10 Amazing Boss Fights of 2021

Cynthia – Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

Cynthia was a rough fight even back in the original games and that hasn’t changed in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. After defeating the Elite Four, Cynthia stands alone as the Pokemon League Champion. Along with having a diverse team line-up of Spiritomb, Milotic, Garchomp, and more that cover a wide range of elements, they’ll counter-attack any time you exploit their weaknesses. The key is to take down her other Pokemon quickly and then hope you can survive against Garchomp before it has a chance to use Swords Dance to boost its attack. Still, once you’re victorious, it really feels like you’ve earned the title.
