=======================
Here are the gym leaders of the Johto region and what Pok�mon they use and
how to defeat each of them in a pinch.
Violet City Gym - GLJ01
-----------------------
Leader: Falkner
Pkmn Type: Normal/Flying
Pok�mon: Pidgey Level: 9
Pidgeotto Level: 13
Badge: Zephyr Badge
Description: All Pok�mon you get in trades up to level 20 will now obey
you. You can also use Rock Samsh outside of battle.
How to Defeat Falkner:
His Pidgey likes to use Sand Attack followed by Tackle. Tackle is used a
lot, so I suggest you may want to bring a Pok�mon that can take it out
quickly, before Pidgey uses Sand Attack too many times. Pidgeotte however
is the real problem. It likes to use Gust, Tackle and Roost. If you chose
Cyndaquil or Totodile as your starter Pok�mon, or have one of their
evolutionary stages, use them. If you chose Chikorita as your starter
Pok�mon and have it or its evolutionary stages, you are going to need to
be crafty in using its moves to defeat Pidgeotto. Once you have defeated
Falkner in battle, he will reward you with TM51 (Roost) and the Zephyr
badge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azalea Gym - GLJ02
------------------
Leader: Bugsy
Pkmn type: Bug
Pok�mon: Scyther Level: 17
Metapod Level: 15
Kakuna Level: 15
Badge: Hive Badge
Description: All Pok�mon you get in trades up to level 30 will now obey
you. You can now use Cut outside of battle.
How to defeat Bugsy:
Bugsy's strategies are different than it was in the Original Gold, Silver
and Crystal games. One main change is he starts with Scyther. The reason
is probably because Scyther knows the move "U-Turn", a powerful attack
that switches out another Pok�mon after it has been used. Kakuna and
Metapod are both very weak and only have the attacks they had when they
were Weedle and Caterpie, so they will be easy to KO. They real danger
begins after both Metapod and Kakuna have been knocked out of battle.
Bugsy can now use Scyther's U-Turn without having to switch out a new
Pok�mon. Chances are that if your Pok�mon receives a hit with U-Turn,
it will probably be an instant KO, so be careful. Scyther also knows
Quick Attack, Leer and Focus Energy. Be careful when he uses Focus energy.
The Best Pok�mon type to use against Bugsy is Fire and Rock. So try using
Quilava, Geodude and / or Onix. Using Pok�mon with high resistance helps
as well. It would be a good idea to carry some Potions with you. Once
you have defeated Bugsy, he will reward you with both the Hive Badge and
TM89.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
gOLDENROD gYM - glj03
---------------------
Leader: Whitney
Pkmn type: Normal
Pok�mon: Clefairy Level: 17
Miltank Level: 19
Badge: Plain Badge
Description: Decription Unkown.
How to defeat Whitney:
Whitney's Pok�mon are the same level as when you first foght her back in
Gold, Silver and Crystal. Her Clefairy can use Mimic to learn the last
attack you used, it also knows Doubleslap and Metronome. Metronome uses
random attacks, so be careful. Her Miltank is the same as it has always
been. It knows Attract, Stomp, Milk Drink and Rollout. Be careful of the
Rollout Attack, every turn that passes by, it gets stronger and stronger.
Try to defeat Miltank before it uses Rollout and Milk Drink. Milk Drink
allows Miltank to recover it's health. To avoid being under the spell of
Miltank's Attract attack, its best to use a Pok�mon of the female gender.
The best type of Pok�mon to use are Fighting, and Ghost types or Pok�mon
taht know Fighting type moves. Since Rollout is a Fighting type move, it
would be best to avoid using Flying type moves and Pok�mon. Once you have
defeated Whitney, she will refuse to give you the badge. Try to leave the
Gym and one of the Trainers will stop you. She will tell you to go and
talk to Whitney again. Whitney will now give you the Plain Badge and TM45
(Attract).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ecruteak Gym - GLJ04
--------------------
Leader: Morty
Pkmn type: Ghost/Poison
Pok�mon: Gastly Level: 21
Haunter Level: 21
Haunter Level: 23
Gengar Level: 25
Badge: Fog Badge
Description: Allows you to control traded Pok�mon up to and including
level 50. Also you may now use Surf outside of battle.
How to defeat Mort:
Morty was one of the toughest gym leaders in the original Gold, Silver and
Crystal games. He continues to keep that title here in the Heart Gold and
Soul Silver games today. Be warned, if you are unprepared, you are going to
have some major issues. First, Gastly...it does not use too many attacks,
but its biggest threat is Curse. Curse is an attack that halves its HP and
takes away some with every passing turn. It cancels if you switch out
another Pok�on, but it also likes to use Mean Look to prevent you from
switching out in the first place. Finally, it uses Spite to lower your
attack PP slowly. The Level 21 Haunter is another threat. It likes to use
Hypnosis first, then it likes to use Dream Eater. It also knows Night
Shade and Curse. Best thing to do is to carry a lot of Awakenings before
you enter battle. Morty has a second Haunter, so take care of this one
quickly as well. Finally his last Pok�mon is Gengar. This last Pok�mon is
Morty's biggest threat of all. Its main attack is Shadow Ball. Shadow ball
is a very powerful ghost attack. He can also use Sucker Punch as well. Best
thing to do is to use a normal Pok�mon to cancel out his Shadow Ball
attack. It is recommended to use Normal-type Pok�mon since they have total
resistance to all Ghost-type Pok�mon and Ghost-type moves. Psychic and
Dark-type moves work as well. Once you have defeated Morty, he will reward
you with TM30 (Shadow Ball) and the Fog Badge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cianwood Gym - GLJ05
--------------------
Leader: Chuck
Pkmn type: Fighting
Pok�mon: Primeape Level: 29
Poliwrath Level: 31
Badge: Storm Badge
Description: Allows you to use Fly outside of battle.
How to defeat Chuck:
Even though Chuck may only have two Pok�mon, they are both at a very high
level and can be a real pain in the butt if you are under-leveled. Its
recommended that you are at least level 26-28 or above before you enter
into battle with him. His first Pok�mon is Primeape. It uses Leer to lower
your defense, then Double Team to make it hard to hit. For attacks, it can
use Rock Slide and Focus Punch to do massive damage. The trick to Focus
Punch is he needs to not be attacked before he uses it or else it misses
and he loses his turn. If he is about to use the it, use an attack on him
to conter it. Flying attacks work best, but it might be hard to hit him
with Rock Slide. Ghost attacks work well for dodging his Focus Punch.
Poliwrath is his main fighter. He likes to use hypnosis to knock you out,
and then use Surf, Body Slam and Focus Punch to slowly lower your HP. Like
Primeape, use an attack before he uses Focus Punch. You can use Flying-type
Pok�mon without any issues and Ghost-type Pok�mon work as well once again.
Once you have defeated him, he will reward you with TM01 (Focus Punch) and
the Storm Badge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olivine Gyme - GLJ06
--------------------
Leader: Jasmine
Pkmn type: Steel
Pok�mon: Magnemite Level: 30
Magnemite Level: 30
Steelix Level: 35
Badge: Mineral Badge
Description: All Pok�mon, including traded ones, up to level 70 will obey
you.
How to defeat Jasmine:
Depending on your current team, Jasmine can either be the easiest or
hardest Gym Leader depending on your team. Steel Pok�mon are a rather hard
bunch to hit and have few weaknesses, so you need to have a plan. Fire
Pok�mon are its main weakness, so if you don't have one, it is recommended
that you go catch a Vulpix and/or a Growlithe on Route 36. Also you will
want to have a Ground-type Pok�mon for her two Magnemites, such as Onix or
Graveler. First up are her two Magnemites. They are identical in level and
in moves, so there is not much difference. Usually, they like to use
Supersonic to confuse you and then Thunder Wave to paralyze you. Then she
will use Thunderbolt or Sonic Boom against you. The best way to counter
this is to have a ground-type Pok�mon, like mentioned above. Fire-types
works well on her as well. Finally, there is her Steelix. This is her
worst Pok�mon. Not only does it have a high defense, but it is at a very
high level at lv 35. It usually likes to Screech to lower your defense,
and then use Sandstorm to damage any non steel/rock/ground-type Pok�mon,
and after that use Iron Tail and Rock Throw over and Over. Your best bet
for defeating Steelix is to use a Fire-type and/or Water-type Pok�mon.
Once you have defeated Jasmine, she will reward you with the Mineral Badge
and TM23 (Iron Tail).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mahogany Gym - GLJ07
--------------------
Leader: Pryce
Pkmn type: Water/Ice
Pok�mon: Seel Level: 30
Dewgong Level: 32
Piloswine Level: 34
Badge: Glacier Badge
Description: Allows you to use Whirlpool outside of battle.
How to defeat Pryce:
Pryce has not changed much from his GSC days, only being about 3 higher
then his old team. His moves have not changed much either, although his
Pok�mon no longer all have Icy Wind as a main attack. Anywho, his Seel has
Icy Wind, Rest, Snore, and Hail. Icy Wind lowers your speed each time it
hits, so be careful not to have it lowered too much. He will use Rest when
Seel gets low on HP, and then Snore to damage you while sleeping. Snore
also has a high chance of flinching, so be careful. Hail lasts several
turns and hits any Pok�mon that is not a Ice type Pok�mon, so it will hit
Seel as well. Electric Pok�mon work best here. Dewgong is similar to Seel,
but has much stronger moves. it has Rest, Sleep Talk, Aurora Beam, and Ice
Shard. Auora Beam and Ice Shard are both strong Ice Type attacks, while
Sleep Talk allows it to use one of those two moves while the user is
asleep. Once again, Electric attacks work well against Pryce, but Fighting
can also cause some serious damage. Finally, there is Piloswine, the
powerhouse of his team. It is holding a Sitrus Berry, which will restore
25% of its HP when it gets low. Its moves include Blizzard, Ice Fang, Mud
Bomb, and Hail. All are very powerful moves, and can be hard to take down
if your Pok�mon are underleveled. Piloswine is weak to fighting, steel,
fire, water, and grass moves, so moves such as Surf, Mega Drain, Iron Tail,
any fighting moves, and Fire Blast are all good ones. Be careful about
using Fire and Grass types, since they are weak to his attack. Once you
have defeated Pryce, he will reward you with TM07 (Hail) and the Glacier
Badge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blackthorn Gym - GLJ08
----------------------
Leader: Clair
Pkmn type: Dragon
Pok�mon: Dragonair Level: 38
Dragonair Level: 38
Gyarados Level: 38
Kingdra Level: 41
Badge: Rising Badge
Description: All Pok�mon received in a trade will obey you. You can now
use Waterfall outside of battle.
How to defeat Clair:
Ah Clair...She is many things: The last Gym Leader in Johto, the last Badge
before you have full access to lv 100 Pok�mon, and so on. She is also one
of the only Gym Leaders that has a team change from GSC (Her third
Dragonair is replaced with a Gyarados). Because of that, she is not as weak
to Ice attacks like she once was, but now has a Pok�mon that is weak to
Electric and one that is weak to Dragon attacks. The first Pok�mon are her
two Dragonairs. They are both similar in level, and both have Dragon Pulse,
Thunder Wave, and Slam. The only difference is one has Fire Blast and the
other has Aqua Tail. Dragon Pulse is a very strong Dragon move with 90 base
damage. Thunder Wave Paralyzes your Pok�mon, and Fire Blast and Aqua Tail
are both very strong Fire and Water attacks respectively. Ice attacks are
your best friend in this battle, since it is the only thing the two
Dragonair are weak to. A Ice Pok�mon caught from the Ice Path or the TM you
got from Pryce are both good to use against them. Next up is old favorite
Gyarados. It has Dragon Rage, Twister, Bite, and Dragon Pulse. Dragon Rage
always takes off 40HP every time it is used, no more or no less. Twister is
a somewhat weak dragon type move, but does more if the Pok�mon is using Fly
or Bounce. Gyarados is 4x weak to electric attacks, so Thunderbolt or
Thunder are both very good moves to use. Finally, there is Kingdra. It is
her highest level Pok�mon at lv 41 and is holding a Sitrus Berry. As for
attacks, it knows Hydro Pump, Dragon Pulse, Hyper Beam, and Smokescreen.
Kingdra is a tough Pok�mon to beat since its only weakness is Dragon
attacks. If you bought a Dratini earlier from the Goldenrod Game Corner and
it knows Dragon attacks, use those. Otherwise, use your strongest Pok�mon
against it. Once you beat Clair, she will not believe that you have proved
yourself and she will tell you to go to the Dragon's Den and prove
yourself. Surf behind the Gym and go north until you find the entrance.
Defeat the trainers there... You will need a Pok�mon with Whirlpool and
Surf to get to where you need to go. Also, if you want a special Pok�mon,
you will need to have an empty slot in your party. Head on the left side,
use whirlpool, and then keep following the path until you find the Dragon
Shrine. Inside, talk to the dragon master and choose the following answers:
Question #1: What are Pok�mon to you?
Answer: Ally
Question #2: What helps win battles?
Answer: Strategy
Question #3: What kind of Trainer do you wish to battle?
Answer: Anyone
Question #4: What is most important in raising Pok�mon?
Answer: Love
Question #5: Strong Pok�mon. Weak Pok�mon. Which is more important?
Anser: Both
Once you answer right, Clair will come in and think you failed the test,
mentioning that not even she has past it. After that, she will give you the
Rising Badge. This does several things, all Pok�mon received in trades will
now obay and you can use the HM move Waterfall outside of battle. Head back
the way you came, and Clair will then give you TM59 as well, which contains
Dragon Pulse.
===============================
= Gym Leaders (Kanto) - GLK00 ===============================================
===============================
Here are the gym leaders of the Kanto region and what Pok�mon they use and
how to defeat each of them in a pinch.
Pewter City Gym - GLK01
-----------------------
Leader: Brock
Pok�mon Type: Rock
Pok�mon: Graveler Level: 51
Rhyhorn Level: 51
Omastar Level: 53
Onix Level: 54
Kabutops Level: 52
Badge: Boulder Badge
Description: No description available
How to defeat Brock:
Brock has not changed much since his GSC days, although his Pok�mon are
about 7-10 levels higher then they were previously. One advantage that you
have is that all of his Pok�mon are 4x weak against Grass Pok�mon, so
people with a Meganium or a equally strong Grass type will do just fine.
Also, Sunny Day + Solarbeam will pretty much wipe Brock out very quickly.
First is Gravler, which has Earthquake, Defense Curl, Rock Slide, and
Rollout. You have seen this all before, so there is nothing new. Grass and
water types work well here, so use Surf or Solarbeam. Second is Rhyhorn,
which has Earthquake, Scary Face, Sandstorm, and Horn Drill. Scary Face
lowers your speed twice, and Horn Drill has a 30% Chance of knocking you
out if it hits, but it happens so rarely and has such low PP that it is
very rare. Make sure you bring along a revive or two just in case, though.
Rhyhorn is the same as Gravler and goes down quickly to Grass and Water
attacks. Omastar his is third and his first dual-water type Pok�mon. It has
Spike Cannon, AncientPower, Brine, and Protect. Spike Cannon is a move
similar to ones like DoubleSlap and such. Brine does damage based on what
your HP is. When your HP is above 50%, its base power is only 65. However,
once it goes below 50%, it will double and be 130. Make sure your HP does
not fall below 50% when battling Omastar if you can help it. Protect
prevents any damage for that turn, but decreases in accuracy if used again
right after. Omastar is 4x weak to Grass, and 2x weak to Fighting, Ground,
and Electric attacks. Next up is his trademark Onix, which has Rock Slide,
Iron Tail, Sandstorm, and Screech. Once again, nothing that you cannot
handle on your own. Use either Grass or Water attacks on it. Finally, there
is Kabutops, which has Rock Slide, Aqua Jet, Endure, and Giga Drain. Aqua
Jet is like a water version of Quick Attack, so it will go first no matter
what your speed is. Endure allows it to survive a attack that it wound
normally faint against, but like Protect will fail the more it is used.
Like Omastar, Grass is the most effective against it overall. Once you
defeat Brock, he will reward you with the Boulder Badge and TM80 [Rock
Slide].
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cerulean City Gym - GLK02
-------------------------
Leader: Misty
Pok�mon type: Water
Pok�mon: Golduck Level: 49
Quagsire Level: 49
Lapras Level: 52
Starmie Level: 54
Badge: Cascade Badge
Description: No description available.
How to defeat Misty:
Misty has changed quite a bit since she first appeared as a kid in FRLG,
now looking more like a teenage girl. Besides Golduck, each of Misty's
Pok�mon have a secondary type that you can fight against. She is about 5
levels higher then she was in GSC, so make sure you have raised your team
enough. First up is Golduck with Water Pulse, Disable, and Psychic. Water
Pulse is Misty's signature move which has a 20% chance of confusing your
Pok�mon, and Disable makes it where you cannot use your last move for
several turns. Golduck is the only pure water Pok�mon, so Grass and
Electric attacks are all good. Her second Pok�mon is Quagsire, which has
Water Pulse, Amnesia, Rain Dance, and Earthquake. Rain Dance will cause its
Water Pulse to become stronger, while Amnesia greatly increases the Special
Defense of the user. Electric attacks will not work on it, so Grass attacks
are the best way to go. Third is Lapras, which has Ice Beam, Sing, Water
Pulse, and Body Slam. Body Slam has a 30% chance of paralyzing you, while
Sing will put you to sleep. If you are already paralyzed, it will not work.
Fighting, Rock, Grass, and Electric moves are all very powerful and will do
2x damage. Finally, there is Starmie, which has a Sitrus Berry for when its
HP gets low and has Water Pulse, Confuse Ray, Ice Beam, and Recover.
Recover can be tricky, since it restores 1/2 of the users HP. Starmie has a
number of weaknesses, including Bug, Ghost, Grass, Electric and dark
attacks. Once you have defeated Misty, she will reward you with the Cascade
Badge and TM03 [Water Pulse].
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vermilion City Gym - GLK03
--------------------------
Leader: Lt.Surge
Pok�mon type: Electric
Pok�mon: Raichu Level: 51
Electrode Level: 47
Electrode Level: 47
Magneton Level: 47
Electabuzz Level: 53
Badge: Thunder Badge
Description: No description available.
How to defeat Lt.Surge:
All of his Pok�mon share a common weakness: Ground. If you got a Golem,
Onix/Steelix, or a similar ground Pok�mon with Magnitude or Earthquake,
this will be a easy battle. Otherwise, make sure to bring your strongest
Pok�mon. His first Pok�mon is Raichu, which has Thunder Wave, Shock Wave,
Quick Attack, and Double Team. One common trend you will find with most of
Surge's Pok�mon is most of them will have Shock Wave (A move that does not
miss) and Double Team (A move that makes it hard for you to hit his
Pok�mon. Thunder Wave is a nasty move that paralyzes you, so be careful of
that. Like I said earlier, a ground Pok�mon will be immune to all besides
Quick Attack, so use that. Next up is the two Electrode he has. Both have
Double Team, but one has Thunder Wave, Shock Wave, and Light Screen, while
the other has Screech, SelfDestruct, and Charge Beam. Light Screen is a
move that halves Special Attack moves, Screech lowers your defense two
levels, Selfdestruct is a powerful Normal move that knocks out the user,
but does a ton of damage to your Pok�mon, and Charge Beam is a somewhat
weak Electric move, but has a very high chance of increasing the users
Special stat, making the move do more damage. Ground, once again, is the
way to go, since all of their attacks outside of Selfdestruct are Electric
moves. Third is Magneton, which has Supersonic, Double Team, Shock Wave,
and Mirror Shot. Supersonic has a chance of confusing you, and Mirror shot
is a average damaging steel type attack that also has a 30% chance of
lowering your accuracy. Magneton is the only dual type Pok�mon on his team,
so Fire attacks will work on it. Finally, there is his Electabuzz, which
has Quick Attack, Shock Wave, Light Screen, and Low Kick. Low Kick does
damage based on the weight of the Pok�mon he uses it on. Lighter Pok�mon do
not take as much damage, while heavy Pok�mon take the most. Like all the
other Pok�mon on Surge's team, Ground will work the best. Once you have
defeated Lt.Surge, he will reward you with the Thunder Badge and with TM34
[Shock Wave].
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Celadon City Gym - GLK04
------------------------
Leader: Erika
Pok�mon type: Grass
Pok�mon: Jumpluff Level: 51
Tangela Level: 52
Victreebel Level: 56
Bellossom Level: 56
Badge: Rainbow Badge
Description: No description available.
How to defeat Erika:
Erika has not changed much since FR/LG or GSC, although her team is now
much stronger, on average being about 10 levels higher. Unlike the previous
two gym leaders, several of her Pok�mon have multiple types, with Jumpluff
having a flying type and Victreebel having a Poison type. She has multiple
weaknesses, with the most effective being ice, fire, flying, and Psychic
for Victreebel. Her first Pok�mon is Jumpluff, which has Leech Seed,
U-Turn, Giga Drain, and Sunny Day. Giga Drain is her staple attack, which
has a base of 60 damage and the Pok�mon using it recovers 1/2 of the damage
done to the other Pok�mon. U-Turn is the same move Bugsy uses, which
damages the Pok�mon and then switches out to another one. Leech Seed slowly
saps your energy at the end of each turn and recovers some of Jumpluff's
HP. Finally, Sunny Day is a move that boosts Fire attacks, but also allows
the instant use of Solar Beam. Jumpluff is majorly weak to Ice attacks, so
use Ice Beam if you have it. Her second Pok�mon is Tangela, which knows
Ancientpower, Wring Out, Giga Drain, and Sleep Powder. Ancientpower is a
rock Move that has a small chance of boosting Tangela's stats up. Wring Out
is a normal type move that does more damage depending on the users HP. It
is based on this: 120 x Your Current HP/Your Max HP. The lower your HP is,
the weaker the attack is. Sleep Powder does what is says: Puts you to
sleep. Next is Victreebel, which has Sunny Day, Grass Knot, Leaf Storm, and
Razor Leaf. Grass Knot is similar to Low Kick in that the higher the weight
of the Pok�mon, the more damage it does. Leaf Storm is like Overheat where
is has a very high base damage of 140, but lowers the users attack two
levels. Finally, Razor Leaf is a average grass attack with a higher crit
ratio. Victreebel is also weak to Psychic moves due to its Poison type, so
that might be a type to use. Her final Pok�mon is Bellossom, which has
Sunny Day, SolarBeam, Giga Drain, and Synthesis. If she uses Sunny Day
before using Solar Beam, then it will not require any charging up.
Synthesis is also affected by Sunny Day, since it will recover 2/3s of its
HP when it is in effect. The best Pok�mon to use during this battle is fire
Pok�mon, since Sunny Day benefits them most of the time more then Erika's
own Pok�mon. Fire Blast and Flamethrower are both good ones to use, as well
as Ice Beam and Blizzard. Once you have defeated Erika, she will reward
you with the Rainbow badge and with TM19 [Giga Drain].
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saffron City Gym - GLK05 10:13 AM 10/02/2013
------------------------
Leader: Sabrina
Pok�mon type: Psychic
Pok�mon: Espeon Level: 53
Mr. Mime Level: 53
Alakazam Level: 55
Badge: Marsh Badge
Description: No description available.
How to defeat Sabrina:
First up is Espeon, which has Calm Mind, Shadow Ball, Psychic, and Skill
Swap. All three of Sabrina's Pok�mon have Skill Swap and it is her
signature move for HG/SS. Skill Swap changes abilities with your Pok�mon,
so be careful of using a Pok�mon that might have a really good ability.
Calm Mind increases Espeon's Special Attack and Defense each turn, making
it more powerful and harder to hit. Psychic and Shadow Ball are both a very
powerful Psychic and Ghost move in that order. Next up is Mr. Mime, which
has Mimic, Light Screen, Psychic, and Skill Swap. Light Screen halves the
damage of Special attacks, while Mimic copies your last move. Its only
attack outside of Mimic is Psychic, so dark users will have resistance.
Finally, there is Sabrina's Alakazam, which has Psychic, Skill Swap,
Reflect, and Energy Ball. Reflect halves the damage of physical attacks,
while Energy Ball is a powerful Grass type move that has a 10% chance of
lowering your Special Defense. Once you have defeated Sabrina, she will
reward you with the Marsh Badge and with TM48 [Skill Swap].
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuchsia City Gym - GLK06
------------------------
Leader: Janine
Pok�mon type: Poison
Pok�mon: Crobat Level: 47
Weezing Level: 44
Ariados Level: 47
Ariados Level: 47
Venomoth Level: 50
Badge: Soul Badge
Decsription: No description available.
How to defeat :
Her first Pok�mon is Crobat, which has Confuse Ray, Screech, Wing Attack,
and Supersonic. Screech lowers your defense two levels, and Supersonic and
Confuse Ray have a chance of causing confusion. Ice, Electric, Rock, and
Psychic attacks are all effective here. Second up is Weezing, which has
Toxic, Explosion, Sludge Bomb, and Double Hit. Sludge Bomb is a special
poison move which has a 30% chance of poisoning the target, and explosion
is a very powerful move that causes Weezing to faint, but does a lot of
damage to your Pok�mon. Weezing is the only pure Poison type on her team,
so you can really only use Psychic against it to get a super effective hit,
since Weezing has levitate and cannot be affected by ground type moves. Her
third and fourth Pok�mon are Ariados, both being the same level but having
two different moves. Both have Poison Jab and Pin Missile, while one has
Swagger and Night Shade and the other having Psychic and screech. Swagger
increases your attack two levels, but causes you to become confused, while
Night Shade does damage based on your current level, so if you are lv 50
you will take 50 damage. Psychic, Ground, Fire, and Flying are all
effective. Her final Pok�mon is Venomoth, which has Double Team, Psychic,
Sludge Bomb, and Signal Beam ans has a Sitrus Berry for when its HP gets
low. Double Team increases its evasiveness, which allows it to dodge your
attacks the more it uses it, and Signal Beam is a bug type move that has a
10% chance of causing confusion. Like Ariados, it is weak to Flying, Fire,
and Psychic attacks. Once you have defeated Janine, daughter of Koga, she
will reward you with the Soul Badge and with TM84 [Poison Jab].

Seafoam Island Gym - GLK07
---------------------------
Leader: Blaine
Pok�mon type: Fire
Pok�mon: Magcargo Level: 54
Magmar Level: 54
Rapidash Level: 59
Badge: Volcano Badge
Description: No description available.
How to defeat Blaine:
Blaine's first Pok�mon is Magcargo, which has Overheat, Sunny Day, Smog,
and Rock Slide. Overheat is a powerful Fire move that has a base damage of
140, but lowers the user's Special Attack two levels. Because it is holding
a White Herb, it will use it up when Overheat is used. Sunny Day increases
the strength of Fire moves, and for Magcargo that would be Overheat. Smog
is a Poison move that has low power and is slightly inaccurate, but has a
high 40% chance of poisoning your Pok�mon. His second Pok�mon is Magmar,
which has ThunderPunch, Confuse Ray, Overheat, and Sunny Day. Like the
other two, it does have a White Herb attached to it, so it will not have
its status go down when it is used. ThunderPunch makes it hard for Water
Pok�mon to stay alive, so use a ground type if you have one. Finally,
there is Rapidash, which as Quick Attack, Bounce, Overheat, and Flare
Blitz. Flare Blitz is a powerful 120 base attack move that does 1/3 recoil
damage to Rapidash, but also has a 10% chance of burning your Pok�mon.
Bounce is a similar move to Fly which has the user going up in the air on
the first turn, and attacking on the second. It has a base power of 85,
but also is slightly inaccurate with only a 85% accuracy. However, it also
has a 30% chance of paralyzing your Pok�mon. Once you have defeated Blaine,
he will reward you with the Volcano Badge and with TM50 [Overheat]

Veridian City Gym - GLK08
-------------------------
Leader: Blue
Pok�mon type: Miscellaneous
Pok�mon: Pidgeot Level: 60
Rhydon Level: 58
Machamp Level: 56
Gyarados Level: 52
Exeggutor Level: 55
Arcanine Level: 58
Badge: Earth Badge
Description: No description available.
How to defeat Blue:
As far as his Pok�mon goes, his Pidgeot has Whirlwind, Mirror Move, Return,
and Air Slash. Mirror Move is a interesting flying type move that copies
your last move if you made one, and fails if you did not. Return is a
normal move that does damage based on how your Pok�mon like you, and on a
trainer like Blue it does a lot of damage if you are not careful. Finally,
Whirlwind is a rather nasty move that causes your current Pok�mon to be
switched out for another one. Ice and Electric moves are recommended here.
Rhydon has Earthquake, Stone Edge, Megahorn, and Thunder Fang. Stone Edge
is a move that has 100 base damage and has a higher chance of striking a
Critical Hit, but is only 80% accurate. Megahorn is a powerful Bug type
move that has a base damage of 120, but has a low accuracy of 85%. Be
careful when using a water Pok�mon against Rhydon because of its Thunder
Fang, but if you can use Water and Grass attacks. Machamp, one of the few
new Pok�mon for a gym leader, has DynamicPunch, ThunderPunch, Stone Edge,
and Earthquake. Dynamic Punch is a very low accuracy move (only a 50%
chance of it hitting), but has 100 base power and will always confuse you
when it hits. Flying and Psychic moves work best against Machamp here.
Gyarados has been greatly underleveled from GSC, and has Waterfall, Ice
Fang, Dragon Dance, and Return. Waterfall has a base damage of 80 and has
a 20% chance of causing you to Flinch. Dragon Dance increases Gyarados's
Speed and Attack up one level when it is used, so be careful and knock it
out quickly if it starts using it a lot. Electric works best here, since it
is 4x effective against Gyarados. Exeggutor has Psychic, Hypnosis, Leaf
Storm, and Trick Room. Leaf Storm is similar to Overheat in that it lowers
Exeggutor's Special Attack two levels when it is used. Trick Room is a
weird move that causes the Pok�mon with the lower speed rating to go first,
which works in Exeggutor's favor due to its crappy 55 base speed rating.
The only way to counter this is to have a even slower Pok�mon, although
that would be hard to come by. Dark, Flying, Bug, and Ice moves all work
well on Exeggutor. Finally there is Arcanine, which has ExtremeSpeed,
Flare Blitz, Dragon Pulse, and Roar. ExtremeSpeed is a powerful and
accurate move with 80 base damage and allows the user to go first. Dragon
Pulse is a very accurate Dragon move with a 90 base damage. Finally, Roar
is similar to Whirlwind where it will cause another Pok�mon to be brought
out. Once you have defeated Blue, he will reward you with the Earth Badge
and with TM92 [Trick Room].
