Which Rogue Mega Evolution did you consider the hardest to beat? (ZA + MD)

I haven't played the DLC, but from the base game, I remember having the most trouble with Barbaracle. Trying to dodge and attack Barbaracle while also avoiding taking too much chip damage from the little minion Binacle swarms while also struggling to even lock onto Barbaracle while all the Binacle were getting in the way...
 
Seconding Barbaracle. It looked easy in the first phase, but the second brought things down to the wire. In terms of base game, Starmie also gets a mention, it was pretty easy to whittle down on paper, but it's constant movement and dashing towards me made me close to blacking out. Honorable mentions to Dragonite and Hawlucha.

In terms of Mega Dimension, Darkrai took me a bit, but that's already a suped up final boss so ymmv if that counts. Also seconding Meowstic. I knew how to break the barriers, but I didn't realize you had to Go inside the area afterwards. Both are the only DLC rogues that took me multiple tries.
 
I dont remember any of them being particularly hard, but I distinctly remember Mega Dragonite being excessively tanky. Sure, I was using the tried & true strategy of facetanking every encounter with my starter/adjacent (Blastoise) until I win, but Dragonite took a really long time compared to anyone else, Ice Beam be damned.

Haven't played the DLC though, and I don't remember Barbaracle (been a few months since the playthrough), so I couldve been more troubled by another one, but Dragonite took way, waaay too long.
 
It's funny that I played through those battles only a few months ago but only remember two of them clearly, which were the Mega Banette and Mega Barbaracle fights. Those were arguably the worst for me, though I still won them without having to start over at least, unlike the Noble Pokemon fights in LA.
 
Mega Tatsugiri doesn't hit too hard, but it is so darn SLIPPERY. At best, fights where the boss moves around a lot are just annoying, but fights like that with a timer are very irritating. Whose bright idea was it to make the DLC Rogue Mega Evolution battles have a time limit?
 
Base game, I think it may have just been because of the type matchups my team has into it and the fact that my long distance special move options were rough, but I found mega altaria the hardest. Just kept flying up and chipping away at my guys.

For dlc, probably just the final
darkrai
fight. But most were annoying because of timer.
