* Groudon/Kyogre (Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky): These legendary Pokemon are powerful in their respective types and can be overwhelming for unprepared teams.
* Mewtwo (Gates to Infinity): Mewtwo is a powerful psychic-type Pokemon, known for its high attack power and the ability to learn a wide range of moves.

* Giratina (Super Mystery Dungeon): This legendary Pokemon is known for its high stats and access to damaging moves, making it a challenge for many players.
From the spin-off games (Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, etc.):
* The Great King (Rescue Team DX): This boss is a giant, multi-headed beast with powerful attacks and a massive health pool, making it a true test of endurance.
* The Darkness (Rescue Team DX): This mysterious, shadowy being is a formidable opponent that challenges the player's understanding of the game's mechanics and requires a well-prepared team.
Ultimately, the most difficult boss for you will depend on your individual experience and playstyle. However, the bosses mentioned above are generally considered among the toughest in the series, offering a real challenge for even experienced Pokemon Mystery Dungeon players.
