Everyone hates on Kahili, but I'm gonna give her due credit. Her non-involvement in the story aside, her innovative use of Flying types surprised me. The last thing I expected was entry-hazards, confusion, and flinch-stalling as her main techniques. Worthy of the Elite Four, in my opinion.
Renzo she isn't a League Champion. back in the old days, people who cleared all of the trials and defeated all four Kahunas in a row were called Island Challenge "Champions". Kahili was one of them. And then Kukui and the Pokemon League happened.
@@jonathano503 Aye. Because Marriland's first Sun Nuzlocke, that damn sandcastle and the damn yuki-onna killed Geum the Muk (Earth Power at 6 HP because he had to sacrifice someone to heal Trillium the Wishiwashi) and Lotus the Mudsdale (it had Heavy Slam and Rock Slide, but died to Blizzard due to being outsped). Later on, Kahili's damn bat killed Trillium (Air Slash was a OHKO because Schooling doesn't reform after healing, which is bullshit). Even later, Hala's damn yeti crab killed Mimulus the Passimian (bullshit crit Ice Hammer on the way in). After Olivia went smoothly (as smooth as it could, anyway), Kukui's damn snowy nine-tailed fox killed Rose the Oricorio (Blizzard) while his damn Rath from the Ben 10 franchise killed Yarrow the Decidueye (Fire-type Z-Move from Flare Blitz). Even in the successful revenge run, the mermaid sea lion killed Bamboozle the Pangoro with a cheap crit Moonblast (winning Revenge team was Toonie the Incineroar, Fluffball the Whimsicott, Maudé the Mudsdale, Outlette the Electivire, and Wingading the Pelipper).
@@JRG_REDD there was a exp share in this game? Nah I turned that off tried it in X and Y made it less fun. I used GTNS to trade pokemon for 10% Zigard deconstructed all of them and form a 100% one early. Then I sweeped the entire elite four and made the champion look like a joke. I was one of the few who beat the champion first time. LoL.
I just realized how difficult a normal type elite four user would be. Like he/she could probably single handedly knock out my entire team with a beastly snorlax
Poké-Bob1000 My team was... Mudsdale, Salazzle, Mimikyu, Decidueye, Wishiwashi and... sadly I can't actually remember it off the top of my head, but if I can't remember it then it probably wasn't that big of a contributor. But it most certainly was not Lunala.
My in-game team: Decidueye, Magnezone, Arcanine, Slowbro, Gengar, and Dugtrio. Lol only 1 Alolan Pokemon and the rest were Gen 1. Their levels were barely over the E4s' so it was tough.
Who else here is freaking happy that this incredible elite four with a badass theme is YOUR elite four because you're their first champion? Edit: My most liked comment ever is about Pokémon. Amazing.
Gen 1: Leader theme. Peppy, tough battles. Gen 2: Also Leader theme. Intimidating, kinda scary, but fun. Gen 3: Intense brass tells you to pay attention real quick. Gen 4: Altered Leader theme. Energetic, pounding, tense. Gen 5: *Die* Gen 6: Drum and Bass snaps you into "aw hell" mode. Gen 7: *_E X T R A D I E_* Oh, and now Gen 8: The Eurobeat of fear Also, also Gen 9: Old and New, Killing You
@@yeeyt464 I enjoyed my battle against Kukui, and again the battle against Hau, still better than what Sword and Shield gave us. With Leon's personality traits being "Undefeated" and "Getting lost" you'd think Gamefreak could at least make him moderately difficult.
You're sitting in your champion chair. And you hear the sound of a stomp and this starts playing. "Ah, the sound of MY Elite Four kicking some kid's trash." Also, you hear a holler.
Golf Girl was a great addition looking back at it. All the E4 can’t be your best buddies or an older woman obsessed with rock hard Pokémon or derpy Molayne. Golf girl provided a little rivalry, a little coldness that would naturally occur at such a high level of battling
So let's see what each generation gave us for new Elite Four types. Kanto: Ice, Fighting, Ghost, and Dragon Johto: Psychic, Poison, and Dark Hoenn: No new ones Sinnoh: Bug, Ground, and Fire Unova: No new ones Kalos: Steel and Water Alola: Rock and Flying We still have not had a Normal, Electric, Grass or Fairy Elite Four yet.
Mayor Milford Memeswell the rest are pieces of SHIT this is intense as fuck and it makes you know you are fighting 4 of the strongest trainers in the entire Alola Region
i miss this game. i still think it gets a lot of hate that it doesn’t deserve. i loved the story, and yeah sometimes the dialogue gets out of hand but it was genuinely interesting compared to the other games. the major characters felt surprisingly fleshed out and lusamine’s relationship with the UB was so unique. the new pokemon were good, it still had the full pokedex, had a fantastic high quality ost, had returning characters in the battle tree, and it continued the trend of making competitive battling more accessible. such an underrated game
I hope that gen 9 has music as good as gen 7 and that I have just as much fun with it as gen 7 (and the ability to access your pokes without paying an obscene price for a subscription but we all know Gamefreak/TPC/Nintendo)
I feel like sun and moon are gonna be the next black and white where they're over hated at first but then start to get loved again once nostalgia takes over and people see how good the games were actually were. Just give it a few more years.
@@Infinitytacos sun & moon and black & white feel so similar to me in many aspects tbh. Mainly because I feel both like they tried in the story department and did ok in that and they both tried different things in pokemon (BW with being the first non Japan inspired region and only having new mons in the main game, and sun & moon got rid of the gyms for trials) heck they even have the same exp system for some reason. All and all I can see why they’re by far my two favorites
You've felt the pain of the days when Exp. Share only effects one Pokemon, and then you accidentally put it in the PC, because it's a held item, then some time later, you want to use it, and have to remember which pokemon you gave it to. Or you become lazy and just do switch training.
This is why i like it forced onto you so people dont do stupid things like that. Why would you have it off?? Thanks pokemon shield for being the most communist a pokemon game has ever gotten
@@Nekiplex Some people turn off the exp share for a higher difficulty. Personally I prefer playing without it because I just feel like if I want a Pokémon to level up, I want it to do so because it defeated an opponent, not because another Pokémon did and it just sat in my party and did nothing.
Nebby used Moongeist Beam! *Pallosand only loses half of its health* It's super effective! Pallosand used Shadow Ball! *Lunala gets wrecked* It's super effective! Nebby fainted! My legendary bat ghost thing got wrecked by a sandcastle
You think your experience with the sand-castle is bad? How about spamming Bullet Seed after it used three Iron Defenses, sitting there for hours, and then being greeted with a hyper potion. I almost rage quit that day.
I love how a lot of people are making fun of the elite fours characters, but I like them. And like other comments this is one of the time Game Freak made the elite four challenging.
The Illuminati the Water Type E4 from Kalos and really the only remotely challenging one out of them. if only because his gyarados and barbaracle have rngesus on their side
Kahili's outfit actually fits as to why she is a flying type user. Because the Golf's scoring system is named over birds. Eagle, Birdie, Albatross and so on. It makes perfect sense now.
Gen 7 is highly regarded as the Weird Generation, more than even Generation 5. But I say that it is a decent generation with Pokemon Go being a huge hit, and Sun and Moon being pretty good. (Despite Ultra Sun & Moon being a scam) A lot of the music from the game is super underrated, and the Story was pretty good! And even the characters are great, even with Acerola having the biggest forehead known to Whatever-kind. Despite the weird graphics, I think the visuals were a lot better than most other modern pokemon games. So pretty cool games honestly.
Gen 7 is not just a great generation. It's the best. It has incredible battle themes, including USUM. The character development is comparable to that of N and Hugh, especially Gladion and Lillie. The characters treat you like friends, not like someone who stands in their way from victory. The graphics pushed the 3DS to its absolute limit. In short, no other Gen can top 7 for me. I guess b2w2 and SwSh are up there, but not as special as Sun and Moon.
In case anyone missed the pun with Kahili being a golf champion and using the flying type: Common terms in golf for being underpar include Eagle, Albatross, and Birdie.
Kahili is also literally the name of a golf course in Maui, Hawaii. And one more thing I didn't initially notice about Kahili is the fact that the handle of her golf club matches the color scheme of Toucannon's beak. Wew, Game Freak. You went all out with this chick, huh?
*E4 member`s 1 pokemon gets crit on my pokemon on the very 1st turn* Me: GOD SAVE ME ITS THE ELITE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine if they didn’t let you heal at during the Elite 4 fights, that you had to go directly to the next one after fighting one, Gen 5 and 7 would kill us a lot
@@heinzdoofenshmirtz8643 almost, if you get increadibily lucky with crits and flinch and confusion, or use recovery user,both could work but yea calling it impossible is fair
Call me weird, but I actually think that Kahili is the best one out of the four. Yeah, you might not have met her before, but she went through the same experiences of the island trial as you did, which makes her so unique. She also has such a great pose and sprite. (Golf reference is GOLD (birdie) She's also unique in that she's the first Elite Four to specialize in Flying types EVER
She was my favorite too. And she was the first one I fought. I was hoping that the other 3 would also be some cool Ex-Trainers from the past like Kahili was, but nope. Just re-fights of not so interesting ppl.
Gajeel Redfox you know what would make the fight even more hellish? if she had a serene grace togekiss with a accuracy boosting item and air slash. 'gen 5/6 OU violently flashes by' what if gamefreak actually had elites that would do smogon/competitive tactics that would infuriate you to hell and back?
It's funny how a lot of fans complained about the Exp Share feature making XY easy so they kept it off in this game and... well, a lot of asses got rekt *gamefreak staff laughing maniacally in the distance*
The battles against the Kahunas on your trial felt so casual and friendly up until this point. This theme is a reminder that you've yet to surpass the true test. It's time to see what experience you've gained on your journey... and this time there's no holding back.
Together We Ride?? This is the best Elite Four theme, imo. The four trainers actually being difficult along with this theme playing makes battling with them much more intense.
The Chosen Dude yes, they are pretty difficult especially Hala, he's absolutely brutal plus the Exp Curve in this game makes it so you can't easily overlevel even with the Exp Share
In my end i picked litten But i do grab a bunch of all around type counters during the adventure so yeah ... Also gotta get my boy Toxapex to do something :p
I honestly haven't been this satisfied with a Pokémon game since gen1 and 2. I grew up playing the black and white Gameboy. Sun and Moon was definitely fun to play! And that's a sick elite four theme, probably the best one so far!
Broberon The Oberon Well if we're talking exclusively theme's, I'd put B/W 2 up there behind sun and moon then Johto. It's all personal preference though.
What I love about this game is the lore/reasons behind the pokemon League and why Alola region did not have a League which made the game unique in my opinion XD
What I do hate about this is you're a 10 year old kid... I wish it was like X&Y when you're 16 and have a chance for romance... I know this is a kids game but have you seen some of the dialogue :O intense for a "kids" game XD
Everyone : Complains about being surprised from Kahili being a late game new character. Every previous elite 4 members : Uh... Edit : By previous elite 4 members, I meant members from elite 4 from the previous games. Sorry for the missunderstanding
I think its more that you get to know these characters over the course of the game, so the elite four feels personal, then kahili feels out of place amongst a lineup of characters youve had lasting impressions of. She wouldnt feel out of place if there were a completely seperate lineup of e4 members just like any other pokemon game. But sometimes change is good, and i like the direction the series is going in with making the e4 closely tied to the journey youve just gone on, and now the greatest of the foes youve faced are mounting one last assault before you reach the top.
Wasn’t XY like notorious for just throwing the elite 4 and champion at you without them being relative to the plot? No shade to XY’s elite as I love them but just saying
@@rune2O2O yeah kinda? one of the elite four was actually a member of team flare but nobody remembers that because she did absolutely nothing, it was almost like an afterthought, which is worse honestly.
Danish James I like the theme, but it's nowhere near the level of the other themes you mentioned. Replace it with the Hoenn E4 theme and it's perfect ;)
Le Dapper Greninja None of them do. They all have effective counters to their counters. This gen was the first time the endgame and post-game gave me a ton of trouble because of how properly challenging they were.
Pikapower Also made another discovery: Exp. Share is the difficulty selector. I've heard that playing with it on makes the game about as easy as XY for some players, but the game becomes almost as brutal as Super Mystery Dungeon with it off, starting to become really challenging around the third island and ramping up from there. The Elite Four felt truly _elite_ during my run.
Yeah I never once have had the EXP share on and I've grinded my team all to the 60's through hellish hours on routes before progressing story specifically so I could stay ahead of the strong AF NPC's that keep rising up.
Moonlight Lulamoon YES like literally though. I started up these fights and was like oh I bet this will be super easy. Started with the flying chick. That skarmory man. This has to be one of the best tracks in the game though.
Moonlight Lulamoon this game was the first time my little sister played Pokémon in her own. She had my one friend “coach” her for a bit and we watched her face this group. The very second this music started, he and I looked at each other and just said “oh shit....” Hell if an Elite Four to be introduced to ^^;
You know they ain't playin around when they use more than 3 Pokemon. I like how they went back to using 5 Pokemon each instead of 4 and IIRC the champion is the only trainer in the main game (besides yourself) with a full team.
The first time I heard this music I knew I fucked up by walking in there. I didn't have PP restoration items, so I ran out of moves at the champion. I had to SR so many times for that battle, but eventually I did it... I got perfect RNG and I beat Kukui.
I already finished the game and... That was AMAZING! Can't wait to share my battle gameplay with you all when the game come out! :D Ps: Don't ask me any question related to the game. I don't want to spoils anybody. Just do the experience yourself ;)
Idk if people have realized it yet, but Kahili is based off of the Kahili Golf Course in Waikapu, Hawaii. Nice of them to make that reference since its a popular golf course in Hawaii.
DaDood Right about Snorlax, Pulverising Pancake is beyond broken. I used mostly new Pokémon too, Snorlax was just a place holder till I could get a Null
It’s been almost 6 years since these games came out and I honestly can’t believe it. I was in 6th grade and my friends and I had a sleepover on the day it came out. This is my favorite song from these games- I will never forget the hype of hearing this theme at 1 am trying to beat Sun for the first time. I know there are some that do not like these games, but for me they are the best- they brought me some of my favorite moments in life. I eagerly look forward to the release of the next odd gen games this November
I was in 12th grade! I remember playing and watching streams of this late in the evening while I ignored my homework. I live in a very northern place meaning it was pitch black out by 4pm so it’d just be me, my lamp, and my 3DS. I was taking on new responsibilities and was feeling like an adult for the first time 🥲 what I’d give to be that happy and oblivious again…SuMo’s soundtrack takes me back to those memories so easily and makes my chest feel tight in a happy way. Please enjoy your last year of grade school!!! It is hard but one day you’ll look upon the good memories with fondness
I was in 5th, and me and my brother both got ultra sun and moon for Christmas. I'll never forget how excited we were, played nonstop for a few days lol. I may be in 11 grade, but I still play it a lot lol, gen 7 is my favorite
Why is everyone complaining about not meeting the flying girl you never meet most of the elite fours I think people are just trying to find something to hate on
Unova's elite four, Hoenn's elite four, Kalos's elite four (minus 1), Johto's elite four and Kanto's elite four (I think Loreli appears once but thats it)
I used atleast 12 revives during the elite 4. And on the champion I lost my entire team by the time his 3rd pokemon was thrown out. By far the hardest league in years. (My pokemon were heavily under-leveled)
I had a hard time with some of the Totem Pokemon, namely Lurantis. I didn't have any problem with the E4 and Kukui though. This was probably my best team or something, cause I'm like the only person who doesn't think the E4 was hard.
Wasn't THAT difficult. The only hard part for me was the trial with Mallow and her damn Lurantis. Other than that, the game wasn't too hard. It was the gen 4 games that really shook me. Hgss, DPP... Yeah..
Eh. You found Gen. 4 more difficult because you were younger then, simple as that. Whitney's Miltank, Cyrus, Cynthia's Garchomp, post-game Barry, Red's team--their 'mons all have 0 EV. For comparison, Hau's Alolan Raichu has full EVs (special attack + speed) and spams Psychic by mid-game. The second battle with Lusamine near the end likewise has a team with full EVs in addition to essentially having a free stat boost like the totems. And Sun/Moon happens to do this not in incremental steps, but goes all-out very early on (Ilima, Sina's Glaceon, Dexio's Espeon, the trials etc.). Someone who is playing through Pokemon for their first time ever is going to have far more trouble with gen. 7 than they will with any other gen.
Like I said, I'm telling people to approach this question through the lens of a total beginner. You and all the others are trying to make a rebuttal using personal anecdotes--completely pointless.
I don't know, if I was a total beginner, I think Sun and Moon would be the easiest games in the series. With the rival getting the Pokémon with the disadvantage, the experience share option, the game telling you what's super effective and what isn't... Plus there's always an abundance of catchable Pokémon with the type advantage before every Island Challenge.
Champsr0ck2247 I'm fully convinced that Ash-Greninja has been designed by Pokemon Company to crap out the moment he comes anywhere near a Pokemon League. The whole game he was doing great for me, but the moment we arrive at the league the Elite Four murder him brutally.
I honestly was *NOT* ready for this. When I went to face Gladion at the bottom of Mount Lanakila and then Hau at the summit, I was genuinely surprised at how strong they both had become. I didn't beat them without losing at least one of my team members. Now the Alola Elite Four? Let me break down just how fucked up these guys left me after each battle. 1. Hala- Utterly decimated my entire team besides my Decidueye and Lycanroc. His Bewear was a freaking nightmare for me. Let me repeat that. *Hala left me with only 2 Pokémon after I managed to beat him.* 2. Olivia (wife, I love Olivia so much)- Her Lycanroc outsped a lot of my vital team members including my own Lycanroc so taking it down was a matter of playing my cards right, healing at the right time and attacking at the right time. The rest of her team put up a good fight, especially her Probopass. Olivia kept overriding my Milotic's Rain Dance with Sandstorm and whenever I tried to attack using Hydro Pump, she'd have Probopass use Thunder Wave and slow down my Milotic majorly. I was down to 3 Pokémon once I managed to defeat Olivia. 3. Acerola- Tried taking advantage of my Lycanroc and Arcanine both knowing Crunch, but most of her Pokémon outsped them both (Which, might I add, *were my FASTEST POKÉMON*) so I once again had to play my cards right and not just rely on type advantages. Down to 4 Pokémon once I defeated her. 4. Kahili- Her setting up with Spikes through her Skarmory was incredibly smart and crafty. None of my Pokémon were airborne so I had to put up with damage all around my team, and she was definitely not a pushover. Down to only my Lycanroc when I managed to defeat her. All this while this intense, powerful, fast-paced, and utterly badass Elite Four theme is blaring through my 3DS's speakers. *Well fucking done, Game Freak.*
I remember walking on the beach of that resort in sun and moon and then talking to the guy who was like” this rich families daughter focuses in flying types and beat all the island challenges” me sweet too bad she’s off in another region. Little did I know...
Hala: STOP RIGHT THERE AND-oh 💩 he’s got Lunala Olivia: FEAR MY RUGGED LITTLE-... nice giant water bubble... Acerola: BEHOLD THE POWER OF ROYAL-... SINCE WHEN CAN BEYONCÉ IN SEAL FORM USE SHADOW BALL?!?! Kahili: FORE! o wait I lost already
When they make a new elite four, they should have fairy and normal as 2 of them. Edit: The next elite 4 SHOULD be electric, normal, grass, and fairy. (The only types that haven't been part of the elite 4)
Grass Elite Four using Breloom with Spore Electric Elite Four using Rotom-Wash with Volt Switch and Hydro Pump Fairy Elite Four using Azumarill with Belly Drum Normal Elite Four using Snorlax and Blissey Please, Game Freak, make this happen!!
Mimikyu counters everyone. I more or less sweeped the E4 with him. Probably would have taken out half of Kukui's team if Mimikyu hadn't choked and missed Play Rough twice. Then again my Mimikyu was level 67 because he's been my lead Pokemon for the past 10 or so hours of gameplay.
Kemo_Meme I usually pick based on a combination of that. Result was 4 fairy types on my team (Primarina, Ribombee, Mimikyu, Ninetails) and a horrible weakness to Poison. Almst got wiped by a random trainer's Garbodor lmao
Ice I remember that Garbodor, my weakness is really horrible though, Almost all the fighting types I faced had dark moves, which basically destroyed my Espeon, My Raticate was 4X weak to fighting, my Dugtrio was X2 weak to fighting, and my fire starter was X2 weak to fighting, my Mismagious also had a weakness to dark so it was not an option, I had a 10% Zygarde but it had horrible defense
And creepy, I suppose. It's a crime that she doesn't have an espurr, or at least meowstic. Cute and creepy. I swear it's like this missed opportunity of having a honEDGElord.
This theme’s vibe is in complete contrast to the island kahuna themes, the theme is genuinely intimidating, making sure the player knows these people are ready to kick your butt.
I'd say Kahili was my favourite elite four memeber. She was the only one who had any place being there IMO. The others we'd already battled at some point or another so we already knew what they'd be running (even Mo in USUM I felt like had no place in the elite four). She comes out of nowhere like "I finished my island challenge and left Alola to become stronger, now I'll show you how strong I am". This is what the elite four should have been. Trainers who'd finished their trials, beat all the captains, and proved they were stronger than all of them. Especially since the professor mentioned the Kanto elite four creamed him. Surely he'd want trainers he knew were strong enough to take on those guys.
I love how the elite four were canonically formed like five minutes before you got there but they’re still some of the most challenging in the series

Two kahunas, a trial captain, and... Random golf lady.

Rylade475 how is she champion if the game tells you that you're Alola's first champion?
Renzo she isn't a League Champion. back in the old days, people who cleared all of the trials and defeated all four Kahunas in a row were called Island Challenge "Champions". Kahili was one of them.

I just realized how difficult a normal type elite four user would be. Like he/she could probably single handedly knock out my entire team with a beastly snorlax

Poké-Bob1000 i never use my legendary pokemon in the pokemon league, thats just unfair in my opinion, and and victory doesnt taste sweet
Poké-Bob1000 My team was... Mudsdale, Salazzle, Mimikyu, Decidueye, Wishiwashi and... sadly I can't actually remember it off the top of my head, but if I can't remember it then it probably wasn't that big of a contributor.
But it most certainly was not Lunala.
My in-game team: Decidueye, Magnezone, Arcanine, Slowbro, Gengar, and Dugtrio. Lol only 1 Alolan Pokemon and the rest were Gen 1. Their levels were barely over the E4s' so it was tough.

Golf Girl was a great addition looking back at it. All the E4 can’t be your best buddies or an older woman obsessed with rock hard Pokémon or derpy Molayne. Golf girl provided a little rivalry, a little coldness that would naturally occur at such a high level of battling

@@eeeeggnog._. b&w was easy
@@eeeeggnog._.The level 50 scrafty with confidence in my pokeball:
So let's see what each generation gave us for new Elite Four types.
Kanto: Ice, Fighting, Ghost, and Dragon
Johto: Psychic, Poison, and Dark
Hoenn: No new ones
Sinnoh: Bug, Ground, and Fire
Unova: No new ones
Kalos: Steel and Water
Alola: Rock and Flying
We still have not had a Normal, Electric, Grass or Fairy Elite Four yet.
Tyrannical Rex I thought we had a grass type in hoenn
Isaac Romo if you're talking about Phoebe she is a ghost type e4
Max Kordei He was probably thinking of Sydney, who uses a Shiftry and a Cacturne.
Technically Kanto's ghost-type E4 member is more of a poison-type Elite Four. Her pokemon only share all poison as their type.
Sooooo, Ilima, Mallow, Sophocles and Mina as the E4 for USUM?
That feel when some of the enemies you've been fighting have been holding back.

i miss this game. i still think it gets a lot of hate that it doesn’t deserve. i loved the story, and yeah sometimes the dialogue gets out of hand but it was genuinely interesting compared to the other games. the major characters felt surprisingly fleshed out and lusamine’s relationship with the UB was so unique. the new pokemon were good, it still had the full pokedex, had a fantastic high quality ost, had returning characters in the battle tree, and it continued the trend of making competitive battling more accessible. such an underrated game
@Swagkinglanny 112 No?
I hope that gen 9 has music as good as gen 7 and that I have just as much fun with it as gen 7 (and the ability to access your pokes without paying an obscene price for a subscription but we all know Gamefreak/TPC/Nintendo)
I feel like sun and moon are gonna be the next black and white where they're over hated at first but then start to get loved again once nostalgia takes over and people see how good the games were actually were. Just give it a few more years.
@@Infinitytacos sun & moon and black & white feel so similar to me in many aspects tbh. Mainly because I feel both like they tried in the story department and did ok in that and they both tried different things in pokemon (BW with being the first non Japan inspired region and only having new mons in the main game, and sun & moon got rid of the gyms for trials) heck they even have the same exp system for some reason. All and all I can see why they’re by far my two favorites
UB? You mean ugly bastards? Oh yeah ultra beats I get it...
>when you're 10 levels below the Elite 4's mons because Exp. Share was turned off all game, and this song plays
Guess I'll just die.
You've felt the pain of the days when Exp. Share only effects one Pokemon, and then you accidentally put it in the PC, because it's a held item, then some time later, you want to use it, and have to remember which pokemon you gave it to. Or you become lazy and just do switch training.
Katherine Garlock being lazy is doing switch training? I thought being lazy was..
SCREW SWITCH TRAINING!
This is why i like it forced onto you so people dont do stupid things like that. Why would you have it off?? Thanks pokemon shield for being the most communist a pokemon game has ever gotten
@@Nekiplex Some people turn off the exp share for a higher difficulty. Personally I prefer playing without it because I just feel like if I want a Pokémon to level up, I want it to do so because it defeated an opponent, not because another Pokémon did and it just sat in my party and did nothing.
I turned off the EXP share
...but I also grinded lol
Nebby used Moongeist Beam!
*Pallosand only loses half of its health*
It's super effective!
Pallosand used Shadow Ball!
*Lunala gets wrecked*
It's super effective! Nebby fainted!

well it's 4x weak to ghost, and that's what you get for using a legendary pleb
why are you mad for me using a legendary lol if I want to play with the mascot of the game then that's my problem not yours
Epicrevilo I also named my Lunala Nebby, but I think my Decidueye fainted Pallosand eadily with Spirit Shackle, or Leaf Blade.
You think your experience with the sand-castle is bad? How about spamming Bullet Seed after it used three Iron Defenses, sitting there for hours, and then being greeted with a hyper potion. I almost rage quit that day.
rip moon bat who's x4 weak to ghost
I love how a lot of people are making fun of the elite fours characters, but I like them. And like other comments this is one of the time Game Freak made the elite four challenging.
The other 3 members: standard poses and expressions
Kahili: STUDENTS OF HONNOUJI ACADEMY
your friendly neighborhood weeb she lacks the appropriate amount of eyebrow
Oh shit
That pose DOES make her look like Lady Satsuki...
Even the facial expression reminds me of Satsuki
kill la kill
YOU'RE ALL TEPIGS!
Pokemon fans: POKEMON X Y ELITE FOUR WAS TOO EASY GIVE US A CHALLENGE
Game Freak: Alright you little shits
Siebold says otherwise.
Who?
The Illuminati the Water Type E4 from Kalos and really the only remotely challenging one out of them.
if only because his gyarados and barbaracle have rngesus on their side
They were easy for me because I had a Chesnaught
The Illuminati lmao, Siebold's Gyarados was hella easy with Raichu
I love how this Elite Four is 3 young girls and an old man lol

2 young girls cause one of them looks old since she also has grey hair
PikaPlayzHD lmao

Kahili's outfit actually fits as to why she is a flying type user.
Because the Golf's scoring system is named over birds. Eagle, Birdie, Albatross and so on. It makes perfect sense now.
XD
Gen 7 is highly regarded as the Weird Generation, more than even Generation 5.
But I say that it is a decent generation with Pokemon Go being a huge hit, and Sun and Moon being pretty good. (Despite Ultra Sun & Moon being a scam)
A lot of the music from the game is super underrated, and the Story was pretty good!
And even the characters are great, even with Acerola having the biggest forehead known to Whatever-kind.
Despite the weird graphics, I think the visuals were a lot better than most other modern pokemon games.
So pretty cool games honestly.
Nah man Gen 6 gets slept on the most in terms of story and soundtracks
Gen 5 was a masterpiece in my opinion
@@nekozimo Same
It's odd how Gen 7 is my second favorite gen, I need to play the Alola games more.
Gen 7 is not just a great generation. It's the best.
It has incredible battle themes, including USUM.
The character development is comparable to that of N and Hugh, especially Gladion and Lillie.
The characters treat you like friends, not like someone who stands in their way from victory.
The graphics pushed the 3DS to its absolute limit.
In short, no other Gen can top 7 for me.
I guess b2w2 and SwSh are up there, but not as special as Sun and Moon.
In case anyone missed the pun with Kahili being a golf champion and using the flying type: Common terms in golf for being underpar include Eagle, Albatross, and Birdie.
Aidan Perry first time I've heard albatross.
Kahili is also a golf course in hawaii
Aidan Perry also I'm pretty sure both flight and golf relies heavily on wind, hence her saying "Let's see who the winds favor today- you or me?"
lol how the hell do I miss that? lol
Kahili is also literally the name of a golf course in Maui, Hawaii.
And one more thing I didn't initially notice about Kahili is the fact that the handle of her golf club matches the color scheme of Toucannon's beak. Wew, Game Freak. You went all out with this chick, huh?

Ikana Akatosh where's the other 9?
In Europe they use the comma as Americans use a period, so "199,99€" is actually "€ 199.99" if you speak American.
€ 199.99 for an iGolfBall seems reasonable for Apple. But that's too low for an iGolfClub.
i have a siny socoley
Call me weird, but I actually think that Kahili is the best one out of the four. Yeah, you might not have met her
before, but she went through the same experiences of the island trial as you did, which makes her so unique. She also has such a great pose and sprite. (Golf reference is GOLD (birdie) She's also unique in that she's the first Elite Four to specialize in Flying types EVER
Gajeel Redfox Awesome isn't it?
She was my favorite too. And she was the first one I fought. I was hoping that the other 3 would also be some cool Ex-Trainers from the past like Kahili was, but nope. Just re-fights of not so interesting ppl.
Gajeel Redfox you know what would make the fight even more hellish?
if she had a serene grace togekiss with a accuracy boosting item and air slash.
'gen 5/6 OU violently flashes by'
what if gamefreak actually had elites that would do smogon/competitive tactics that would infuriate you to hell and back?
That would actually be pretty awesome but I think they avoided it because of all the enraged players throwing their 3DS across their rooms.
togekiss isn't in the alolan dex anyway, so it makes sense that it isn't included in any team until post game
It's funny how a lot of fans complained about the Exp Share feature making XY easy so they kept it off in this game and... well, a lot of asses got rekt

Ah yes, some of the most notable trainers in gen 7. There's Hala, Olivia, Acerola and, uhhh... female golfer...?
Kahili.
if you actually talked to the npcs she was foreshadowed at the hano grand resort
A lackluster introduction for a lackluster character.
Isaac Shinder I like how Acerola is only there because Nanu essentially told Kukui to piss off.
Psychotic Beverage LOL
The battles against the Kahunas on your trial felt so casual and friendly up until this point. This theme is a reminder that you've yet to surpass the true test. It's time to see what experience you've gained on your journey... and this time there's no holding back.
ThePixelPaladin true
Together We Ride??
This is the best Elite Four theme, imo. The four trainers actually being difficult along with this theme playing makes battling with them much more intense.
This is what you call an ELITE Four!
PikaPlayzHD On a scale of 1- 10 how hard is the elite four? I know how many Pokémon they have but does that make them even harder?
JohnnyTheGaymer I'm glad I'm not the only one who would hum this and then randomly transition to Together We Ride lol
JohnnyTheGaymer Is it confirmed that they are difficult?
The Chosen Dude yes, they are pretty difficult especially Hala, he's absolutely brutal
plus the Exp Curve in this game makes it so you can't easily overlevel even with the Exp Share
Unova: We have the toughest elite four with an epic soundtrack
Alola: Hold my malasada.
Alola wasn't even the toughest elite four. I beat them no problem. Then again i did pick poplio...
Alola and Unova have godlike Four Elite themes
Both themes are great but unova definitely had the tougher elite 4
People scared of the alola e4 picked litten and didn't grab counters smh
In my end i picked litten
But i do grab a bunch of all around type counters during the adventure so yeah ... Also gotta get my boy Toxapex to do something :p
JJ209th it’s true...
I picked Litten, have Incineroar (I don’t care what anyone says, he’s awesome)
Was a bit of a pain...
I honestly haven't been this satisfied with a Pokémon game since gen1 and 2. I grew up playing the black and white Gameboy. Sun and Moon was definitely fun to play! And that's a sick elite four theme, probably the best one so far!
Winter xx I think Black and White/2 Elite Four theme was also one of the best.
Broberon The Oberon Well if we're talking exclusively theme's, I'd put B/W 2 up there behind sun and moon then Johto. It's all personal preference though.
Winter xx yup. I gotta agree with you there.
I should get bonus points for calling other themes better than my own. That goes against the genwunner stereotype xD
Winter xx genwunner much

Better hope them Poké Balls are sturdy enough.
Also hope they won't end up right into the player's face.

What I love about this game is the lore/reasons behind the pokemon League and why Alola region did not have a League which made the game unique in my opinion XD
Than Ellen yeah you fight against the champion then you must defend your title and its quote challenging

Everyone : Complains about being surprised from Kahili being a late game new character.
Every previous elite 4 members : Uh...
Edit : By previous elite 4 members, I meant members from elite 4 from the previous games. Sorry for the missunderstanding
Ikr biased
I think its more that you get to know these characters over the course of the game, so the elite four feels personal, then kahili feels out of place amongst a lineup of characters youve had lasting impressions of. She wouldnt feel out of place if there were a completely seperate lineup of e4 members just like any other pokemon game. But sometimes change is good, and i like the direction the series is going in with making the e4 closely tied to the journey youve just gone on, and now the greatest of the foes youve faced are mounting one last assault before you reach the top.
Wasn’t XY like notorious for just throwing the elite 4 and champion at you without them being relative to the plot? No shade to XY’s elite as I love them but just saying
@@rune2O2O yeah kinda? one of the elite four was actually a member of team flare but nobody remembers that because she did absolutely nothing, it was almost like an afterthought, which is worse honestly.
@Ink2985 And Caitlin
In my opinion this is one of the best E4 themes to date
Second behind BW's
Ness Bound IMO the best themes are:
Kanto E4
BW E4
SM E4
Kanto doesn't even have an E4 theme, just the shitty Soul Silver Johto Gym theme.
Thirteen 1355 Well I like it personally even if they use the same theme for Gym/E4 😂
Danish James I like the theme, but it's nowhere near the level of the other themes you mentioned.
Replace it with the Hoenn E4 theme and it's perfect ;)
Do not underestimate Olivia or Kahili purely because of their rock and flying types. They make good use of their types and do not fuck around.
Le Dapper Greninja None of them do. They all have effective counters to their counters. This gen was the first time the endgame and post-game gave me a ton of trouble because of how properly challenging they were.
Kahili's spikes made that fight a pain for electric types.
Pikapower Also made another discovery: Exp. Share is the difficulty selector. I've heard that playing with it on makes the game about as easy as XY for some players, but the game becomes almost as brutal as Super Mystery Dungeon with it off, starting to become really challenging around the third island and ramping up from there. The Elite Four felt truly _elite_ during my run.
alolan golem tho, that thing slaughters ur water mons lmao
Yeah I never once have had the EXP share on and I've grinded my team all to the 60's through hellish hours on routes before progressing story specifically so I could stay ahead of the strong AF NPC's that keep rising up.
Took me a while to figure out why the Flying-type expert is a golfer... Birdies, eagles, albatrosses, golf lingo is full of birds.
Everyone: serious faces
Acerola: :D

(≧∀≦)
The fact that Acerola is acting as Nanu's replacement is hilarious. What a great family
Fresh 2D Toucher Buddies What was the reason she went promoted as an elite4?
Simple enough Nanu refused to be an elite 4. Nanu is a kahuna so that's why they asked him.
+Fresh 2D Toucher Buddies He seems pretty lazy, I can relate.
RevolvingWorld He had been the worst elite 4 ever.
Nanu was asked to be part of the Elite Four, but he was having Nanu that shit.
Did anyone else get chills on there back when they heard this song? Like "Oh shit...They ain't Playing...LET'S GO!~!!!"
Moonlight Lulamoon nebby couldn't get out the bag this time.
Moonlight Lulamoon YES like literally though. I started up these fights and was like oh I bet this will be super easy. Started with the flying chick. That skarmory man. This has to be one of the best tracks in the game though.
Moonlight Lulamoon this game was the first time my little sister played Pokémon in her own. She had my one friend “coach” her for a bit and we watched her face this group. The very second this music started, he and I looked at each other and just said “oh shit....” Hell if an Elite Four to be introduced to ^^;
You know they ain't playin around when they use more than 3 Pokemon. I like how they went back to using 5 Pokemon each instead of 4 and IIRC the champion is the only trainer in the main game (besides yourself) with a full team.
The first time I heard this music I knew I fucked up by walking in there. I didn't have PP restoration items, so I ran out of moves at the champion. I had to SR so many times for that battle, but eventually I did it... I got perfect RNG and I beat Kukui.
I already finished the game and... That was AMAZING! Can't wait to share my battle gameplay with you all when the game come out! :D
Ps: Don't ask me any question related to the game. I don't want to spoils anybody. Just do the experience yourself ;)
Pokeli Be honest is the game worth getting?
Yes! :D
What? :/

This is one of the most SUSPENSEFUL Elite Four themes, in my opinion. You don't have to agree.

@ROWAN MAST What part I cant hear it?
Idk if people have realized it yet, but Kahili is based off of the Kahili Golf Course in Waikapu, Hawaii. Nice of them to make that reference since its a popular golf course in Hawaii.
Dark Artist it also makes sense that she is a flying type trainer ( eagle, birdie, albatross)
that does seem interesting
Dark Artist i wonder if that's why her name doesnt change in the spanish version like most characters do
flying type lady nearly wrecked my shit
DaDood i sweeped her with jolteon
She was the hardest one definitely, but Shell smash minior came through
***** I refused to use battle bond Greninja or the Gift munchlax. Would have made the game too easy, and I wanted to use all new pokemon.
DaDood Right about Snorlax, Pulverising Pancake is beyond broken. I used mostly new Pokémon too, Snorlax was just a place holder till I could get a Null
I lost to old man Hala on my first go. Fucking Bewears, man.

omg same
It’s been almost 6 years since these games came out and I honestly can’t believe it. I was in 6th grade and my friends and I had a sleepover on the day it came out. This is my favorite song from these games- I will never forget the hype of hearing this theme at 1 am trying to beat Sun for the first time. I know there are some that do not like these games, but for me they are the best- they brought me some of my favorite moments in life. I eagerly look forward to the release of the next odd gen games this November
I was in 12th grade! I remember playing and watching streams of this late in the evening while I ignored my homework. I live in a very northern place meaning it was pitch black out by 4pm so it’d just be me, my lamp, and my 3DS. I was taking on new responsibilities and was feeling like an adult for the first time 🥲 what I’d give to be that happy and oblivious again…SuMo’s soundtrack takes me back to those memories so easily and makes my chest feel tight in a happy way.
Please enjoy your last year of grade school!!! It is hard but one day you’ll look upon the good memories with fondness
I was in 5th, and me and my brother both got ultra sun and moon for Christmas. I'll never forget how excited we were, played nonstop for a few days lol. I may be in 11 grade, but I still play it a lot lol, gen 7 is my favorite
SAME I was in 6th grade too when these came out! However I got them in 2018 and by that time I was in 8th grade already.
Anyone else picture them battling trainers and wrecking their team while you await the next challenger like a badass at the top of the league?
Azukay49 me
That's what happens when you're not playing
when your mom screams your full name
When you enter her room Arceus's theme plays.
Jesus Christ.
Neko Nomica no Ghetsis' theme from BW plays!
When you meet an edgy kid, Glodion's theme plays.
Dickolas
When you notice Hala is the only male in this game's Elite 4
Lucian (sabatadarkness) There would've been 2 but Nanu didn't want to participate 😞
Lucian (sabatadarkness) I wonder how hala feels being surrounded by 2 women and 1girl.
Old Hala is there to make 'em holler ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
In Gen 4 there was only an old woman and 3 young men... SINNOH REMAKES CONFIRMED!
1/3 chance there's a trap among them
You’re not just fighting THE elite four… you’re fighting your elite four!
Why is everyone complaining about not meeting the flying girl you never meet most of the elite fours I think people are just trying to find something to hate on
NormieGasser
Ikr
all elite fours are forgettable, aleast these are easily more rememberable as most of them are part of the story.
You literally never meet Kahili at all
@@hobos7491 so does the other gens elite four
Kahili doesn't even smile, what's more is there to add?
Unova's elite four, Hoenn's elite four, Kalos's elite four (minus 1), Johto's elite four and Kanto's elite four (I think Loreli appears once but thats it)
Kalos Elite 4: Meh, too easy.
Alola Elite 4: Jesus Christ, they're really challenging this time (Especially the Ghost one)! Kickass theme too!
ViciousTheHedgehog95 This game made me hate sand castles
The Johto12 Good luck kicking them.
Other way around for me. Without the exp share in X, Siebold utterly destroyed me at least 10 times
Cool team. But I didn't know how to transfer Ash Greninja into my game until after I beat the game.
ViciousTheHedgehog95 Then you were very, very late my friend
Anyone else thinks Brock could easily win Olivia's heart through her stomach? Should have stayed with Ash my boi. lol
lmao what if they make Brock come back for that one reason
Yoshi -TheOreo lol true
Yoshi -TheOreo Brock does love to cook and in the end credits, you can see how much Olivia loves food.
he would be lucky with that butt of hers
How old is Brock supposed to be?
- Big Man
- Gerudo Lady
- ghosty kid !!!
The last one is revali if he was a female golfer
La jugadora de golf se menciona en el demo especial de Pokémon son and moon
Ultra
Nerdy Guy
Gerudo lady
:3
Hot golfer lady
@@lazaroperez4393 wow a comment in spanish(yo tambien hablo español xd)
I love how Hala, Olivia and Kahili look so pissed but then Acerola's just like MEOWWW HAPPY FUN TIMES WITH DRIFBLIM
SilverFoxes MEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWW
MEEEEEEOOWWWWW IM HAVING FUN WHIPING OUT YOUR POKEMON
"CHILD ABDUCTING BALLOONS ARE FUN, OKAY!?!?"
for me hala looks like he’s laughing
YAAAAAYYY LETS MAKE A SANDCASTLE!!
Was I the only one who actually had a tough time with the elite four and champion, and in general the game?
WhiteNebula not at all, toughest pokemon game since the gen 1 days imo
I used atleast 12 revives during the elite 4. And on the champion I lost my entire team by the time his 3rd pokemon was thrown out. By far the hardest league in years. (My pokemon were heavily under-leveled)
Toughest Pokemon game since Gen 1 for me, and Gen 1 was hard due to balance issues!
I had a hard time with some of the Totem Pokemon, namely Lurantis. I didn't have any problem with the E4 and Kukui though. This was probably my best team or something, cause I'm like the only person who doesn't think the E4 was hard.
Totem wishiwashi was difficult because of that damn heal pulse but yeah the elite four definitely got harder (Thank God)
when i first challenged the elite four i was like "HEY I REMEMBER YOU GUYS" then i saw Kahili and like "where were u all this time playing golf?"
1:39 best bit, the part where it sounds like you're falling out of control and everything is coming down around you.
I was so shocked at how surprisingly difficult this game was.
Mr Madness thought I was the only one.
Wasn't THAT difficult.
The only hard part for me was the trial with Mallow and her damn Lurantis. Other than that, the game wasn't too hard. It was the gen 4 games that really shook me. Hgss, DPP... Yeah..
Eh. You found Gen. 4 more difficult because you were younger then, simple as that. Whitney's Miltank, Cyrus, Cynthia's Garchomp, post-game Barry, Red's team--their 'mons all have 0 EV.
For comparison, Hau's Alolan Raichu has full EVs (special attack + speed) and spams Psychic by mid-game. The second battle with Lusamine near the end likewise has a team with full EVs in addition to essentially having a free stat boost like the totems. And Sun/Moon happens to do this not in incremental steps, but goes all-out very early on (Ilima, Sina's Glaceon, Dexio's Espeon, the trials etc.). Someone who is playing through Pokemon for their first time ever is going to have far more trouble with gen. 7 than they will with any other gen.
Like I said, I'm telling people to approach this question through the lens of a total beginner. You and all the others are trying to make a rebuttal using personal anecdotes--completely pointless.
I don't know, if I was a total beginner, I think Sun and Moon would be the easiest games in the series. With the rival getting the Pokémon with the disadvantage, the experience share option, the game telling you what's super effective and what isn't... Plus there's always an abundance of catchable Pokémon with the type advantage before every Island Challenge.
Me: I'll take Olivia first. Rock types are piss easy
*Olivia one shots my Ash-Greninja turn one.
Me: OH GREAT AND POWERFUL GODDESS, PLEASE SPARE ME.
DrScaphandre Of course the ASH Greninja gets OHKO'd by a resistance. Smh.
Champsr0ck2247 I'm fully convinced that Ash-Greninja has been designed by Pokemon Company to crap out the moment he comes anywhere near a Pokemon League. The whole game he was doing great for me, but the moment we arrive at the league the Elite Four murder him brutally.
Greninja doesn't resist Rock, so Champs, your argument is invalid.
Heinz Doofenshmirtz let me think........hmm last time I checked greninga is a F-ing Water+dark you fool!
Heinz Doofenshmirtz Thank you, Heinz. At least it wasn't Blast Burn. That would've sucked.
An old Hawaiian, a mining manager, a Stranger Things geek, and a golfer... BEST. ELITE FOUR. EVER!
MY GIRL ACEROLA SHOULD NOT JUST BE NAMED A 'STRANGER THINGS GEEK'
Acerola is precious 😢❤️
Pokemon SM director: ok, just make a theme for the turn elite four, don't get crazy
The composer:
I honestly was *NOT* ready for this. When I went to face Gladion at the bottom of Mount Lanakila and then Hau at the summit, I was genuinely surprised at how strong they both had become. I didn't beat them without losing at least one of my team members. Now the Alola Elite Four? Let me break down just how fucked up these guys left me after each battle.
1. Hala- Utterly decimated my entire team besides my Decidueye and Lycanroc. His Bewear was a freaking nightmare for me. Let me repeat that. *Hala left me with only 2 Pokémon after I managed to beat him.*
2. Olivia (wife, I love Olivia so much)- Her Lycanroc outsped a lot of my vital team members including my own Lycanroc so taking it down was a matter of playing my cards right, healing at the right time and attacking at the right time. The rest of her team put up a good fight, especially her Probopass. Olivia kept overriding my Milotic's Rain Dance with Sandstorm and whenever I tried to attack using Hydro Pump, she'd have Probopass use Thunder Wave and slow down my Milotic majorly. I was down to 3 Pokémon once I managed to defeat Olivia.
3. Acerola- Tried taking advantage of my Lycanroc and Arcanine both knowing Crunch, but most of her Pokémon outsped them both (Which, might I add, *were my FASTEST POKÉMON*) so I once again had to play my cards right and not just rely on type advantages. Down to 4 Pokémon once I defeated her.
4. Kahili- Her setting up with Spikes through her Skarmory was incredibly smart and crafty. None of my Pokémon were airborne so I had to put up with damage all around my team, and she was definitely not a pushover. Down to only my Lycanroc when I managed to defeat her.
All this while this intense, powerful, fast-paced, and utterly badass Elite Four theme is blaring through my 3DS's speakers. *Well fucking done, Game Freak.*
Acerola's cute face will be your worst nightmare. Seriously.
Also why doesn't see have Mimikyu? Would've been fitting
Nightmare mode
M Gengar
Mimikyu
Shedinja
Aejislash
Dusknoir
And Spiritomb.
That is a SLICK team, yo! XD
...Man, what has Team Skull done to me.
And after you beat the game the members of the Elite 4 get one legendary Pokemon that matches their type theme.
Acerola: Giratina (Origin Forme).

Man, my favourite character here is Acerola, she's just so cuh-yute!

Currently going through an Elite Four themes nostalgia run and I’m getting emotional? So many memories. 26 and still playing Pokémon 😭👊🏼
Never is too old to play Pokemon
I remember walking on the beach of that resort in sun and moon and then talking to the guy who was like” this rich families daughter focuses in flying types and beat all the island challenges” me sweet too bad she’s off in another region. Little did I know...
Hala: STOP RIGHT THERE AND-oh 💩 he’s got Lunala
Olivia: FEAR MY RUGGED LITTLE-... nice giant water bubble...
Acerola: BEHOLD THE POWER OF ROYAL-... SINCE WHEN CAN BEYONCÉ IN SEAL FORM USE SHADOW BALL?!?!
Kahili: FORE! o wait I lost already
Acerola's Dhelmise would like to know your location

When they make a new elite four, they should have fairy and normal as 2 of them.
Edit: The next elite 4 SHOULD be electric, normal, grass, and fairy. (The only types that haven't been part of the elite 4)
Robbie W Totally. Agree.
Grass Elite Four using Breloom with Spore
Electric Elite Four using Rotom-Wash with Volt Switch and Hydro Pump
Fairy Elite Four using Azumarill with Belly Drum
Normal Elite Four using Snorlax and Blissey
Please, Game Freak, make this happen!!
how bout the grass type use ferrothorn instead
Robbie W oh we can do all of those...except the fucking OP fairy type
Robbie W *nuzzles my Lucario* we'll teach the fairy type person whose the boss.
This song radiates chaos
Especially at times like 0:53
Agreed
Hala was kind of a joke for me since he kept using Fake Out on my Mimikyu, letting me get to +6 with swords dance.
Mimikyu counters Hala really well.
Mojo Robo that E4 was actually difficult for me cause I had 2 dark types
Mimikyu counters everyone. I more or less sweeped the E4 with him. Probably would have taken out half of Kukui's team if Mimikyu hadn't choked and missed Play Rough twice.
Then again my Mimikyu was level 67 because he's been my lead Pokemon for the past 10 or so hours of gameplay.
Ice well, my team was absolute garbage, because I was picking the pokemon based on appearance
Kemo_Meme I usually pick based on a combination of that. Result was 4 fairy types on my team (Primarina, Ribombee, Mimikyu, Ninetails) and a horrible weakness to Poison. Almst got wiped by a random trainer's Garbodor lmao
Ice I remember that Garbodor, my weakness is really horrible though, Almost all the fighting types I faced had dark moves, which basically destroyed my Espeon, My Raticate was 4X weak to fighting, my Dugtrio was X2 weak to fighting, and my fire starter was X2 weak to fighting, my Mismagious also had a weakness to dark so it was not an option, I had a 10% Zygarde but it had horrible defense
I swear Acerola is the cutest thing in the world
So true dat
I simply watched her dance in the battle for 15mins xD
I see similarities between her and Mismagius. Purple colour scheme, kitty face mouth, whacky hair.
And creepy, I suppose.
It's a crime that she doesn't have an espurr, or at least meowstic. Cute and creepy. I swear it's like this missed opportunity of having a honEDGElord.
Well, Espurr isn't in the Alola 'Dex and S/M doesn't have National, so it'd be out of place if she did.
That's a really spooky theme for a golf player. Man, i don't wanna know how hard she owns people at golf.
This theme’s vibe is in complete contrast to the island kahuna themes, the theme is genuinely intimidating, making sure the player knows these people are ready to kick your butt.
I'd say Kahili was my favourite elite four memeber. She was the only one who had any place being there IMO. The others we'd already battled at some point or another so we already knew what they'd be running (even Mo in USUM I felt like had no place in the elite four). She comes out of nowhere like "I finished my island challenge and left Alola to become stronger, now I'll show you how strong I am". This is what the elite four should have been. Trainers who'd finished their trials, beat all the captains, and proved they were stronger than all of them. Especially since the professor mentioned the Kanto elite four creamed him. Surely he'd want trainers he knew were strong enough to take on those guys.
she left alola for golfing, people talk about her that she's the daughter of one the resort with golf field,
