Pokémon Diamond and Pearl - Cynthia Battle Theme (Remix)

Greetings o/

So Cynthia’s team walks into a bar. They all look surprised as they realize there is no counter .

kids growing up with XY/ORAS will never understand our pain

Cynthia gives you a Togepi egg because she’s breeding for the perfect IVs Togekiss and has too many...

That Milotic surfed my team straight to nurse Joy

4:00 Spiritomb fainted 4:08 Champion Cynthia sent out Garchomp

so this is what it sounds like without low hp noises

Focus blast: 70% accuracy Cynthia's Lucario: 101%

The best thing about Cynthia is that she is someone who researches secrets and learn a lot about the mystery of SInnoh, and here team reflects this aspect : You can play the game without hear about Spiritomb It is not that easy to get a garchomp if you never played the game before Feebas is only available in a cave, and you need a feebas to get a milotic Togekiss is only obtainable through the egg she gave you Roserade is the easiest of the lot to get Lucario is again, obtainable only through an egg

Cynthia: throws out a spirit tomb Me:...first off, how dare you. Cynthia: throws out garchomp Me: Bruh.

"So how powerful are your Pokemon?" Cynthia: yes

People who are really really good at Pokemon seem to not understand why Cynthia is such a feared Champion. Let's break it down: She comes out the gate with a swirling ball of evil that the player has never seen before, as the odds of a player finding Spiritomb on their first run is virtually zero. On top of that, the thing had no weaknesses at the time, and wouldn't until two generations later. Milotic was a tank, and more than that, it was a tank that regenerated health every turn thanks to Aqua Ring. And Lord help you if you tried to hit it with a special attack. Lucario and Garchomp are both heavy hitters that will outspeed the majority of your Pokemon, so a lot of your party would go down in one hit to either of them before you could even attack. Remember that the majority of Pokemon players, especially back in Generation 4, aren't looking at the stat distributions of their party; they're going through the game with the fun new Pokemon they've discovered along the way.

Red: I’m the best trainer in the world! Cynthia: Hold my Full Restore...

You don't beat Cynthia, you survive her.

Spiritomb No Weaknesses Togekiss Air Slash Flinching Roserade That Special Attack Lucario That Moveset and Stats Milotic Bulkiness at its Best Garchomp Don't Even Need to Explain

Seems like everyone who’s played through Sinnoh has a Cynthia story to tell, so here’s mine. I remember it took me at least three tries to finally beat her as a kid. My Palkia was Lvl 64, my beloved ace, and the last Pokémon standing. Garchomp was down and all we had to do was beat her Milotic. Little did I know that thing was packing Ice Beam.... That loss has been ingrained in my head ever since.

Everyone: Why Cynthia is so difficult to beat? Me: Children cry because they do not understand... Adults cry... because they do...

This woman alone gave my Pokemon a permanent PTSD status effect.

Her team is well balanced. Terrifying.

I fear that the diamond and pearl remakes won't be this epic
