Well, Red wasn't as much trouble as I expected.

evil mence with my Dragonite (it used flamethrower?! lolhax) and I used my Choice Scarfed Feraligator with Ice Punch to tear down Garchomp and a Dragonite that outleveled my entire team by at least 9 levels. The rest came naturally. But the most annoying and difficult trainer is Koga (yes, on the Post-National Dex E4.) Toxic + Black Sludge + 4 Minimizes = a ridiculous Muk that you will learn to loathe as I have.

Omg I know, Lance is sooo much harder on the second run, took me so long to take down his Garchomp.

Hardest for me is definitely Red, faced him 4 times now, spent over 90,000 on revives and full restores and etc. to defeat him, still hasn't worked. :(

As of now, the trainer in Chuck's gym. His Hitmonchan kept on ko'ing every single pokemon

MissCongeniality March 26th, 2010 6:43 PM

It depended mostly, I was only defeated by Red once but I KO'ed his team in one shot the second time around.


KO'ed by most Gym Leaders, but I eventually beat them the second-fourth time around, Kanto however...I eliminated all of them in one shot. ^^

What levels are your pokemon for lance and for red? For me they weren't too hard. If you are having trouble finding a good way to level your team up, go here: http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/gym-rematch.shtml and reset the clock on your DS to the appropriet times and dates to get the phone numbers and time and dates to rematch the certain leader. Look around to find a leader that each individual Pokemon can defeat without any help (eg. Bellossom - Brock, Typhlosion - Erika, etc.) and they will rack in 11,000-15,000 experience (depending on the leader) each rematch. I got my whole team from level 61 to 70 in one day without spending all 24 hours playing.

jedisrule March 26th, 2010 7:37 PM

Oh omg didn't realize there was a specific time to find them, just thought they were their, that would explain it. And yah, I am kinda a 1-2 pokemon at a time focuser (I crazy build up only 1-2 for most of the game, so the rest are fairly weak until I start training them after I beat the pokemon league) so I have my highest as a level 74 and a 73, second highest is a lvl 44 (huge difference lol). Ty for the help though.

ComedyQuest March 27th, 2010 7:11 AM

Whitney and Red give me the most trouble. Fear the Miltank of doom... XD

Porygonz March 27th, 2010 7:11 AM

red was pretty tough. i just barely beat him

Kikaito plush March 27th, 2010 7:20 AM

Since I have only beaten whitany's gym in SS. it was my rival Silver after clearing slowpoke well..

ILoveDragonite March 28th, 2010 3:42 PM

I don't think i have had one i almost lost, i like to grind my pokemon to ridiculously high levels before i attack a leader.

I made a little rule for myself after i beat the gym my ace pokemon (Sunny/Dragonite) Has to be 10 levels higher than the last leaders ace.

And my back ups (Roller/Donphan,Ruby/Arcanine,Tidal, Feraligatr.) Have to be 5 levels higher than the last leaders ace.

Audaciity April 4th, 2010 8:37 PM

With regard to gym leaders, I had the most trouble with the Thunder leader; his Electrodes kept using horrible moves like Light Screen and Double Team.

Master Kavar April 4th, 2010 8:45 PM

I cant beleive i got stuck on cianwood city Gym leader Chuck but his poliwrath was SOOOO anoying i could not beat it

Ninja Caterpie April 4th, 2010 9:15 PM

The whole bloody Elite Four. >_> I'm grinding my Pokemon now.

Why did I have to use six Pokemon?!

DXrobots April 4th, 2010 9:19 PM

Bugy's scyther swept me a couple of times, and Chuck I felt was a challenge other then that I haven't had any trouble yet

Yusshin April 4th, 2010 9:21 PM

I haven't had any problems with trainers or leaders. I was always severely over-leveled, such as 45-47 with Claire for all six unevolved Pokemon, and even under the unevolved circumstance, I creamed everyone :s

I'm concerned for Kanto, though, since their levels do a 10-level jump. That's why I'm almost done grinding to 50 before doing the Elite Four, since their cap is 50, and it jumps to 55-65 in Kanto.

>Feelings< April 4th, 2010 11:21 PM

I am doing a starter solo run this game, which means I was planning not to use anything except my starter.
I don't use healing items or anything else to help either, so it's even more tougher than a solo run.

Since my starter was Cyndaquil, I had a lot of trouble with Chuck's Poliwrath.
But I had the most trouble with Clair, specially with her Kingdra who could ko my Typhlosion in one or two hits at max, specially since I wasn't using any item including healing items.
That was so annoying that I decided to finally use my Red Gyarados too alongside Typhlosion. Gyarados finished Kingdra for me with Dragon Rage, and Typhlosion did the rest with relative ease.

Ninja Caterpie April 5th, 2010 4:11 PM

WOW. I BEAT IT.

Who's saying Lance is tough? Three Dragonites makes him so easy. They're all weak to the same thing and they all have the same stats. =|

I took out his Gyarados with something, then I swept his whole team with a Dragon Dance Gyarados and Ice Fang + Waterfall.

Dr Glocktor April 5th, 2010 4:34 PM

Morty.

Oh sweet lord in Heaven, MORTY.

I had to retry 4 different times on him; all because his Gengars cheapassery wit Hypnosis and dream eater.

Muffin™ April 5th, 2010 5:27 PM

Lance.

'Nuff said.

Well of course I'm going to write 25 characters!

Drift_King1 April 5th, 2010 5:28 PM

Only Whitney's Miltank gave me a problem in this game.

Kirbychu April 5th, 2010 5:47 PM

It took me about 4 tries to beat Falkner. :/

The rest of the game was a breeze. I even beat Red with my team of mid 50s.

Forbidden1 April 5th, 2010 6:18 PM

the FIRST time against my rival, A**Head. lol. he had chikorita, and i had my lvl 7 tododile. IT KEPT USING GROWL. FFS~ i did like one damage with scratch and 3 with water gun. Zoh My GoodNezz

bobbob620 April 5th, 2010 6:38 PM

It took me 2 hours to beat falkner, even with a geodude

other than that, no problems:)

Yusshin April 5th, 2010 6:52 PM

I just beat the Elite Four, and my Dratini Level 55 pretty much OHKO'd everything on his team :s so I still haven't met a decent match of a trainer yet.

lusterclaw April 5th, 2010 7:23 PM
