    • I actually remember playing against a battle disk from XD that was supposed to prepare you for this guy. Think rental teams combined with those chess games where you have x moves to get to checkmate. The only way to win was to realize one of the rental Pokémon had Damp as an ability, which would neutralize explosion, letting you win with another Pokémon.

  • Virgin Mysterial vs Chad Codel: M: Spams broken box-art legendaries to kingdom come, and literally breaks the rules by having a mythical on his team C: Uses terrible pokemon in a genius way by cleverly taking advantage of insane gen 3 mechanics. M: Abuses rain, one of the most common and broken strategies in the game (and doesn't really do it well in all honestly. No swift swim and only 2 water STABs is wasted potential). C: Implements a never-before-seen strategy, having 5 mons armed with the funny move. M: Does very little interesting with movesets (20 out of his 24 moves are attacks, and 3 of them are on 1 pokemon. The only really interesting thing there is ancient power for Shedinja, I'll give him that) C: Uses imprison and protect to perfectly play around explosion's greatest weakness, countering all of steel, ghost and protect with one pokemon. M: Barely has any team synergy (other than setup Manaphy, who shouldn't even be there). C: Literally could not function without every pokemon doing their part to contribute to the funniest and most brutal sweep imaginable. Understand that I don't mean to anger any Mysterial fans here, I simply pay homage to the Ultra Gigachad Codel.

  • Genius Sonority loves the Imprison Dusclops shenanigans. They used it again in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the sixth round of Orre Colosseum (one of the best battle facilities ever) with the Sailor Jebol, that uses a Quick Claw Dusclops with Ice Beam, Ice Punch, Imprison and Protect, nullyfing the main issue of the rest of the team (Aerodactyl, Zapdos, Dragonite, Flygon and Salamence).

  • When Cynthia appeared on screen, I rolled my eyes and groaned; she's strong but she's not THAT strong (we were 10 when we played DPP for the 1st time, oc she felt like the strongest). But when the true strongest appeared, I was happy, bc I played BR and I knew "he" must be the N°1

    • I feel like "we were 10" could go for literally every trainer not in a Stadium-like game. With the advent of age, familiarity with the series, Bulbapedia and the ability to use more than 3 items per battle, almost no fight in Pokemon is hard per se.

    • ​@@castform7Lots of people pre-scarlet/violet don't touch pokemon postgame facilities and it shows, even for sidegames like colosseum/XD (that should be mainline games according to how gamefreak treats each pokemon rpg game on the switch) they want a harder difficulty but don't like a fairer ground (can't use items, both team trainers have the same lvl, etc).

  • gen 3's NPC strats are some of the most heinous, vile, nefarious sets I've ever seen in my entire life. Like, later gens had all these cool competitive sets or anti-meta sets that're based off the pokemon's strengths or weaknesses, like Cynthia having a yache berry on Garchomp or a choice specs on Nidoking on Giovanni's team, but the Battle Frontier has NO such honor or creativity. There's Blisseys, Snorlaxes, and Dusclops running around with double team and toxic, and all of the high win streak pokemon will eventually just be legendaries and pseudos. I once barely took down a Tyranitar only to despair at the Zapdos that came in right afterwards. And don't forget the built-in counter-teaming in the Frontier specifically, where you're more and more likely to run into sets designed to hard check or counter your team the more you win. Codel is no exception. Gen 3's NPCs are devious mfers that don't give a good gosh dang about your win streak or team comp. They WILL cheese you and you WILL hold that L.
