If any? Are there any evil team bosses you struggled with, either recently or when you were younger?

While it wasn't specifically me, friends at school at the time apparently had a hard time with Ghetsis in BW. Apparently his Cofagrigus was too defensive and got away with double protect pretty often and their teams went down to Toxic.

+1 for Ghetsis, but i'll also chip in the double battle with Mars and Jupiter on Spear Pillar. as a 10 year old i had a poor choice of pokemon for my team and with my boi Barry literally sending out a Munchlax versus a Purugly and Skuntank, i knew i was in trouble.

First time I played Black I had a hard time battling Ghetsis and it was his Hydreigon that was hard for me to beat. I also struggled against Giovanni on Yellow since he was using ground type and I was using Pikachu who was my strongest Pokemon.

Definitely Ghetsis, took me several tries to beat him the first time I played through Pokémon Black/White, though he was a lot easier in the second Gen 5 games

BW Ghetsis for me. I would say Mother Beast Lusamine would be in contention, but I haven't played Sun/Moon with the exact same ruleset that I used with Black/White (the most notable difference between the rulesets being the fact that Revive Spam was a legal strategy in Moon)
