gym leader whitney, on milktank. She used super potions, while she used attract, while using milk drink.

I fucking hate whitney and miltank.

[–]Jeffrey7s[S] 14 points15 points ago

I hated her back when GSC came out, I destroyed her with my most recent team though.

[–]RuralNinja 5 points6 points ago

Her Rollout always destroyed the two pokemon I've ALWAYS used, Pidgey and Cyndaquil.

[–]TaylorWolf 6 points7 points ago

I still wanna know how it never missed...

[–]RuralNinja 4 points5 points ago

Two words. Bad luck.

[–]TaylorWolf 0 points1 point ago

han solo?

[–]bitch_im_a_lion 1 point2 points ago

Even after spamming sand attack it hit nearly every time. I hated her so damn much. Eventually decided to just grind my pokemon to way over her miltank's level to deal with the issue.

[–]Icalasari 0 points1 point ago

I found Dig and taught it to Quilava for the SOLE purpose of fucking up her Rollout

[–]filmguy100 0 points1 point ago

If you haven't evolved your pokemon before whitney, you're gunna have a bad time...

[–]Hunted06 7 points8 points ago

Or Chanseys with that damn softboiled.

[–]Captain_Kuhl 6 points7 points ago

When my opponent uses a full restore.

FTFY

[–]Wild_Bulbasaur 4 points5 points ago

As well as Snorlax back in RBY with Rest.

In Pokemon Emerald I mastered the art of softening up the Elite Four's Pokemon with a weak move before I knocked it out with a super effective move. They never got the chance to use a full restore.

[–]NagisaK 11 points12 points ago

To be honest, Emerald Elite Four are pussies.

[–]isetmyfriendsonfire 2 points3 points ago

Beat it solo with a level 64 Slowbro, was no problem.

[–]NagisaK 0 points1 point ago

My point exactly, highest level for them was like 60.

[–]isetmyfriendsonfire 6 points7 points ago

gen 3 was such a tease, after you beat the elite four, all you look forwards to is that stupid battle dome. after playing gen 2 I got to go back and fight 8 more gyms and get an even harder elite four.

[–]NagisaK 0 points1 point ago

Well yes I do like the idea of having both regions in one game but IMO I think the Battle Frontier was way more challenging than those Kanto gym leaders

[–]yrrp 0 points1 point ago

I always thought Phoebe was difficult because her pokemon had very diverse movepools.

[–]NagisaK 1 point2 points ago

Yes but compare to FireRed/LeafGreen, Elite four are pretty soft.

[–]yrrp 0 points1 point ago

Personally, I have had more trouble with her than any other E4 member.

[–]NagisaK 0 points1 point ago

Really? Just because she is a ghost type user?

[–]yrrp 0 points1 point ago

Yes. Sapphire was my first game. I didn't have a ghost or dark type on my team. Her pokemon knew thunderbolt, ice beam, willo-wisp, curse, etc.

[–]NagisaK -1 points0 points ago

Well you should have trained your team into 70s or just got a dark type.

[–]yrrp 0 points1 point ago

That would have made the entire E4 extremely easy. I never said she was impossible to beat. But it took a young yrrp more strategy and thinking to beat her than any other gym leader in Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto.

[–]TheAdoringFan 1 point2 points ago

Fucking Juan. Just let your Kingdra faint already man.

[–]Cortelmo 5 points6 points ago

Probably not appropriate for this subreddit but I will link it anyway so you guys can waste a weekend laughing your asses off. If you click there is no turning back.

[–]JordanRynes 4 points5 points ago

I was going to mention that website, but it's now ruined for me since the US series was taken down.

[–]hahahahahaha_ 2 points3 points ago

The thing that pissed me off the most is that you could almost always call when it would be used, esp. with the Elite Four. I would use moves I was almost completely sure would be a one hit KO with my grinded Pokemon, and go down to just barely alive. "Oh, my Pokemon is 10 HP away from fainting? Better use it RIGHT NOW" oh and repeat times 3 because for some reason they have to use the things consecutively before they run out.

[–]Nathan561 2 points3 points ago

Try full restore what sucks is when they use it, they attack in the next turn instead of them missing a turn. You can do this if your pokemon has more speed

[–]wiiuwiiuwiiuwiiu 6 points7 points ago

umm you know we have revives so how do you think they feel

[–]Jeffrey7s[S] 31 points32 points ago

I'd imagine they feel nothing because they're not human.

[–]_Indeed 3 points4 points ago

I shouldn't laugh as hard as I did at this. Thank you.

[–]cavestoryawesomeness 1 point2 points ago

They can only use four potions of any tupe, but it pisses me off too.

[–]treetripping 1 point2 points ago

Oh, there was so much profanity used when I was replaying Emerald. I think I called the champion about a million names each Full Restore :/

[–]Mileskitsune 1 point2 points ago

don't you use potions?

[–]SkorpionKlobb 0 points1 point ago

Embargo and taunt. Two of my favorite moves.
