Beat him on the first try like majority.
Had a Sceptile, Ninetails, Flygon, Seadra, Galalie and some other pokemon in my 6th Slot all around the 55- 60 level. First time playing him ever (since I never played the original) and found him as one of the more easier Champions to beat.

Finally got to him again on my Alpha Sapphire run

His Mega Metagross actually took out my Mega Metagross, but since I wanted to beat him with my Mightyena, I wasn't discouraged (that Bullet Punch caught me off guard)

Two Earthquakes would've KO'd him and I'm pretty sure Crunch would do the same

This time, my team was ten levels higher than my Omega Ruby run, so it was laughably easy

...I was level 50 by the time I got to Primal Kyogre, so...

I'm thinking of restarting the game and picking Treecko or Mudkip. Move all my current Pokemons to PokeBank. Trade certain items to my Pokemon Y game and trade em back to AS. I still haven't faced the Elite 4. I'm literally inside the Pokemon centre, standing outside the door that leads to the first Elite 4 trainer. I've just been challenging people to battles lol

I beat Steven on my first try. Part of that had to do with having a Blaziken and a Sandslash, which destroyed most of his team. In the end, it came down to my Sandslash and Swellow against his Mega Metagross. Mega Metagross went for Giga Impact, which I thought would surely knock out my Sandslash and make me lose, but my Sandslash survived with 3 HP and, one Earthquake later, the battle was won.

I won on my first try. I had a pretty well-rounded team and I took my time with the game, so by the time I got around to battling the Elite Four my Pokemon were like 10~20 levels stronger than Steven's.

KillerTyphlosion January 21st, 2015 1:31 PM

In my very first run on the original ruby i lost like 10+ times. I resetted a lot to beat him and used a lot of healing items. But on omega ruby run he was rather easy even when my pokémon were 50-55. I didn't use the exp share at all and I was on set + plus I decided no healing items in battle. In the first 3 gens I always used my starter for the whole game and just captured the legendary's that I could find. But for me the second gen was the hardest as a kid because I only had my starter and could never find the legendary's.

Circuit January 21st, 2015 2:49 PM

Steven was a breeze. Not the clean sweep I'd wanted, but he didn't take much effort. Now I've to have my rematch, which will be clean sweep. But the first time I made it so it was my mega Metagross against his. needless-to-say mine won by a ton. I mean seriously, Giga Impact? Come now Steven, you're better than that XD

Katchelina January 24th, 2015 8:50 AM

I almost lost to Steven my first time but his mega metagross had to recharge and gave my swampert a free turn to finish the battle. I wound up beating him with my highest level pokemon at the same level as his metagross.

FeralSlaaneshi January 24th, 2015 10:31 AM

I feel like he shot himself in the foot by giving you Metagross...
Basically it was a case of dealing with the rest of his team first, then countering his Metagross with my own. I remember my very first run through of Ruby and I just couldn't touch his Metagross with anything I had at the time, but this time it was a case of using my own, Mega Evolving it, then waiting him out.

EnigmaPyrope January 25th, 2015 2:11 PM

First thing I did upon getting the exp share was to disable it, and keep it disabled for the entire game. By the time I got through victory road, my team reached from level 40 to 45. I beat the elite four all on my first try, but only beat Steven on my second attempt. The first time, I think I spent a little too long against his Skarmory, and both times I lost my mega evolved Pokémon before getting to Metagross.

Also I never used Pokémon-Amie or Super Training.

My team:
Swampert
Metagross (only evolved after beating Glacia)
Gardevoir
Shiftry
Ninjask
Castform (Ice focused)

jombii January 26th, 2015 7:36 AM

I never lost to Steven. I mean, I find more difficulty in Glacia than him.

Groudon wrecked his team down.

donavannj January 26th, 2015 8:45 AM

Steven never was a challenge for me this generation. Though I still have yet to face him on my OR cart, so I've really only faced him once.

First time around in Gen 3 he was a challenge, but I still managed to beat him on the first try via some luck and a Blaziken/Kyogre tag team.

Kyora January 26th, 2015 9:05 AM

I didn't lose at all.
Lumio the Fire fang Mightyena was able to KO most of his pokemon in between one to four hits (he was like level 79 or something), then when mega metagross came out and fainted Lumio, Lulu, the level 80 perfect-IV EV-trained Altairia, dropped mega metagross' hp to about half before he crit her D:
Then Japas the Masquerain killed it with a Bug Buzz. It wasn't even a critical hit, just a Bug Buzz, and he was only level 78.

The first thing I said when I beat him was "WELL. That was definitely harder than Diantha." because she was the easiest champion I've ever faced.

TheSonicMaster662 January 26th, 2015 4:42 PM

Beat Steven On My First Try. I one hit KO'D Half his team (including Mega Metagross) with Primal Kyogre's Origin Pulse.That move is op as heck

gamercomix615 February 21st, 2015 4:18 PM

Did it on my first try easily because I was overleveled, but when I did the Elite 4 rematch, I got absolutely destroyed.

TheGhosteon February 22nd, 2015 6:05 AM

I beat him first try in both OR and AS. He was surprisingly easy for me. Maybe it's because we were evenly matched, I dunno.

blue February 22nd, 2015 7:30 AM

I defeated Steven on my first attempt. He did K.O a couple of my team members, but I found him to be easier than expected.

Same here. I was way overleveled this time around, even though I sped through the last few gyms. I just barely won (with half HP on my only surviving Pokemon, the HM slave Linoone) the second time around, though. Cynthia was a pain in multiple games. I remember crying over losing to her a few times.

EternalSushi February 22nd, 2015 10:47 AM

It's really not that difficult. My underleveled Lucario went nasty plot then swept with Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse o.o

Hikamaru February 23rd, 2015 2:08 AM

I didn't lose to him, because I had the awesome powerhouse that was Mega Swampert. In fact, my Swampert alone makes such short work of his rematch team.

Pendraflare February 23rd, 2015 11:48 AM

Seems we have more than a few people who opt for super buff mega vs super metal mega xP Yeah, that was how it went for me, as I mentioned, in the rematch it was even less of a hassle even though I only used Swampert against the Metagross in both goes.
