Hey everyone, just wanted to address something regarding Allister's entry! I am aware that Curse works differently on Cursola. In all honesty, from doing different videos that talk about curse and the different effects it has on ghost types just slipped my mind because of how often I was talking about how it works on non-ghost type Pokemon. That's my bad for sure! However, I still do not believe the order of things changes at all even with the correct effect taken into consideration!
One of the biggest examples of “Early gym leader aren’t always the weakest” is Whitney being stronger than freaking Pryce. (In my experience at least.)
For me beating her was tougher than Claire.I remember it took hours on my first Pokémon gold run (my first Pokémon game ever) and I didn't know fighting type moves countered miltank.Good days xd
Whitney depends a lot on your team. I'm playing Crystal for the first time right now and I had no trouble with Miltank because I used Fury Cutter, but I've gotten destroyed twice already by Morty's Gengar.
Me that has a drednaw, Barraskewda, and Gyarados : Alright, all of these are physical attackers and those Pokèmon have not so good defenses, we should be fine Kabu : **haha Will-O-Wisp go whoshhhh**
I disagree. I do believe there’s a little more to it than that. For example, if you want to play at your most optimal against Gordie, you may be switching around a lot. When I played through my Sword Nuzlocke, I was switching around a lot. I used my Inteleon against much of his team, but I had to switch to my Diggersby to take down his Coalossal, mainly out of fear of Steam Engine.
In my opinion, Allister and Bea should be switched because unlike Bea, Allister doesn't have any coverage against his main weakness: Dark. While Bea, has at least one dark move on 3/4 of her team, including gygantamax Machamp.
To be fair, even with the change, it doesn't boost hex because it only gets boosted by status effects that continue even if switched, so it's still kind of useless with hex on everything.
@@mismismism Oh no I know it doesn't help hex, still more useful than boost it's strength and defense lowering the speed though. Used on the right pokemon it does some solid damage.
Yeah that stupid quiz questionnaire can ruin your plan horribly, especially since on your first try you think you've guessed right, and then she says, "Oh, I don't like your answer, so I'll just take off some sp defense from your pokemon." She one shot one of my pokemon cause I answered 88 years instead of 16 and then lowered my sp def. I HATED her gym battle.
No Allister is the hardest. I've always had to win by using revives and potions because his Pokemon always hit way too hard for my frail teams. His Cursola somehow absolutely DEMOLISHED me on my second attemp, and I used a Linoone (it was only level 33).
For me Kabu was the hardest. Most of my team at that time was still either not fully evolved or in their first stage (Drizzile, Dottler, Corvisquire, Galarian Meowth, Toxel, and Silicobra). I had to pop two revives to win that battle. My little sister had trouble with Kabu too, winning by just 7 HP on her Boltund only because Centiscorch went for coil instead of ending the fight; she also got demolished by Alister 3 times before finally beating him (mostly because of Cursola and Gengar).
Mystic: *doesn’t say “we got shirts on sale” at the start of the vid* Me: DIAL 999 (911 in the U.S.) 999: hello? What ur emergency? Me: Mystic didn’t say we got shirts on sale at the start of his video 999: ... ... !
Ngl, I feel like Gordie should’ve been second. He was REALLY easy, especially if you have intellion. But this is your list, this was just my opinion :)
@@thejuic3b0i64 I didn't, it absolutely destroyed me during my first battle. Although I think he should send his stonjourner first, to try and set up stealth rock.
How about doing a Ranking of the Gym Leader Rematches among the various games, using things like the PWT, Saffron Dojo Rematches in HGSS, Battle Grounds Rematches in DPP, Wyndon Rematches, etc.
Uhh, wouldn't Cursola's curse be the version that cuts it's HP to inflict damage over time? I'm not saying that would change his placement or anything, but I'm pretty sure that's what happens with Ghost types.
If Nessa's Goldeen had had Lighting Rod as an ability it would have been a much better challenge, especially in the Champion Cup. And Piers not having a Dynamax doesn't affect his battle since you can't Dynamax either.
Did he forget that curse does something different on ghost types? When he talks about Cursola having curse he said that all it does is buff two of its weaker stats but it wont do that cause hes ghost type. Instead it will cut down Cursolas health and deal damage at the end of each turn to your pokemon.
Melony wasn’t a hard fight for me but I LOVE the ice types of this gen so much. Her team is just fascinating. I really hope ice and hail teams make a big comeback this gen because I love SO many of the ice types this gen. Also in gen 4 remakes, Aaron and Candice are gonna be the hardest they could ever be with their options in a rematch battle now with gen 8. Don’t let me down with post game difficulty gamefreak. I’m too hyped for gen 4 coming back eventually to be disappointed after 10 years.
1) maybe u should have made this using the stadium rematches 2) honestly I'd wish they would make the gym leaders more competitive based in games 3) love Piers battle music
For me, Bea was my main challenge. Once I got to her, I lost several times! I had to change my team to fit in a Psychic type JUST to beat her. She was the by far the most difficult for me, and no other gym leader had me stuck like that.
Thi-Antra Chirasarn Maxie is the leader of team magma, Team magma comes from hoenn, Kabu also comes from Hoenn, this guys Theory is valid and idk what you said
valid question Am i the only one who found Raihan easy as hell? Maybe its just cause im a seasoned double battler but he just felt so easy to take down
Nessa actually gave me a hard time when I first played, mostly because I picked Scorbunny as my starter, and because the Yamper that I had trained up to fight her Drednaw was still a bit too underleveled.
@@latrodectusmactans7592 Honestly, I prefer to go and wait out a visible wild Eevee, catch it and use the Leaf Stone in Turffield to evolve it into a leafeon, and its razorleaf completely wrecked Nessa.
I do love the gym leaders of this region because I love how sporty they dress and act and also how into it with battles they are! Melon and Raihan really are my favorites ❤️
It's nice to see an ice type gym leader in the top three. I can't wait for the next one! Bring in a double teaming Weavile and buff as f*** Walrein. Sorry, I've revealed to much...
it pisses me off when they give leaders 3 moves instead of 4. like they could have just put will o wisp thunder wave or literally anything for the ghost leader instead of making it blank
Honestly I think gordie is the easiest, I always sweep through his team since there are a lot of water and fighting type options in the reigon and also 2 starter types beat it I also think Nessa is really hard. The only real counters that you can get at that point being eldegoss and thwackey. You only have a 1/3 chance of getting thwackey and eldegoss is not a really appealing pokemon to use as it's pretty weak. Obviously if you pick scorbunny you will struggle but I found it difficult with sobble because razor shell just swept me when i couldnt beat it in its dynamax
I think Kabu is the hardest cause I always struggle against him. I almost lost to him in my first play through of sword and also shield. But I didn't pick sobble though.
I think you forgot about the fact that Opal has questions... and if you are careless and accidentally click the wrong answer (like the kids are fighting and while you yell at them, you click wrong), you can have your stats lowered... I mean, none of the leaders are actually tough... except maybe Raihan (but that's cause before him, you don't really have a double battle... so he throws you off; and it's still not that bad).
My playthrough of Sword must have been weird, as I struggled with Nessa and Gordie (probably due to my starter being Cinderace) But I just steamrolled over Rihan. Honestly, I am very positively surprised by the difficulty of Gen 8 games. I heard that they continued the trend of getting easier and easier, so I was really happy to see Gym leaders having reasonable levels (feels like these games were designed with build-in EXP share in mind) and getting more mons as the time goes on. Although I feel like Piers and Rihan should have been given one more pokemon.
Kabu is probably the most underrated galar gym leader tbh. But damn son I honestly thank god that thwackey can learn taunt lmao, cause I had a Axew, Thwackey, and G max machamp going against him (got it from raid event). Cause I was gonna get swept by willo wisp 😂 Edit: My axew moveset was Crunch, dragon claw, slash, and Dragon dance. My thwackey was branch poke, razor leaf, taunt, and knock off. And my machamp was Revenge, Wide guard, scary face, and knock off.
Mine Nessa Milo Gordie Kabu Melony Bea Alister Piers Opal Raihan My experience (Based on the number of times I had to heal) Nessa Gordie Milo Kabu Bea Raihan Piers Opal The bottom 5 I beat on my first try
Raihan was not that hard at all, I understand the stats and competitiveness, but I beat him so much easier Melony and even Peirs but I had literally no problem wiping the floor with him.
I think Madame Opal was harder than you gave her credit for. You didn't even mention her incredibly cheap gimmick, her quizzes. By the time you fight her, even if you get a answer right, she'll still decrease one of your pokemon's stats. Making it more difficult. But I guess that can be mended by switching out your Pokemon.
Mystic: Melony didn't quite make the top spot due to Raihan's new and improved fighting style using the weather and elements, which we've never seen before in pokemon Me: SHE THICCCCCQQQQQQQQ!!!!
Bea and Kabu were the only hard ones for me. Bea actually beat me the first time. My waaay overleveled applin swept Gordie and my excadrill, named Toph, knew high horsepower and poison jab. He beat the crap out of Opal, (and Olleana and Rose) and OHKOd dureladon after tanking a max knuckle. Applin wiped flygon, gigalith, and sandaconda.
Hey! I had a hard time with Alister as I feel from experience that he's way harder than Bea. When I went up against Bea I had an issue with g-max machamp.
People think opal is the hardest gym leader because of her unfair quizzes if you get the questions wrong (you will almost definitely get them wrong unless someone tells you) For me the hardest gym leaders were melony and allister The easiest were Milo (obviously) and Raihan
Not true on my first playthrough the only ones I got wrong was the age and color. And all you have to do is just switch out so I don’t see the problem.
I think you mixed something up in the end. You claim Heavy Metal affects Duraludon's Body Press, increasing its' damage. However, that's not true, as Body Press is affected by the Physical Defense stat of a Pokémon, being stronger the higher the stat, and Duraludon does have high Defense stat. Heavy Slam, the Steel-type move, is affected by the weight of the Pokémon. However, I learned through my studies that even Heavy Slam doesn't do a whole lot for Duraludon, as despite his looks, his original weight is 40kg, or 88.2 lbs. Even if that weight is doubled by Heavy Metal, that would put Duraludon at the same weight as a Kangaskhan, Starmie, or a Galarian Rapidash. My point is that Body Press and Heavy Slam are totally different to what you think, but Body Press is still powerful for Duraludon.
I agree with this list, but i'd have put Kabu in top 4. Having fully evolved pokemon so early, so fast and with will-o-wisp, can really catch anyone off-guard. His strategy is setting up for his boss pokemon, that hits very hard. He's tougher than he looks
This set of the gym leaders is not to my expectations. Don't get me wrong I like the story but I mowed down Shield in a sweep. The toughest one to me was Alistair.
@@Youtubnium His Flygon's breaking swipe lowered my attack down so that it took 5 hits to bring down Sandaconda. And breaking swipe hits both pokemon on your side. Only problem is he doesn't use any pokemon with sand force or sand rush. That'd really be annoying.
I feel dmax and gmax holds back some of the gym leaders final mons. Got great non attacking moves that wont be used as youll likely beat them before their dmax or gmax runs through its 3 turns which makes these moves pointless
I actually had a bit of a easy time with the 8th Gym Battle for both versions. Using the Sandstorm to my advantage with Exciadrill for Sword, & change the weather for Shield.
I feel the same way. I nuzlocked it and honestly didn’t have a problem with any gym leaders at all. It’s weird to see people saying they lost to some gym leaders
Did everyone here prepare for the gyms? I had rillaboom Corviknight boltund ->Toxtricity phantump->Grimmsnarl Gastrodon and nothing until Mr.Rime. Anyone else just wing it with whatever you found?

OK mystic it's happening from gen 1 I think
@Thomas Irwin I wouldn't say Winoma is weak but she can be taken out easily
Why didn't rank then when they have a full team?
@Thomas Irwin well altaria with dragon dance and earthquake will wreck manectric but still if you have a manectric try to paralyse altaria
@Thomas Irwin ok
One of the biggest examples of “Early gym leader aren’t always the weakest” is Whitney being stronger than freaking Pryce. (In my experience at least.)

Omg WHITNEY!! *shivers in cow*
Me that has a drednaw, Barraskewda, and Gyarados : Alright, all of these are physical attackers and those Pokèmon have not so good defenses, we should be fine
Kabu : **haha Will-O-Wisp go whoshhhh**
You better bring burn heal!
Ev Ol or just bring a Carkoal or a Coalossal
Gotta Craft ‘Em all Blane. I was making joke about Blane.
Ev Ol I know
Gotta Craft ‘Em all Okay
Love how you use Kabus animation for the title card! I seriously think it is one of my favorites in the games.
I found Opal to be very easy with my Corviknight.
Empoleon77
Same. I just tore through her entire team with Steel Wing
Yep.
To be fair all the gym leaders can be taken out with 1 or 2 moves
I disagree. I do believe there’s a little more to it than that. For example, if you want to play at your most optimal against Gordie, you may be switching around a lot. When I played through my Sword Nuzlocke, I was switching around a lot. I used my Inteleon against much of his team, but I had to switch to my Diggersby to take down his Coalossal, mainly out of fear of Steam Engine.
I lost to rihan onces and the second time I battled him i won
I see Spikemouth as the strongest Her damn obstagoon is annoying
I haven’t played sword but the hardest fights were Kabu, Allister, and Raihan. I found everyone else, especially Piers to be real pushovers
In my opinion, Allister and Bea should be switched because unlike Bea, Allister doesn't have any coverage against his main weakness: Dark. While Bea, has at least one dark move on 3/4 of her team, including gygantamax Machamp.
She also has Bullet Punch on Pangoro, so even Fairies have some resistance.
Here is my ranking of the Galar Gym Leaders 9, Milo worst 8, Nessa 7, Alister 6, Bea 5, Kabu 4, Opal 3, Pier 2, Melony 1, Raihan Best.
You forgot Gordie
Nessa can be hard but Raihan is challenging also Opal is hard too.
Curse works different for ghost types remember...
He forgot
To be fair, even with the change, it doesn't boost hex because it only gets boosted by status effects that continue even if switched, so it's still kind of useless with hex on everything.
@@mismismism Oh no I know it doesn't help hex, still more useful than boost it's strength and defense lowering the speed though. Used on the right pokemon it does some solid damage.

I'm glad Melony is at number 2. People constantly shit on ice types and she genuinely gave me a hard time, despite me picking Scorbunny.
Yeah It just goes to show that every type can be strong, all you have to do is use it right
She literally carried the ice type Gym Leaders alone the Other ice gyms from past generations are easy AF to beat
Melony is not in Pokemon Sword though
Her Eiscue FROZE my Cinderace after it took no damage from pyro ball! so yeah, i consider her tough.
I got sword so i didn't get to face her
Id like to see their "true" teams. Then i feel like the list would be more...accurate
Heck yeah

If you saw the Barbaracle coming then yeah
@@thejuic3b0i64 I didn't, it absolutely destroyed me during my first battle. Although I think he should send his stonjourner first, to try and set up stealth rock.
Gordie is very easy. Rock is such a bad type defensively and I don’t think Stonjourner and Shuckle do his team any favors.
He is biased against Gordie.
No “we got shirts for sale”?

yeah he blanked on that
yeay he screwed up there
That’s what I was thinking.
and Heavy Metal doesn't affect Body Press.
If Dusknoir got the boosting curse instead of the half hp loss curse, people might actually freaking use Dusknoir more often.
If Nessa's Goldeen had had Lighting Rod as an ability it would have been a much better challenge, especially in the Champion Cup. And Piers not having a Dynamax doesn't affect his battle since you can't Dynamax either.

as a fan of the ice type seeing the ice leader as second strongest makes me happy.
just bellow dragon

Im not last

Nessa’s Drednaw actually gave me a lot of trouble on my latest play through because my team was only Raboot, Corvisquire, and Linoone at the time.
Nessa is hell for Nuzlocking if you don’t start with Grookey. It’s very easy to not have a single Grass type by the time you reach her in a Nuzlocke.

curse actually when used by a ghost type,actually cuts either 1/4 to 1/2 hp to put a curse on the opponents pokemon
you should do a best possible 8 gym leaders, for example brock as the 1st, kabu as the 3rd, elisa as the 4th etc
Milo’s team: exists
Fire types: coffin dance meme
or a flying type or a bug type or a ice type

it pisses me off when they give leaders 3 moves instead of 4. like they could have just put will o wisp thunder wave or literally anything for the ghost leader instead of making it blank
Milo might be the weakest but i bet he could out lift all of them my guy is hench🤣
not sure about gordie though
13:35 why would Heavy Metal go well with Body Press? The calculation takes Defense into account, not weight.
Allister and melony are better than gordie and bea(type advanadge)
Kabu put up a good fight for a third gym leader
I actually really like the Galar gym leaders
Honestly I think gordie is the easiest,
I always sweep through his team since there are a lot of water and fighting type options in the reigon and also 2 starter types beat it
I also think Nessa is really hard. The only real counters that you can get at that point being eldegoss and thwackey. You only have a 1/3 chance of getting thwackey and eldegoss is not a really appealing pokemon to use as it's pretty weak. Obviously if you pick scorbunny you will struggle but I found it difficult with sobble because razor shell just swept me when i couldnt beat it in its dynamax
I think Kabu is the hardest cause I always struggle against him. I almost lost to him in my first play through of sword and also shield. But I didn't pick sobble though.
I think you forgot about the fact that Opal has questions... and if you are careless and accidentally click the wrong answer (like the kids are fighting and while you yell at them, you click wrong), you can have your stats lowered...

Raihan was not that hard at all, I understand the stats and competitiveness, but I beat him so much easier Melony and even Peirs but I had literally no problem wiping the floor with him.

Bro I request 😫😣🙏🙏u please post what if serena was in galar 2 I want to listen full story🙂🙂
I like that Nessa and Bea is the only gym leaders I almost lost to
Lol I always bring ryhon as my partner in the post game tournament
That gmax duraladon looks like a sky scraper lol hes really tough to beat u need like a cinderace and a dragapult
Honestly, Kabu was the only hard one for me, all the others were incredibly easy, and this still remained true when I played the game a second time
I don't see how people struggle with gym leaders, all of them are weak.
My favorite gym leader in the galar region is:Bea but his team is not that good but its her design is good
Dude, the easiest one is opal if you plan ahead. youll literally will sweep her team if you get questions wrong
Bea and Kabu were the only hard ones for me. Bea actually beat me the first time. My waaay overleveled applin swept Gordie and my excadrill, named Toph, knew high horsepower and poison jab.

Hey! I had a hard time with Alister as I feel from experience that he's way harder than Bea. When I went up against Bea I had an issue with g-max machamp.
I destroyed Raihan. Literally just use Gastrodon and you’re good
What moves did your Gastrodon have?
R.I.P. “We got shirts on sale!”
Opal was the hardest one for me.
How were supposed to know those answers on a blind run?

The easiest were Milo (obviously) and Raihan

However, I learned through my studies that even Heavy Slam doesn't do a whole lot for Duraludon, as despite his looks, his original weight is 40kg, or 88.2 lbs. Even if that weight is doubled by Heavy Metal, that would put Duraludon at the same weight as a Kangaskhan, Starmie, or a Galarian Rapidash.
My point is that Body Press and Heavy Slam are totally different to what you think, but Body Press is still powerful for Duraludon.
Ok not gonna lie I had the hardest time with Nessa
What team did you have in my opinion nessa is the 2nd easiest
@@Youtubnium Scorbunny, Budew, and Arrokuda but my budew was really under leveled
Alejandro Lossada oh that’s makes sense now.
We finally reached the Galar gym leaders!!!..
Yay..... not that exciting.
Jakewebmaster8 respect the dude’s opinion just cause you don’t like em don’t mean someone else can’t be excited.
I don't not like them.
I agree with this list, but i'd have put Kabu in top 4.
Having fully evolved pokemon so early, so fast and with will-o-wisp, can really catch anyone off-guard.
His strategy is setting up for his boss pokemon, that hits very hard.
He's tougher than he looks
Melony kabu and raihan are probably my top 3 glarian gym leaders
This set of the gym leaders is not to my expectations. Don't get me wrong I like the story but I mowed down Shield in a sweep. The toughest one to me was Alistair.
The only real obstacle for me was Raihan. That stupid Sandaconda with Glare.
@@Youtubnium His Flygon's breaking swipe lowered my attack down so that it took 5 hits to bring down Sandaconda. And breaking swipe hits both pokemon on your side.
Only problem is he doesn't use any pokemon with sand force or sand rush. That'd really be annoying.
Raven aether7.10 in all of my playthroughs usually one of my Pokémon has a super-effective move so Flygon wasn’t really a problem for me.
Would be much more interesting if you used the league version, that way everyone's failures come from even footing
I'll played shield so it was harder according to this video, also zamazenta was useless to me
I took zamazenta off my team when having to face Hop with the zacian because he kept beating me my first playthrough
Using stone edge on a shuckle is like giving physical moves on an alakazam
Kabu and Gordie should've been swapped.
Gordie dies to any Water and Grass attacks.
Ground and Fighting too.
Rock is a really bad type.
I feel dmax and gmax holds back some of the gym leaders final mons. Got great non attacking moves that wont be used as youll likely beat them before their dmax or gmax runs through its 3 turns which makes these moves pointless
Raihan's the strongest and the *HOTTEST*
Melony must be the strongest ice type gym leader:
Pryce: 4th strongest
Candice: 6th strongest
Brycen: 5th strongest
Wulfric: 2nd strongest.....from behind
Melony: 2nd strongest
2th
You only need an orbeetle to win against Bea.
give your cinderace low kick and duraludon will drop easily due to heavy metal
For some reason I found the 4th gyms in both games, so alister and bea, very hard
Fourth gym is a big level jump and Gengar and Machamp have crazy high attacking stats.
Piers is the strongest... Obviously.
Sir please make alternative starter best teams for hgss
I actually had a bit of a easy time with the 8th Gym Battle for both versions. Using the Sandstorm to my advantage with Exciadrill for Sword, & change the weather for Shield.
Alister was actually hard for me
I don't rlly remember any of the gym leaders or elite 4 being all that difficult. It was such an easy game imo
I feel the same way. I nuzlocked it and honestly didn’t have a problem with any gym leaders at all. It’s weird to see people saying they lost to some gym leaders
Ask anyone nessa is stupidly strong
Nessa was literally by far the hardest for me. I almost lost to her where as with all the other gym leaders I beat them all relatively easy.
did you pick scorbunny
Yes, and she somehow managed to take out my Yamper in 2 hits
Same here. Almost had Miltank flashbacks because of that damn Dreadnaw.
@@Drums_of_Liberation the way Drednaw doubles its speed and water attacks is pure evil
I knew Raihan would be #1.
Me who just did raids and accidentally ended up overleveled for the majority of the game
The hardest ones for me throughout my playthroughs of Sword and Shield were Kabu, Bea, Allister, and Raihan
Can you ranks antagonists from weakest to strongest next? I can’t find anyone that’s done that.
Did everyone here prepare for the gyms? I had rillaboom Corviknight boltund ->Toxtricity phantump->Grimmsnarl Gastrodon and nothing until Mr.Rime.
Anyone else just wing it with whatever you found?
