My favorite thing is when you throw a mon out to fight it while standing in the center, they put you and your mon close enough to make it seem like they are shielding you.

Pearl clan: Lord avalugg hasn't done anything to harm anyone. He's fine Boi... *IF HE DECIDES TO WAKE UP AND CHOOSE VIOLENCE THAT BIG ASS BLOCK IF ICE AND ROCK WILL WIPE YOU OFF THE MAP! LET ME QUELL HIM*
think of it this way a hefty, rock armored pokemon really fast and capable of timbering trees in one hit with it's crude axes, a dancer with an unpredictable rhythm, swift moves and strafes, a mountain lion capable of surpassing the heat of lava, walking on it and even attacking with it, and a mountain sized ancient being dubbed as the lord of the tundra, all get surpassed in difficulty by a stupid wooden ball with seeds for brains
@@trulyplasmatic Arcanine seems to be based on a dog. Hisui Arcanine in particular, a komainu (Japanese shrine guard dog) The mountain lion you're thinking of is Entei. Yes, the three legendary "dogs" are actually cats. Entei is a lion, Suicune is a panther, and Raikou a tiger.
tbh Avalugg was the most difficult for me. that fucker straight up threw at me the whole fucking north pole, refused to elaborate and then killed me. 5 times.
Kleavor: Has predictable and straight forward attack patterns Liligant: Shows you the importance of dodging and timing Arcanine: Shows you the importance of being aware of the hazard within the terrain instead of just on your target alone Avalugg: Teaches you on how to be precise on hitting a target whilst dodging at the same time. Electrode: *SCREW YOU TIME TO DIE!*
Arcanine does have a move combination that is impossible to not get hit. If it does the fire in the middle of the map and then does the big charge attack with the fire orbs, the fire in the middle prevents you from actually hitting Arcanine, disabling the attack, no matter what angle you throw at you won't hit it.
@@renegade7032 That is 100% untrue. If you aim high enough, you are perfectly capable of making your balms hit Arcanine from the opposite side of the arena. And I was able to pull it off during the rematch, so I speak from experience.
If anything, Electrode is the first to teach you that mindlessly spamming your balms isn't always going to work out for you. Sometimes you just have to take it slow, stay on the defensive while getting the occasional chip damage in, and wait for a proper opening.
I think it's perfect for them to revisit Galar if they were to go with that idea - they should revisit Galar and make it better and show the potential it had with Sw/Sh
More like Cuphead boss (especially the likes of Grim Matchstick, Dr. Kahl's robot, and Rumor Honeybottoms). You see, between Cuphead and Dark Souls, the former is harder. But even it pales in comparison to games from the 80's and 90's.
Arcanine’s is just plain menacing I mean man just stands up and starts *walking* towards you everyone’s got these cool opening cutscene type things and he just walks across the lava towards you.
I mean it gets the most story out of the other Nobles. It was a young pup who learned to step up and take the late Lord’s mantle. When Growlithe evolved into Arcanine and got the frenzy on top of it I was really excited for our showdown.
@@fataleflare sorry, but in my point of view it doesn't have to be all about gen 1, like we already have arcanine and it's not like other generations can't have their shine time

Little late to the party but here are all of the hidden gen 4 motifs in this song 0:15 is the wild pokemon battle theme intro (it's faint but if you listen closely, you'll hear it) 0:17 is also a segment of the wild pokemon battle theme that loops. It's the part in the middle right before the original song loops again 0:22 the background step sequence is a subtle reference to the lake theme, specifically the intro steps of the theme, but pitched down by about a halfstep and continued downward past the original composition. It might be fair to call this a stretch but I feel as if it's supposed to be a reference to the lake theme 1:07 is the whole wild battle theme instead of the intro excerpt 1:48 The piano part is an excerpt of the intro to the Dialga/Palkia battle theme 1:55 is possibly a slight reference to the main melody in Arceus's battle theme, specifically the part where it's the part of the song that's played by a low brass section, but it's sped up to fit the flow of this high-energy song 2:00 is a definite reference to the intro timpani solo from Arceus's battle theme. And outside of the Noble introduction themes, those are all of the motifs i could find in this rearrangement. Of course, the main motif is the wild pokemon battle theme, but there are some motifs in this song that I dont hear many talk about. Reply any motifs that I may have missed that you might hear in this song
Avalugg was HUGE for a supposedly normal Pokémon. I think SwSh and Dynamax everywhere made us forget that normal Pokémon aren’t supposed to be that huge! Part of me half expected to see Galar Particles leave his body after calming him down. But it still begs the question, why in the world is he SO HUGE?! And what other Pokémon could theoretically amp up their permanent size that way? Could Dynamax somehow become a permanent effect through other means than we explored in SwSh? Or is it something else entirely?
I believe it may have more to do with how as time went on Avalugg (as a population) used to be relatively large (like wailord), however unlike wailord they got small over time for some strange reason
@@countcooki7603 would explain the loss of the rock type, getting smaller caused them to need to get lighter, thus ejecting the rock out of their bodies trough evolution
This was epic music. This game in general has such amazing ost, with tracks like the Sinnoh Legendary Pokemon theme and the day/night themes being quite good.
Well in their defense, they're all melting away: Avalugg: 6'07" (2.0 m) and 1113.3 lbs. (505.0 kg) Hisuian forme: 4'07" (1.4m) and 578.5 lbs. (262.4 kg)
@@russellw6872 But if we’re following the canon timeline, the Hisuian population did all die out at some point, but as a new population got reestablished in Kalos, it must have dropped the Rock typing in favour of becoming pure Ice.
@@williamsapong81 Always possible that regular Avalugg still existed is Kalos at this time, and that it was only in Huisui did they change forme/died out/whatever happened. We only really know what's happening in Huisui/Sinnoh, not anywhere else for this time period.
@@russellw6872 Yeah, though I personally think that Wulfric's Avalugg is a descendant of Noble Avalugg. Mostly because Wulfric looks and acts too much like Gaeric not to be related to him.
I think difficulty of the nobles change depending on your playstyle. For the balm spammers, electrode would be the worst nightmare since it does not give you time to aim and throw. For me, who would keep dodging and throw balms after the pokemon battle, finished electrode in 1st try, But took many tries in arcanine battle. That fire spin on the middle is such an ass. Avalugg was difficult too, since the icicle spam was faster than the recovery of tumbling. And hint only tells how to dodge ice beam and nothing about icicles, it was frustrating on my part.
Yeah electrode was definitely hardest for me, it took me two tries. The rest only took one and avalugg was easier than arcanine and electrode personally
Electrode ONLY took me two tries because I didn’t restart when I died, which I still feel guilty about tbh. It feels like cheating. :/ But yeah! I agree, and it’s honestly really cool.
Is it just me but Arcanine and Avalugg we're the hardest fights out of all of them? Arcanine shoots a weird fire ring that doesn't go away until a period of time and if your trapped, it's hard to dodge out his way. Avalugg was a bit less hard but it was still challenging to throw balms while dodging his ice balls and spears.
@@dappershinx9234 the thing is, when he place the fire in the middle, and uses the orb move that covers the entire stage and *he's on the opposite platform* shit just ends right then and there
What makes this music so amazing to me is how the entire time you're throwing balms the melody is rising and rising, building up to something then when you actually enter battle the melody settles into the remix of the main battle theme. So satisfying to my years
These fights were the most epic fights that Gamefreak has ever produced. From the intro all the way to the end of the fight, I felt like I was in mortal danger. THIS is how you craft a boss battle.
That transition moment I feel is what sells the whole experience. Having it happen as you hit the Noble to initiate the battle, especially when it happens with Lord Avalugg, it gives me goosebumps on goosebumps.
@@seanakima50515e they restored it. As genesect was a fossil pokemon that they then upgraded with a new armored body and the cannon on its back that could be outfitted with the drives to change its typing. it was to assist N once he took over team plasma in taking over the world but N denied Genesect when they presented it to him as he said it was unnatural and had no need for it anyways. its all in its bw2 event. so if a legends game for gen 5 happened we wouldnt see genesect but maybe its orignal un augmented form instead.
Of all of these, I died to Electrode and Avalugg the most Electrode will just spam bombs and make it difficult to dodge, when it’s finally defeated it feels satisfying after a tough fight Avalugg on the other hand… *IT TOOK ME ALMOST THE SAME AMOUNT OF TRIES AS ELECTRODE TO BEAT BEING 11 TRIES*
Why do people struggle with Avalugg? Most of its attacks are so slow and clearly telegraphed, while the one that isn't is fine if you keep sidestepping it. I actually found this one the easiest.
I love how the part where you beat the absolute shit out of them has the main melody of the D/P/Pt battle theme being played on a synth, it feels like the game is trying to tell you that it's just like you used to in your past in the future, and then the Palkia/Dialga piano also gives the idea that you've dealt with worse and are also blessed by Arceus. Love that shit
Diablos’ charges Rajang’s slams Teostra’s running around and danger areas Bazelgeuse’s bombing Ukanlos’s ice attacks As a Monster Hunter fan, I enjoyed these fights far more than I’d have expected
Entrances of every noble Pokemon Kleavor: cutting ma trees Liligant: stand name: dancer Arcanine: lava? Pfft more like a pool Electrode: random babies, go! Avalugg: it's a mountain, and a Pokemon!
Spirit Battle Idea: Kleavor: Villager (Yellow Alt) Prefers Smash attacks Lilligant: Zero Suit Samus (Green Alt) Jumps around alot Arcanine: Duck Hunt (Default) Impact Run with Spicy Curry Electrode: Kirby (Yellow or Red Alt) Starts with Bomber and Keeps Raining from the Ground Avalugg: K Rool (Blue Alt) Prefers Specials and Starts with Freezie All Spirit Battles will have them be Giant and Start Gold
it took me way too long to realize the Noble Pokemon's encounter themes each have a portion of the wild Pokemon theme in it. and i love that detail so much
Preach,Dear God,That fight is hard. Origin Dialga and Palkia are super easy, since the attacks are easily telegraphed and they stay in One Spot,making it way too easy to hit them with balms
Honestly these bosses were really cool, only one I didn’t care dire much was Kleavor. Was kind of boring, though maybe I should try it out again. I liked Liligant, when you successfully dodged her attacks it was really rewarding. Arcanine was pretty good, the opening scene was definitely one of my favourites, and I loved the mechanic of it being able to walk through the lava. Voltorb was a BITC- Seriously, it was really challenging, and it was a decent fight but God the electro-balls were SUCH a pain in the a- Anyways, Avaluggs was amazing. Seeing it for the first time was CRAZY. I knew it’d be big but I thought all the dialogue referring to that was just a “yeah its descendants were huge”. It was a really cool surprise. (Pun intended) I kind of wish we weren’t stuck on one small piece of land tho Also, I loved the fact that there genuinely felt like there were different ways you could handle the bosses. I usually tried to hit them every little chance I got, (which definitely had its pay off), but I usually ended up with some pretty close calls for wins. My little sister instead focused on dodging and then she threw balms when she beat them in battle. Anyways I just think these bosses are neat
This theme gives me mystery dungeon vibes, especially the little bit at the beginning. I can't place my finger where I've heard it, but it does give me those vibes
Honestly, I really dig how crazy the new Noble's Pokémon look. Who knows, maybe one day a "Pokémon, Legend Deoxys" will be a thing, and Nosepass will get a regional form. If that's so, I can't wait to see what the new Noble Probopass would look like.
Why specifically Deoxys? Deoxys don't really have much story. Also Nosepass is literally from Hoenn, it don't makes sense to have a regional form at all.
@@jeanduresau Cuz Deoxys is one of the most awesome pokemon in existence. And maybe we'll actually be able to finally go into space. But its obviously gonna be "Pokemon Legends Jirachi". (Who knows, maybe we'll be able to go in space regardless)
Lord of the Woods: KLEAVOR - An insane tree slicer Lady of the Ridge: LILLIGANT - A DDR master Lord of the Isles: ARCANINE - A forehead-horned lord Lord of the Hollow: ELECTRODE - A non-stoppin' exploding orb Lord of the Tundra: AVALUGG - A huge ice mountain that is alive
Not a huge theory, but I believe that the nobles are ancestor of totem pokemon, plus there is that one part in the phase 2 of fighting the nobles when it sounds like the totem fight sorta 😅
@@RandalfElVikingo considering the tapus and what they're based on, I don't blame the people of alola for having an untamed region Edit: I meant tapus not totems
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 I meant to put the tapus and not the totems but essentially iirc the tapus gods are based on the Hawaiian deities that defend nature and will wipe out humans if they mess with nature too much. The totems themselves have no base outside of just being alpha mons with special auras but they may have a connection to the tapus. We know in Arceus that there are alphas guarding sacred places so they must have a certain connection to the legendaries in a way.
I see a lot of discussion about which noble was the hardest, but can we talk about Arceus for a sec? That thing was definitely the hardest. Had like 10 attack patterns and did different patterns every time. Really annoying to beat but was pretty cool.
Last 3 nobles I all died to once. I remember just throwing balms and only when I got to low health, I actually paid attention but by then, it was too late. Out of the three, it's between electrode and avalugg on who is more difficult
I'd say Electrode, that thing killed me 4 times before I realized I was supposed to dodge more than I was. Avalugg, I just figured out the pattern and stunned him a lot.
01:25 instrument sound reminds me of the Ultra Beast theme. Plus, the whole resemblence to Ultra Necrozma when the Nobles are frenzied, lovin the callback to Alola
I’ve taken on three nobles & Arcanine was the toughest one so far. It got to the point where I just went “screw it” and ran through its pit of fire just to stop it from unleashing its ultimate attack
See, this is why i’m very thankful for discovering you can throw balms at Arcanine while he’s charging up to stun him, and then start a battle against him
@@dioolga4789 I knew I could throw balms to stun him. The problem is that when he's down to half health, he puts a literal fire wall in the middle of the battlefield before charging his super attack. You can't reach him from the edge of the wall, so you either have to run through it to stun him, or you have to be *hella* good at dodging his super.
Thing I love the most about this is you only hear bits of the original Sinnoh wild battle theme until you send out your own Pokemon and then the whole thing makes a triumphant return and I'm like "oh my god I'm back in 2007" it's AWESOME
I used to get tingles from this song when I did the boss fights, because I used to not like the music cause it meant that it was gonna be hard. And to this day, I still get tingles from it. Memories.

Has very Alola vibes. The whole frenzied noble mechanic reminded me a lot of Totem Pokémon.
Fun Fact: A Pokémon's data has a specific flag for whether it's an Alpha (not surprising, lots of one generation mechanics that affect the mon do this) but they also have a flag for being a Noble - none of what you catch ever has this flag so I suspect they programed the nobles the same way they did Totem mons, with the boss battle straight up being a new form. Haven't tried save editing to make smth a noble tho so might have to try that to see what happens when you send it out.

0:15 is the wild pokemon battle theme intro (it's faint but if you listen closely, you'll hear it)
0:17 is also a segment of the wild pokemon battle theme that loops. It's the part in the middle right before the original song loops again
0:22 the background step sequence is a subtle reference to the lake theme, specifically the intro steps of the theme, but pitched down by about a halfstep and continued downward past the original composition. It might be fair to call this a stretch but I feel as if it's supposed to be a reference to the lake theme
1:07 is the whole wild battle theme instead of the intro excerpt
1:48 The piano part is an excerpt of the intro to the Dialga/Palkia battle theme
1:55 is possibly a slight reference to the main melody in Arceus's battle theme, specifically the part where it's the part of the song that's played by a low brass section, but it's sped up to fit the flow of this high-energy song
2:00 is a definite reference to the intro timpani solo from Arceus's battle theme.
And outside of the Noble introduction themes, those are all of the motifs i could find in this rearrangement. Of course, the main motif is the wild pokemon battle theme, but there are some motifs in this song that I dont hear many talk about. Reply any motifs that I may have missed that you might hear in this song
I felt as if they did some hidden motiff to Temporal Tower/Time Gear from the PMD spinoffs but that may have been a stretch.
In Lord Avalugg’s segment, I hear Kyogre and Groudon’s theme pretty clearly.
@@StarryOak76 that's because the original Sinnoh Wild Pokemon theme already contained parts of that
@@MariOmor1 Oh, neat! I hadn’t heard that theme since I had hear Groudon and Kyogre’s themes, so I hadn’t made the connection
I mean, it's not a hidden motif, it's literally a remake of that song.
Me: Man, these bosses are fun and creative. I'm having so much fun.
Noble Electrode: *and I took that personally*
Avalugg was HUGE for a supposedly normal Pokémon. I think SwSh and Dynamax everywhere made us forget that normal Pokémon aren’t supposed to be that huge! Part of me half expected to see Galar Particles leave his body after calming him down. But it still begs the question, why in the world is he SO HUGE?! And what other Pokémon could theoretically amp up their permanent size that way? Could Dynamax somehow become a permanent effect through other means than we explored in SwSh? Or is it something else entirely?
Its just a big old avalugg
I believe it may have more to do with how as time went on Avalugg (as a population) used to be relatively large (like wailord), however unlike wailord they got small over time for some strange reason
I thought it was the aura from being frenzied building up and causing it to not only get far more aggresive, but far larger too.
@@countcooki7603 would explain the loss of the rock type, getting smaller caused them to need to get lighter, thus ejecting the rock out of their bodies trough evolution

This was epic music. This game in general has such amazing ost, with tracks like the Sinnoh Legendary Pokemon theme and the day/night themes being quite good.
Man, I wish wild Avaluggs (or at least alpha Avaluggs) were even half as big as noble Avalugg
Well in their defense, they're all melting away:
Avalugg: 6'07" (2.0 m) and 1113.3 lbs. (505.0 kg)
Hisuian forme: 4'07" (1.4m) and 578.5 lbs. (262.4 kg)
@@russellw6872 But if we’re following the canon timeline, the Hisuian population did all die out at some point, but as a new population got reestablished in Kalos, it must have dropped the Rock typing in favour of becoming pure Ice.
@@williamsapong81 Always possible that regular Avalugg still existed is Kalos at this time, and that it was only in Huisui did they change forme/died out/whatever happened. We only really know what's happening in Huisui/Sinnoh, not anywhere else for this time period.
@@russellw6872 Yeah, though I personally think that Wulfric's Avalugg is a descendant of Noble Avalugg. Mostly because Wulfric looks and acts too much like Gaeric not to be related to him.
0:14 that timing was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
It's Like this in the original too thats why
0:01 Kleavor's Tree Trembling Entrance
3:18 Lilligant's Elegant Entrance
5:09 Arcanine's Hellish Hisuian Entrance
6:42 Electrode's Explosive Entrance
8:34 Avalugg's Icy Hisuian Entrance
I think difficulty of the nobles change depending on your playstyle. For the balm spammers, electrode would be the worst nightmare since it does not give you time to aim and throw.
For me, who would keep dodging and throw balms after the pokemon battle, finished electrode in 1st try, But took many tries in arcanine battle. That fire spin on the middle is such an ass.
Avalugg was difficult too, since the icicle spam was faster than the recovery of tumbling. And hint only tells how to dodge ice beam and nothing about icicles, it was frustrating on my part.
Yeah electrode was definitely hardest for me, it took me two tries. The rest only took one and avalugg was easier than arcanine and electrode personally
Electrode ONLY took me two tries because I didn’t restart when I died, which I still feel guilty about tbh. It feels like cheating. :/
But yeah! I agree, and it’s honestly really cool.
Electrode is actually really easy if you just tank the homing orbs and only avoid the Electrodes while spamming attacks.
Electrode was a nightmare when having to deal with JoyCon drift, but they got much easier once I got a new one.
Icicle spam just don’t dodge lol walk
Is it just me but Arcanine and Avalugg we're the hardest fights out of all of them? Arcanine shoots a weird fire ring that doesn't go away until a period of time and if your trapped, it's hard to dodge out his way. Avalugg was a bit less hard but it was still challenging to throw balms while dodging his ice balls and spears.
Have you seen Electrode?
@@GojiRaptor06 oh yeah I forgot about him tbh. Electrode was the in-between of Arcanine and Avalugg to me.
For me, the most difficult was electrode, the other ones are easy.
Arcanine is very easy if you camp at one end and just dodge correctly every 20 seconds or so
@@dappershinx9234 the thing is, when he place the fire in the middle, and uses the orb move that covers the entire stage and *he's on the opposite platform* shit just ends right then and there
What makes this music so amazing to me is how the entire time you're throwing balms the melody is rising and rising, building up to something then when you actually enter battle the melody settles into the remix of the main battle theme. So satisfying to my years
These fights were the most epic fights that Gamefreak has ever produced. From the intro all the way to the end of the fight, I felt like I was in mortal danger. THIS is how you craft a boss battle.
The arcanine noble fight was awesome. the music, his badasss look while walking in the lava is freaking amazing
I really love those little instrumentals for each Nobles right before the battle theme starts
Therapist: County sized Avalugg isn’t real, he can’t hurt you...
County sized Avalugg:
I know they all use the same theme but it feels different in each fight!
That transition moment I feel is what sells the whole experience. Having it happen as you hit the Noble to initiate the battle, especially when it happens with Lord Avalugg, it gives me goosebumps on goosebumps.
Liligant:
Dramatic dance entrance -
INTENSE MUSIC
so beautiful :,)
I’m excited to use it in scarlet and Violet
Thank you! Been waiting for you to sneak in this and the wild battle theme!
Wild will be posted later ;)
I'm finding a shiny Zorua before!
@@Pokeli wish you luck! And I appreciate what you do!!!
Gen 5 needs a legends game I wanna know how Gensect was created
I mean, if they make an Legends Unova, I hope they show how the original dragon looked lol
Genesect was created by Team Plasma
@@enigmaticshadow6934 but HOW and WHY
@@seanakima50515e they restored it. As genesect was a fossil pokemon that they then upgraded with a new armored body and the cannon on its back that could be outfitted with the drives to change its typing. it was to assist N once he took over team plasma in taking over the world but N denied Genesect when they presented it to him as he said it was unnatural and had no need for it anyways. its all in its bw2 event. so if a legends game for gen 5 happened we wouldnt see genesect but maybe its orignal un augmented form instead.
@@multilink1748 Wasn’t it a Kabutops before? I remember seeing that theory flying around
Of all of these, I died to Electrode and Avalugg the most
Electrode will just spam bombs and make it difficult to dodge, when it’s finally defeated it feels satisfying after a tough fight
Avalugg on the other hand…
*IT TOOK ME ALMOST THE SAME AMOUNT OF TRIES AS ELECTRODE TO BEAT BEING 11 TRIES*
Why do people struggle with Avalugg? Most of its attacks are so slow and clearly telegraphed, while the one that isn't is fine if you keep sidestepping it. I actually found this one the easiest.
I love how the part where you beat the absolute shit out of them has the main melody of the D/P/Pt battle theme being played on a synth, it feels like the game is trying to tell you that it's just like you used to in your past in the future, and then the Palkia/Dialga piano also gives the idea that you've dealt with worse and are also blessed by Arceus. Love that shit
This slaps so nicely coddamn !!
Also loving the reference to the vs Palkia/Dialga theme that you can hear throughout it 👏👀💥
We need the Professor’s theme my guy, he’s based potato mochi beanie character that has stolen everyone’s heart.
Awesome work as always Pokeli.
He unfortunately only uploads the battle theme's, if you want the professors theme you should look for a different channel

@@juanproductionsd680 I think it got deleted unfortunately
The Electrode fight is going to filter a lot of kids 😂
I mean, if they didn't take Melli's advice to keep moving then I'm surprised they actually got to this point.
That includes me, I don't know how i managed to beat Electrode in handheld mode with Joycon drift in a sushi restaurant, but I did it.
As a kid I struggled with both electrode and avalugg stupendously
Diablos’ charges
Rajang’s slams
Teostra’s running around and danger areas
Bazelgeuse’s bombing
Ukanlos’s ice attacks
As a Monster Hunter fan, I enjoyed these fights far more than I’d have expected
YES MAN!
In all honesty, Legends Arceus gives me such heavy Monster Hunter Story vibes. I love it.
So proud of my favorite ice type Avalugg, finally made it to the big leagues
It quite literally made it to the big leagues
Shame about his typing
Definitely the best-done of the "fight one big pokemon" boss types in the series.
I like the little uses of the Arceus fight theme motif hidden in there
Entrances of every noble Pokemon
Kleavor: cutting ma trees
Liligant: stand name: dancer
Arcanine: lava? Pfft more like a pool
Electrode: random babies, go!
Avalugg: it's a mountain, and a Pokemon!
Kleavor is more like HELIKOPTER HELIKOPTER in the introduction
The Noble Avalugg in the fight was just scary beyond, its literally a giant mountain! Freaking awesome
Spirit Battle Idea:
Kleavor: Villager (Yellow Alt) Prefers Smash attacks
Lilligant: Zero Suit Samus (Green Alt) Jumps around alot
Arcanine: Duck Hunt (Default) Impact Run with Spicy Curry
Electrode: Kirby (Yellow or Red Alt) Starts with Bomber and Keeps Raining from the Ground
Avalugg: K Rool (Blue Alt) Prefers Specials and Starts with Freezie
All Spirit Battles will have them be Giant and Start Gold
One of my favourite themes in arceus
I like that they incorporate the legendary theme into the song.
it took me way too long to realize the Noble Pokemon's encounter themes each have a portion of the wild Pokemon theme in it. and i love that detail so much
Jesus Hisuian Arcanine looks so badass when he's frenzied/noble, wish that was just how he normally looked.
His shiny looks slightly similar to it, being yellow and gray
Who else thinks Electrode is waaaaaay harder than Origin Dialga/Palkia?
Preach,Dear God,That fight is hard. Origin Dialga and Palkia are super easy, since the attacks are easily telegraphed and they stay in One Spot,making it way too easy to hit them with balms
I struggled on it and avvalug way more then them.
Is that even a question?
Hell, Kleavor is harder than the origin mons
😢
This game turned avalugg from a laughingstock to one of the coolest Pokemon. Will definitely be using one on my next playthrough of Legends!
You see, I didn't know you could literally not fall in the lava on arcanine's fight, so I was trying to dodge both him and the lava lmao
The entire song is a leitmotif. I love this so much.
There's a hint of Arceus at the end of the tracks which I find very intriguing.
I love Part 1 of the Noble boss battle theme. It practically screams, "Stay alert and stay on the move if you don't wish to perish!"
Honestly these bosses were really cool, only one I didn’t care dire much was Kleavor. Was kind of boring, though maybe I should try it out again.
I liked Liligant, when you successfully dodged her attacks it was really rewarding.
Arcanine was pretty good, the opening scene was definitely one of my favourites, and I loved the mechanic of it being able to walk through the lava.
Voltorb was a BITC-
Seriously, it was really challenging, and it was a decent fight but God the electro-balls were SUCH a pain in the a-
Anyways, Avaluggs was amazing. Seeing it for the first time was CRAZY. I knew it’d be big but I thought all the dialogue referring to that was just a “yeah its descendants were huge”. It was a really cool surprise. (Pun intended) I kind of wish we weren’t stuck on one small piece of land tho
Also, I loved the fact that there genuinely felt like there were different ways you could handle the bosses. I usually tried to hit them every little chance I got, (which definitely had its pay off), but I usually ended up with some pretty close calls for wins. My little sister instead focused on dodging and then she threw balms when she beat them in battle.
Anyways I just think these bosses are neat
The fight with Avalugg was probably the most hype moment I have ever had in a Pokemon game.
At first I thought I was already ON TOP of it.
This theme gives me mystery dungeon vibes, especially the little bit at the beginning. I can't place my finger where I've heard it, but it does give me those vibes
Honestly, I really dig how crazy the new Noble's Pokémon look. Who knows, maybe one day a "Pokémon, Legend Deoxys" will be a thing, and Nosepass will get a regional form. If that's so, I can't wait to see what the new Noble Probopass would look like.
Why specifically Deoxys? Deoxys don't really have much story. Also Nosepass is literally from Hoenn, it don't makes sense to have a regional form at all.
@@jeanduresau Cuz Deoxys is one of the most awesome pokemon in existence. And maybe we'll actually be able to finally go into space. But its obviously gonna be "Pokemon Legends Jirachi". (Who knows, maybe we'll be able to go in space regardless)
Words could not describe my bewilderment when I first saw Hisuian Lilligant for the first time
Lord of the Woods: KLEAVOR - An insane tree slicer
Lady of the Ridge: LILLIGANT - A DDR master
Lord of the Isles: ARCANINE - A forehead-horned lord
Lord of the Hollow: ELECTRODE - A non-stoppin' exploding orb
Lord of the Tundra: AVALUGG - A huge ice mountain that is alive
This was honestly unique for a Pokémon game.
The bit with the little dialga/palkia theme followed by Arceus drums is really cool
Did Legends show me that Pokemon wont hesitate to kill you? Yes
Do I still want them irl? ...yes
This theme sounds so BRUTAL. I love it.
Not a huge theory, but I believe that the nobles are ancestor of totem pokemon, plus there is that one part in the phase 2 of fighting the nobles when it sounds like the totem fight sorta 😅
Alola is basically an untamed region compared to other places. That's why there are dominant Pokémon like the Totem.
@@RandalfElVikingo considering the tapus and what they're based on, I don't blame the people of alola for having an untamed region
Edit: I meant tapus not totems
@@lavadragon6444 what are they based on?
not too familiar with hawaiian folklore
@@rokkraljkolesa9317 I meant to put the tapus and not the totems but essentially iirc the tapus gods are based on the Hawaiian deities that defend nature and will wipe out humans if they mess with nature too much. The totems themselves have no base outside of just being alpha mons with special auras but they may have a connection to the tapus. We know in Arceus that there are alphas guarding sacred places so they must have a certain connection to the legendaries in a way.
@@lavadragon6444 ah, thought there was some basis in folklore for the totems
Hisuian Totem Pokémon doesn't exist. It can't hurt you.
Hisuian Totem Pokémon:
Electrode just wanted to see the world burn.
Finally! I was waiting for someone to upload all these themes into one! Great job!
I see a lot of discussion about which noble was the hardest, but can we talk about Arceus for a sec? That thing was definitely the hardest.
Had like 10 attack patterns and did different patterns every time. Really annoying to beat but was pretty cool.
I just love how the actual battle music is a fast remix of the regular diamond pearl and platinum music!
Arcanine's got official artwork now?!? I love it.
I never actually listened to it long enough to notice the other four main legendaries’ motifs at the end.
0:00 Kleavor

I still get chills when Lilligant's theme plays
Love how the most menacing one was Arcanine and every single one is a beat.
I love the battle music, when you send your Pokémon in, it’s just so good
I love how noble Avalugg is so big it's like a dynamax Pokemon.
Last 3 nobles I all died to once. I remember just throwing balms and only when I got to low health, I actually paid attention but by then, it was too late. Out of the three, it's between electrode and avalugg on who is more difficult
I'd say Electrode, that thing killed me 4 times before I realized I was supposed to dodge more than I was. Avalugg, I just figured out the pattern and stunned him a lot.
How did you find the Sugimori Artwork for Lilligant, Arcanine, Electrode and Avalugg?
I was gonna ask the same thing

01:25 instrument sound reminds me of the Ultra Beast theme. Plus, the whole resemblence to Ultra Necrozma when the Nobles are frenzied, lovin the callback to Alola

He is one hell of a fight. Hope you're a true master at dodging. Good luck
@@Nekiplex got him like 8 hours ago
@@handlebarevildimension congrats :))
I still haven’t got arceus. Battle is too hard. I gave up and when I play now, I’m focusing on the shiny charm
The riff at the beginning of each battle is so Pokémon I love it
I’ve taken on three nobles & Arcanine was the toughest one so far. It got to the point where I just went “screw it” and ran through its pit of fire just to stop it from unleashing its ultimate attack
See, this is why i’m very thankful for discovering you can throw balms at Arcanine while he’s charging up to stun him, and then start a battle against him
@@dioolga4789 I knew I could throw balms to stun him. The problem is that when he's down to half health, he puts a literal fire wall in the middle of the battlefield before charging his super attack. You can't reach him from the edge of the wall, so you either have to run through it to stun him, or you have to be *hella* good at dodging his super.
Thing I love the most about this is you only hear bits of the original Sinnoh wild battle theme until you send out your own Pokemon and then the whole thing makes a triumphant return and I'm like "oh my god I'm back in 2007" it's AWESOME
Crazy how electrode a wooden ball filled with electricity was the toughest out of all the noble Pokemon
POV: you are zinnia and are politely asking for Rayquaza to bond with you
Honestly I have never thought an iceberg tortoise was even more difficult than an explosive ball of wood
I’m glad I can listen to the music here. I’m usually playing in a place I can’t have music on or bad ears in general.
This just my opinion, but Arcanine’s intro is the best one
The intro for lilligant’s fight was just, SO DARN CUTE, I LOVE IT. I will protect her at all costs for being so skilled at dancing
As soon as I saw Kleavor in the teaser I fell in love with it. :D
Same
I used to get tingles from this song when I did the boss fights, because I used to not like the music cause it meant that it was gonna be hard. And to this day, I still get tingles from it. Memories.
