Hardest Gym Leader. o.0
You have got to hand the Most Unexpected Strategy Award to Tate and Liza,
they crushed me 58 times before I could defeat them. o.0 I shall list the Gym Leaders on Hardness Smilies. :dead: = Too hard for me to stand :confused: = Oh my, more than I expected! :) = Neuter :rambo: = Pretty easy for me. :laugh: = So easy, I died laughing! Now, here is the hardness of the gym leaders I battled: Roxanne: :dead: Brawly: :laugh: Wattson: :) Flannery: :rambo: Norman: :) Winona: :confused: Tate and Liza: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: Wallace: :rambo: That is how hard they were for me. |
lol norman used to give me problems - i hate training fighting types [other than Blaziken and Breelom]
until i found out about protect ^_^ |
well it depends on what starting Pokemon you chose... o.o or if you decide to train another Pokemon instead, it depends on that~ liza and tate are super easy if you chose treecko or mudkip or know another move strong against solrock and lunatune o_o I thought they were the easiest!
wallace was kind of hard though... |
I had the most trouble against the twins. That Solrock surprised me completely when I sent a water type out, and he charged up a Solarbeam... one round later and my Azumarill was down :-(. It didn't help the Lunatone used Cosmic Power so I couldn't take him down easy, and my Blaziken was useless against them. Yeah, if I'd had a Sceptile it would have been a little easier (apart from the Solrock's Flamethrower, of course, but Sceptile is usually faster anyway). Once one was down, the other was easy (I picked on the Solrock first to get rid of it's elemental attacks).
But yeah, they caused me the most trouble. The rest weren't so bad (although the One Hit KO room in Norman's Gym did give me a surprise). |
2 words always defeat a gym leader regardless of strategy or anything else:
HIGH LEVELs It's what makes Sceptile survive Overheat from Flannery's Slugma and all those other stuff. Tate and Liza went down in one round... the 2 floating stones are slow so how hard can it be to just OHKO them before they even start moving? |
Flannery. Don't ask me why though...
|
I thought Wattson was a pain, then I looked at Flannery... SHE ALMOST WIPED OUT MY LEVEL 29 CROBAT THEN!!! X_X
Stupid Overheat and Paralysis... Good thing my Crobat was a female. XD |
Norman.
I also hate the fact that gym leaders (and especially the E4) abuse hyper potions, full restores, etc. That's probably the most annoying thing. |

just knock them out before they can use items. They don't have revive ;p
they're programmed that they only use the potion whenever their Pokemon has only 1/3 or 1/4 of their life, similar to the time when a berry will be activated... that may help you to plan your move... the idea is still just to knock them out as soon as possible, before they even have a chance to use items. |
well yah, I normally try to do that just to end the battle as fast as possible, but it's in those cases where your attacks do little damage that it takes forever to get their HP down and then they go and use a Potion. x_x;; it's not like I try to take long in battles on purpose~ :p
|
if that happens, then it's probably a natural sign telling you that "it's time to train!" Don't have to EV train, just train normally. You should be scoring 2 hit knock outs (2HKO) on every computer opponent, with the exception to the first time fighting the elite 4 with Steven because your strong moves are all out of PP.
|
Norman was evil, but I beat him the second time around (Thanks to picking the most attractive Pokémon...not EV) ^_^>.
|
o.o; I train a lot already~ type weaknesses are mainly what set me back the most though, because even strong moves from high-leveled Pokemon can't do much against something that's strong against those attacks. o.O I know how to play Pokemon!
I battle every single trainer. you can't train much more than that. o_o; dude.. |
battle wild Pokemon? They do come in infinite amount O.o;
With the exception to Skarmory due to /4 resistance and metagross because well he's just too high on offensive power, all of Steven's Pokemon died in 2 leaf blades/HP Ice ;p (had to use leech seed as well for Skarmory and metagross). Normally 15 lvls above the opponent do the trick to the point that types don't really exist unless it's complete immunity. Your opponents have 0 EVs (not sure about elite 4) so their stats are pretty much rock bottom. Your stats will be higher even if you're on the same level, and your stats will be supreme if your levels are just that much higher. |
When I went to Norman, I had Swampert, Machoke, Swellow and Mightyena. Machoke went up first, Swampert handled the rest. The Moral of this Story is that Well-Trained Pokémon that You like, and not because of power and more because of appearance, Will always prevail... how is it that a Ninetales takes on a Gyarados and wins (Because It always works for me ^_^) ...(Well..I cheated, I used the Secret Vitamins and Hold Items to obtain Victory...)
As a quote from Jessie of Team Rocket "All's fair in love and war...and Pokémon Battles" |
that's because Gyarados within the game can't dragon dance up to use earhtquake ;p
|
I thoguht Tate and Liza were the hardest....I finally beat them after about 10 times fighting them....And Norman was another really hard one for me...maybe harder than tate
and liza |
I killed Tate and Liza with Swampert+Mightyena(Ninetales replaced my felled Mightyena)
Beauty > All ^_^... If you wanna be a winner you must deliver powerful attacks. |
Norman took me a while to beat so i go for him
|
The first gym leader Roxanne was hard for me... especially since I chose Torchic for my first pokemon. It being the first gym leader means you have less experience and attack choices so I had trouble. The Tate and Liza battle was kinda easy for me :cheeky: . I beat them in one go using less than 10 turns and only two pokemon :) .

Here is my review on all the pathetic gyms of Hoenn ^_^
Roxanne is an easy one, it just takes extra time with Torchic (evolve it to Combusken...not that hard.) Brawly is a loser, you don't even need a Flying or Pyschic Pokémon to take him out. Wattson is a little toughy. Well...no I lied ^_^, Unless you have Marshtomp or Combusken, you can obliterate his team. (Magnemites Fall with Combusken's Dual-Advantage) Flannery is so pretty I didn't even wanna beat her..oops. Simple, even with Grovyle (well...just don't use it in battle...find a diseased Sandshrew or other Pokémon and train it to capacity!) Norman is a little *****... Even with a fighting type, he can still be hard -__-;. You'll find a strategy eventually like me ^_^...really now.. Winona..Oh man how pathetic.. you might not want to use an Electric type when you go to battle her though. Use a Water-Type with an Ice-type attack, simple as pie ^_^. Tate and Liza..Dynamic *****es :0 I mean, Swampert/Blaziken with Mightyena/Other Darktype and follow that up with either: Ninetales/Raichu/Altaria It really gets the job done, no fuss no muss. Wallace is so sad he shouldnt even have a harem and or fan-club -_- the only thing hard about this gym is the little puzzle at the end. Other than that, use A GRASS TYPE and back it up with: Electric and Ice types...you will really love yourself if you do that, if you don't win by your third try...may god help you. Coming soon, Commentary on the Elite Four of Hoenn! |
Here is may hardness of gym leaders:
Roxanne: :laugh: Brawly: :) Wattson: :laugh: Flannery: :rambo: Norman: :dead: Winona: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: Tate and Liza: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: Wallace: :dead: :dead: :dead: |
Tate and Liza becuase I just didn't have any Pokemon that could withsatnd there Solrock and Lunatone's power. And the used so many potion when I finally did beat it it was just by luck becuase my pokemon had like 10 or 5 hp left.
|
Ok, I always thought Gym leaders were easy...
Roxanne: :laugh: Brawly: :laugh: Wattson: :laugh: Flannery: :laugh: Norman: :laugh: Winona: :laugh: Tate and Liza: :laugh: Wallace: :laugh: Maybe if you trained more instead of rushing through the game, you wouldn't have so much trouble. Or if you never ran from battle. Or if you caught more Pokémon and trained them all instead of just your starter. Just basics.... come on, it's not hard. |
