Here's how it's going to work: First, I'll draw a map of the gym (to scale, except the first one, in which XX represents one tile in-game) and highlight the trainers with numbers, then list their Pokemon, types and attacks like this: Trainer (number) **************** (Trainer Name and type) Pokemon ~> Pokemon Lv. [XX] [Type 1] [Type 2] Move 1 Move 2 Move 3 Move 4 Also, here are the Gym types and recommended Pokemon for them. I'll explain why later on. Gym 1 - Flying - Pidgey/ Ratatta Gym 2 - Bug - Cyndaquil/ Pidgey/ Geodude Gym 3 - Normal - Any Fighting type Gym 4 - Ghost - Stantler Gym 5 - Fighting - Pidgey/ Stantler Gym 6 - Steel - Cyndaquil/ Magmar Gym 7 - Water/ Ice - Any Electric type Gym 8 - Dragon - Swinub (Or other Ice Beam-learning Pokemon)/ Dratini ---- ---- / \------------------------------------------------------------------/ \ ==()== -------------------------Zephyr Badge---------------------(ZPB)- ==()== \ /------------------------------------------------------------------\ / ---- ---- Well, this Gym's Trainers are all blocking the way to Falkner, so you have to battle both of them. Falkner himself is brutal for Cyndaquil or Chikorita, but Totodile should be OK. Your best bet if Totodile is NOT your starter is to use a Pidgey because it negates the Mud-Slap and can deal decent amounts of damage to Pidgey and Pidgeotto. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | G | | X X X X | | | |_ _ _ _ _ _| @ _ _| |_ _ @ @| 2 |@ @| _ _ _ _ _ _ _|@ @| |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @| |_ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ @| |@ @| _ _ _ _ _ _ |@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@| |@ @ _ _ _ _ _ _ _| |@ @| 1 |@ @|_ _ _ _|@ @@@@@| |@@@@@ _ _ _ /\ /\ _ _ _ |X X () () X X| | \/ \/ | |X X ___ X X| | ||||| | --------------------- Trainer (1) *********** BIRD KEEPER ABE Pokemon ~> SPEAROW Lv.9 [Normal] [Flying] Peck Growl Leer - Trainer (2) *********** BIRD KEEPER ROD Pokemon ~> PIDGEY Lv. 7 PIDGEY Lv.7 [Normal] [Normal] [Flying] [Flying] Tackle Tackle Sand-Attack Sand-Attack - - - - Gym Leader (G) ************** LEADER FALKNER Pokemon ~> PIDGEY Lv. 7 PIDGEOTTO Lv. 9 [Normal] [Normal] [Flying] [Flying] Tackle Tackle Mud-Slap Mud-Slap - Gust - - ---- ---- / \------------------------------------------------------------------/ \ ==()== --------------------------Hive Badge----------------------(HVB)- ==()== \ /------------------------------------------------------------------\ / ---- ---- Bugsy really isn't tough for anyone except Chikorita. DON'T even THINK of using Chikorita against Bugsy, especially against Scyther, because Fury Cutter will destroy it. What you should use is either Cyndaquil, Geodude or Pidgey. --------------------- |XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX| |XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX| |3 | | 4 | | XXXX XXXX | | XX XX | | XX X XX | | XX X G XX | | XX XX | | XX XX 2 | | XXXX XXXX | | 1 1 | | | | /\ /\ | |XXXX () () XXXX| |XXXX \/ \/ XXXX| |XXXXXXX ___ XXXXXXX| |XXXXXXX ||||| XXXXXXX| --------------------- Trainers (1) ************ TWINS AMY & MAY Pokemon ~> LEDYBA Lv. 10 SPINARAK Lv. 10 [Bug] [Bug] [Flying] [Poison] Tackle Poison Sting Supersonic String Shot - Scary Face - - Trainer (2) *********** BUG CATCHER AL Pokemon ~> CATERPIE Lv. 12 WEEDLE Lv.12 [Bug] [Bug] [-] [Poison] Tackle Poison Sting String Shot String Shot - - - - Trainer (3) *********** BUG CATCHER JOSH Pokemon ~> PARAS Lv. 13 [Bug] [Grass] Scratch Stun Spore Poisonpowder - Trainer (4) *********** BUG CATCHER BENNY Pokemon ~> WEEDLE Lv. 7 KAKUNA Lv. 9 BEEDRILL Lv. 12 [Bug] [Bug] [Bug] [Poison] [Poison] [Poison] Poison Sting Harden Fury Attack String Shot - - - - - - - - Gym Leader (G) ************** LEADER BUGSY Pokemon ~> METAPOD Lv. 14 KAKUNA Lv. 14 SCYTHER Lv. 16 [Bug] [Bug] [Bug] [-] [Poison] [Flying] Tackle Poison Sting Quick Attack String Shot String Shot Leer Harden Harden Fury Attack - - - ---- ---- / \------------------------------------------------------------------/ \ ==()==--------------------------Plain Badge----------------------(PLB)- ==()== \ /------------------------------------------------------------------\ / ---- ---- Now you're at the third Gym, which is shaped like a Clefairy (didn't notice that, did you?) and is filled with Normal types. It can be wiped out by pretty much any team, but a fighting type can OWN them. Whitney's Miltank should be hit with fighting-type attacks because otherwise, it will heal with Milk Drink. It's REALLY annoying, believe me. ------------------------------------------ |XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX| |XXXX XXXX| |1 XXXXXXXXXX | | XXXXXXXXXXXX G XXXXXXXXXXXX | | XXXXXX XX XXXXXX XXXXXX XX| | XX XX 4 XX 2| | XX XX XX XX XX | | XX XX XX XX XX | | XX XX XXXX | | XXXXXXXX XX XXXX XX XX XXXX | | XX XXXX XX | | XX XXXX XX XX XX | | XX XX XXXX XX | |XX XX XX XX | | /\ /\ XXXX XX | | () () XX 3 XXXX | | \/ \/ XX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XX | |XX XXXXXX XXXX XX | | ___ XXXX XXXX XX | | ||||| XXXX XXXX| ------------------------------------------ ^(It's a Clefairy!)^ Trainer (1) *********** BEAUTY VICTORIA Pokemon ~> SENTRET Lv. 9 SENTRET Lv. 13 SENTRET Lv. 17 [Normal] [Normal] [Normal] [-] [-] [-] Tackle Tackle Tackle Defense Curl Defense Curl Defense Curl - Quick Attack Quick Attack - - Fury Swipes Trainer (2) *********** BEAUTY SAMANTHA Pokemon ~> MEOWTH Lv. 16 MEOWTH Lv. 16 [Normal] [Normal] [-] [-] Scratch Scratch Growl Growl Bite Bite Pay Day Slash Trainer (3) *********** LASS CARRIE Pokemon ~> SNUBBULL Lv. 18 [Normal] [-] Scary Face Bite Charm Lick Trainer (4) *********** LASS BRIDGET Pokemon ~> JIGGLYPUFF Lv. 15 JIGGLYPUFF Lv. 15 JIGGLYPUFF Lv. 15 [Normal] [Normal] [Normal] [-] [-] [-] Sing Sing Sing Defense Curl Defense Curl Defense Curl Pound Pound Pound Disable Disable Disable Gym Leader (G) ************** LEADER WHITNEY Pokemon ~> CLEFAIRY Lv. 18 MILTANK Lv. 20 [Normal] [Normal] [-] [-] Doubleslap Rollout Mimic Attract Encore Stomp Metronome Milk Drink ---- ---- / \------------------------------------------------------------------/ \ ==()== ---------------------------Fog Badge----------------------(FGB)- ==()== \ /------------------------------------------------------------------\ / ---- ---- This Gym has only Ghost/Poison types, so if you have a Stantler (caught just south of Ecruteak City) you will destroy them.

Then she'll return to the gym. She is easy with Cyndaquil or any Fire type (Burned Tower has Magmar) or Ground Types, which have a 2x super-effective effect on her Pokemon. There's nobody else in this GYm, for whatever reason. --------------------- |XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX| |XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX| |XXXX>> <<XXXX| |XXXX>> G <<XXXX| |XXXX>> <<XXXX| |XXXX>>^^^^^^^^^<<XXXX| |XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX| |XXXXXX XXXXXX| |XXXX XXXX| |XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX| |XXXXXX XXXXXX| |XXXXXX/\ /\XXXXXX| |XXXX () () XXXX| |XXXX \/ \/ XXXX| |XX ___ XX| |XX ||||| XX| --------------------- Gym Leader (G) ************** LEADER JASMINE Pokemon ~> MAGNEMITE Lv. 30 MAGNEMITE Lv. 30 STEELIX Lv. 35 [Electric] [Electric] [Rock] [Steel] [Steel] [Steel] Thunderbolt Thunderbolt Screech Supersonic Supersonic Sunny Day Sonicboom Sonicboom Rock Throw Thunder Wave Thunder Wave Iron Tail ---- ---- / \------------------------------------------------------------------/ \ ==()== --------------------------Glacier Badge------------------(GCB)-- ==()== \ /------------------------------------------------------------------\ / ---- ---- There is a guy blocking the entrance to the Gym when you first get into Mahogany Town, who leaves only after you go to Lake of Rage, kill/capture the Shiny Red Gyarados and help Lance clear out the Team Rocket lair. This place has icy floor tiles which keep you sliding, unable to change direction until you land on a metal tile. Everyone in here is an Ice/Water type trainer, so if you want, use Cyndaquil. It could take a while against Seel, though. Pryce's Piloswine has a Blizzard attack which will massacre your Pokemon, so get a Fighting type and defeat it quickly. * [] means a tile where you can change direction.

It's really not hard if you teach a Water-type in your roster Ice Beam. Alternatively, catch a Dratini from the cave behind the Gym and train it to a high level. I would recommend the first option. By the way, the lava is going to be shown as ##. Stairs are ++ for going up, and == for going down. [] is a moveable boulder and HH is a hole. The arrows on the first floor indicate the way the rocks should be pushed. And on the ground floor, the // is where the rocks will land.
