Top 10 Pokemon that RUINED Our Childhoods

Pokemon stadium using only rentals wrecked me as a kid and still to this day gives me a hard time. That RNG is no joke.

So I agree that Cynthia's Garchomp was an absolute menace, but it was kind of expected to be, as it was her ace and all. Her lead Spiritomb was what really what got me and my friends fuming as kids. In gen 4, Its Dark/Ghost typing had no weaknesses, and strategizing as an 8 y/o was practically non-existent. So to this day, 15 years later, Spiritomb is still Cynthia's most infamous Pokémon to my friends and I. My friend absolutely hates it because of the trouble it caused him as a kid, and I absolutely love it for the same reason lol

May's Grovyle is up there for Mudkip players in RSE, especially considering Mudkip steamrolls everything else in the game

For Sabrina's Alakazam, a Snorlax is always good counter, its has high HP, access to amnesia to counter Psychic and headbutt for Alakazam's low defense stat

as someone that always went for Torchic in Gen 3. Winona's Altaria was always the biggest nightmare for me.

Lenora was a nightmare! My pignite got swept around 5 times cuz of that retaliate..it took me around 5 rematches to beat this gym in my childhood! People complain about miltank..but MY GOD watchog is right up there WITH it for me 😂

Ultra Necrozma was even more difficult for me, because I had no idea it was even a thing going into the game, and decided to do a run with only poison type pokemon. It took a LONG time, and I had to use a ton of revives, but I eventually beat it.

During my first playthrough of Diamond when I was 14, I had Ice Beam on my Empoleon (who somehow had a perfect defense IV now that I am looking at it), and tanked an EQ from Cynthia's Garchomp (I had one on my team so I knew how to counter it), and obliterated Cynthia's Garchomp with an Ice Beam.

Mystic if you read this, do a how to improve every Fully evolved Pokemon. Could be anything from changing abilities, amending or adding stats, evolving them or adding types or moves to their move pool. That would be a great series.

Yeah that Miltank caught me out when I was younger and didn't know as much about how to beat all the different kinds of pokemon...Getting stomped on was NOT fun

Because of my experience with Gen 4, I didn’t have that big of an issue with Garchomp, so I was fully expecting Juniper’s Skuntank- aka the Nuzlocke Killer

The lack of fantina's mismagius when I lost to that thing even when I knew it was coming is unfortunate

I don't know why so many players struggled with Ultra Necrozma... I went in and beat it 1st try, only lost 2 mons as well.

You could also use a fast electric type to paralyze it with Thunder Wave, and that will shut down its speed.

My problem when I first faced Cynthia, was that at the time, I was using Ash's team as it currently was... and she molly whomped me back into my Red and Blue days... Try beating her in Pearl with a Pikachu, Turtwig, Chimchar, Staravia, Buizel and Gligar... my God that painful lol

For Red I always struggled against Snorlax, thing was just so damn bulky. The first time i took it down as a kid in silver i literally screamed.

This video was very well done. Just one tiny thing to mention: The 'it's 29 in Emerald' edit also appeared under the gen 1 games image. I didn't get what that was about until we got to Torkoal.

Oh god Lenora and her Watchog...the trauma is back

I think that Cynthia is the number 1 boss battle to ruin people’s childhoods.

That Miltank is the reason I started leveling up my team by 7 after each gym.
