An open letter to the designers of the gym challenge:
STOP DESIGNING ICE GYMS AT THE END OF THE GYM CHALLENGE THAT ASK THE QUESTION-AND ONLY THIS QUESTION-"DO YOU HAVE A FIRE TYPE? IF SO, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BADGE!"
It cannot be understated that over the past 25+ years of this franchise the amount of times they did an Ice gym leader/Elite 4 right can be counted with half a hand. And that was with Lorelei, Pryce, and Ruby/Sapphire Glacia, wanna know what they all had in common? They all had Ice/Water types with water type moves to counter your fire type starter/fire type of choice. No other ice type boss, Candice, Brycan, Wulfric, Gaeric, Grusha and even Emerald Glacia, who actually got rid of all of her water moves on her two Sealeos, did that much in almost 20 years now, the closet we got was with Melony's Lapras setting Aurora veil.
Anyway for my choice of worst boss fight, it's the low hanging fruit right now but its Geeta.
As a fight it's almost insulting how easy she was despite being the top champion of Paldea, carrying both some of the weakest and most boring mons with over half her team. Gogoat, Avalugg and Veluza are all really weak with some combination of bad stats, types, and abilities you can find on fully evolved pokemon in Paldea. And she straight up has nothing to stop the incredibly popular Skeledirge and Ceruledge, from straight up 1v6ing her team without breaking a sweat. Best she has to stop them is Veluza, who is certainly not doing anything worthwhile
But what disappoints me the most is how she actively sabotages herself, Kingambit gets sent out far too soon to be at it's full strength and Glimmora is a mon built to set up hazards and then die, but is instead sent out dead last.
And I know she's 'supposed' to be easy because Nemona is the real final boss of her route, but so was Ghetsis for BW and N was still a pretty hard fight anyway.
