Not to mention the former presence of Psychic types as invincible back in Gen. I.

Yeah, my Espeon in Crystal could singlehandedly own the first three Crystal E4 members, but of course not Karen (well except for her Vileplume).

Lucian was one of the easiest in D/P, followed by Flint.

I think the reason Karen's last is because of both the fact that Dark types are new and rarely anyone knew of the weaknesses, and that only 3 of her Pokemon are Dark and even then Murkrow counters both weaknesses.

Well, in D/P, I didn't start with Infernape or catch a Ponyta, so defeating that damn Bronzong was difficult. And, to be honest, the easiest one for me in D/P was Cynthia; sweeping her whole team with a DD Gyarados was just a matter of whether the Garchomp's Stone Edge connected or not.

And, I guess you have a point about Karen. As I said, maybe I only found her that easy because I happened to have two things that represented major threats to her team.

Does it have Levitate?

Does it have Levitate?

Yes.

I had to play sudden death with it with Blaziken; Psychic or Flamethrower, whichever went first won the whole match.

 

[M&F]

I tried to check if it had Heat Proof, too, by Earthquaking with the Torterra I chose over an Infernape. But it was in vain.

It has Levitate; Blaziken was always against it and Flamethrower the move.
