My Darkrai and Kingambit had a fun time. Obviously as champion I'm obliged to use the occasional potion, but compared to some of the E4, I found Kingambit especially had very little trouble. When Kieran sent in the Incineroar for instance, I couldnt help but laugh, DEFIANT all the way.

@nishant9289 8 ай бұрын

@@baronsionis6855 I mean, you also get a Milotic from Crystal Pond, one of Incineroar's most common check (thanks to competitive) so you can just set up agility and sweep through most of Kieran's team, especially because he doesn't fare too good against water types. It's not about still being able to run counters through the AI teams, I posted this comment to praise about how GF went through all the way to establish that Kieran actually ‘studied’ and ‘practiced’ for the rematch. I also really appreciate the Porygon-Z which benefits further from screens of Grimmsnarl and Helping Hand of Politoed but I think Smeargle would be a fantastic addition too.

@tmc31390 8 ай бұрын

Honestly, had it not been for Terapagos turning on him, Kieran probably would’ve gone full villain. Carmine, Amarys, and Drayton had hoped us beating him would snap Kieran back to his sense, but once they saw how despondent Kieran was after we beat him, it looks like they even underestimated how far Kieran had gone.

[1:17] Kieran's reaction to seeing Ogerpon was PRICELESS! "You've got some nerve... bringing out the ogre NOW of all times?!?"

@jbsaber9502 8 ай бұрын

Kieran’s fights bring out such a unique set of emotions. The first few times I battled him, I didn’t feel much, maybe a bit confident? Bc of how much he admires the player. When we fought for who got to keep Ogerpon, I felt almost guilty(?) on the one hand, you know you’re meant to win, but on the other, it’s bittersweet, bc it’s easy to empathize with Kieran’s desire to be with Ogerpon. And in his Champion battle, after seeing him push himself to be stronger out of jealousy and to beat the player, it gave the feeling of, “I wish we could settle this another way, but if you ask for it, I’m not gonna hold back” Such a uniquely written character. Gotta love complexity in Pokemon

No way man. Kieran is the villain of the Indigo Disc. He's a dick to his friends, he's a dick to other club members, he's a dick to his sister, and he tried to force a Pokémon to go with him instead of who the Pokémon had an interest in (the same way a child would steal a puppy bc they "wanted it more" than someone else). Not achieving your dream isn't a justification either. Kid needed to be taken down a few pegs.

Personally, both the elite 4 and Kieran were very tough but decently beatable. The only one I lost against was Drayton but only because of very bad RNG.

Truly amazing if you ask me. Lol!

I decided that, no matter how bad things were, I was not going to heal nor revive any Pokémon in my team. If my son wanted to bring everything he has into me, I would respond the same way. It was a hard battle. I was left with two and a half Pokémon, but no matter, it was great. 💪🏻

From my experience with this battle: My Level 87 Tera Water - Primarina dominated this battle. Only my Meowscarada managed to KO Kieran's Politoed with Flower Trick before he got KO'd by Dragonite's Hurricane and Extremespeed. Thanks to my Ogrepon's Helping Hand, my Primarina was able to defeat both his Dragonite and Porygon-Z using Hyper Voice (my Primarina had Liquid Voice ability), but unfortunately, Ogerpon was also KO'd by Dragonite's Hurricane. My Kleavor used Brick Break on his Grimmsnarl in case of Reflect or Light Screen and also to prevent using his Focus Sash, and my Primarina again used Hyper Voice to KO both Grimmsnarl and Incineroar. And lastly, my Kleavor and Primarina defeated his Terastalized Fighting - Hydrapple using my Kleavor's Aerial Ace and Primarina's Moonblast. My Team: Meowscarada Lv90 (Focus Sash) - Flower Trick, Knock Off, Triple Axel, U-turn Primarina Lv87 (Leftovers)- Hyper Voice, Moonblast, Calm Mind, Protect Archaludon Lv88 (Assault Vest) - Flash Cannon, Electro Shot, Body Press, Snarl Kleavor Lv88 (Expert Belt) - Stone Axe, X-Scissor, Aerial Ace, Brick Break Glimmora Lv87 (Life Orb) - Power Gem, Sludge Wave, Earth Power, Dazzling Gleam Ogerpon Lv86 (Hearthflame Mask)- Ivy Cudgel, Horn Leech, Helping Hand, Spiky Shield

I was extremely impressed with how great his team's synergy was and this battle gave me a new look on how I can build my own Competitive team too. This is just speculation on my end but Drayton's "Ex-Champion" line felt personal like after Kieran beat Drayton from the Champion spot, he said those exact words. I think Drayton is genuine about wanting Kieran to return to his former self but I don't like his methods least of all using the Main Character as his tool to do so. Let me know though if anyone else has a different perspective on this.
