"Oh, she's doing pretty good, she's already at Garchomp"
>14 minutes left to the video
*Sweating profusely*
LOL
I was expecting that for the Milotic, not the Garchomp.
eyeball earthquake
14 minutes of a edited video.
"You see Garchomp has a preset number of times he can use earthquake. Knowing this, I sent wave after wave of my own pokemon at him until he shut down. Calli, show them the medal I won." -Kiara Brannigan
I wasn’t expecting a Zapp Brannigan reference here! Thanks for making my day 🤣
Underrated comment.
I love this
"If we hit the bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate."
That exactly how I best Red in crystal, his sorlax was just testing through my team and I just tank it out until it ran out of moves and struggled to death lol.
I'm having heart attack from wheezing with that "What's Garchomp" line of Kiara lol.
I had a heart attack too! Man I was there live
I was already dying when she thought Lucario was her strongest, What's a Garchomp sent me into cardiac arrest xD
When she said that, I immediately went "oh no..."
to be fair, if youre used to playing Pokemon on german (like me for example), youre always like that hearing/reading the english names :D
Guess she won't forget garchamp now huh?
"YOU CANNOT BE THE CHAMPION OF THE POKEMON LEAGUE WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO SPAM MAX REVIVES!"
- A legend.
I would say this reference is pure Gold , but it's actually Golder
She literally Joe Yabuki'd her way to victory. Just took punch after punch until the opponent had no arms left.
Ahh cultured are we
Yes, Lance did have a point lol
Never forget the full restore supersoaker
Honestly a classic video
Cynthia: "Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary"
Kiara: "I DONT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING"
Yeah, basically Kungfu Panda
Wat da Kiara doin?
@@DBT1007 RUclips translated your comment to “What did Kiara do?” 😂
* Uses 3000 revives *
Skadoosh
Ah, the other KFP
Kentucky Fried Panda
I remember loved a couple of remarks while watching this:
- I love that she's learning some basic pokemon info (like full restores not reviving) while being in the champion fight
- that this felt the closest thing to "a chat plays pokemon" with Kiara being the one choosing an option randomly
For one shining moment, we were "the voices".
Why does she know Kryppuk though?
@@Justic_ Yes but how in the world did she learn the german name? xD
TPP is a thing that exists.
or that earthquake doesn't affect flying pokemon who knew
“We live! We die! We live again! WITNESS US!” -all of kiara’s team probably
very fitting for a fenix tho...

Is that a quote from the Witcher 3? Lol

@@rokva5771 WHAT A LOVELY DAY!
You know it's bad when friendship begins to be factored into the calculations
The funniest part is that friendship decreases with fainting
Bigger OOF!
@@Rubydrag33 Yeah, Kiara probably drained a bunch of her friendship with this match.
@@1mikeap4 Just run in circles for 5 minutes and it's back up anyway
still think the worst thing in the game since it takes most skill from the game, besides stalling like in this vid.....
"Lucario was her strongest Pokemon wasn't it?"
"It's wasn't? Garchomp? WHAT'S GARCHOMP?"
Not knowing about that beast...makes the approaching dread so much worse.
Thinking about it.. I think she only knew Garchomp as "Knackrack", the german name.
@@galactwicderinstabile Well, the thing that made me worry initially was the first statement, "LUCARIO WAS HER STRONGEST POKEMON, WASN'T IT?" So she didn't seem aware of Cynthia having a Garchomp, regardless what its species name is in other countries.
@@XellosNi Aah, yeah that makes sense
@@XellosNi when she said that i had that premonition that she would suffer as we all suffered before, but she asked for backseating because she didn't try to learn how to play nor best herself
Video had me dying at " kiara uses full restore on fainted pokemon" and " lucario is her strongest right?"
This is about as close as TwitchPlaysPokemon we can get. Chat was literally Kiara's braincell.
Yep, and a defective one for the most part lmao
@@Rubydrag33 Yeah, you can literally get that chomp from +4 down to -2 just switching pokemon around with no one dying while depleting it EQ PP then end with our good boy Peter tanking hit nad bwaming ice. Thou that require her to start doing it as soon as the first mon is down and of course, chat not going crazy.
@@davisdawson5047 Yeah, unfortunately most people were spamming to just keep sacrificing everyone. Also I wouldnt even use ice since it has the berry, Im pretty sure surf would do more.
@@davisdawson5047 This Garchomp has Swords Dance though, so there's a limit to intimidate pp stall.
"What's Garchomp?"
And then Chat promptly fell into panic mode. Probably.
I can imagine cyntias garchamp saying in animation "WHY! WONT! YOU! DIEEEEE!"
" I'm getting tired of seeing this Pokemons over and over again Cynthia I'm Done! Bring me back to the Poke Ball I don't care anymore "
💟
*But it refused.*
*Kiara pulls out another revive*
Nanomachines, lass. They heal my pokemon in response to physical trauma.
Cynthia's Garchomp: Wanna see me drop that pokemon?
Cynthia:...
Cynthia's Garchomp: Wanna see me do it again?
Revivemachines son! They harden in response to physical trauma
Kiara is basically 10yr old me trying to beat Cynthia by spamming revives in agony
I just lost back than. Legit didn't know revivespam existed. I could not win. A friend back then won for me. Granted Pokémon Perl was my first game I owned for myself. Also the first game I played that was not a simple puzzle game so...
Also I was 8 back then. So...more stupid than know. And I am not that great.
@@IexistIguessidk As for me, I'm a 10 year old that have overleveled starter and whole weakling team kid, I don't remember how but I think I win Cynthia with team of Infernape, Staraptor, and Palkia. Idk how.. 😅
I miss that day when I never mind about Nature EV IV and just play even with a Modest Chimchar, nowaday I need a good hour(s) for wiki search and resetting to get a good nature starter or I'll not enjoying leveling that battle pet.
Oh man 10 yr old me used chimpchar only with poison I think to beat all the way to this stage
Is it bad that 10 year old me beat Cynthia in one try by spamming Earthquake
@@selectivepontification8766 Spamming Earthquake is the best stratagy ever imo. Used it in Crystal.
Kiara using her phoenix power to revive her pokemons it's not unfair for cynthia it's a strategy XD
Is she a phoenix or do we actually have 2 necromancers in hololive?
Even with that Cynthia it is still unfai for Kiara lol, if she played alone she wouldn't know how to face Garchomp with max EV and IV honestly the best bet right now is to use Togekiss but you will need to sacrifice Roserade which is needed to kill Gastrodon but Gastrodon will be exchaged with Togekiss so i think it is better to use Togekiss than Roserade
@@axelerater that's me when I was 8 years old fighting steven in pokemon ruby I didn't know you need 6 teams in game I only got swampert and groudon in my team and If im loosing I was spamming revive
@@axelerater I thought togekiss is only available in platinum?
@@mudamuda482 u could get Togepi in Grand Undergriund
chat was always split on opinions and strategies. except for that first swords dance, chat collectively knew what was happening and was on the same page
Wow from just one Swords Dance?
@@angelredvivar 2× attack up is no joke, cynthia's garchomp also has perfect IV (well, all of her pokemon does) and yache berry for protection against super effective. I reckon it's pretty fit to kiara's lore for reviving multiple times lol
@@fbihere2 I can picture how it went down
Chat: (Screaming strategies)
Cynthia’s Garchomp: Swords Dance buff
Chat: (Calms down and all agree on what works best for the phoenix)
I just remembered that Cynthia has “perfect” pokemon
There were still some people suggesting to revive Staraptor despite that just meaning free Sword's dance for Garchomp
Kiara: Cynthia! Kill meeee!
*Gets one shotted*
Kiara: *Surprised Pikachu face*
This is like the epitome of "Too many cooks spoil the broth". Lots of chat had perfectly valid ways to win this, but Kiara ended up going with a weird mix of strategies that made it take much longer xD
Man, you weren't kidding about this fight being cursed. Can't believe she managed to pull through.
It’s more desperate then cursed
I think she is the only one to likes to be backseated... Wich didn't let her learn about the champion, but surely, still leave her a mark
@@Voldrim359 kiara has repeatedly said in the past that she wants chat to backseat so yes lol
@@greenking9124 yeah I agree, it's not cursed. Cursed would be something like what I want to do which is playing through the game with a team only using metronome.
-Dormammu- Garchomp, I've come to bargain - _Kiara's Pokemon probably_

" what do you want? "
" the championship badge for this trainer that had 30 revives and keeps reviving us for almost half an hour "
Underrated comment
SCREW THE RULES. I HAVE MONEY.
- Seto Kiara of Kiara Corp
This was a real rollercoaster of emotions xD poor Kiara. She didn't expected this battle to be that hard.
But at the end, she was able to handle...
At least it wasn't a nuzlocke
Yeah that would’ve been yet another dead run to Cynthia the run slayer lol
She had intimidate staraptor, she coulda just swapped it around a bit till it's -6 or something lol
@@jamestdfm The Garchomp had swords dance to counter that.
@@DaAzNChen The Staraptor Pivot strategy with intimidate would have been the best choice because Kiara has alot of Pokemon (Jirachi, Rapidash, Luxray, Empoleon) weak to EQ so the best move would be send in one of the 4 Switch in Staraptor, and rinse repeat, Jirachi and Empoleon easily tank a dragon Claw and Sword Dance was mostly only used after her Atk was already lowered or after EQ ran out. The AI while having good Pokemon does make alot of predictable choices. Of course seeing Kiara struggle in her own way was the correct choice overall since we got to see great content.
Stun Spore for speed/
Be killed, call other Pokémon like rapidash, change to staraptor /intimidate inmedially after that.
*Garchomp would still use earthquake thinking it would hit rapidash
Change to Jirachi
*Garchomp would use dragon claw.
*Change to staraptor again.
Stall until stun Spore/intimidate works enough (revive when oportunity).
There's one thing that Cynthia didn't count on... Phoenixes don't die... *they respawn from their ashes.*
Cynthia: By gum, this birb's tactics must be out of this world!
Kiara: *mumbling about earthquakes*
Imagine knocking someone out, but as you turn around you hear them get up and say:
*"I didn't hear no bell."*
And then imagine half a dozen of them.
The number of revives couldn't be any more on point for a lore-locked playthrough lol
Pretty sure we all fought Cynthia like that as kids. Just spamming Revives because we had no clue how to deal with her Pokemon.
And her line of "What's Garchomp?" made me realize something. Something that adds to the true *terror* of Cynthia. On a first Sinnoh Playthrough, you'll absolutely see Roserade, Gastrodon, and Lucario - they're carried by prominent Gym Leaders. In Platinum, she doesn't even have Gastrodon. The player will most likely not have gone out of their way to get a Garchomp, Togekiss, Milotic, or Spiritomb, and no AI trainer you can fight up to this point (that I know of) has one. This means that half of her team comes as a complete surprise, and, especially in the older games, it can be hard to identify their weaknesses at a glance.
holy shit and here I thought Reine's vs Cynthia was absurd
Dare I ask?
@@PervertedNovaxc3 watch hers it's also cursed but less cursed. Also we don't talk about the Ina'nis incident.
Even with the teasing, KFP working with Kiara made it so intense. I was legit jumping out my seat for every little thing lmao. I even yelled "Yes!" when she won. What a moment
Same. Tenchou's was my favorite playthrough. I loved all of them, but no one's made me as utterly stressed (positive) as Tenchou's
@@Fanimati0n Right. Her Cynthia battle is my fav so far
*Garchomp:* _"You will _*_NEVER_*_ win!"_
*Kiara:* "No, but I can _lose._ Again, and again, and again, and again, and again, forever... _And that makes you my prisoner."_
This was such an intense and chaotic battle and a rollercoaster of emotions. But in the end Kiara pulled through with everyones help and a lot of reviving and somehow that's really fitting for her.
It may not habe been the most competent fight but for sure the one that got me engaged the most. And when she DID hit that final attack I threw my hands up in celebration. What a ride...
Thank you Kowkarot for bringing attention and your wonderful editing to that top tier entertainment. :D
most of ytc telling her what to do was a trainwreck, wasn't much of any help imo
@@chewthysteak
And of course her fuckin chat window constantly broke down, too
Perfect chaos 😁
@@7shinta7 I enjoyed looking at the countless comments of useless advice, along with one small comment with actual advice during the stream lmao
@@InFiNiTeO7 don't remind me about him, I lost braincells watching chat lmao
Props to chat for not giving up and using the cheesiest strat there is to keep tenchou alive. It was so hard to focus on work while this was in the background.
when a Vtuber is fighting cynthia and be like, "What is a Garchomp?" You know that you are witnessing some golden history as it is written
Friendship = sending in friends to death but reviving them
I just love how Sana and Calli beat her with a single pokémon, and then there's Kiara.
Let's not talk about what happened to Ina....
@@Deadrocky Hit by a fright train labeled Cynthia?
@@Deadrocky You know that just makes me want to know before I watch it.
Calli spammed those X items on her garchomp lol. X items are cracked in game.
@@nil3721 X items are cracked in any game really.
The number of emotions that Kiara and chat went through with this fight. Sublime. Thank you for capturing the absolute chaos that is Chat plays Kiara plays Pokemon.
“What’s Garchomp?” Im dying
Basically Garchomp is a Pokemon that can make a Phoenix sweat a lot
So many people in the chat were doubting her and said that it’s over but she pull through in the end. She won by reviving over and over just like the majestic phoenix that she is.
"Lucario was her strongest Pokemon!" *WHEEZE*
"What's garchomp?"
D.E.A.D.
That was probably the most stressful Pokémon battle Iv ever watched
It seems like a lot of people had a relatively easy time with Cynthia because of the friendship mechanic, so I'm glad somebody got a taste of that oldschool Cynthia difficulty lmao. Never give up!!!
Cynthia is still hard as fuck even with friendship. Esp her rematch team
@@kiirei1130 Havent rematched Cynthia but does she have a Togekiss instead of a Milotic or Gastrodon?
@@angelredvivar yes first rematch is her platinum team, then on the 2nd rematch she changes Roserade for Porygon-Z
Yeah between the friendship mechanic and busted ass xp share
Its *so* much easier and the E4 and cynthia are still hard (by pokemon standards)
And without fairy type for spiritoomb.
That rickroll at the end was worth it, it's been a while since the last time!
The last time someone rickrolled me I freaking choke him to death with my thighs.
That one guy who said "this is awful" doesn't believe in the power of friendship and spam revive.
I've seen a more painful fight than this, because this is exactly how my fight against Cynthia went, except my saving grace was my Bronzong.
Kiara using her phoenix powers to its full extent
Oh didn't expect you to cover Kiara's elite 4 run so soon lol.
Wasn't the cleanest victory but was very entertaining to watch!
Poor Kiara panicking with chat flying at 100mph with right and wrong answers, but in the end the reviving Phoenix was able to take it!
By god, the Germans have mastered Russian spam warfare.
1:00 She then panicked for the remainder of the fight
17:17 That moment when you genuinely lose your mind
19:35 When you finally see the light at the end of the tunnel
At least this is her first time facing Cythia. That mean she doesn't have have truamic childhood memories of being sweep by Garchomp and spend hours grinding from level 50-ish to 60+ without modern Exp.share.
I actually grinded my Dialga to lvl.80 just to beat her lol. What a childhood trauma
I still wake up in cold sweats at night just thinking about it..
Ah the good old start with one pokemon, switch over, kill to get shared exp... Yeah the new party exp seems almost cheating
@@lootmaster1337 There are actually mods out there to adjust the Exp Share function, that’s how broken the community thinks it is.
3:53 - I watched it live. That was quite literally my reaction to Kiara using a full restore on a fainted pokemon.
I remember crying while getting all my Poké a$$ clapped by Cynthia in Pokémon Diamond run.
Kiara living her reputation as the phoenix
Kiwawa truly became the protagonist of "twitch" plays Pokémon
I kinda like how Kiara constantly revives her pokemon considering she's a phoenix
obviously the phoenix strat will work just throw your self at the enemy until he dies since you can revive anyway true to her nature till the end
i think watching this fight makes me feel similar to how chess players mustve felt about that one chess match between kiara and ame lmao watching this live made me die a little inside
cant let myself get all that worked up about it tho lol, ppl can play pokemon in whatever way works/makes it fun for them. and hey, phoenix strats did pay off in the end XD
i can confirm about the chess match
Yeah, i mean Cynthia is probably the toughest champion so i can't get too mad her team is damn good.
I may not be a great Pokemon player, but I'm pretty sure chess players felt worse. At least in the end, even if it was scuffed, this strategy worked.
In the case of chess, imagine that both Kiara and Cynthia spent ~30-120 seconds planning each move, only to (somehow) force their pokemon to hurt themselves in confusion each time, and the winner just ended up being whoever happened not to kill themselves first. And during the whole time they are saying things like, "Fire is super effective against rock-type pokemon, so I'm going to use Alakazam against Steelix. Wait what is this 'PP' thing? When did they add this to the game? I'm not used to these zoomer mechanics." That would be more similar to what the chess match is like...
Maybe that sounds a bit harsh; I think it's great that players of any level can play and enjoy chess, and the match has its own charm, but at the same time... I still feel that my analogy is quite accurate to the viewing experience.
A happy birb, what did I do to deserve such a moment
This stream of RUclips plays Kiara playing Pokemon was really hilarious af
"LET US DIE!" - The half of her team living, dying, repeating
Edge of Tomorrow: Pokemon Edition
Watched the live and the moment I saw her Roserade get one shot I knew this was going to be battle to see.
This could have been a lot smoother lol. Swapping to the flying one when about to use earthquake against one of the steel ones would have finished this earlier, in the end it is the same cheap tactic lol. That mf even has anti fairy measures and an ice damage reducing berry, truly the greatest champion.
Wow, that was very fast.
Will you make one about the sana championship massacr... I mean, battle?.
Since I did this, now I'm thinking of doing a video about every champion battle from HoloEN, since I need to wait for certain POVs for the Gym battles videos. So probably, yes.
@@Kowkarot cant wait!
thanks for your great effort kowkarot
I had this stream in the background until I heard pianos and screaming chickens where i turned into a soccer fan during FIFA season
Me: *Plays the game without in battle items*
*hears Cynthia got buffed*
Me: "Okay I'm gonna break my rules for just this one fight*
Me: *still only wins cause my pokemon endured with friendship twice in a row*
Cynthia is a monster guys...
Attrition was how I won against her in original Diamond as well. In my case, it was her Milotic that gave me the most trouble.
Didnt Cynthia have a Gastrodon instead of a Milotic in OG Pearl and Diamond?
@@angelredvivar Gastrodon was replaced by Togekiss in Platinum. BDSP has her DP team.
I distinctly remember my 10 year old self buying 50 revives and pp recovery items because I only ever levelled my starter and had a team of hm slaves and cannon fodder
Kiara became a champion despite her and chat's best efforts.
Also, stalling is the strategy I used to beat Cynthia... I just spawned X Items on my Empoleon until it could one-shot and face-tank everything.
Even though it was a chaotic fight, I loved how entertaining it was. Thanks for making this extended clip of that fight.
8:44 revival chain starts here
As someone who used this strategy for most of my playthroughs of every Pokemon game I played before gen 6, I see absolutely nothing wrong here, stalling is a pretty surefire bet if you completely blow your regular gameplay strategy
Staling is a bit more boring to watch, but I also think there is nothing wrong using it. The tools are there so it would be dumb not to use them if it is the best option.
@@IexistIguessidk oh absolutely, watching it is often suffering due to how monotonous it is, it's definitely a fall back strategy not a main one
I don't like to use stalling because i don't want my pokemon to be meat shields lol but there's nothing wrong with using it, i just get too attached to my pokemon to do it.
@Mitchy not really funny enough, or at least not in the gen 1 remakes, Daisy would always claim my bond with my pokemon was the strongest possible, for my starter at least anyway
Reviving until your opponent is exhausted - it's the phoenix way.
Never depended on power of friendship on video games but this... this changed my mind
This was a great watch live and I love that you clipped it so quick so I can relive this moment and share it with my friends. Great job as always
Kiara's eyes are like that for almost 17 mins of the vid
lmao, back and forth with chat is a headache and a half
based on that thumbnail alone before i watched the video, i thought “that’s not cursed, it’s relatable.”
She truly battled like a Phoenix
As a well animated champion of Johto once said "You cant be the champion without knowing how to spam full restores!"
She's playing on set!
I love Kiara more now
You must have so must fun, watching Kiara guide her Pokemon through life and dead.
I have the feeling that chat was responsible for this mess o.O
Funfact: switching into Roserade to Dazzling Gleam the Spiritomb, then get ohko'd by Psychokinesis was actually a carbon copy of Pekora's run lol
I guess both Tenchou and Shachou were in the same wavelength.
When she asked "What's Garchomp", I knew it's not going to go well. Congrats to Kiara for not giving up halfway.
I love your Holo Pokemon clips. Thank you so much.
8:52
She literally just said Volt Switch
ON A GARCHOMP
I'M LITERALLY DYING
Honestly her team was a big problem in this battle. 5/6 mons that would get oneshoted by earthquake, all of them slower and Luxray with no intimidate. Her only possible strat to beat garchomp without the revive fiesta was to intimidate dance with Staraptor avoiding the earthquakes directed to her other mons untill she wasted all her PP, but she didn't realize and chat just kept telling her to sacrifice everyone. It was pretty fun watching a potential garchomp sweep tho.
Well she said it herself best, she was playing for fun before all. There's no way she would've given up her Luxray for one with Intimidate, especially without knowing about it or even what it does beforehand. She also hardly knew anything about what her team was resistant to without chat's help.
As for baiting the EQs onto her Staraptor, you're right of course, but you have to realize that she had no idea what to do and chat was zooming with all types of answers. The simplest way to make her understand mid-fight how to PP stall the EQs was to tell her to keep sending her team to the slaughterhouse. She only realized halfway through that her Staraptor was immune to them, but by then the strategy was already paying off, so there was no point in telling her how to optimize it.
Overall, I know it can be frustrating to watch (I used to play competitive myself), but I don't think it's a good mindset to expect a casual player to make min-maxed plays. In the end, it made for an intense battle that she fought her way through, thanks to a joint effort with her chat, that she will likely remember for a long time, and I think it's all that matters. That being said, you might enjoy Sana's and Calli's playthroughs more, if you haven't checked them out already.
@@BlaZay My comment wasnt a complain, what I wanted to point out is that the garchomp fight was already super hard without taking into account her skill level solely by considering the tools she had avaliable without judging anything else, and that there was only one possible strat aside entering the slaughterhouse to win, as I said, I had fun watching an almost wipe.
I watched Sana and Callie's league, they are of course more experienced but their strategy for the league was basically overleveling to oblivion which honestly was pretty boring to me, Kiara and Ina were way more enjoyable to watch because there was a potential for failing. Calli still needed some thinking, at least before Cynthia, but Sana was just a oneshot fiesta with no emotion.
Stun Spore was the obvious solution to Garchomp, I dunno what chat is smoking. Paralysis cuts speed in half, then Empoleon can come in and get the easy Ice Beam kill. Just keep reviving Roserade until she successfully paralyzes. It's a much better answer than "PP Stall for 15 minutes."
Garchomp outspeed Roserade and KO in 1 hit. So it would not have been able to Paralyze.
Empoleon Ice Beam is also not sure to kill in 1 hit at that point, Garchomp has a Yache Berry which reduce from x4 effective to x2 effective for the first hit, without Crit that's ~50% of HP only.
A better use would have been to Earthquake bait with sending anyone and switching to Staraptor, that also PP Stall but saves more Revive and gets Intimidate more often, which forces it to Swords Dance and take an hit.
There's also a lot of Chat that thought her Pokemon had different Abilities, her Luxray doesn't have Intimidate, her Rapidash doesn't have Flame Body and her Roserade doesn't have Poison Point. All those would have made it easier
@@TheMyuken Roserade could have used Stun Spore when she survived on affection, something that did happen at least once in the fight anyway. Once paralysed, all of her Pokémon would outspeed Garchomp, so even if Ice Beam failed to kill, the fight would still be much easier. I’m not even saying Stun Spore would definitely work, but even if it didn’t, she’d still have been PP stalling while attempting it. She’d be doing the same thing, but with a decent chance at a quicker victory. It’s just a better option than throwing out a stray Dazzling Gleam that barely hurts it.
A second Intimidate would have been helpful, but Poison Point is pretty garbage. Flame Body would have been huge IF you could get it to activate, but that’s a big if, because Earthquake is not a contact move, so you’d have to bait it into using Dragon Claw by hard switching, and then it’s still only 30%. Poison Point is in the same difficult situation, but with even less payoff. Also, a single Swords Dance negates the attack drop from burn, so I’d still say Paralysis is the better option, since it has no way to recover the lost speed. And that’s before even considering the 25% chance it is unable to move, which is just icing in the cake.
lmfao i did a facepalm when she used full restore on a healthy pokemon trying to revive the Roserade, and immediately the editor got me
Twitch plays pokemon part got me laughing so much!
Ya know that feel when you play the later generations of Pokemon games with veteran experience and you realize all Pokemon games story modes are just so easy and they arent really challenging and exciting like it was back when you played it as a kid.
Let playing for Kiara fix that for you
u gotta use what u got. I would have quit and grind some, but I would not have the gotten the first try. Aced it despite the odds!
I see she used the Phoenix strat to win there. 😂
She really is a phoenix because her specialty is reviving.
That was a wild battle. It was truly fitting for a phoenix! Thanks for showcasing this, Kowkarot! Beautiful editing, as always 👌
The perfect strategy for a Phoenix!

Can you imagine if she had ran out of revives near the end of these 20 mins of fight time? Lol
There was enough for both Earthquake PP and Dragon Claw PP, if needed be
@@TheMyuken I meant if she didn't have as many as she did and she then died and restart from scratch. A total pain peko moment there if it did.
@@seanlocke2228 True, that would have been horrible
This battle reminded of my battle with Cynthia in Pearl
That's was really nostalgic
The game let's you use a full restore on a fainted pokemon and it skips your turn? WTF!?
That's what bothers me the most. Even the older games don't do that!
Idiot tax
It's pretty thematic that the Phoenix won by dying and reviving constantly, to be quite honest.
God-Tier editing. Really good video
Brilliant edit thanks for uploading this was a lot of fun watching this live
Still not as scuffed as when I carried my buddies ass through the entire elite 4 and Cynthia with his underleveled team
