Iris (Pokémon Black 2 and White 2)
Much like Wallace and Leon before her, Iris also falls into the same trap any specialist Champion falls into in that if you have even just one Pokémon who can exploit their primary weakness, you’re probably set. Her dragon-type team is far and away more well-rounded than Lance’s, and the team as a whole is just more formidable and intimidating than Wallace’s. But four out of six of her team can be tipped over with the slightest cold breeze, easily wrecked by a well-timed ice move. Aggron and Lapras interrupt the dragon-based flow and are pretty interesting picks to do that considering neither of them so much as have a dragon-type attack in their arsenal. But even so, any trainer whose team you can mostly steamroll with one attack doesn’t land in the upper echelon of Champions.
