I've battled Kanto gym leaders an innumerable amount of times in my life time. Sabrina is no exception. After purging Lt. Surge with an army of under-leveled water-types, I thought it'd be cool to try and conquer the rest of the Gym Leaders with some enjoyable strategies or pokemon. I plan on taking Sabrina next, so I made some... interesting restrictions.

• no pokemon over level 20, nothin' bred
  • ie. no super IV whatever things lol
• no healing items whatosever (as I've done all game)
• no, offensively speaking, type-advantageous pokemon
  • ie. no bug, ghost, or dark-types

Taking care of Espeon
33 levels higher than my leading Wobbuffet, aka Back Bite. Here's the trick if you don't see it already: Focus Sash Mirror Coat. Thanks to the low level, the AI is baited into smashing such a pathetic pokemon, psychic brings me to 1 HP, and Mirror Coat destroys Espeon in one quick turn. XD KO'd

Ladies lights out.
Mrs. (Big Lips) Wobbuffet's turn. Energy ball gets me to 1 HP thanks to the Focus Sash, and I OHKO'd with Mirror Coat. KO'd


MIME MIME MIME MIIIIIME
Slowpoke enters the battle. Psychic gets me down to 1 HP, I yawn. (lol lv. 6), Psychic KOs Slowpoke and Mime falls asleep. Time for the boom brothers: Weezing, aka Pollution starts off. Choice band selfdestruct takes Mime to about 50%, next up Golem. If Mime wakes up, I lose, and I might not finish it off with this blast, but here goes nothing. Choice Band Selfdestruct... and... and... I WIN

• final notes
  • 20, 6, 20, 20, 6, 20 > 53, 53, 55
  • You can find Wobby in dark cave, if you're curious.
  • How'd I get a lv. 20 Golem? Safari zone Graveler @ lv. 17, trade, learn selfdestruct, there you go.
  • Weezing's the same way, Safari Zone.
  • Slowpoke was brilliant.
  • slaughtered all her gym trainers with a murkrow first, obviously that team couldn't handle all of them haha
  • GOGOGO SLOWPOKE.
  • And no, I didn't beat her first try either. I had a Quick Attack Pidgey > Mrs. Lips (for an Endeavor Kurn + Quick Attack Pidgey), but when I tried that strategy, she kept spamming items like no tomorrow. (oh so cheap) So I grabbed my second wobby to shut her up. XD;

MAN THAT WAS FUN.
