Hardest RSE Gym Leader
 
Tate & Liza were the hardest for me.

Kimicatdemon January 17th, 2010 5:57 PM

The hardest one for me was Norman. I used Hariyama and I still got my rear end handed to me over and over....

and when I finally beat him, It was like...BORDERLINE....

I saved as soon as I got control of everything again....

Leader Soulja Boy January 17th, 2010 6:02 PM

Had trouble with Norman and the twins the others weren't all that bad.

mew² January 17th, 2010 6:37 PM

Freakin Juan. o_o
He even put my Shedninja into shock

Teh Blazer January 17th, 2010 6:41 PM

Norman for sure. His Slaking's stats are equal to Groundon's and Kyogre's. Dude's seriously crazy.

Caelus January 17th, 2010 6:47 PM

Normally the hardest Gym Leader would be Brawly, but on my first attempt in Emerald it took many, many tries to beat Tate & Liza.

Brawly's Makuhita is a pain, but I gain experience from the others, so it gets easier the more I battle Brawly. I had a type disadvantage with the twins, so that's why I struggled with them; later battles were with Pokemon whose types had the upper hand.

So it's generally Brawly/

Norman was easy but the hardest had to be liza and tate.

Hatenko January 17th, 2010 7:29 PM

Norman's Slaking was really annoying and Wallace (YES, WALLACE) was a jerk.

alisaie January 17th, 2010 7:41 PM

Ruby and Sapphire: Norman. ;o; Stupid Dad, why can't you be easier.
Emerald: Juan and his stupid Kingdra. :(

Xebelleon January 17th, 2010 7:48 PM

All in the Slaking...

Juan gave me minimal issues. Usually.
I have Endeavor on Swellow always (and Quick Attack). Sometimes on Swampert. So STAB Aerial Ace from Swellow or just a good old fashined Shadow Ball from Absol/Banette solved my later Juan problems.

Fire Blazer January 17th, 2010 9:08 PM

I had a hard time with Norman... it's like they made him hard because he's the player's father in the game. o_o I never thought that normal type pokemon could be such a pain...

Cirrus January 17th, 2010 9:13 PM

Slaking Facade makes me really, really angry.

Juan was trying to confuse me all the time with Water Pulse, but then I Sunnybeamed everything and won. -_-

BHwolfgang January 17th, 2010 11:58 PM

It was always either Juan or Wallace that urks me so. I was always at a type disadvantage for some reason (Blaziken, Torkoal, Golem, and a whimpy Linoon)

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty January 18th, 2010 1:42 AM

The first time I played Emerald, Norman, Wattson and the Psychic Twins o' Mossdeep kicked my butt from one end of the game to the other. The second time around, I had Combusken, Lairon and Mightyena, and they didn't stand a chance. And I had a Raichu on my team to help against Wallace during the E4. :>

The Psychic Twins are still the most annoying to me, though. :x I hate Claydols now. XD

mondays suck January 18th, 2010 5:29 AM

Wattson definetely takes this cake, I can't describe how much I hate battling him.
Norman is actually not that hard, a Pokemon with Dig or Protect can easily beat his Slakings, end the Vigoroth is not that strong.
The twins... In RS they're a joke, while they're quite challenging in Emerald. But 3 of their 4 Pokemon are weak to Water, which means Surf, so where's the problem?

Medli January 18th, 2010 9:37 AM

Norman always gave me trouble, even with a Combusken. Then again, I'm usually extremely underleveled for that fight. Freaking Slaking.

Wattson never gave me trouble because I always had a Combusken. Fire types win over Steel. Haha.

Kikaito plush January 18th, 2010 10:18 AM

The flying type of really kicked my backside again, forget what her name is though

thedestinedblade January 18th, 2010 10:46 AM

^Winona

Wattson would continuously own me mostly in part because I had nothing that was effective against his part steel team. (I hated Torchic. ;D)

TheAppleFreak January 18th, 2010 11:39 AM

Winona sucked because my Manetric was underleveled, I chose Treecko as my starter, and everything else was slower than her stuff. Her Altaria was especially annoying.

Enigma January 18th, 2010 4:49 PM

They were all pretty easy, IMO. Winona took me the longest to beat, however. ^_^;

GlitchCity January 18th, 2010 5:44 PM

tate and liza were challenging but they were fun to battle against

also norman, that was a good normal type gym leader, damn slaking.......

Sydian January 18th, 2010 6:15 PM

To be honest, I think RSE had the hardest gym leaders. My first playthrough of Sapphire, I don't recall ever beating a gym leader in one shot. The hardest for me are (in no order; they're all tied) Tate and Liza, Winona, and Brawly.

Ayselipera January 18th, 2010 7:40 PM

Honestly Wattson is the hardest gym leader. Even though I almost always have a Combusken with me I still find it extremely difficult to win. It's that Magneton of his. :'(

Kriptic January 18th, 2010 8:07 PM

Norman's never really been a problem for me because i always have a good fighting type (usually Machoke) on my team. But the most difficult has always been Winona with her annoying Altaria.

xxashxx January 18th, 2010 9:53 PM

Tate and Liza were hard for me because of the annoying Solrock and Lunatone they have and their gym is a bit confusing just getting to them. It took me nearly an hour on Emerald because Emerald was the only one I got of the R/S/E series. The switches were a bit annoying and you get lost after awhile.:)
