This is the most forgettable final gym leader battle in the entire franchise.
It leaves zero impressions on the player.
I didn't even remember that Carracosta wasn't his ace before I looked him up.
>>
Most Water Gym Leaders are dogshit. People only like the girls and Wallace is hard-carried by the retarded decision to make him Emerald's Champion
>>
>>58203359
Juan isn't bad. Rest+Double Team that take neutral damage from both Grass and Electric is a pretty annoying ace.
>>
>>58203359
People like Crasher Wake.
>>
>>58203335
i only remember him because hes doesnt tan his crotch. if the gym leader doesnt have big tits, they might as well not exist
>>
>>58203335
but enought about wulfric
>>
>>58203405
Carried hard by the anime.
>>
>>58203335
that's not juan
>>
>>58203436
>leads with a shitmon like luvdisc because it fits his aesthetic
>kingdra with chest-resto dt plus ice beam in case you do bring a dragon for it, all three others in Hoenn take 4x after all from ice
>rematch team turns into a complete scrub that focuses on guaranteed KO's such as perish song and OHKO moves
Pretty iconic desu

forgot pic, and forgot to add
>carving out a niche despite being the second Water specialist in Hoenn, and the first one uses more than just an elemental monkey
>>
>>58203462
>all three 1 hit kos and two perish song users
>double team, protect, confusion, and rest spam
No wonder no one wants to bring this fucker back
>>
>>58203335
why does he use a hoenn mon? I tought Unova was supposed to be able to stand on its own or something
>>
>>58204002
B2W2's big drawing point were "old Pokemon are back!!!" Unova shouldn't even have a Water specialist because the Water types in Unova barely fill out a Team. Unova is the ONLY region where Water isn't really a mandatory type either so making the last Gym Leader Water feels like they didn't know what to do for the end game, especially since this is the guy that follows up Ghetsis' crashout
>>
>>58203451
>>58203462
juan is a monument to the retardation of emerald having a water-type gym leader sandwiched between a water-type team leader and a water-type champion in a region that is 50% water. i have never seen him mentioned in a context that wasn't "oh that's the guy who replaced wallace"
>>
>>58204020
>especially since this is the guy that follows up Ghetsis' crashout
confirmed did not play the game
>>
>>58204024
ok borty
>>
>>58204028
not even trying anymore
juan confirmed pokemon's biggest shitter
>>
>>58203359
Crasher wake can be challenging if you are doing challenge runs in Platinum.
Juan Kingdra can be annoying.
I personally liked vaulting veluza guy even if his battle was bad.

Misty just has bubblebeam Starmie I guess.
>>
Speak for yourself
>>
this guy blows ass. they should've just had dryaden as the eighth gym leader again. not like bw2 didn't have duplicate gym leader placement already
>>
>>58203335
He has a pretty tough competition
>GIOVANNI
>Dragon autist
>MOTHERFUCKING GARY OAK
>shit
>shit again
>Minato
>UOOOOOOHHH
>Dragon daddy
>Bara ice daddy
>Dragon nigger with actually fun battle
>>
>>58203436
This
>>
>>58203335
I didn't even remember any of his team until this thread, it's so stupid that gym leaders only have 3 pokemon in unova
you could actually make a decent water gym leader team with unovan mons
alomomola
swanna
jellicent
carracosta
seimitoad
heck you could argue eelektross would fit as it's an eel and would shake things up a bit
>>
>>58203335
Nah, I remember his battle intro and it was cool.
