10 Toughest Battles In Pokémon History

9. Wulfric - Pokémon X & Y

Pokémon X & Y generally cemented the sixth generation as being the easiest the series had ever offered. There were one or two meaningful challenges left within this, however, and Wulfric's icy gym in Snowbelle City is definitely one of these.

Sending Abomasnow out first, Wulfric will quickly fool you into thinking it'll be an easy task to melt his defences. Abomasnow may fall quickly, but it'll do big damage if it does get any of its powerful attacks away. And once Abomasnow is out of the picture, things can get really tricky.

Avalugg is a tank that will withstand a few attacks that would see off any other Ice Type, while Cryogonal can be swapped in when needed to make use of quick strikes and an annoying Confuse Ray to set you onto the back foot. If Wulfric starts switching these two then it can be tough to get any successful attacks away at all and you can quickly find that your team is slowly but surely starting to waver.
