Why do so many people insist Cynthia is the hardest champion? Garchomp gets deleted easily by one empoleon ice beam/blizzard, and it knows Giga Shitpact! Lucario is useless. Roserade and Togekiss are the same as Garchomp. Milotic and Spiritomb are the designated sponges.

Steven is a harder champion with his annoying Cradily.

Steven is a shitter who was replaced by a faggot.
Hardly a hard battle.
Just use your Blaziken’s fighting type move against Cradily, bro.
>>
It's because most people don't like running slow, bulky Pokémon because they take too long to raise and they aren't good for steamrolling through Pokémon games. Platinum thankfully gives you more crossgen evos in the main game to encourage you to run bulky Pokémon, but most people still only ever use Staraptor or Crobat for their designated flyer.
>>
>>59358451
I don’t give a fuck.
You give the same reasoning for Garchomp and tell people to “just use Empoleon, bro”
Blaziken wipes like 4/6 of Shitven’s team.
>>
>>59358434
because she was retardedly overleveled in DP you dumbfuck nigger
on top of having fully EV'd pokemon unlike 99% of npc trainers
it also has SE STAB against two starters and both the big box legendaries a kid might also be using, while the third starter can't really touch it
>>
>>59358462
And not everyone chooses the fucking penguin you absolute retard yet you still though that was a valid reason.
>none of Steven’s mon’s have 4x weakness to your starter err except one that does.
>Steven is difficult using treecko if you do not build the other 5/6th of your team.

The more you post the more retarded you sound. Abandoning thread.

>>59358434
Because she is. And she filtered millions
Next question!

You've already lost. She's literally living rent free in your head and warping your team-building around her.

>Garchomp gets deleted easily by one empoleon ice beam/blizzard
how exactly would a kid (pokemons target audience) playing DP for the first time in ~2007 know that in advance ..?
Assuming he even has an empoleon

>>59358501
Who cares
You're a nobody posting on 4chan

>>59358501
How sad must your life be that you are lying on a taiwanese basket weaving forum about monster creature catching and coaching to appear cool.
All because you're butthurt a character you dislike is extremely popular.
I pity you, OP.
>>
>>59358434
Most champions aren't that hard once you get over that they have six pokemon and are over leveled (Which only starts mattering by Gen 4). Cynthia has the most overleveled and the most obviously strong Pokemon. Steven has a theoretically more solid plan, but he jobs hard to earthquake.
>>
bidoof soloes her
>>
>>59358434
Because no one struggles with Steven.

>>59358683
Steven only has 2 Pokemon weak to EQ. He jobs to Surf more

This. But Pokèmon is a game for kids so it makes sense. It's not meant to be hard for adults
>>
It's honestly very possible your Empoleon goes down to an EQ. Unless you invest crazy hard into Speed (we're talking +Speed Nature with max IVs and 200+ EVs invested) you're not going first, so any damage beforehand makes the KO chance more likely even if you have some HP invested, as anything below 50% HP no matter how bulky your Empoleon is dies to an EQ. And this is also all assuming your Empoleon is at-level for all this. Additionally you need at least a small damage boost from Natures/EVs or a held item to guarantee an OHKO on Garchomp which not ever player immediately considered.

So you do actually have to play a bit smart if your game plan for Garchomp is Empoleon, it's not an autowin button.
>>
>>59360855
why do adults get hard though...
>>
you misunderstand, she's the champion that makes people hardest
>>
Who is actually the hardest champion?

you sound like you lost to Garchomps GI kek

99% of DDPt players in 2007-2008 saw a Garchomp for the first time when Cynthia brought it out

>>59358434
>Garchomp gets deleted easily by one empoleon ice beam/blizzard
And empoleon doesn't get deleted by STAB earthquake first?
retard
>>
>>59361253
99% of them also probably saw Spiritomb first there as well. Hell, a lot of kids probably didn't even know champions were a thing.
