--------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings Scratchers! Welcome to a new Pokémon project. As you saw the project name here will be the top strongest trainers. Keep reading (Its kinda long ._.) its interesting Make sure to comment down your favorite trainer (I will too) NOTE- I might make a project about the leaderboard of the strongest trainers but rn just read sry Its long. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lets Start top 10 #10 Elite Four Members The owner of the Battle Frontier, Scott, claims that the Frontier is on the level of at least the Indigo Elite Four. While that seems to be true, it's hard to stack them up against the Elite Fours of other leagues, who are officially above conference Champions like Alain and Tobias. (Appeared also in Pokémon XYZ) #9 Diantha Kalos League Champion Diantha has had two battles against Ash Ketchum, who was at that point not quite on the level of a League Champion. While she didn't have much trouble the first time, she very well could have lost the second time if Ash and Greninja didn't pass out from the Battle Bond phenomenon. #8 Ash Ketchum You all know Ash, Being the anime's star, Ash is the main barometer for this list. He's more likely to win battles against the Trainers below him in this ranking but more likely to lose battles against the Trainers above him. #7 Galar Gym leaders While most Gym Leaders wouldn't really hold a candle to some of the strongest Trainers on this list, Galar's are on a completely new level. It's been said that they surpass the Elite Fours of most other regions. #6 Alain Alain and his Mega Charizard X just seem to be cut from a different cloth. His performance at the Kalos League doesn't really do his battling skill justice, with Ash being his only real competition there. Steven Stone Steven had a surprisingly minimal appearance in the Advanced Generation seasons of anime, but he's shown his stuff during the XY seasons. Tobias Even though he seems to lack an official title aside from being Champion of the Lily of the Valley Conference, anyone that has seen Tobias's team knows full well that official titles are moot when pertaining to his power. He literally has a Darkrai as his ace and a Latios as a sparingly-used backup. (Lucky trainer -.-) Cynthia The obvious thing to point out with Cynthia is her Garchomp, which easily wrecked Paul's Torterra and might've killed Iris's Axew if Cynthia didn't call off the battle. She's also been cited to be much, much stronger than Sinnoh's Elite Four. The one supposed stain on her resume is her exhibition match against an Unova Elite Four member, Caitlin, who wouldn't crack and managed to squeak out a tie. Lance Prior to Pokemon Journeys, Lance was the Indigo League Champion (though that title has supposedly been rescinded), as well as part of a detective organization called the G-Men, which played a part in him owning a gigantic shiny red Gyarados like Lysandre's.(Pokémon XYZ) And last but not least You all should be knowing him.... Itss... LEON! Of course, first place on this list is the winner of that said Finals match, Leon. He's the World Coronation Series Monarch, with Lance at a close number two. He has a Charizard that can Gigantamax, so that's certainly something. He hasn't had any other real battles, though, besides the Finals match and another where he made quick work of Ash's Gigantamax Pikachu. It's safe to assume he'll have that rematch with Ash at some point with the way things are going, though, so fans will just have to wait. (Including me) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Kyle for the help! WOW YOU MADE IT YOU RED ALL OF IT WELL DONE!
