Electivire Hydreigon Haxorus (probably will replace with Garchomp later) Staraptor |
Ghetsis was my hardest battle in the game by far. All of my Pokémon were underlevelled and his Hydreigon simply KO'ed all of my Pokémon. I used like 10 revives, 20 hyper potions and like 10 full restores. Luckily my Excadrill was a bit overlevelled, so I managed to beat him in the end. (Excadrill only had like 20 HP left after the battle though)
My second hardest battle must be Elesa. She knocked out my entire party like 20 freaking times. I was about to throw my DS. ._. But managed to beat her in the end, god I was happy. The next time I'm going to play through the game, I'm gonna make sure my Pokémon aren't underlevelled and that I have the correct type advantages against the different gym leaders. I never really expected Black & White to be this much harder than the previous games. |

I guess Elisa did cause me a little trouble. I had my Krokorok and he managed to take out one Emolga and her zebra... but then I got paralyzed on her last Emolga and it managed to get 4 Double Teams. Oh, I thought I was going to lose so bad... Since, you know, the game favors the computer with paralyzation...
|
The hardest battle was battling the fourth gym leader. It was hard because she kept using volt switch and spark that kept parlyzed me.
|
Dennis's Hydrogeion made it one of the most difficult battles for me. =/
All the trainers post-game wasn't a problem. Most of them are NFE, the Altaria and Abomasnow were meh though. |
A wild Pokémon on the first route :p I've yet to play the game properly.
|
Cheren, Cheren, Cheren....Am I the only one who's finding him to be a royal pain? My lv. 54 Serperior can KO every other pokemon of his without any damage and then he brings out his Emboar, lv.45.....No matter what stratagies I try, he always KO's my poor Serperior in 2 hits with flamethrower...My lv.44 Lampent gets KO'd by assurance no matter when I bring it out...I feel like such a horrible trainer. Cheren has literally made me go broke. Curse you Cheren. *imagines throttling Cheren*
|
The hardest battle by far was my battle with Clay. At first, I was hoping to solo his team with my Level 34 Snivy. His Krookowhatever used Bulldoze and made my Snivy slow :(. I didn't really have enough time to use Growth or else his 1st pokemon wouldn't KOed me anyway. And then when Excadrill came, I could only land 2 hits on it before Snivy fainted. I actually had to teach my Zebstrika Rock Smash so I could get rid of the health that was left of Excadrill. Then I sent out my Duosion and KOed his Palpitoad.

The hardest battle for me was definitely Aloe (The second gym). Too embarrassed to say how many times it took me to finally defeat her. |
Um...not to sound rude or anything...but how exactly does ANYONE lose to at least the first three gyms?
Mind you, I overtrain my teams (I had Dewott, the fire monkey and Purrloin's evolution) roughly level 20 by the time I got to the first gym buy Potions, use leer, growl and Sand attack, they add up over time! |
Ghetsis Dennis. His Elektross could 2KO all of my pokemon, and I ended up reviving pokemon each turn until it KOed itself with wild charge. Same with Buffalon's Afro Break attack. Oddly, I had no trouble with Hydrogen or (whatever its called)
EDIT: also with one of my White ROMs, I got stuck on the 1st gym :/ |
Quote:
It was only on my third playthrough that I had issues with Aloe(2nd gym) and that was because of my selection of Pokemon I think. |
The first gym was very hard. Lillipup and Pansage were rather high leveled, and my team weak against them. Pansear was worthless against anything, so I had to grind.
|
Chern the battle on victory road. His i couldn't kill his seurpier at all. I used zebrastrika flame charge but it did no damage. After 2 losses i just went back and bought the blizzard tm and won.

My hardest battle was against Charles in Driftveil City, the first Triple Battle. My pokemon were in all the wrong positions, and i almost got wasted. Not quite as fun as I though they would be.
|
For me it had to be Ghetsis.. his Hydreigon just wiped my team had to battle him three times. The third after I trained back in Victory Road.
|
Skyla was extremely hard to beat with my level 40 Zebstrika.
I'm being sarcastic. |
Ghetsis' Hydrogeion ripped my team to shreds. The battle against him was the only one that I had to restart, except for maybe the second gym battle. I decided to teach Brick Break to a couple of Pokémon after getting ripped to shreds in the first match, but it didn't help at all, since they got 1-hit-KOed before they could attack. I beat him the second try with mostly luck. The gym leaders and Elite 4 were the easiest to beat of any game I've played. I 1-hit-KOed through a couple of them, I think Skyla and Iris, using Zebstrika and Haxorus. I used Archeops against Iris' Druddigon, since Haxorus was having trouble dealing with the ones before hers. I also used Archeops to 1-hit-KO through Marshal's team. Caitlin gave me a lot of trouble, however. N wasn't that hard for me to beat, especially compared to the trouble Ghetsis gave me.
|
Ghetsis - totally much higher in power level than the E4 or N
|
Ok, so the only person i ever blacked out on was... Cilan! That dang Ba----- killed me with his stupid Lillipup. I actually had no problem with Ghetsis and N. Ghetsis scared me when he came bursting in tho... I think my Samurott swept his whole team tho.
|
Cynthia in Undella Town. Stupid Garchomp...
