To check out their battle, just click on the video cards ("!")

Main goal of these video concept ideas:
My main goal for these kind of videos is to be as creative as possible!
Let me explain:
- Firstly, my very first channel Mixeli (But also my latest one Volipok) post tons of Gameplays from Every Generation (Which once again was played and recorded by myself in it's entirety. It took me many years of works.)
My video have Educational Value and let me explain why: It does provide help to the user who watch the video. One of the few example for that is which musics is played from my gameplays. It could easily be found on video cards (The exclamation mark "!" you see on the video above at the right) and vice versa. (This mean that on this video for example, you could also find my actual battle gameplays of where this music is played)
- Secondly, My video are transformative enough, I took the time to play the game and recording the musics. I took the time to improve it's original quality using Vegas Pro. Thanks to a program called "Track EQ" that you can find on Vegas Pro.
This program allow the user to enhance it's original quality and further improving it. This need concentration as each version has different audio quality.
- Thirdly and as you have noticed: On each Generation, I use different background that I bought on a website called Shutterstock. (Which I have bought at least 336 pictures background, just so I can become as creative as possible and also work on a lot of different style using those background)
This kind of concept was created by myself since 2011. Today it has become one of the main concept of my channel that I personally created.
- Lastly is to bring the community together. I have noticed that so many people are commenting and giving their opinions on the video, sharing their experience about characters from the game, confirming theory, saying funny stuff and I find this extremely amazing and interesting! I don't want their comment to be unnoticed so I have plan for the future of my content about commenting and sharing their experience on videos that I will produce one day!
I think I explained everything now. Enjoy and have a great day!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All musics, gameplay and content included within this video are transformative, creative, have educational value and this recording are from my own gameplay. I'm also the one that created that concept video ideas. No copyright infringement is intended.

Their version are better than mine for sure.
Nah yours was better IMO
I think yours is more epic
Yeah
yeaaahhhh, i do like this one better
still an amazing job on yours though

Cynthia: Who are you?
Pokemon player: You ended my Nuzlocke.
Cynthia: Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
LOL

BDSP Cynthia: I don’t even know who you are
Nuzlocke Vet: You will

@@tobysceptiman7058 You mean the beep sound effect? I just went and checked the gameplay and that's the only thing I've noticed. Even then, the HP bar in the originals didn't really affect the theme that much unlike gen 5.

~Cynthia's Garchomp after learning Poison Jab
The cinematic climax my battle with her this time around had... It was down to her Garchomp, and she'd KO'd half my party already. A dragon claw scraped away most of my Torterra's hp, but he held strong. Didn't even get him down to one hp. But it was plenty for Overgrow to activate, and even if Wood Hammer's recoil didn't exist, Garchomp's rough skin was enough to scrape away the last of Bogard's hp. Such a cool moment, seeing both of our aces go down simultaneously.
Lmao in my situation it was only her garchomp left as well and she had already sword danced twice but torterra survived via friendship and kod w wood hammer as well, would have been swept otherwise
@@jesusochoa6821 is wood hammer only available through TM?
@@fantasan8540 nope! U have to use a heart scale and go to the move reminder in pastoria
Her Garchomp was running through all of my weakened Pokemon even without swords dance. My only fresh Pokemon was my Garchomp, but he was 3 levels lower. I knew her dragon claw would OHKO, so I switched in Staraptor first for the intimidate. I tanked the dragon claw and finished her off with my own. Truly poetic.
this is exactly what happened with me except i had earthquake
Remembering how the remake announcement made me afraid that they'd nerf her
Learning that she's just as, if not more, capable makes me smile.
Here's to a whole new generation of kids who get to learn the true meaning of fear
Can confirm, she was just as good in the remake. also got my sister to play it and she HATES cynthia dude. been procrastinating since her 3rd attempt.

@@Alexgodofwar5662 honestly same i mean other than the fact milotic took forever to kill her team was fairly easy atleast her garchomp was it went down with one ice punch from abomasnow since it used swords dance first. If anything garchomp was the easiest part. If the older version is anything like this one i don't see how she is so scary.
@@mesa8680 Cynthia's old garchomp version has a garbage moveset
Dragon rush
Brick break
Swords dance
Earthquake
I've always been a fan of Wormadam. So in this game, I've had one on my team ever since I had access to the honey trees and got a Burmy. It was my main mon, being able to destroy anything if it set up Quiver Dance, but oft being destroyed just as quickly itself. Nonetheless I raised it as my own.
But when the Cynthia battle finally came up, I knew it was a bit unrealistic to bring her into a battle that brutal. So I went in with my other mons, and got beat in a close match.
At this point, I thought I had nothing to lose. I might as well just try something fun and drastic. Hey, what if I could win with just my darling Wormadam? That'd be funny.
And it was.
I sent out Wormadam first on my second attempt. Luckily, Spiritomb couldn't do literally anything against a Bug/Steel type with Sucker Punch and Shadow Ball. This left my Wormadam safe to set up Quiver Dance... six times. She now had enough strength and speed to outspeed and one-shot all of Cynthia's team. And she did. Six turns, four Bug Buzzes, Two Psychics, and it was done. Wormadam alone had beaten Cynthia.
Moral of the story: Fight with the Pokemon you love. Love will find its way to victory.
Karen would approve of your actions.
Yep my Chimecho swept 4/6 of Cynthia's team with Charge Beam, Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, and Reflect. Absolute beast
chad+based+using pokemon you love+no psedo legends+solo sweep+upvoted+your dad never left+you have bitches+W
Other moral of the story: Boosting moves are op lol
I did something very similar with beautifly.
I will never forget Batbird the Crobat. He tanked 3 Garchomp hits, giving me time to revive most of my party, allowing us the win on our first try
Your sacrifice was not in vain soldier.
Same for Webby, my Golduck. She held on long enough for me to heal up Little Foot the Torterra and finally take down that Garchomp. Thank you Webby.
@@EdwardNewgate58 thats amazing, but can I just say, Webby is an amazing name for a Golduck lool
My crobat was the only one alive in my team,garchomp used dragon claw, got crobat to red then my crobat killed it with an air cutter
@@r34dood Lol, I named most of my Pokémon based on cartoon and anime characters. Others I gave never nicknames based on pop cultural things or based on their looks. Simba the Luxray, Sora the Togekiss, Titan the Staraptor, Lyric the Kricketune, Shadow the Weavile, Malware the Rotom, Nemo the Manaphy, the list goes on!
My Togekiss got crit by poison jab and almost went down, survived on about 5-7 hp and then got a crit of her own, ending the Garchomp
I never hated Full restore as much as in this fight
Same
Lance: You can't be Champion of the Pokemon League if you don't spam Full Restore!
@@Facade953 love that vid
@@redskywalker4642 Same here!😀
Me when she uses three full restores in a row:
I exclusively build Ice type teams when I play these games. It makes some of the earlier gyms a bit tougher, but the dragon gyms are all late game and I breeze past them. I thought Cynthia wouldn't be too tough since her biggest threat can be taken out with any decent Ice attack. Big fucking mistake. I started with Weaville who was able to freely get 3 Swords Dance's off against Spiritomb then proceeded to sweep Cynthia's entire team. I got up to Garchomp and was confident my Jolly Weaville would just outspeed it despite the level disadvantage.
So it turns out Cynthia has a Jolly, max IV and EV Garchomp. He proceeds to sweep half my team including my Weaville. No biggie, I send out Mamoswine and use Ice Shard for priority. Of fucking course Garchomp is holding a Yache Berry. Ending up having to blow multiple max revives to finally bring it down with my final pokemon (an Abomasnow also with a priority Ice Shard). This max speed Garchomp was ridiculous and almost wiped me, and this is after I cheesed through the other 5 Pokemon on her team. It legitimately OHKOed on every single attack against my Pokemon.
Thank god for priority moves
Ohhh, finally I understand why he was faster than my Froslass 😂
Didn't know Cynthia had been canonically laddering Smogon since Platinum came out
Thank god ice shard exist or else you get f*ck up out of the league lmao😆
Oh yeah cause Earthquake won’t one hit wonder them at all!
Well that Garchomp is not max speed evs, it has 204 spd evs, making it the second fastest Pokemon league enemy with 212 actual speed, the fastest one is the Alakazam with only 252 speed evs (reaching like 230 ish) but still Garchomp has the 252 atk (making it have 238 actual atk) and the rest went into its bulk with 52 hp
I was heading into this battle prepared to take her down. Remembering the trauma she gave me as a child back in 2007. Now 14 years later, I was much more experienced in battling. Knew all the typing advantages. All was going well until her garchomp came out. I thought I was prepared for it. Boy was I wrong. As soon as that garchomp came out, it swept through my whole team. It out sped everything I had. I almost had it beat when I attempted to use ice fang on it with my floatzel. Of course, it has to miss and garchomp got off a swords dance. From there it was over. I used everything I can to try and beat it. Revives, max revives, full restores, max potions, no matter what combination of healing I did to try and counter her garchomp, none of it worked. And just like when I was a child, I lost to Cynthia once more. I beat her on my 2nd attempt, but just barely. All of my team members were down except for my Torterra who was at full health. Garchomp got 2 swords dance off prior to me getting him in though, so I had little to no hope of him surviving anything. Luckily, prior to switching in Torterra, my floatzel got off a crunch, which luckily lowered its defense. Floatzel went down, but his work would not be forgotten as my Torterra lived an earthquake by 1 HP thanks to affection. My Torterra landed it’s own earthquake on it, KO’ing garchomp from a little less than half health. If floatzel never got that defense drop from crunch, I definitely would’ve lost again. I can honestly say I have never had this much trouble with any champion since I was a kid. Coincidentally, it was against the same champion who gave me troubles as a child and still did at 23 years old. I haven’t rematched her yet in these games, but when I do, I know the even bigger threat that I’m up against this time. I will update this comment once I battle her for the 2nd time. Until then, I’ll be preparing for her
Holy shit what a madlad, honestly makes me feel bad for picking piplup as a starter: but at the same time I'm happy I'm going to battle her with my favorite mons regardless of all odds (managed to pull a good strategy so far, wish me luck lmfao)
@@bashattack2414 yeah man. I went into this game with the intention of using my original team that I assembled back in gen 4. Regardless of the underground pokemon, I still wanted to use my og team. You got this man, just gotta strategize a bit when it comes to Cynthia
I just gave a quick claw to my empoleon and used ice beam twice had to revive it around 3 times tho :|
Did you beat her?
@@Hib1Zm0 the quick claw almost never works when you need it to the most lol
Y’all talking about her Garchomp being hard while that damn Milotic of hers can withstand a supernova….🥴
Marvel Scale was the bane of my existence that fight.
@@eddyzeddy5573 And all my counters for Milotic were special...

Garchomp was a little bitch who went down to one moonblast from my gardevoir
Milotic stalled me for half an hour. Thank god for my gastrodon
To run w/ the "supernova" joke, that means her Milotic could take down Sephiroth no problem :V
People thought it would be easy because of fairy types, but i always knew it wouldn't. Garchomp can learn poison jab and iron head, there was no way it would be that easy. Most of fairy types are slow
Exactly. I was saying this from the very start, the only one of her Pokémon that's actually screwed by Fairy is Spiritomb.

@@bestbro7773 I stalled the everloving hell out of her Garchomp with a Staraptor/Dusclops swap. Baited Earthquake with Dusclops while switching out to Staraptor, who Intimidated.

BDSP may not have been the remake I wanted but it certainly gave me closure. I never beat the original Pearl legitimately I had to cheat to beat her and by the time Platinum came I never bothered with the originals. Now almost 15+ years later I face her again as a proper and better Trainer and finally come out on top legitimately. Thank you BDSP for giving me the second chance.

The fact she not only dethroned Red as the strongest trainer, but also switches to her platinum team in rematches is top tier. The queen is back.
Volo: Creeps up in Arceus
Wasn't the Platinum team (back then at least) a nerf tho, due to removing the bulky snail with one weakness?
@@d4rksonic474 Well. She already had a Ground and a Water type. So Gastrodon overlapped typewise. Togekiss gives her more type balance.
At a competitive stand point yes Cynthia has dethroned Red, though when it comes to levels both of them have lvl 88 Pokemon as the highest then you remember Red uses a Pikachu.
Technically, not a complete switch to the Platinum team. She has a Porygon-Z in her final Rematch. Even with just one single appearance, I can confidently say that Porygon-Z has made its place as one of the best Pokémon of Cynthia. In fact, somehow I feel replacing her Spiritomb (one of her most iconic Pokemon) with Porygon-Z just makes her platinum team so much better because Porygon-Z complements her team so well.
So Porygon-Z, Roserade, Lucario, Togekiss, Milotic and Garchomp. This would be her strongest team.
I am actually genuinely impressed by this theme, it may even top the original.
Ok let's not get carried away
True
I wouldn't go that far now.
Personally find the music in the remakes to be the best of the Sinnoh region, mostly because the soundfont is prettier
Nah, I think this is a bit weaker tbh. Obviously they had the base of a fantastic song, but this version feels kinda… neutered? At least in certain parts anyways. I dunno, just feels a bit less intimidating.
A summary of my fight with Cynthia:
Spiritomb: Took a few Dazzling Gleams from Togekiss but it went down:
Roserade: OHKOed by Glaceon. Tension is still high because I feel as though I'm being lured into a false sense of security.
Lucario: Now this guy have me war flashbacks to Maylene. She was the hardest Gym Leader I ever faced in Sinnoh and her Lucario was MONSTROUS. I wanted vengeance against the Lucario kind for my poor Vulpix getting constantly murdered by Maylene's Lucario, so I sent out Ninetales. I get Lucario down to red health, but Cynthia then switches to...
Gastrodon: I've been dreading this thing for my whole playthrough. Perhaps even more than Garchomp. Why? Well, it was my main grinding Pokémon in the Grand Underground for a long while and it would always destroy my team. And it's a vulky Water/Ground Type, presumably with Earthquake and my only Grass Type attacks are Grass Knot and Ninetales' Energy Ball. I even gave Ninetales a Rose Incense just to boost The Flamethrower that I meant to hit Lucario with did nothing and then I found out it had Leftovers? Oh. This is going to suck. I selected Energy Ball, preparing for the worst, AAAAAAAND- it was a OHKO. Biggest anticlimax of my playthrough.
Milotic: Pachirisu was my main 'mon to deal with her and we pretty much reached a stalemate. Scald wasn't doing anything to Pachirisu, Thunderbolt wasn't doing anything to Milotic. So I thought "This is going to take a while." I thought I could perhaps get Cynthia to waste all her Full Restores on Milotic, but then she started using Recover, so I switched to using Super Fang. Super Fang, Recover, Super Fang, Recover. Rinse repeat. Then I stopped using Super Fang when it was in yellow health and risked using a Thunderbolt. If I didn't hit, then Milotic might have used Scald this time and knock Pachirisu out. But Thunderbolt was enough and Milotic went down.
Lucario: it was still red health so I thought I'd shake things up and use Lopunny. Cynthia uses a Full Restore. Lopunny uses Drain Punch and gets it down to yellow health. Then weirdly it uses a stat buffing move instead of actually attacking and I finish it off. Which is exactly how won against Maylene.
Garchomp. I made my mind up. I wanted to beat Garchomp with my Starter. So I used the rest of my team to whittle him down. Glaceon fainted to use up its Yache. I tried to Ice Beam it with Empoleon, but Garchomp outsped and Earthquaked it to death. Cue montage of Garchomp slaughtering Empoleon, Pachirisu, Togekiss and Lopunny. Lopunny survived getting OHKOed twice with one HP, but then when I used Strength, Garchomp had Rough Skin???? Bye, Lopunny! During this massacre Garchomp used Swords Dance and it gave me Maylene flashbacks (again) of getting swept faster than I could revive my team.
And just when all hope seemed lost: "Peppy avoided the attack with your shout!" Ice Beam AAAAND it's over! PEPPY, SWEETHEART, MY BELOVED STARTER!!!!!! YOU DID IT! AAAAAAAH!!!!
My starter in my second playthrough is also called Peppy, lol. Mine is a Turtwig. And you're absolutely right about Maylene, her Lucario can sweep. Only beat her after my Torterra learned earthquake.
I must say... I've got overconfident in this battle, and of course, Cynthia whiped out my whole team lmao. The game was so easy until the league, that I thought "meh, I won't gonna farm for lvl (my team was lv 56~58)" but when I saw that every pokemon had an item, I ended up like "WHAT???". Was a very fun battle tho
Why would u ever think cynthia would be easy huh??????
The first WTH moment was Aaron’s Flame Orb Heracross. It one-shooted two of my mons.
As someone who never played the originals (part of the main reason why I really wanted to get BDSP), I felt the same way! "Well I breezed through the gyms and Team Galactic with very little resistance, this should be no problem". Boy, was I ever wrong.
The difficulty curve spikes up a fair bit between the final gym and the league. So if you’re new, it might be a surprise when you get to the elite four only for the challenge to ramp up when the game up to that point has been relatively easy (or not too challenging).
I felt a little overleveled, sweeping through Volkner like it was nothing, and I did the same to Aaron. Then Bertha came out, K.Oed one pokemon, had me a little shook.
Then Flint came in and changed me with that Drifblim. Only that Drifblim.
After that I kinda just went to Lucian with a blood list and swept him with a little luck
The fact that Cynthia and E4 have actual competitive teams make them more difficult than in the original-. It’s actually nuts. I’m planning on doing a nuzlocke of this game after my first playthrough, and good lord I’m going to be overleveling for this fight. No questions asked. x’D
I went into this with zero level grinding, and a plan to set up and sweep with Togekiss. Lead with Luxray, set up light screen, then take out Spiritomb with physical moves. Togekiss lives a sludge bomb and froze Roserade with tri attack, then maxed out my special attack with nasty plot. Togekiss takes out everyone until I get hit by Garchomp's crit poison jab. Then my team gets swept. But my last Pokemon Honchkrow stole the show at the last second, because she used swords dance the same turn I used foul play. Foul play does more damage the higher the opponent's attack stat is. So she made my foul play powerful enough to one shot her Garchomp. Crazy fun battle!
>Tri Attack, a Normal type move
>Spiritomb, a Ghost/Dark type mon

@@christopherhewitt84 bad memory, forgive me. I took out the Spiritomb with my luxray, then froze her roserade with tri attack. Then while roserade was frozen, I set up. Spiritomb was gone so quick I forgot about them.

Fairy types and Ice types: Guess I'll die.
Weavile with Knock Off can get rid of that yache and hopefully survive at least one hit. Just gotta have the right nature and EVs
This theme being remade to include more spacy synths makes me like this because it still has the original grounded instrumentals with the spacy sounds that remind you of the theme of the legendaries
She's the only one who made me genuinely worried about losing in Brilliant diamond
and I lost at first, my pokémon were underleveled even though I ended the E4 quite easily 😔😔
now we know that kicking ass runs in the family
At least Cynthia isn't attempting to actually kill you by siccing Satan on you
So this is the “final boss music” that we all hear when she sends out that Garchomp to sweep us
You’re here too 😭
Don’t forget her rematch
My lumineon some how dodged 2 earthquakes so they yache berry activated an ice beam did a quarter then she set up swords dance then she earthquaked lumineon dodged it then she healed ice beam did half then I dodged a second earthquake and then next turn I finished it off with a second ice beam that was more lucky then when I froze her garchomp with my azumarill in my platinum playthrough
You'll only be able to hear the music for 5 seconds before your entire team has fainted.
Yup, literally the one and only Time I’ve ever lost to a champion of of fracking course Cynthia, surprised yes but nope not really and took a bite from a bullet to fight her for vengeance 😤, most worth it, god I love this game and champion 👏
Nobody:
Me: Perish Song on Garchomp 😎
I have been a Pokemon fan since I was a child, but I did not play the main videogames until two years ago. Since then, I have been playing competitive battles in a weekly basis, reaching master ball rank without any troubles every month, and I have participated in the official online tournaments getting decent results. I am far from being the best but I consider myself experienced in competitive battles and teambuilding. When this game came out, I was so excited to try it. Although I was playing in a casual way, I tried to keep my team as balanced as possible: levels 60-65, my mons will cover each other weaknesses, competitive movesets but without optimal EVs and IVs (they don't really matter unless you are doing a nuzlocke or participating in tournaments). When the time come to face Cynthia, I finally wanted to see if the legends were true. I thought that players were probably over-exaggerating because they were inexperienced in battling when they were child. Oh boy, I was wrong. They were right all along. Cynthia destroyed me in my first battle. I genuinely thought I was facing a real person in masterball: their mons were properly trained with good coverage moves, optimal EVs and IVs and she was doing intelligent switches when she was in disadvantage. She has to be the strongest trainer in the whole franchise. I ended up beating her and her Garchomp in the second battle using a common strategy used in competitive double battles: intimidate spam haha.
Cynthia: wanna see me traumatize a generation.
Wanna see me do it again
Fun fact: Avalanche has a NEGATIVE priority. And I was confused how her garchomp was faster than my weavile.
Huh I didn't know that actually. Her Garchomp could probably outspeed you anyways tho cuz it's EV trained with max IVs
@@gatr2897 Not in the first battle, tho.
I think the initial battle there are only IVs (perfect ones)
@@Oscarus4250 I’m quite sure her pokemons are EV trained in the first battle, too
@@nickstar8641 They are indeed fully EV trained and have perfect IV's for all of her battles. So be ready for a hellish fight no matter what.
@@nickstar8641 Okay, I was wrong.
I datacheck and in the first battle her Garchomp has 31 IV, 204 EV and Jolly
I built my team throughout Brilliant Diamond knowing I had this battle coming. Yet I was still so unprepared and she destroyed me. Grinded until I was "ready". Had a full team with only her Garchomp left. It very quickly wiped out most of them. In steps my Crowbat, the real MVP. Manages to take a few hits and evade enough for me to force her full restore and then lower its HP again. Crowbat feints which leaves my Garchomp that is 1 level lower than hers. Knowing she would out speed me I needed a miracle, quick claw didn't. She hits me with a dragon claw after having sword danced. I almost cried when it popped up "Garchomp held on so you wouldn't feel sad". One dragon claw of my own and she was finally beaten.
This battle is the first battle to give me Red vibes from when I was a young kid playing Pokemon Gold.
POV: You decide to enter that one house in Undella Town
Player: Hmm, I think I shall pop in and have a friendly visit with the lucky citizen living here.
Cynthia: *Oh? You're approaching me?*
I think you could refuse the fight if I remember correctly.
Ptsd ensues
Now I’m scared of the eventual Unova remakes.
I swear if they make that match a FORCED match in the remakes people are gonna know true fear
Oh, more nightmares. Thanks, Pokeli!
"It's a modern pokemon game, Cynthia wouldn't be as hard!" Me before getting washed and folded by Cynthia 20 times
Me: "With my full knowledge of competitive Pokemon, I managed to beat Cynthia easily. My long nightmare... is over.
Cynthia in the rematches: "Are you sure about that?"
And then there's Volo in Legends Arceus
You don't beat Cynthia.
You survive her.
Cynthia DPPT: Who are you?
Cynthia BDSP: I'm you, but stronger.
I cheesed the battle with potions and revives like a filthy casual, no EV training and no real strategy, but the highlight for me was how my shiny Chimeco took her Milotic like a champ 😢. I found the little Chingling the first time I entered Mt. Coronet, it didn't even register in my brain for the first seconds that it was a shiny (Chingling has a very lame shiny, almost identical to the original), and almost hit run... but the delayed reaction in my brain told me I heard the spark. I went to a wiki to confirm it was shiny, and still with doubts and only normal Pokeballs at my disposal, I catched it. I was so happy, so many years of countless random wild Pokémon pestering me in caves finally paid off, I got a full odds post-gen 5 shiny without even hunting...
...and when no one in my team was able to stand against Cynthia's Milotic, this little now Chimeco was there to save the day (with a little cheese, but still).
Sorry, this is one of the few times I really got attached to a Pokémon, I get teared up a little bit
Pokemon Diamond was my first ever Pokemon game, i asked for one of the remakes for Christmas and my parents who didn't really know about it bought Brilliant Diamond... These songs bring nostalgy tears from me... When i hear them i wish i could go back to those good old blissful days...
Ash Ketchum Get ready for the battle of your life
He won!
@@wikiuser92 no he survived
@@nickwilliams904 Cynthia was going all out. Ash won by doing the same.
@@wikiuser92 you missed the joke
@@Harmtronic No I didn't. I just wasn't sure if it was said ironically or not.
After breezing through this entire game, I was definitely not expecting the elite 4 and Cynthia to be one of the most challenging experiences in my entire time playing Pokémon. They’re so insanely strong, and it makes me wish the rest of the game was like this. Cynthia and her competitive strats make her up there with red and ultra necrozma as one of the toughest fights in the series
I kid you not, I went into the fight with a team that i didn't think could do it.
Lead off with Roserade to deal with Spiritomb, two shot with Dazzling Gleam, tanked a Psychic.
Had my Torterra one shot both her Gastrodon and Milotic.
For her Roserade, I used Staraptor and one shot it with Fly.
Kept Staraptor in for Lucario, got off a Close Combat which did over half, then got one shot with a crit Flash Cannon.
So I just brought in a Luxray and spammed Discharge until it died.
*oh boy is time for satan's creation to come out*
I started with Roserade to get an Attract so Satan's creation would attack less.
It worked, but was immediately one shot by Earthquake.
Since half my team was weak to that demon, I brought out the only pokemon that could hopefully tank a few attacks and deal some damage back, Torterra, who I nicknamed Jimmy.
I decided to start with an Earthquake, which worked but he also took a lot of damage back with Dragon Claw.
I knew I had to heal a bit, so I went for Giga drain.
Then what happened?
*"Jimmy landed a critical hit, wishing to be praised!"*
Jimmy the Torterra KO'D Cynthia's Garchomp.
Hence why Torterra is my favourite Pokemon.
ur welcome for my traumatic experience :>
My torterra in one of my playthroughs suffered from milotic because of that damn ice beam
I just finished Shining Pearl and have come here to pay my tribute to this amazing Game, and this amazing Champion.
Cynthia creamed me four times before I managed to 3v1 her Garchomp via intimidate cheese before Napoleon the Empoleon finished that monster of a Garchomp off. Seriously, Cynthia was one my first white-out in... I literally cannot remember when. As someone who hasn't played Gen 4 until now, I thought Cynthia was a bit overrated.
*I was wrong.*
0:49 You’ll be hearing this again before you get PTSD in Legends Arceus.
Here's everyone talking about her Garchomp tearing up everyone.
Bro, my Nuzlocke was swept away in one sentence.
"The opposing Lucario used Nasty Plot!"
Diamond/Pearl Cynthia: Not very balanced.
Platinum Cyinthia: It was nerfed but...STILL HARD
Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl Cynthia: HOLD MY PERFECT EVs, IVs, AND MY HELD ITEMS
The fact Palmer uses this theme instead of the battle frontier theme is like a slap to the wrist.
Yet they took the time to add Dawn/Lucus’s battle. Something that was not a thing in Sapphire/Pearl/Platnium.
Battle frontiers? More like battle fron-tears 2.0
I'm so annoyed that people complain about that. Palmer uses this theme in DP as well.
@@wikiuser92 Yeah he did, but damn that Battle Tower boss music in Platinum was a banger, should've remixed that since Giratina's Platinum battle theme is in-game.
@@AsianRailgun It wasn't used for the regular Giratina, though. Just like how Palmer didn't use the Frontier Brain theme until he actually became a Frontier Brain.
1:20 Ah yes, the part where Reshiram makes a cameo and howls alongside the music. Gotta love it
In all seriousness, who would have thought that bringing 2 layers of Spikes would actually put Garchomp in just enough health to get 2HKO by my Gyarados's +1 Waterfall ? To think those Spikes had beaten Spiritomb when it switched back in while it had red health... Glalie, your sacrifice was well worth it !
1:20 is the intro of Distortion World theme
Spikes can be used twice?
@@meta527II Up to three times actually. Getting 3 layers of spikes is easier said than done, but if you can do it, grounded Pokémon loses a quarter of their health when switching in.
game, set, lipstick, match!
Fun fact: Her Milotic has a flame orb and the unique ability to to super-buff defense stats when afflicted with a status condition. So if your sweeper Luxrays are getting bullied by it, that's why.
Uh, no, Marvel Scale only boosts physical defense. I used the same strategy to wall Garchomp on Platinum.
@@gengarzilla1685pretty sure Milo is Max HP Max SPDef 😂
@@AlldaylongRock actually it's max hp and max DEF, on top of a flame orb.
It's insane. It's absolutely insane.
To give a clearer idea, if an Electivire gets burnt by Scald, it does only 20% damage to this Milotic with Wild Charge.
And this thing has recover.
And mirror coat
@@nishant9289 Tbf Milo has great base SpDef. And then punishes special attackers with Mirror Coat, just so it then shrugs off the damage with Recover..
That thing is thicc😂
They went hard with this Cynthia team
I just come from listening to Volo's theme. I must say, there is indeed a resemblance there. The Pokemon company really pulls off that they are related.
Like kingdom hearts did with Xehanort themes....
0:38 of the theme onward is used for Volo, along with Cynthia's encounter theme for the first half
Congratulations Ash Ketchum, on defeating the strongest champion ever!!!
Leon: *Allow me to introduce myself.*
@@wikiuser92 Leon's team isn't built for competitive play, and doesn't use held items. Cynthia's is and does. She's the superior trainer, despite what the anime tells us.
@@Potterholic1 the anime ain’t the most reputable source since Leon did just absolutely demolish Alain and dianthus
@@pokeplayer6770 The games were my source for Cynthia's strength compared to Leon, FYI.
@@Potterholic1 ik
They made her harder. Gave all her 'mon held items and she actually Switches out 'mon when at a disadvantage.
I played without healing in battle, set mode, no overleveling and the fight took me 4 tries before I barley scraped by.
i did similar but managed to win at my first try by building my team more or less around it, my team was garchomp, houndoom, milotic, froslass, lucario and gardevoir, it went down up to a 1v1 of milotic and garchomp where i had to bank it on a burn proc from scald, which i got and that let me survive a +2 EQ to kill with ice beam, damn it was such an intense and thrilling battle
She switches out? I didn't see that, even when I put my Torterra against Gastrodon.
@@gengarzilla1685 she does at times, i once got switched from roserade into Lucario when I had my own Lucario on the field
@@gengarzilla1685 Yea, Not sure how the A.I. works, but she Switched out several times during my battle with her and it was always to her benefit.
And then her great great grandfather made the battle 10000x harder.
Cynthia:
Ultra Necrozma:
BEING DIFFICULT AF AND HAVING A BANGER THEME:
For everyone who struggled with her the first time, have fun with the rematches they are brutal
@Merciless Freak stop saying she was easy because that's not the case for most people. Any battle can be eay with the right pokemon
they did a great job with this theme imo. really sells the “cynthia is an adrenaline junkie and wants this battle to go as long as possible” idea
If i had not included Mamoswine in my party nearly at the end of the game, i would still be trying to beat her
Let’s go!! My boi Ash Ketchum just beat a champion that’s haunted me for many years!
People online: Yeah, Cynthia isn't that strong when you consider other Champions.
Cynthia during her interview for the upcoming remake: And I took that personally.
The war flashbacks are coming back to me
I’m not ashamed at admitting it took me 6 tries at beating Cynthia. When I was a Kid I had the help of Palkia so it didn’t take as long as it did. Plus a as kids you wanna have the cool Pokémon on my team (don’t try and say Dialga’s better, I don’t care). This time around I went in with the team I felt had the best chance at victory in the first try, plus I’ve had this team since the beginning; Infernape, Luxray, Crobat, Staraptor, Roserade, and Gastrodon. With this team I was able to easily beat the Elite Four with no problems on my first attempt and the attempts after (slight problem with Lucian by my own part). Cynthia’s Spiritomb is the obstacle meant to wear down PP, and if you’ve got a Pokémon that can’t take more than 2 hits from Spiritomb, you’re certain to meet your end. I lost to Garchomp 4 times, and Lucario once. She has perfect counters for each of her Pokémon, if there’s a type disadvantage facing her, she WILL take it down, or bring it close to down forcing you to heal before the next Mon. If Lucario is able to pull off a Nasty Plot, or Garchomp pulls of a Swords Dance and you don’t have a plan… Accept defeat… it’s game over. They’re faster than you, my fastest member is Crobat and it had 200+ speed at the time, and that stat’s not boosted by its nature. At the 6th try, I just wanted to beat Cynthia and play the postgame, so I ended up using Battle Items to beef up my Luxray and single-handedly use him to take down her Pokémon. I used X Sp. Def to withstand Spiritomb’s Sp. Atks while I set up, X Speed to ensure I was the fastest no matter what Pokémon she used, and X Attack to beef up Luxray’s already great Attack and sweep her team.
“HD Garchomp isnt real, he cant hurt you”
HD Garchomp:
Barely HD, game looks blurry as hell when docked.
This doesn't hit as hard in the remakes but it still fills you with dread as you know you are facing off against the strongest champion in the entire franchise.
This hits pretty different knowing that *Volo makes Cynthia look easy*
ha. ha. hahahahaha. ha.
WHY?
Really? I had a much easier time with Volo than Cynthia.
I felt so happy when I beat volo. Then giritina appeared and two shotted my half health vaporeon (I didn't get to move and she was my only pokemon left)
I overlevelled my teams in both games.
I was a little too overpowered against Volo.
Cynthia bamboozled me with that fucking Garchomp set. My Obamasnow got lucky by dodging a Poison Jab with max affection before scoring a winning Blizzard.
@@aethix1986 me too. I mean Volo was still really maddeningly difficult, but not as hard as Cynthia.
The same music when my palkia died to a spiritomb 💀
Another great rendition of Cynthia’s theme. It lacks the heavy bass that the original had, but it still hypes you up to battle her just the same.
I fail to see anything bad in this theme.
@@wikiuser92 corporate shill
@@wikiuser92 There's always possible improvements, that's just kissing Nintendo's ass
@@burritobison7700 So anyone who disagrees with your opinion on game music is a corporate shill?
@@ExtraordinaryFate I meant as in, this theme is perfectly good and shouldn't be judged as inferior or superior to the original without a second thought.
My first battle with her:
*Cynthia sends out Garchomp*
"Ok, I'll just- WAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS THING HAS SWORDS DANCE?!"
Me: Okay Mamoswine, only Garchomp left! This is i-
Garchomp: *Uses sword dance*
Me: QUICK KILL IT, KILL IT, *KILL IT-*
Garchomp: *Survives avalanche thanks to it's berry and one shots mamoswine*
Me: *FUCKFUCKFUCKFU-*
Ash finally defeated her!
im here cause ash vs cynthia is happing on pokemon journeys episode 123 😀😀
A couple years ago I found your channel looking up Cynthia's theme. Today I get to listen to her updated/remastered theme, once again, on your channel. Thanks for always uploading Pokemon music throughout the years! Happy to be subbed for over six years now :)
This champion was the first ever one to ever actually beat me (i usually over-level) and i had to sit there and contemplate my life choices to ignore all the warnings about this particular champion. Well Done Cynthia you terrifying being- well done inducing me with fear for your rematch
Up against Cynthia’s garchomp, the strongest Pokémon in the history of the franchise
My roserade be like
T O X I C
It was when I was listening to this song that I realized something. The way they made Volo's theme sound in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it sounds enough like its own song to sound like Cynthia's theme has bits taken from Volo's theme, instead of the other way around. If that didn't make sense, it sounds a bit more like Cynthia's theme is the remixed one, instead of Volo's. And I suppose that makes sense, given that Volo is Cynthia's ancestor.
Fun fact: this is how you scare sinnoh and unova fans
Even though it's only the music and not the actual battle itself, I can STILL hear Spiritomb's cry. It's like engraved in my head
My main strategy for her rematch garchomp was me just switching registeel and togekiss over and over again until he ran out of pp on poison jab. That and on her first fight I had to stall her milotic with my tentacruel as I had nothing else to kill it with,as I sat there chucking pokeballs at it while it slowly died to burn through 10 recovers.
Fun times
Cynthia broke my winning streak
And thats if I count several previous generations
Everyone complaining on how her Garchomp is tough, nah bro her Milotic is a piece of shit to get through.
Who's here that wanted to compare volo's and Cynthia's theme
All gen 4 and 5 players: *ptsd intensifies*
