Rai-chan August 30th, 2009 2:39 PM

The hardest for me was Clair. But that was probobly because crystal was my first ever pokemon game and I had no idea what I was doing

Gregora August 30th, 2009 8:06 PM

During this playthrough of crystal: none. I've OHKOed most of the Gym Leaders' pokemon so far. Falkner with Rocky (onix trade), Bugsy with Cyndaquil/Quilava, OHKOed Witney with the in-game trade of Machop, Morty died by Eevee, Jasmine and Pryce with my Quilava, Chuck with Kadabra... this game isn't challenging at all. I think the most challenging about this is catching Suicune. >_<

Ohhh.... I think Whitney too ! But also Morty ! I remember : That was the match my Togepi evolved ! I remember he also use used hyper beam during battle ( F**K ghost TYPEES ) cus of Metronome ! I was underleveled too ...

Kanto_Johto September 2nd, 2009 4:23 AM

Morty. Hypnosis + Dream Eater = ****ING GRRRRRRRRR *Destroys Gameboy*.

s0nido September 2nd, 2009 11:17 PM

God, Whitney was hard. See, she had normal-type Pokemon with crazy defences and I couldn't beat her easily. Gahh :(

Velvex the Øverlørd September 3rd, 2009 12:03 AM

I accidently put Claire, but I meant Whitney. I remember when I was younger, her Miltank was literally a tank, It took so long for me to beat it.

Piplup-Trainer September 3rd, 2009 2:54 AM

Whitneys Miltank was on Lv.20, right?
I guess that pokemon was hard to beat, but I can't remember that so well...

Anyways, the Johto Gym Leaders were a little bit weak...
I mean...Claires strongest Pokemon was a Kingdra on Lv.40...
Even Giovanni had a stronger Pokemon in Red/Blue. It was a Rhydon on Lv.50.
I hope that the Gym Leaders in HG/SS will have stronger Pokemon...

There is a thread about this. Me, and a few other people, have commented that ALL the trainers should have stronger Pokemon.

TheUltimat September 3rd, 2009 8:04 AM

For me it was Whitney. When ever I got her Miltank down in to the red, it used that stupid milk attack thing. :|

masterhacker445 September 3rd, 2009 8:08 AM

Since, Whitney, I have never allowed a miltank in my hacks to be caught in the wild, stupid cows -.-

evilmagikarp94 September 6th, 2009 3:36 AM

Definitely Whitney, her Milktank would destroy my team using rollout

SPEEDIE September 6th, 2009 3:39 AM

bugsy my croconow was never strong enough to beat him

MEGAS September 6th, 2009 3:45 AM

Whitney is a hardest due to her Miltank that has milk drink and high defence XD

Lycaeus September 7th, 2009 9:24 AM

WHITNEY! She is evil I tell you, EVIL!!!

Gosh, it took me like five tries to beat her.

TundraCanine September 7th, 2009 10:45 AM

Definatly Morty. I hate how he over uses Hypnosis and Dream Eater. -_-

DrFuji September 8th, 2009 3:29 PM

Whitney, closely folled up by Clair.

Clair's Kingdra is a beast, while Whitney's Milktank is simply the spawn of the Devil.

Joey_951 October 7th, 2009 8:33 PM

it was claire i chose cindaquil she kept using thunder wave and whitney on hg she kept using rollout and milk drink and atract she was annoying

Fire Wolf October 7th, 2009 8:56 PM

Whitney was tougher than Clair. Clair was beaten in 1'st attempt while Whitney took 17 attempts. And, one thing is common between them. That just after their loss they don't give badges straightaway..

Polizard October 8th, 2009 12:33 AM

Whitney was hard for me when i was lil now she was easy as because i just beat her with my flaffy and quillava Thunder wave flame wheel

[email protected] [email protected] October 9th, 2009 2:34 AM

claire was pretty tough for me

she kept on using her Kingdra's surf on me, especially on my Typhlosion

and using thunder wave as well, I had alot of attempts b4 I could beat her by luck

Zeffy October 9th, 2009 3:43 AM

Surprisingly, Whitneys Rolltank is easy for me. It maybe for the fact that all of my Pokemon are females except my starter. I don't really mind the genders anyway.
Hardest for me would be Chuck, almost all of my Pokemon were normal so I had no chance. I tried 6 times to defeat him. Next in-line would be Jasmine.

mondays suck October 9th, 2009 7:54 AM

1 - Whitney, i think there's no need to explain why
2 - Morty, the Dream Eater Gengar is extremely annoying, so there are often a couple of awakenings needed to beat him.
3 - Clair, the Dragonairs can attack pretty much everything super-effective and that Kingdra is pretty bulky.
4 - Jasmine, even with Fire or Water-types in the team, she can cause serious trouble
5 - Chuck, Poliwrath can be quite annoying, but compared to Gengar it's pretty slow, and it always needs 2 turns to attack
6 - Bugsy, if Scyther doesnt die fast, Fury Cutter can get really powerful.
7 - Falkner, Mud Slap can be almost as annoying as Double Team
8 - Pryce, he's just weak, lol

Pikachu™ October 9th, 2009 12:43 PM

I think its safe to say that Whitney, was biggest pain in the bum.

GengarNightmare October 9th, 2009 1:03 PM

Look, Whitney gave me problems, too, but Clair's pokemon are only weak to Dragon types (which you can't get until you beat her, hmmmm....)

And the Kingdra was a beast.

Tori October 9th, 2009 3:54 PM

mine was clair because i had absolutely NO ice types. XD

PKFL_531 October 9th, 2009 7:56 PM

Chuck and his gosh darn Poliwrath destroyed my two strongest pokemon; Poliwrath and Typhlosion! They were like living heck!

Blaziquaza October 9th, 2009 9:16 PM

****ing Whitney and her ****ing Miltank.I ****ing hated it.Took me 20 times because I chose Cyndaquil.>:(

Sasuke. October 9th, 2009 10:48 PM

At least I wasn't the only one that found Whitney hard.

pokehearts August 9th, 2010 10:11 AM

Whitney's FRIGGEN Miltank on Soulsilver it took me FOREVER to beat her she kept using attract and spammed stomp. CURSE YOU WHITNEY THE GYM LEADER!!! but in second would be Pryce. His seel just spammed rest and snore but after seel it was a peice o cake. and clair would be in third her dragonair kept paralyzing my feraliatr so ya. :( say no to hard gym leaders. Whitney sucks!!!

Emlam August 9th, 2010 12:57 PM

Falkner because all of my Pokemon were weak. :P Stupid pidgeys and their mud ... Onix's Bind kept missing. Oy.

I used Whitney's Pokemon to bring up my Togepi's happiness. Haunter put them to sleep, Togepi either Metronomed them out or sat around and twiddled its stubby little thumbs while they fainted from Haunter's Curse.

I missed the Fighting gym entirely and had to go back - the only Flying type I had on me was a low-level Shiny Noctowl so I cut it pretty close on that one.

I don't remember much about the others. I started with Cyndaquil so the Bug, Steel and Ice gyms weren't eventful. Morty was annoying until his stupid ghosts Cursed all their HP away and Quick Claw Quagsire finished it from there.

Emlam August 9th, 2010 7:31 PM

My problem in Silver was probably using only Pokemon I liked. I just could not bring myself to train up that Machop, though it would've been SO much easier than constantly hypnotizing and switching out with Haunter. :P

Misty was absolutely the most difficult for me in R/Y though, every time. Those Pokemon are a crazy power jump compared with Brock and subsequent trainers. I never started with Bulbasaur so I had to either use Pikachu (which in its extreme weakness invariably got KOed by Starmie no matter how high I leveled the little rat) or Gloom (whose big grass attack is ... Absorb -_- ) to have any type advantage. Eventually I just gave up and used Fearow or something.

RubyHacker August 10th, 2010 4:20 AM

Mine was Jasmine,i didn't have know how to beat her Steelix,i had a lvl 28 Pidgeotto,lvl 22 Quilava and a lvl 23 Tauros.After I got pwned like 3 times,i trainer my Quilava to 34,then i beat all 3 Pokemon of her with Flame Wheel.

Sapeiro August 17th, 2010 12:25 PM

Jasmine and those Thunderbolting Magnemites of DOOM! Don't get me started on them >_>

God, I hated them... I still do, but know I'm pretty knowledgeable about the steel type, and that stuff xD

Darkfire_Danny August 18th, 2010 4:48 AM

I actually have never had a problem with Whitney really, Mud-Slap cripples Miltank and so do status problems. Jasmine was probably the toughest due to Steelix taking forever to kill if you don't have a strong Fire/Water type most attacks bounce off it. If I find myself in that situation, I resort to trusty Mud-Slap again, 6 times, so Iron Tail has a tiny chance of hitting :P Then slowly kill it off :) .

Blastin'Tyruntz August 24th, 2010 10:54 AM

mine is clair that ****ing ***** showd her power but in the 6 time i beated her with my typlosion

this rolout isnt that hard guys....you just weak newbies

th freaky miltank i will kill her with a shotgun when i see it!
(my brother restarted the game)

xPsychosocial August 24th, 2010 11:09 AM

Whitney and her Miltank. I don't think I need to say any more. =|

You don't know the half of it.

MushroomZOMBIE August 24th, 2010 3:10 PM

In order:
1) Whitney
2) Jasmine
3) Clair

Thing is they are ALL female!! lol
I like how they made the female Gym Leaders strong :D

My issue is...
When I chose Chikorita,
Falkner's Pidgeotto would rape my Chikorita with Gust and Bugsy's Scyther was slicing her with Fury Cutter D: But I had no problem with Whitney :D Morty's Gengar used Hypnosis and Dream Eater frequently therefore I always ready for some Awakening... A-ok with Chuck, Jasmine and Pryce, Clair's Kingdra was a Hyper Beam freak moreover those Dragonair just loved inflicting status!!!!! :S

When Cyndaquil's chosen, No prob. with Falkner and Bugsy... And Whitney that ruthless hag and her Miltank just loved to crash my every single Pokemon with that d**n Rollout, she didn't even showed mercy to my Togepi. :'( Morty's treatment to my Pokemon were just like I stated from the above--Hypnosis and Dream Eater... Chuck's Poliwrath really enjoyed his Lock-on, Dynamic Punch combo to my Pokemon and he drowned my Quilava with Surf :'( Fortunately things are easier at Pryce's Gym... and Clair, again with her crazy moves...

I have to say Totodile is the starter, Falkner was a goner :) I had no real problems from Bugsy, though he nearly won with Fury Cutter... Whitney's Milktank used Attract this time, just when I thought I'm gonna lose Croconaw manage to deliver the final blow :D Morty had a hard time on playing ppek-a-boo with my Croconaw's Dig!! :D Chuck, Jasmine and Pryce were not a problem... And finally Clair and her Pokemon were punched by my Feraligatr's Ice Punch. :)

FlameDancer August 26th, 2010 2:29 PM

Whitney was pretty hard to beat. Even used a lot of potions just to beat her. >_>

Noka August 28th, 2010 3:52 PM

Strangely, I didn't have that much trouble with Whitney; no...the one who gave my the most trouble was Falkner. He kept fainting my Chikorita over and over until I decided enough was enough. Geodude taught him a lesson.

Kanto_Johto August 29th, 2010 4:45 AM

The 2 people that voted Bugsy must be trolling. I've never had to use more than one Pokemon on her him.

cocowainfeld September 1st, 2010 2:44 PM

Whitney of course, damn rollout

ChrisTom September 1st, 2010 7:32 PM

Hmm....

Well if you prepare for Whitney and have played the game before she isn't that hard. But assuming you have played the game for the first time and have unprepared, she can be the hardest. Usually it's Clair for me. But that's just me. It all depends on what you pick for your team.

Bear September 5th, 2010 3:22 AM

Jasmine, given you didn't have Croconaw. And even then you'd have to steer clear of those Magnemites.

Weavile05 September 5th, 2010 11:12 AM

Jasmine, on my normal Monotype run. Chuck was hard as heck too, but Jasmine was the Devil...

Shiro September 5th, 2010 2:16 PM

I got stuck on Morty and Whitney more than just a few times. ;n; Can't remember exactly what it was that killed me with Morty, but Whitney was a pain for ... well, obvious reasons. Stupid Miltank and stupid Rollout and stupid me being too lazy to grind. ;nnnn;

jujuju September 5th, 2010 9:17 PM

From hardest to easiest
1. Whitney
2. Claire
3. Morty
4. Chuck
5. Jasmine
6. Pryce
7. Bugsy
8. Falkner

Ficher September 7th, 2010 2:35 AM

Whitney and her fat pink cow. It took me hours to beat her, and Miltank did not make it any easier. I then caught Nidoran or something and made it evolve and taught it Double Kick, and kicked that cow's ass.

ChaoticArchon September 14th, 2010 3:24 PM

I don't see how Whitney is that difficult. People have been telling me for years that her Miltank made them cry out in pain. I've beaten that cow on the first time, almost every time with a bunch of different Pokemon: Slowpoke, Bayleef, Geodude, Onix, Sandshrew, Croconaw, Machop, Fearow, and even a Kadabra.

dragons September 17th, 2010 2:36 AM

i think bryce was quite hard i failed twice lol

Hiyappu_Storm September 19th, 2010 4:30 AM

Mine was Claire because back then I used to load my Tyranitar with fire type moves, making it incredibly hard to defeat her Kingdra.

moon September 20th, 2010 12:54 AM

I don't rememebr what I answered here last time, but the hardest gym leader by far is Bugsy. Omfg. Even if you have Cyndaquil/Quilava, that Scyther's Fury Cutter is EVIL.

Purple Materia September 24th, 2010 10:48 PM

When it comes to Johto, they all went down easily. Except for Whitney. She was too hard. Took me a couple tries.

In Kanto, Blue is the hardest gym leader. The rest of them are pushovers compared to him.

Sydian September 25th, 2010 6:39 AM

Wow, um. :( Revived thread is revived...for quite a while. lol
