Steven is what Lance wishes he was. The Hoenn Pokémon League Champion keeps his team to a general theme of steel- and rock-based Pokémon, but each has a secondary typing and well-rounded moveset, which keeps his team versatile and exciting to fight against even when he’s seemingly beholden to certain archetypes. His Metagross ace feels intimidating and enigmatic when you finally reach it, and powerhouses like Aggron and Armaldo really set you up to fear what might be coming at the end of the fight. Steven’s team is one of the best at showcasing a powerful, strategic, and formidable final boss fight.
