Pretty sure we all fought Cynthia like that as kids. Just spamming Revives because we had no clue how to deal with her Pokemon. And her line of "What's Garchomp?" made me realize something. Something that adds to the true *terror* of Cynthia. On a first Sinnoh Playthrough, you'll absolutely see Roserade, Gastrodon, and Lucario - they're carried by prominent Gym Leaders. In Platinum, she doesn't even have Gastrodon. The player will most likely not have gone out of their way to get a Garchomp, Togekiss, Milotic, or Spiritomb, and no AI trainer you can fight up to this point (that I know of) has one. This means that half of her team comes as a complete surprise, and, especially in the older games, it can be hard to identify their weaknesses at a glance.

I just love how Sana and Calli beat her with a single pokémon, and then there's Kiara.

I may not be a great Pokemon player, but I'm pretty sure chess players felt worse. At least in the end, even if it was scuffed, this strategy worked. In the case of chess, imagine that both Kiara and Cynthia spent ~30-120 seconds planning each move, only to (somehow) force their pokemon to hurt themselves in confusion each time, and the winner just ended up being whoever happened not to kill themselves first. And during the whole time they are saying things like, "Fire is super effective against rock-type pokemon, so I'm going to use Alakazam against Steelix. Wait what is this 'PP' thing? When did they add this to the game? I'm not used to these zoomer mechanics." That would be more similar to what the chess match is like... Maybe that sounds a bit harsh; I think it's great that players of any level can play and enjoy chess, and the match has its own charm, but at the same time... I still feel that my analogy is quite accurate to the viewing experience.

3:53 - I watched it live. That was quite literally my reaction to Kiara using a full restore on a fainted pokemon.

obviously the phoenix strat will work just throw your self at the enemy until he dies since you can revive anyway true to her nature till the end

@@Telogor i think her platinum team is better actually, gastrodon is too redundant, but by pokemon campaign standards her team can pose a challenge to most players.

@@Telogor Her team isn’t Wolfey level of competitive. Her team lacking is speed control, like severely. But you can actually use her team and be actually successful in low-mid tier competitive battle. I actually do quite well with her team on showdown with minor tweak like stinky webs for a bit of speed control.

She's playing on set! I love Kiara more now

Never depended on power of friendship on video games but this... this changed my mind

u gotta use what u got. I would have quit and grind some, but I would not have the gotten the first try. Aced it despite the odds!

Even though it was a chaotic fight, I loved how entertaining it was. Thanks for making this extended clip of that fight.

The perfect strategy for a Phoenix!

6:17:00 in the archive incase anyone interested

I see she used the Phoenix strat to win there. 😂

lmfao i did a facepalm when she used full restore on a healthy pokemon trying to revive the Roserade, and immediately the editor got me

I love your Holo Pokemon clips. Thank you so much.

The game let's you use a full restore on a fainted pokemon and it skips your turn? WTF!?

"As we all know, Garchomps have a pre-set kill-limit. I sent wave after wave of my own pokemon at the garchomp until it hit its kill-limit and shut down."

Twitch plays pokemon part got me laughing so much!

As a well animated champion of Johto once said "You cant be the champion without knowing how to spam full restores!"

She really is a phoenix because her specialty is reviving.

To be honest she wasn't doing that bad... Until that monster got into the battle lol And I've never fought Cynthia myself so I didn't know strong she actually was... And man she is so f*cking scary

So... To put it into perspective, Cynthia as an NPC with her team as is would be able to hold her own in the competitive scene of Pokémon games, aka her team is minmaxed for what each Pokémon's particular niche is, with the only faults being that Cynthia herself is an NPC and that levels aren't locked to 50 or 100

Cynthia is an absolute monster. So many trainers, new and old, have been traumatized by her team.

She's been a recurring nightmare in the pokemon series, on the gen following diamond and pearl you randomly find her on a house and she battles you with her infamous garchomp and a pretty good team of other pokemon, she also participated on the world championship and she was... Tough.

Stun Spore was the obvious solution to Garchomp, I dunno what chat is smoking. Paralysis cuts speed in half, then Empoleon can come in and get the easy Ice Beam kill. Just keep reviving Roserade until she successfully paralyzes. It's a much better answer than "PP Stall for 15 minutes."

Garchomp outspeed Roserade and KO in 1 hit. So it would not have been able to Paralyze. Empoleon Ice Beam is also not sure to kill in 1 hit at that point, Garchomp has a Yache Berry which reduce from x4 effective to x2 effective for the first hit, without Crit that's ~50% of HP only. A better use would have been to Earthquake bait with sending anyone and switching to Staraptor, that also PP Stall but saves more Revive and gets Intimidate more often, which forces it to Swords Dance and take an hit. There's also a lot of Chat that thought her Pokemon had different Abilities, her Luxray doesn't have Intimidate, her Rapidash doesn't have Flame Body and her Roserade doesn't have Poison Point. All those would have made it easier

@@TheMyuken Roserade could have used Stun Spore when she survived on affection, something that did happen at least once in the fight anyway. Once paralysed, all of her Pokémon would outspeed Garchomp, so even if Ice Beam failed to kill, the fight would still be much easier. I’m not even saying Stun Spore would definitely work, but even if it didn’t, she’d still have been PP stalling while attempting it. She’d be doing the same thing, but with a decent chance at a quicker victory. It’s just a better option than throwing out a stray Dazzling Gleam that barely hurts it. A second Intimidate would have been helpful, but Poison Point is pretty garbage. Flame Body would have been huge IF you could get it to activate, but that’s a big if, because Earthquake is not a contact move, so you’d have to bait it into using Dragon Claw by hard switching, and then it’s still only 30%. Poison Point is in the same difficult situation, but with even less payoff. Also, a single Swords Dance negates the attack drop from burn, so I’d still say Paralysis is the better option, since it has no way to recover the lost speed. And that’s before even considering the 25% chance it is unable to move, which is just icing in the cake.

Honesty while the execution was questionable, the only way she won with that team was to stall out earthquakes

Honestly her team was a big problem in this battle. 5/6 mons that would get oneshoted by earthquake, all of them slower and Luxray with no intimidate. Her only possible strat to beat garchomp without the revive fiesta was to intimidate dance with Staraptor avoiding the earthquakes directed to her other mons untill she wasted all her PP, but she didn't realize and chat just kept telling her to sacrifice everyone. It was pretty fun watching a potential garchomp sweep tho.

Well she said it herself best, she was playing for fun before all. There's no way she would've given up her Luxray for one with Intimidate, especially without knowing about it or even what it does beforehand. She also hardly knew anything about what her team was resistant to without chat's help. As for baiting the EQs onto her Staraptor, you're right of course, but you have to realize that she had no idea what to do and chat was zooming with all types of answers. The simplest way to make her understand mid-fight how to PP stall the EQs was to tell her to keep sending her team to the slaughterhouse. She only realized halfway through that her Staraptor was immune to them, but by then the strategy was already paying off, so there was no point in telling her how to optimize it. Overall, I know it can be frustrating to watch (I used to play competitive myself), but I don't think it's a good mindset to expect a casual player to make min-maxed plays. In the end, it made for an intense battle that she fought her way through, thanks to a joint effort with her chat, that she will likely remember for a long time, and I think it's all that matters. That being said, you might enjoy Sana's and Calli's playthroughs more, if you haven't checked them out already.

@@BlaZay My comment wasnt a complain, what I wanted to point out is that the garchomp fight was already super hard without taking into account her skill level solely by considering the tools she had avaliable without judging anything else, and that there was only one possible strat aside entering the slaughterhouse to win, as I said, I had fun watching an almost wipe. I watched Sana and Callie's league, they are of course more experienced but their strategy for the league was basically overleveling to oblivion which honestly was pretty boring to me, Kiara and Ina were way more enjoyable to watch because there was a potential for failing. Calli still needed some thinking, at least before Cynthia, but Sana was just a oneshot fiesta with no emotion.

truly a pheonix

Brilliant edit thanks for uploading this was a lot of fun watching this live

That was a wild battle. It was truly fitting for a phoenix! Thanks for showcasing this, Kowkarot! Beautiful editing, as always 👌

You must have so must fun, watching Kiara guide her Pokemon through life and dead.

God-Tier editing. Really good video

The close up of Cynthia after Kiara's rambling killed me LMAO 9:40

It's pretty thematic that the Phoenix won by dying and reviving constantly, to be quite honest.
