Bianca or Cheren? Which was harder?
 
Which do you think was more difficult between Cheren and Bianca? I honestly found Bianca to be more difficult. I know she's supposed to be the Underdog (lol, a cookie to anyone who gets it), but that Stoutland and Musharna can both take a few hits and Dish out a few in Return. As for Cheren... well... he has Liepard. Enough said.

Bianca. Partially because I finished the 5th gym without healing, not much of an issue, however it took a while to defeat her Musharna.

Cheren, on the other hand, I had no issues at all.

Yeah, that Musharna's HP stat can be a barrier.

I haven't played the games yet but I'll tell you once I get Black.

Cheren, despite having a starter advantage against you is easier to defeat than Bianca according to you there Joe.

Well I actually just Box'ed my Servine for a future team. I replaced it with Panpour, now a Simipour, and the rest is just a surf, scald, and dig into history.

The Nightmare September 19th, 2011 7:47 PM

Bianca was harder than cheren because she has a strong scoutland and chandelure.

Saturday's Child September 19th, 2011 7:57 PM

You know what, now that I look back on it, I think Bianca was harder AFTER Munna and Lillipup evolved. And really, I had barely any trouble with Cheren. Maybe once after a critical hit, but that's it.

PlatinumDude September 20th, 2011 12:17 AM

I think Cheren was a bit harder because of how his Pokemon had held items, like Leftovers and Scope Lens.

Pokemon Trainer Touko September 20th, 2011 12:55 AM

Both of them were easy because I spent most of the time training my pokes. Cheren was a teenie weenie bit harder tho. o3o

Zelda September 20th, 2011 1:50 AM

I think they both had an equal level of difficulty for me, but in the end both were really easy to defeat. The only one Pokémon that did take me longer to kill than the rest, was Bianca's Musharna, so I guess judging from that, to me she was the harder one (although still, not really hard at all).

Kikaito plush September 20th, 2011 2:28 AM

Biana was tougher as she always defeated me a few times before I beat her.

Makbets September 20th, 2011 3:25 AM

Both were easy, but Cheren was a bit harder cause of his held items and Simipour (yep my starter was Osha) who knew Scald (I think), and once swept half of my team. @[email protected]

LéDerp September 20th, 2011 3:46 AM

^Same, the move 'scald' was a pain in the ass, lol :@

bob517 September 20th, 2011 4:02 AM

Both of them were easy but cheren was definitely the harder one!

vaporeon7 September 20th, 2011 4:07 AM

[s]They were rivals, they must have been so week, I thought they were normal trainers.[s]

They weren't that hard, because of my over-levelled Pokemon. I do remember Musharna being evil though.

blue September 20th, 2011 4:39 AM

I know the majority of people will most likely say Cheren but I'm saying Bianca.
She can be tough at times and very stratigic plus I prefer her to Cheren!

Ho-Oh September 20th, 2011 6:45 AM

Bianca tbh. Cheren was easy to beat which worked out lovely for me. Actually, even easier on my third playthrough with my fighting-weakness team. :) First was sorta hard against Bianca though iirc so yeah going with her.

Yoshikko September 20th, 2011 7:27 AM

Hmmm I'm saying Cheren. I didn't beat the game yet cause I took a break, but up till now he's been harder than Bianca really, though I'm having a bit trouble with her Stoutland lol.

Ashe1024 September 20th, 2011 7:29 AM

My starter was Oshawatt, so despite Cheren having Snivy and it's evolutions, I had Pansear and later Darmanitan. I easily wiped out his grass type and he was smooth sailing from there. I also always keep a grass type on me (at first it was Leavany, but was eventually swapped for Liligant) so his Panpour/Simipour was no challenge either. I beat him first try every time.

Bianca however was a pain. Her Munna/Musharna beat me into a pulp multiple times. And if it weren't for keeping a Sawk in my party throughout the main story her Stoutland would have been just as painful.

So all in all, I have to say Bianca was slightly harder.

Perriechu September 20th, 2011 8:05 AM

Cheren, mainly because I had major problems with him at the start of the game in the trainer school. ): After that he was easy to defeat.

Bianca was too easy. Her team was quite weak, but like other people her Musharna gave me problems. :x

Pikachukid September 20th, 2011 9:43 PM

i think Cheren but only because after every gym battle I recklessly rush ahead without healing and then all of a sudden "WE HAVE THE SAME BADGE BUT WHO'S STRONGER?!"
I am. Still me. Give it a rest -_-#

Hikamaru September 20th, 2011 10:23 PM

I heard so many people have trouble with Bianca's Musharna, that thing has very bulky Defense and Sp. Def stats!

Just try using Crunch, it has a chance of lowering Defense if you have trouble with that Musharna!

When I play Black, I'll give my full opinion.

Juzey September 21st, 2011 12:21 AM

Bianca, slighlty, because of her Musharna.

リザードン☆ September 28th, 2011 10:51 PM

For me, Bianca was a lot harder than Cheren even though he is supposedly a stronger trainer.. It was mostly due to her Stoutland, Musharna and at one time Chandelure. Stoutland would have been no trouble for my Pignite/Emboar if I hadn't accidently removed its Arm Thrust move.. The Musharna no matter what I hit it with continued to fight back mostly with putting me to sleep.. Cheren on the other hand was rather easy, once I taught Emboar Wild Charge his Dewott/Samurott was never a problem and Dewott before this was the only Pokémon I had a little trouble with.

jordsters September 28th, 2011 11:03 PM

Cheren. I always got stuck on the battles with him. Bianca however, I defeated her every time.

Kylectro September 28th, 2011 11:18 PM

None where to hard, But to answer the question. Prob Cheren.

I preferred him anyway as it was always great battling him for the heal after the battle :)
