The Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> <\/em>games have always varied in difficulty, especially with the changes to the experience share to a shared experience item form an equipable individual item. The actual design of the trainers and battles within the game often has\u00a0little impact on difficulty.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, most battles are made harder through level increases. However, some battles spread throughout the franchise are made incredibly difficult due to their inherent design. The difficulty of some of these battles is so high that many Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> fans remember these battles with a mixture of awe and fear, especially a particularly threatening Miltank from Goldenrod City…<\/span><\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Brock<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Back in the day with no access to the internet, it was very uncommon for players to actually know what moves Pok\u00e9mon learned at each level on top of type advantages. Being the first Gym Leader also means that the Brock fight was probably being completed by new players who didn\u2019t know the intricacies of type advantages. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fighting Brock in Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0<\/em><\/span>Yellow<\/span><\/i>\u00a0with a Pikachu and\u00a0another small rodent from Route 1 is incredibly hard. Only a Nidorino with double-kick could reliably get players through this fight, and most people had no idea that was even an option.<\/span><\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Claire<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Dragon-types were harder to deal with back in the old days before Fairy-types. In the Gen 2 games of <\/span>Gold, Silver, <\/span><\/i>&\u00a0<\/span>Crystal<\/span><\/i>, with only a couple Ice-types and only two Dragon-type evolutionary lines, players fighting Claire would need Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0capable of dealing and withstanding SERIOUS damage. But generally powerful Dragon-types<\/a> were never Claire\u2019s issue. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, it was Claire’s under the radar destroyer, Kingdra. Being a Water and Dragon-type, Kingdra\u2019s only weakness was other Dragon-type moves. And with only Dratini and Horsea, players didn\u2019t have many options. On top of this, it knows heavy-hitting moves and smokescreen, so good luck hitting the thing;\u00a0for those who manage, good luck surviving Kingdra’s own crazy attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Whitney<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Anyone who played through <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Crystal<\/span><\/i>\u00a0remembers a battle that brought a fury like no other down upon unsuspecting players within the third gym. That\u2019s right, Whitney, the Normal-type Gym Leader<\/a>. With a simple Clefairy and Miltank, Whitney brought players to their knees. <\/span><\/p>\n

Clefairy\u2019s Metronome could mean life or death all at the whims of fate. Miltank\u2019s Rollout, stab damage Stomp, and Milk Drink mean that if trainers don\u2019t take out this powerhouse quickly they can expect a thorough thrashing. To top it all off, this is still early enough in the game that players don\u2019t have access to revives other than what they find en-route, so a one-shot Rollout could be devastating.<\/span><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>May\/Brendan<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Emerald<\/span><\/i>,\u00a0<\/span>the player\u2019s rival<\/a> isn\u2019t incredibly difficult, however, for players hoping to speedrun the game, their third battle can make or break a good time. For <\/span>Emerald<\/span><\/i> speedrunners, they need to get to this battle with a level 18 Marshtomp. Unfortunately, this means a double weakness to their Grass-type, Grovyle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, they will need to use stat-boosting items to make sure Marshtomp will survive and win the fight, but the only opportunity to do this is while fighting their Wingull. What makes this so difficult is that Wingull knows Supersonic and Growl, both of which can make it impossible for Marshtomp to defeat the rivals Grovyle. Ultimately, it all comes down to luck and which moves Wingull decides to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Red<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

One of the hardest fights in any Pok\u00e9mon game is the climactic battle at the end of <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon HeartGold <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>SoulSilver<\/span><\/i>. Fighting Red is a surprising challenge that many players assume they\u2019re ready for before spending the time to really research this intense challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red\u2019s team is such a threat because of its insanely high level. With Pok\u00e9mon between levels 80 and 90, trainers will need to grind (even after beating all of the Kanto gyms) before they\u2019re ready to take on this difficult fight.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Cynthia<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In most Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> games, the champion of the region is meant to be the game\u2019s most difficult fight, with varying degrees of success. Well, <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Platinum<\/span><\/i> is one game that definitely got this right. <\/span><\/p>\n

With a team not dedicated to any one type, and the most powerful Pok\u00e9mon of this generation<\/a>\u00a0in Garchomp, Lucario, Spiritomb, and Togekiss, players really need to watch their backs. Additionally, Cynthia\u2019s team is a very high level, with her Garchomp maxing out at level 78. Overall, her team is just really really good.<\/span><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Ghetsis<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ghetsis\u2019 party in <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Black and White<\/span><\/i> is one of the hardest team\u00a0fights in the franchise. With a generally powerful team that uses real strategies, Ghetsis makes many players quiver. His Eelektross has no weaknesses, his Cofragigus effectively stalls, his Seismitoad can only be stopped by Grass-types, and his Bisharp can only be countered by a solid Fighting-type. <\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Sword & Shield: The Best Pok\u00e9mon For Water-Type Runs (& 5 To Avoid)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The real kickers are his Hydreigon and his Bouffalant. The latter has incredibly powerful attacks and needs to be stopped quickly before it wrecks an entire team, but Hydreigon is an absolute monster. With incredible speed and devastating type coverage, this evil dragon is sure to leave a bad taste in any player\u2019s mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Evice<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The final boss of <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon Coliseum<\/span><\/i> is one of the hardest fights in the franchise’s history. With a 10 level jump from the fight that immediately precedes this boss battle, Evice is one bad man. Additionally, his team absolutely slaps. <\/span><\/p>\n

With an Intimidate Salamence, a nearly indestructible Scizor, a Machamp with Rockslide and Earthquake, and a Slaking and Slowking that make an absolutely deadly combo with Skill Swap allowing the beefy sloth to attack every turn, Evice makes many trainers cry. Further, with an incredibly limited selection of Pokemon<\/a>\u00a0throughout the game, this battle is extremely tough.<\/span><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Ardos & Eldes<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

These bad blue and red brothers from <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon XD: Gale of Darkness <\/span><\/i>are two of the hardest fights in the franchise’s history. Because they\u2019re about the same though, they can just be lumped together. <\/span><\/p>\n

What makes them so difficult is how Shadow Pok\u00e9mon work in this game. With improved Shadow-type moves that are super effective against all non-Shadow-types and teams with 4 Shadow Pok\u00e9mon each, they really just make battles into a living hell. And worst of all, players are expected to catch their shadow Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>, meaning they need to stall through super powerful attacks hoping they can survive just long enough to put all of them away. Oh\u2026 but it gets worse…<\/span><\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Greevil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The final boss battle in <\/span>Pok\u00e9mon XD: Gale of Darkness<\/span><\/i> is even harder than the two brothers before. With 6 Shadow Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> that bring massive super effective damage against all non-Shadow-types, trainers need to sustain a team for a long time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Even worse is how trainers have to catch each of them before they can move on to the next Pok\u00e9mon. On top of that, three of the Shadow Pok\u00e9mon are the legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. With very low catch rates and devastating shadow moves of their own, these three leave any trainer questioning why they really need to catch-em-all.<\/span><\/p>\n
