Sham
The Guardian of War
I seriously am lost about this one. The exception to this obviously being Gary. Every game rival has gotten shafted or introduced too late to even be relevant (the worst examples being Hau and the XY rivals). Gary was okay, Walley never existed, Barry was.... kind of relevant? Bianca was not even a real threat, Cheren took on his BW2 role despite Lenora existing, Hugh didn’t exist, Shauna was...anyways, Tierno and Trevor barely served as threats and Hau was introduced 100 episodes in.
