Ok list if you move Hau to the the bottom. Though Hugh also belongs close to the top, Barry is slightly too high, Gladion should be higher.

Barry is a healthy mix of friendly+competitive+competent. Hes got a unique quality of basically being ADHD, hes got a solid team and he gets good development after getting clapped at Lake Acuity.

I wish Hugh was a better rival because I love his design and battle music, and his (postgame) team. But hes irrelevant to the plot. I think that was the point though, to have a rival who thinks hes the main character in his own head. If you havent played BW2 in a while, I reccomend you replay and look at Hugh through the lens of being a comic relief character. It fits surprisingly well.

I like Gladion and think hes everyone below him are the weaker rivals, hes definitely on the good side. I just think everyone above is a bit better.

Hau is great, characters like Gladion and Faba will act all tryhard edgy and badass, and then Hau just comes along and points out how ridiculous they are in the best way possible, and just totally embarrasses them. Ive only played the og S/M and but I hear hes more serious in USUM. Hes basically the Team Skull of rivals, in that hes supposed to point out the absurdity of them. Team Skull itself is the ridiculous team but Hau does it by pointing out the edginess in Gladion, and by being all like huh? I lost. What? You thought Id be mad? Weird expectations bro. Love life
