Mustard

Why is he always forgotten when people are having power level wank fests with Cynthia, Red, Leon, and the likes? Mustard has an 18 year win streak under his belt, is known to have become Champion by overcoming a type disadvantage against the Fairy-type gym leader with his Fighting-types, and he has a Legendary Pokémon that's capable of Gigantamaxing. He's clearly a top contender for strongest NPC trainer in the series.

Because he's DLC.

Better trainer than Leon.

he literally sucked

Anyone is better than Leon. It's canon that the Galar League is a sham. Rose fixes matches (endorsement system), that's why mustard left.
And it's nepotistic as fuck, who was the champion in between Mustard and Leon? Peony (Rose's brother).

Imagine if the indigo plateau was Champ: Lance, E4 trainers: Koga, Koga's daughter,Claire and Lance's best friend, that's how the Galar League is set up.

I just think anything in SWSH sucks and doesn't count

But Peony was Champion before Rose became chairman and Peony left the league *because* Rose became chairman.

Well that's a stubborn and emotional stance to take. It might be a sign of low intelligence if you are just going to disregard things because of your own feelings about them.

Yeah it's called covering the conflict of interest. Peony makes his brother chairman and then he "quits" because he "hates" Rose.
It's obvious that Galar's league is an analogue for FIFA's corruption.

>Tops at 80 compared to mid-upper 80s
>No anime shilling him as #1 like Leon
>Well past his prime, even if he's still among the best in the region
Of course Mustard now isn't comparable to those three.
Furthermore, Mustard quit the cup in response to an offer to a rigged title match. Headcanon by linking things suggests these two events were related.

Stop making up schizophrenic conspiracy theories

But there is no objectively strongest trainer, it's all personal opinion, so if I'm going to make a wank list like you say it's based on my opinion. And in my opinion I don't like most of the trainers from SWSH so I won't include them in MY list

By the time people can get to him, they could have a powerful team already.

most people that buy pokemon games never finish them let alone buy the dlc and finish that

Monotype champions are boring.

Because no one gives a shit about some boring DLC only old man.

On that note... Why are Kanto/Johto trainers so much better than other regions?
Kanto/East Kanto champion tier trainers:
-Red (Legendary Birds+ Mewtwo)
-Blue
-Green
-Lance
-Ethan(Gold)
-Brendan/May (Mega Rayquaza/Mega Latios/Latias)
-Chicken/Celio
-LGPE's Not Red
-LGPE's Not Blue
-LGPE's Not Green (caught Mewtwo)
Why are other regions so shit at training pokémon that children from Kanto/Johto completely demolishes them?
Bonus: Team Rocket canonically absorbs all the other evil teams and Giovanni leads Rainbow Rocket.

>"This photo was taken about 50 years ago, when Mustard defeated the Fairy-type Gym Leader and went on to become Champion. He reigned undefeated until he lost his partner Pokémon. After this, his losses started to mount. He remained popular even after losing the mantle of Champion, but decided to retire after the league chairman at that time asked him to win in a rigged match. Mustard developed an obsession with video games after his retirement. Apparently he held off while he was still active in order to maintain his image to his fans."
Fuck off Rose.

Mustard was overshadowed in his own game by Leon, who functions as the actual Champion. Mustard also doesn’t play a big role in game outside of the few times you fight him, whereas Leon is shoved everywhere,
IIRC Leon got more screen time in the first half of the game than Mustard got in his dlc.

Not him but an NPC states directly that all of the companies running ads and job requests for the Galar League are owned by Rose. That is, the guy is profiteering off his own league and eliminating the competition.

>Schizo theory
>Muh undefeated "champion" Leon
> Canonically has never won against Mustard nor could he complete his training.
user, the game confirms Leon's reputation is a sham.

Well even though he is known as a Fighting-type specialist, his team is far from monotype for some reason. He has Luxray, Corviknight, and Lycanroc, only the other half of his team is Fighting-type (Mienshao, Kommo-o, and Urshifu.) Electric, Steel and Rock-types can even cover the Flying and Fairy weaknesses that Fighting-type has.

Kino

Just like how the inner city generates talent in basketball, Kanto is such a shithole that the only thing for kids to do over there is cockfight.

None of what you jsut said is actually true. You're twisting unrelated details to fit your headcanon. The canon is that Leon became champion as legitimately as any player character ever did and won battles for years because of his adaptability.

No one memes him. Cynthia and Red are powerful because they've become memes, and Leon was powerful because he started as a meme "strongest" to make the player look better when he's finally beaten and give Hop some form of complex

He's undefeated as a champion. By the time Leon became champ Mustard was retired.

> Won battles for years
> The runner up all those years was always his best friend who always jobs to him
Kek you're retarded, the game confirms everything I say.

> Undefeated
> Your promotor picks your fight
Kek

>Better trainer than Leon.
his team is stronger then leons, yes.

Mustard is just behind Leon and probably about equivalent to Raihan/other champions.

He's a funky old man, and that turns off many of the people who wank the types of characters you mentioned.
