    Well she did tilt her head to look at croagunk, so maybe that was her way of saying ‘you better not as he may stand a chance’

    Should note Brock’s Croagunk stops his attack usually when he senses danger lol. He probably sensed Cynthia is incredibly strong and would easily handle Brock without his help lol

    Yea I have a feeling that was less she bad and more let the predator pass. Croagunk saw his life flash when she looked over and wanted no part in what’s coming.

    Brock wouldn’t last 5 minutes vs her.

    parent root
    14 points Fighter11244

    That depends on whether or not Ghost types classify as “dead” or not. Yes, some Pokédex entries say that they are the spirits of dead people/pokemon/etc. that have come back, but they can still be captured like normal pokemon and they can be interacted with like normal. The might technically classify as undead.

    More commonly known as PCSD (Post Cynthia Stress Syndrome).

    And if you think she was hard in the originals... They made her a damn monster in the remakes with battle items, perfect iv/ev, hidden abilities etc etc.

    That's Cynthia, the final boss of Pokemon Diamond & Pearl. We love her because she radiates "hot, fun auntie who lets you take a ride in her Lamborghini" vibes, but at the same time there's a reason why we coined the term PCSD (Post-Cynthia Stress Disorder) - she has always been among the hardest trainers to face in the entire franchise, and she only got MORE difficult with every subsequent appearance.

    Thing is his croagunk was a girl and she loves Brock and always used poison jab to stop him from talking to other girls but in this case she felt intimidated by Cynthia’s hotness and backed off.

    Defeating her after 10 attempts my first go was so satisfying. I hadn't struggled so much with the elite four since Pokémon yellow. She was insanely hard. Shes still my favorite champion because despite being so difficult to defeat she still had sn awesome personality. She gave big sister vibes.
