Pokémon: 10 Reasons Diamond, Pearl & Platinum Are Under-Appreciated
5. Cynthia Is The Most Formidable Champion
On top of being one of the most waifu material characters in Pokémon, Cynthia's team in these games are incredibly strong and she is the most difficult of trainers to overcome. As far as champions go, Cynthia is rather challenging and for that one of the most memorable.
In Platinum her team consists of; Togekiss, Roserade, Spiritomb, Milotic, Lucario, and Garchomp. Her whole team is just a walking, talking, killing machine. Before Fairy was introduced Spiritomb had no weaknesses. Her biggest threat has to come from her Garchomp. As stated earlier, Garchomp is a Ground/Dragon type so it has many powerful moves it can use, and at this point it's only weakness is Ice and Dragon.
Oh, and her Garchomp knows Flamethrower, so have fun with that.
A team like that could be a challenge while doing a regular playthrough. Add in the Nuzlocke rules and you will definitely have to earn your victory. It's easy to say Cynthia is the strongest woman in all of Pokémon.
