The Kimono Girls are a joke in GSC but such a pain in HGSS : I totally agree
Umbreon was difficult as well, it stalled my team and wears them down for the rest. Stall doesn't work as the player, but it's very annoying to have to fight, especially with following battles.No one has mentioned the HGSS Kimono Girl battles!
Those were hard, 5 matches in a row and Espeon basically destroys half your team if you aren't super prepared for it. Totally agree with all the other trainers people are posting. Though there is one guy in BW with a Bouncing Mantine that gave my friends a lot of trouble...
Cipher Admin Dakim also runs an EQ+Protect team in Pokemon Colleseum. His shadow Pokemon, Entei, does not have Protect. Also, Entei has a very low capture rate in Collesseum, so it is difficult to capture, especially since Shadow Rush does recoil damage.Yes, I know I never post in this sub-forum, but wth, I've been a fan of the games so I might as well.
I'd just like to give a special SCREW YOU to the first Gorigan fight in Pokemon XD. That fight alone forced me to use Pidgeot on my XD team. I mean, seriously, a pre-ending DEDICATED Protect+EQ team!? In addition, there weren't a whole lot of Pokemon immune to Earthquake you could use in XD to my recollection. Even though none of his mons get STAB, the Earthquakes still hit pretty hard.
But that's not all. At the same time, I was trying to capture his Primeape and Hypno while all this crap was happening, and, btw neither of the two have Protect so they can die rather quickly and they have powerful Shadow moves you have to be wary of. It was hell for me to get through this fight as a kid. I think I played it at least 15 times before I won, and it was after my Arbok had finished spamming Shadow Half and was down to only 3 HP, not to mention it was the only Pokemon still alive. So yeah, that battle was hard as hell.
I didn't have any trouble with Caitlin, but only because I was using Zoroark. I just put a Pokemon that I knew she'd use Psychic attacks against last in my party and never took any damage. Manipulating AI FTW.-The last difficult battle I had was against Caitlin.
Her Pokemon would never faint to a single attack, and her Yawn-spamming Musharna guaranteed one of my Pokemon out cold. The rest of the battle was incredibly tough, the toughest out of the E4+Champion (for me at least).
Remember my Soul Silver Scramble from Mk I? Those kimono girls were really tough! After Umbreon and Espeon went down, all I had left was Beatdown the Lanturn. But she was a hard counter to Flareon, Jolteon (thank you Volt Absorb Ability!), and Vaporeon.No one has mentioned the HGSS Kimono Girl battles!

I beat Misty's Starmie with my Beedrill, only one or two levels higher than it. I outsped and OHKO'd with Twineedle. (although one of the hits may have been a crit). Just saying.misty in fire red. shes upgraded to water pulse which has insane confusion hax. even a pikachu 5 levels higher struggles against that starmie.
ghetsis is pretty easy except for that blasted hydreigon. it OHKOs everythingin one shot and was faster than my reshiram. i beat him with stoutland but i lost a couple of times before that. i had to teach it giga impact to kill it which nobody should ever have to do.
