- Kaudan: Trumbeak OHKOes his entire team with Pluck. Then again, I was underestimating the Exp. Share and battled him with a Level ~18 team...
- Olivia: A combination of an underleveled Cubone and Trumbeak dealt with her.
- Nanu: Sableye and Persian where surprisingly annoying. Between both, they KOed half my team. Otherwise, nothing special.
- Hapu: Led with Salazzle, which meant Mudsdale used its Tectonic Rage on the only Pokemon it was absolutely unnecessary to use on. Later, Gastrodon appeared after Mudsdale and Flygon fell to try to wall my Pelipper (I didn't know it did not have Storm Drain), but then I sent out my Oricorio with HP Grass...
Team Skull
I won't even discuss them, as they were ridiculously easy. Plumeria is a joke, whereas my Reptile/Dinosaur themed team brutally countered whatever Guzma could throw at me.
Rivals
- Hau: You hardly battle him. That being said, the first time he used his Raichu, he surprised me by OHKOing my Marowak with Psychic. But that's it.
- Gladion: Type:Null is difficult to take down in the first battle (and in the forced Battle Royale, you are better off targeting Kukui's Rockruff), but the other battles are fairly easy. His Weavile in the Mount Lanakila battle annoyed me by critting my Kommo-o with Ice Shard whereas Sky Uppercut missed.
Aether Foundation
- Faba: A complete pushover.
- Lusamina: Here, he have to split the battles.
- The first battle was of moderate difficulty at the beginning, with Clefable being difficult to break through, and Mismagius was all too happy to 2HKO my Pokemon with Shadow Ball. The other three Pokemon were a joke, as not even Lilligant's Teeter Dance could buy turns (as it inexplicably Teeter Danced twice in a row, even though Oricorio got bad confusion rolls twice in the same turn).
- The second battle, on the other hand... was a complete joke. Clefable decided to Metronome in front of a Pokemon it could OHKO with Moonblast, and ended up Encoring a Poison Jab. While Kommo-o fell before Clefable, it set the standard for the rest of the battle. Mismagius spammed Pain Split, Milotic set up Safeguard and got KOed, Bewear never moved in both battles and Lilligant Quiver Danced in front of an Oricorio (which had KOed the other four Pokemon), which promptly got the OHKO with Hurricane.
