If you lose to Volo, you will have to start over from the beginning, fighting him again in a 6v6 battle, with no opportunity to heal or adjust your team in between, making it a challenging and frustrating experience. Losing to Volo means you will have to repeat the battle until you emerge victorious, which can be a daunting task, especially considering the strength of his Pokémon and the fact that you will immediately face Giratina after defeating him.
