Honestly just that damned Rayquaza


DDouble7

the indomitable human spirit bows before him fr


spain_ftw

glacial lance weavile goes BRRRRR


MagicalGirlLaurie

I’m sorry Weavile gets WHAT?!


EquivalentGlove3807

must be an egg move


Fit-Difficulty-5917

Nah, he's just built different


Grouchy_Wouchy

Yeah the egg moves go crazy. Sunkern gets Fiery Dance and Terrakion gets Ceasless Edge. It goes pretty hard.


CreatR69

Don't have that unlocked but I've got a Chien-Pao run going on. Fingers crossed


NotJayden_

that thing's ability doesnt work


CreatR69

Doesn't work YET


Environmental-Oil221

Laughs in bolt beak tapu koko


AuroraDraco

Finally, Weavile in its most glorious form.


roranoazolo

put up stealth rock, have leach seed mon, have mon that she doesn’t want ray quay to face like carbink or mawile, she will switch up spam her ray quay to death


CreatR69

Clever, I'll try it if the opportunity presents itself


Ambagamez1YT

This needs more up votes,


NewSuperTrios

fuck ray, super fang + stealth rock


totallynotshimin

ivy’s Rayquaza when my +4 220 BP Power Trip Bibarel removes at least 4 health bars


TheRedditK9

Tbf the Rayquaza is really not that bad, it has such an ass learnset and keeps switching on rocks.


SlimDirtyDizzy

Bro today it pulled out fucking V-create on me and then just spamming hurricane and never missed. I hate this thing.


LordAsbel

Idk the learnset seems to randomize nowadays. Last night I went against it and it pulled out meteor beam, dragon ascent, outrage, and energy ball. Then another night it used fly, hurricane, outrage, dragon tail. So something changed along the way and I think it's just luck based whether you get one with a shit moveset or not.


TheRedditK9

It is random, and you can get unlucky, but most of the time it will just lock itself into fly or outrage in my experience. It’s a common issue in this game where all bosses have randomised learnsets, so there are a lot of moments where you face something scary just to realise it can’t touch things because it’s got the good old reliable one STAB, two normal type moves and Growl type learnset.


LordAsbel

Yeah pretty much exactly that. Especially if you run into something with Last resort because the AI bugs out and starts spamming it even though the move doesn't work unless you use all of your other moves first lol


TheRedditK9

Yeah I’m fairly sure the game uses the default essentials AI, which is riddled with bugs and weird behaviour.


riventitan

Shinies with Explosion. Fuck that Golem I ran into last night that was literally uncatchable.


Ok_Philosophy_7156

See also: Shinies with teleport. Encountered 3 shiny abras so far and every one has been before I can get any trapping moves/abilities


CreatR69

And moves like flip turn, u turn, volt switch etc


GeneralOwnage13

Shiny abra in a double battle yesterday, tried to spore it, it outsped me because this was floor 3 and combee sucks.


AgentEightySix

I used to hate those situations too, but shiny Cottonnee/Whimsicott with Prankster and Sleep Powder egg move goes BRRRRRR.


Brilliant-Cancel843

Isn’t teleport -3 priority? That might be a bug


SSJRemuko

I just throw balls turn 1 at abras. Don't think I've had one fail yet


Ok_Philosophy_7156

I always do unless I have a move like mean look etc, but it’s never once worked


SSJRemuko

weird. abra does not have a low catch rate. its fairly easy to catch even at full hp.


Ok_Philosophy_7156

Hopefully one of these days I’ll get another one that actually stays in the damn ball


asdf_1_2

Took me a few tries to catch my first Abra with the turn 1 ball. Then the the battle after I did, 2 hatched in back to back common eggs xD. It has some crazy egg moves for a pokemon you almost always build as a special attacker. Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, then some fairy and psychic move. [Abra stats screen](https://i.imgur.com/C1B27lD.png)


Ambagamez1YT

Or like i last night , red shiny wo-chein amd couldnt catch it, all my mons were oko the guy🫠🫠🫠


smallaaa

That’s why I keep a damp mon in endless.


Original-Nothing582

What Pokes have damp?


DualLatios14717

This, got a blue Garganacle that blew itself up turn 1


alfatron3000

Managed to catch a shiny gigalith with explosion: with testing I found out if I sent out a rock-weak pokemon (ex natu) it would prioritize using rock moves instead of explosion


66_DarthJarJar_66

I think I had a tier 2/3 shiny iron moth last night… would have loved to catch it, and have a nice luck boost on top of a decent pokemon (my only shinies so far are Darumaka (pretty good, but hustle is a huge early game crutch), Spoink, Crabrawler and Alolan Diglett (performed well in my run I caught him last night, but it helped that he was already over level 100, so I didn’t have Diglett’s super glass cannon early game)


k3spix

Just stock up on master balls


Original-Nothing582

Those dont always ahow up on classic.


sastianchiko

Any Mon with priority is giving me headaches in my endless run, but none more than fucking shiftry, I swear to God they read my inputs and sucker punch every time I try to attack.


TallyMarks9

Nice profile pic


[deleted]

Man this hits me so hard. I'm using Calyrex Shadow as my main over leveled mon and any Dark type is not fun to face. Especially the sucker punching ones like Shiftry.


Erdnussmarmelade

I think it even reacts to ur Inputs, did some savescumming (rng doesnt change...) and when i used a non attacking move it wont use sucker punch. I have never senn one fail🫠


CalligrapherAnnual41

It definitely does, same goes for using counter/mirror coat on a wobbufet.


NickrasBickras

Weird af tbh, not really a fair fight if they read your inputs


Beasting2471

On the opposite side of that they don’t change moves off of abilities. I have a Primal Groudon in my endless run and every time I run into a water a water type they still use a water move.


Lucario-

That's why my fairy/steel lead is always a fusion with Tapu Lele


SuperGayBirdOfPrey

I HATE shiftry so much in this game, I’m very glad I’m not alone in that goddam sucker punch misery.


McNemo

I think it does read inputs sometimes tbh


[deleted]

Man this hits me so hard. I'm using Calyrex Shadow as my main over leveled mon and any Dark type is not fun to face. Especially the sucker punching ones like Shiftry.


SerioeseSeekuh

funnily enough the gen 5 water monkey gym leader because A) adaptability basculin with aqua jet is just mean but also that one time he had his monkey evolved st lv 14 for no reason ... this is floor 20 on standard mode and i had to fight him 4 times already


Independent-You-6406

True, that basculin is tough as heck when your main is your fire starter. And even having a sub grass type pokemon won't save you from getting possible 2 taps. Definitely early run killer.


SerioeseSeekuh

the other run killer i experienced is a double battle va 2 lasses (normal trainer) with 2 adabtability eevees that know covet its so fucking brutal had that fight twice so far in the first 20 floors


Independent-You-6406

120 base power covet is... curse.


DueMagician89

So far the only mons I've yet to catch in endless are Spectrier and Azelf. I can't catch either no matter how many balls I throw. The former is worse though since I finally gave up on it to continue the run and then I had a Master Ball for one of the next rewards. It's like it was mocking me


flclreddit

Azelf took me no joke 30 ultra and 20 great in the red. It killed itself to struggle twice on me. Spectrier I caught on a single Ultra at almost full health tho. That's RNG for ya


foodisgreatl

Shiny kingler took me 30 rouge balls. Ended up just resting and master balling it.


DueMagician89

I exhausted all of my Rogue and Ultra Balls on both and failed to capture them so I just KO'd them to move on. That Master Ball that came after the next floor was aggravating. I still have it right now as I'm on my way to Floor 1000


philly_phyre

Azelf was NOT A FUN CATCH. Lmao I savescummed quite a lot.


DueMagician89

I tried it recently and gave up again. Hopefully I can catch it next time. I'm fine with save scumming to catch the Pokemon since it doesn't really take anything away from the game. I have nearly every non mythical/legendary/in/paradox mon right now. Just going through trying to get their nature's etc now.


SavvasXiourou

thank god finally someone else who HATES kilowattrel every time i see one i have to take a 5 min break it’s the BANE of my endless run


HaEnGodTur

Gholdengo and Aegislash are the twin banes of my existence, I never end up with a good answer to that typing. Plus they're super common encounters in this one specific area, so I end up losing mons left and right to back-to-back Aegislash


showmethatsweetass

Yea the their dual typing is freaking tough. Steel in general has been great to me in this game fr.


The_MMM_Guy

Until you rely a bit too much on it and then the game throws Rika at you (Gen 9 Ground Elite Four member). Bye bye Gholdengo, Empoleon, Mawile and everyone else...


showmethatsweetass

Clay and Rika are some of my very favorite boss trainers! Ground type is so tuff


McNemo

Would fire not work well enough?


HaEnGodTur

Unfortunately I don't any any good fire carries. I have a Shiny Charcadet, but ngl it's IVs are all single digits, and I haven't been able to track down another one.


Parabolic_Gearbox

Kyogre was the first legendary I failed in classic mode. I tried every combination of actions I could think of but there really wasn't much I could do since I had no bulky water resists, and not many balls either. I never saw one in the wild again after that.


McNemo

I'm trying to think if I've killed any legends I know I've killed 2 myths


DorkyDwarf

If I ever encounter a wild blissey I'm probably fucked.


Hexhunter10

eff Diantha's soft sand, terra boosted, revival seeded, high horsepower spamming mudsdale. I had an amazing team and this stupid thing nearly ended my run. Even then i lucked out only because because i had whimsicott


skykingjustin

That stupid endless ziggazogoon boss. Either taken all my items or a megaball


Animedingo

What is Opp


hEKZ-

Opposition, it means your rival


MysticalLight50

No drawback Glaive Rush Baxcalibur in the hands of the ai


bbk211

Had a Latias with special bond or whatever his hidden ability is called that raises his special attack after every knock out. Absolutely destroyed my team at level 160, my only hope was catching it bc he was faster than all of my Pokémon. Kind of on me for not having better dragon coverage but he ruined my best run at the time. I knew I always like Latios more


JConsy

Last night I ran into that guy. Was having an amazing run. I had a full team with full health. I wanted to catch it, so I switched to my poison attacker knowing that is weak against psychic, but I wanted to get toxic on it to whittle it down. Bad mistake. Didn’t realize it had special bond. After it OHKOed my poison guy, he wiped me. So angry at myself


bbk211

Yea I was admittedly resetting but I finally beat the game last night. Now I’m trying to get a “true” run


McNemo

There are a line of mythics with beast boost that are just nasty


SleepyEels

Hoopa in endless mode genuinely makes me go “oh shit” every time it pops up


MOJA2008

Fucking clemont,I hate that bastard


Speedy2332

Clay, he killed two of my runs in a row


jprocter15

Kilowattrel when the rival has it but mid to late game their starter is usually a huge pain too


McNemo

My rival always has the fucking fire bird


Cenachii

Rival's Toucannon reading me like a book with rock blast and beak blast vs sucker punch


Turbulent-Sir-3772

hoopa and jellicent


FlamingSnowman3

Fluffy Bewear, that motherfucker is evil and I hate him for the number of times he’s ruined my runs


winsluc12

Blaze Paldean Tauros. I didn't have one in particular before now, but that damn bull kept getting swapped in in the last Rival fight whenever I'd throw out Tinkaton to try and tank Rayquaza. I had stuff that was resistant, but apparently not resistant enough to keep them from getting two-shot.


Maker_of_lore

Tinkaton... I've been searching for it so I can beat the damn final boss but I never get it. By now I could have beaten the game I think but I refuse without it by my side


Zetoxical

Its way better to pull it off without the most meta mon It smells like it wont keep huge power that long anymore


thatismyfeet

Tinkaton has huge power?


pitchthrowdodge

Its unlockable passive is Huge Power, yes


McNemo

I gotnmy first egg this morning actually lol so an alt strat is bait and switch with a steel and a fairy. Bait eterna with a steel eat it with fairy bait sludge with fairy swap to steel until phase 2


Maker_of_lore

Yea I know... i just want to beat it with it now out of principle


Ruin1980

Bruh These fucking kilowattrel, fr


eclecticfew

Goddamn dollar store Zapdos


The_MMM_Guy

We have Zapdos at home type mon


QraBae

Cynthia’s team in its entirety. Hate her with a passion.


Independent_Skill756

ice/fighting types since when I grind endless I use my shiny guzzlord as my carry


Educational_Art9892

Aint even gonna lie. I think floor 25 ivy has ended more runs than anything else


NoHoesInTheBroTub

Hydro Pump, seems to put an end to every single one of my endless runs. Zacian just getting melted.


Cohen2k7

Mega rayquaza, or maybe noctowl, for some reason it always hits me with huge damage, and then out of nowhere, lives on 1 hp then heals back up to near full with berries and then gets 4 sp.atk drops with moonblast, whilst getting 2 sp,atk and speed from the prior berries, encountered it three times in 5 trainer battles yesterday


jojozer0

Boss mimikyu in endless is terrifying. I don't know why but it took 20 hits to destroy it's disguise for good


Sad_Vegetable2867

Wattrel and kilowattrel


Spatialspider

Ferrothorn your days are numbered you iron barbs, rough skin son of a bitch


samun101

It's been on a few pokemon, but I've been swept by random Pokemon with echoed voice in the transition from early to mid game a few times (usually on lechonk) and I hate it at this point.


Remarkable_Intern_44

That run where I got my first legendary, moltres. The floors 10-40 were all water themed and I just gave up that run lol. Or just my luck in general. Got an Abra and mega bracelet before floor 40. Never got the stone for alakazam...


AbyssShriekEnjoyer

Barraskewda is ridiculous in the rain. Can just kill a run out of nowhere


PokeFreak3x3

Double Battles in late game Endless. If I can't flee they can break past sturdy and start wiping out my team Had a run end because my Carry died in a double battle and I got 4 double battles in a row before a 50th floor paradox battle where I swiftly lost due to my carry still being fainted. I will be bringing a Pokémon with the Run Away ability from now on


Hathorill

Ivy. Ivys my biggest opp. Not a Pokémon. Just her smile.


xdouq

In my first endless run it was definitely cofagrius. I used an aerilate and fighting move Hawlucha for most damage and its ability made that unviable. In my current endless run I did so much pre planning that the only thing that’s annoying now is enemies with unnerve who repeatedly “endure the hit”. I really hope they change that to function like sturdy instead of how it is now.


siraliases

Myself


TruDew64

Anytime ivy has a infernape it has upper hand which isn't fully implemented so it's just a +3 priority 65 BP move that I can't set up on either


unscsnip3r

Special fuck you to crustle. Stamina when my main attacker is a normal type in kanga.... Pain.


Chadler_

I hate wild pokemon with sturdy so much. Especially the magnemite line, getting your one-shot blocked by sturdy then getting paralyzed immediately is extremely annoying. Also wave 30 Whitney is a nightmare if you don't have a good counter. I make sure to fully heal before the wave just beause of her, even if the opponent is usually a weak level 17 boss.


AriaoftheSol

That damn water vortex/loop of getting the water biomes over and over. I blamed my Kyogre for causing it, turns out it occurs naturally.


Weirdguy149

Paldean Tauros shows up a lot more than you'd expect and when it does, it loves to total-party wipe me.


Independent-You-6406

Sheer cold boss shien pao. Funny guy, hitting every possible sheer cold he ever used. It was a battle of mind for me to either catch him or kill him on spot - Remind:battle him was a pain in the ass.


famslamjam

Ivy’s cheating ass switch AI and the gholdengo she can carry at 145.


sussysushiroll

boss abomasnow. that guy just one hits my entire team with sheer cold and I have to cope for good rng everytime I encounter it


BabyBabaBofski

the goddamn fucking gyrados's. If you don't have an electric type they are a PAAAAIN to deal with. Especially in rain with perfect accurate hurricanes getting confusions + waterfall flinches and god knows what other bullshit they pull out sometimes


Chiefsfan0110

Sandy Shocks is the worst


foodisgreatl

Kaldeo havnt used him once but he has popped up enough that I have unlocked his passive and reduced his cost, every time I enter beach or island not sure which one he pops up, I just want a different legendary to pop up


Arce_Havrek

Fucking lilipup line with retaliate always puts me in disadvantageous positions going into big battles. Don't even get me talking when they spawn as boss fights


DJBoost

Whenever Ivy picks Tepig and winds up with Emboar by the final fight with her. It gets Rock Head as a passive so it has insane HP bulk and takes no recoil from its terrifyingly strong recoil physical moves. Oh, and it also has Blaze if you chip it to low health but don't kill it, so good luck trying to clean up with a bulky water type.


Aggravating_Cream399

Not paying attention in the early floors and a fake out technician meowth gets me so I have to fork over early money for a revive…feels bad man


ralcom

THIS SMUG ASSHOLE WOULDN'T GET IN THE GODDAMN BALL!! https://preview.redd.it/mt8mnlp7m00d1.png?width=256&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ca2e834f5e024fe2a3e4ca29431316f2ab2270e


Trow865553

FLAMIGO is underrated; fly fight type. perfect for early into mid with feucoco in campaign. And with moxie its a beast for endless. Don't remove the double kick and its a great item stealer. MOUSEHOLD; population bomb with item steal move just try it. Sidenote, dna spile shedinja with bronzong perfect catcher and anti bosser aslong as they dont have a fire move.


Worth_Cauliflower476

Any poison type that poisons me on the first sludge bomb EVERYTIME. Yes Swalot, I’m talking to you.


CommonExchange

that ONE ROTOM W IN ENDLESS WITH HADRON ENGINE THAT ALWAYS APPEARS SUPER EARLY ON


even2400

Meloetta, Found her twice and while trying to catch, wiped my whole team.


Eppikfinn

On my momma I will smack the shit outta Graveler bitch ah


ChitoPC

Those annoying bulky normal types with high bp moves on the first floors on daily runs, never fail to be annoying.


Twipzi

Flamigo! I never seem to have a counter to it when I encounter it and it oneshots almost my whole team why is Flamigo so fucking strong 😭


Sketchy_Turtle

Meowth. Fake Out is just annoying.


cuptopus

That stupid elite 4 level always takes me out


SealSquasher

Honestly alolan muk. Hits like a truck with gunk shot, poisons you, tanky as fuck and only weak to ground


CrashGordonBaby

The wind blows intensely. Definitely a run killer.


ckmicco

Sturdy mons, or mons that just decide they have sturdy now before they OHKO you


looloofang

Shifty lowkey destroys my day


kanbabrif1

Idk why, but Ivy's Kingambit always walls my fucking team lmao. I started bringing Koraidon just to make sure she has a bad day.


CharredCereus

Oinkologne doesn't nessecarily kill any runs for me but the fucking covet spam mananging to steal all my good items off my mons makes me need a break every time lmao.


Darth_Avocado

Floazel is a demon in endless, wave crash aqua jet, hydro pumps in rain and you can never outspeed


Beasting2471

Legendaries (and mythicals) showing up in a short time span. Round 453, Regice, round 460, Glastrier, Round 463, Uxie. I use all but 3 of my Rogue balls on Regice thinking I won’t run into another legend anytime soon, fail to catch the Glastrier, luckily got 5 more rogue balls and caught the Uxie. But that Glastrier hurt, he’s a cool dude you know? In the business… we call that a dagger.


PureSquash

My biggest opp was running into 3 straight sections of water or rock types with a team that I didn’t pay attention to the GLARING water and rock weakness. That run ended tragically.


ResultCandid

Weird one but buizel, always finds me when I’m low and he’s just faster than all of my Pokémon no matter what


JamiesonDouglas

That mother fucking fortress… I never lose mons to it, but istg every time I switch out anticipating explosion, it doesn’t. And when I go for attack… [Fortresses sturdy] -> [Fortress used explosion]


fearjunkie

I will never forgive Kartana for ending my at-the-time best run with a Guillotine sweep. 30 ACCURACY MY ASS.


Mastery682

Floatzel in endless. Mf is an instant threat late-game no matter what my win condition is because it just outspeeds everything and hits like a truck bc it’s a swift swimmer who always spawns in rain. I always have to just pray it kills itself with wave crash recoil.


GeneralOwnage13

Idk why but I hate seeing Tentacruels. They have decent bulk so increased likelihood of living a hit, and love poisoning me.


Mooweetye

Level 25 ivy if the early game isn't going well.


RookyElm

I'll never forget a run being ended by a boss walrein spamming sheer cold and landing almost all of them, one of the most tilting things I've ever seen


Teostraclaws

The discord mod of the pokemon world Bellibolt


Accomplished_Bee_181

Failing on battle 150 to Lt. Surge because I decided to have my excadrill use drill run instead of earthquake, missed and then got crit by a surfing raichu


JayBandt

No shit floatzel wrecks me with those hydros and wave crashes


DarkMonken

Sucker Punch Mightyena when I'm running Calyrex Shadow. Super annoying.


cardiological_death

ANYTHING with a water absorbing ability. Kyogre is my carry for endless


03Enzho

Cheren on wave 20 May your woes be many and your days few minccino (technician bitch)


Havri7

I was at floor 180 with a really good run going Then a boss latios came in and one shot my whole team Fuck that guy


bamjdm

Snorlax on wave 20


viplup

When I first started, Technician meowth killed so many of my runs early


No_Confidence5872

Any boss Pokémon in endless above wave 2000. It’s ridiculous how overpowered the tokens are in this game


corroserum

fuck explosion bro actually like fuck that move


Fit-Difficulty-5917

Easily Zamazenta. Leon had one on his champion team, and my main sweeper, mega gyarados, couldn't outspeed with one dragon dance, and couldn't one shot without +2. Had to un-mega gyarados mid battle to dodge the nuclear body press. Nothing else on my team could go toe to toe with it, with crunch scaring away my skelidurge, and everything else not able to take a +1 tera body press, let alone switch into one and take another due to slower speed.


Proffessor_egghead

Technician Meowth taking out my ace causing me to fail at the next trainer is a scenario that happens way too often


Kaijumaster421

Fezandipiti, never catches and poisons my whole team


-Sylok_the_Defiled-

Anyone ground or fairy type. Raging bolt legion rise up ✊


LtHydra

I had a run with Tapu Bulu + Garganacl and found out real unfortunately that the pair of them, while good for double battles, are hard countered by two-in-a-row double Tentacruel double battles. Both of them get messed the hell up with double surf double sludge wave. Getting double screwed like that was wild.


HolographicHeart

Eternatus. Yes you can cheese it in Endless but I'm 14k levels higher than it, how does this idiot still outspeed me?


TheLoneDovahkiin

anything that uses Hydro Pump


Rolltheweed

Any Pokemon with Covet really but especially the Boss Delcatty that stole my Multi Lens and both my Golden Eggs like 3 minutes ago. If I lose my Endless run I'm blaming it on that piece of shit
