I would say Iris.
Is the only champion here
Was the Nr 7 on the ranking in the Masters 8
Was able to take 2 of Cynthia's Pokemon >Gastrodon + Milotic (Cynthia was in the Masters 8 the nr 2 of the ranking. And Iris was close from winning. Both were on their last Pokemon. Its unfourtunate for Iris that Cynthia had Garchomp's Mega stone and she had no Mega Stone/Z-Crystsl/Dynamax. If she had it could be possible)
