Lt. Surge was swet by Typhlowsion

Blaine was swept with Empoleon
Blue was no sweep, but no trouble.
How did you do agaisnt gym leaders?

Fushigidane-Chan December 30th, 2010 5:05 PM

If I recall correctly, very few of them took me more than one try. Ironically, I defeated Leaders like Whitney, which seem to give everyone trouble, on my first try; and struggled a little bit on Leaders like Chuck, which are generally considered pretty easy to beat.

Yono December 30th, 2010 7:40 PM

The only Gym Leader that I really had problems with were Claire, as I didn't carry and Ice or Dragon-type on me and Sabrina(was low on Dark attacks).

Red was another, but he's not a Gym Leader. :P

As a person training Fire, Electric, Fighting, and a Dark type Pokemon at that point, Claire was absolutely dreadful. She's the sole reason for my putting a Lapras into my HG/SS team.

Emperte December 31st, 2010 11:16 AM

Claire was hardly a problem. A good level'd Feraligatr's Ice Fang made quick work of her Dragonair, Kingdra was no match for my Sunflora (yes, a Sunflora) and Gyarados vs Steelix was just fun...Stone Edge xD

I think the only Gym Leaders to give me some issues were Blue and Erika.

Dooonerz December 31st, 2010 11:36 AM

Faulkner- Beaten with Mareep <3
Bugsy- Took me a couple tries, that deng Scyther and its U-Turn..
Whitney- Bout 3 times? Stupid attract Miltank.
Morty- No sweep, but my Kadabra got most of them, even the Gengar!
Chuck- Swept with Kadabra
Jasmine- Bit of a problem as I had no Fire types, but I just got through with Potions ect.
Pryce- Same as Jasmine, just got through <33
Clair- SPAM MY FERALIGATR'S ICE FANG <3
Surge- Nidokings' Earth Power FTW!
Sabrina- Yay for Umbreon <3
Erika- SPAM FERALIGATR'S ICE FANG <3
Misty- Swept with Ampharos <3
Janine- Hello Alakazam. BAM! <3
Brock- Beaten with Feraligatr <3
Blaine- Too easy for my aligator <3
Douche Gary- Tough battle, but Alakazam shone and destroyed <3

Starchomp December 31st, 2010 2:51 PM

all of the gym leaders were really easy. Now the elite four, they were tough!

PlatinumDude January 2nd, 2011 5:39 AM

Falkner: swept easily by starter Pokemon (Totodile in HG, Quilava in SS) and Mareep
Bugsy: swept by Larvitar
Whitney: her Miltank was tough.
Morty: he was okay, thanks to Scizor
Chuck: he was okay.
Jasmine: easy
Pryce: easy
Claire: Kingdra wasn't as hard due to having my own Kingdra in HG.

-I made him cry when he got beat by my Bayleef, how embarrassing for him :D

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t250/jczala/Sprite/BugsyCellAnime1.gif
-I have always had problems with her him in the past games, but since I had a Pidgeotto the battle seemed a bit easier.
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t250/jczala/Sprite/WhitneyCellAnime1.gif
-NOT THIS TIME COW LOVER! I came prepared! I completely overleveled Bayleef and Pidgeotto and evolved them into Meganium and Pidgeot! I crushed her with my mighty team! Muuwhhaaaa!! This was also the time I bought Dratini from the Game Cornner (I loathe voltorb flip, and I couldnt wait until blackthorn to get one lol)

http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu184/ChaoticBeginnings/pkmn/MortyHGSS.gif
-Ohhhh boy, it wasnt hard, but it wasnt easy. I dislike his Gengar very much.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t250/jczala/Sprite/ChuckCellAnime1.gif
-Easy win with Pidgeot and Dragonair :D

http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j340/livethisdanceforever/Pokemon%20Sprite%20meme/JasmineHGSS.gif
-Im pretty sure she fed her Steelix steroids before our battle. That thing was a mofo to beat.

http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af241/starterra/upload/PryceHGSS.gif
-Hey! Hey you! Yeah you with the cane and the completely new and improved sprite! Eat dirt and die!! I hated this battle sooooooo much. Not only because the majority of my team were weak to ice, but because my attacks kept missing! Ughhhh

http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j340/livethisdanceforever/Pokemon%20Sprite%20meme/ClairHGSS.gif
-Hahaha okay okay. You want to know something funny? I used my level 45 Dragonair against her entire team. BEST BATTLE EVER. Lol I just thought that was funny xD

Morgnarok January 2nd, 2011 1:37 PM

Took me one try for all the gym leaders.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ January 3rd, 2011 7:57 AM

I wiped out every single one of them on my first try. My female Geodude/Graveler proved extremely useful for the first three, delivering super effective hits against Falkner and Bugsy and resisting everything Whitney's Miltank tried to throw at me :) Meowth with Technician and Bite made quick work of Morty.

By the time I faced the others, I had assembled a nice, powerful team of Pokemon that made the rest of them fall with ease.

Meduza January 3rd, 2011 7:59 AM

I grind before every gym so I only need to battle each one once.

SquirtleGirl January 3rd, 2011 12:57 PM

7 down and 8 to go on HG....

Falkner: Took him down with Quilava while training my Mareep by sending it out first and switching it with Quilava.
Bugsy: [Am I the only person who always knew Bugsy was a guy?] Swept him with Quilava. Caterpie.....feel the wrath of Flame Wheel! Mwuhahaha!
Whitney: Her miltank was one heck of a cow to take down but several super potions and a few well placed attacks later... I sent her crying and I had to wait for her to get over her hissy fit so I could get my badge D:<
Morty: Hate that Gengar. But I still managed to survive it somehow. I dodged a Hypnosis and my Flaaffy dived in for the kill!
Chuck: His Primeape was a bit of a bother for me as I had no Psychic or Flying types... his Poliwrath went down with a few Thunderpunches from my newly evolved Ampharos though :3
Jasmine: That Steelix was on freaking steroids or something. Still took it down with Quilava's Flame Wheel though.
Pryce: Piece of cake. Ampharos for his water types + Quilava for his ice types = Death to the old man's Pokémunz!

Yet to battle Clair. I've heard she's tough so I'm gonna be very well prepared >:3

Ghostie January 3rd, 2011 4:41 PM

Yeahhh...and hope Kingdra doesn't kill it, right?

Find a Jynx in the Ice Cave, she's uber pro with her Psychic/Ice combo. :D
Jynx should take care of Claire and the rest of the trainers in that Gym.

Ofruck January 6th, 2011 6:19 AM

The only gym where I had trouble with was Whitney's. Stupid resting cow. Claire was a slight toughie too, cause I don't use dragon pokemon, and my main poke was Typhlosion then. I got though most gym leaders with ease, and have never died in a battle till Red. mofo red.

pokemontrainer_samuel January 15th, 2011 12:05 AM

Most of the Johto leaders were a pushover despite me having an undertrained team because Butterfree was my best pokemon and Sleep Powder is extremely useful (especially against Miltank). But I had to battle Claire twice because I only had 1 pokemon that was at a higher level than Dragonaire, that's my level 40 Typhlosion. He got swept by Kingdra though :( But I managed to defeat Claire with a team of

L40 Typhlosion
L38 Butterfree
L37 Togetic
L35 Ampharos
L32 Red Gyarados
L25 Pidgeotto

and 3 hyperpotions. Man that was a very long battle. Kingdra was hell.

Haven't battled Kanto Gym Leaders yet.. Still got lots of training to do before the Elite Four >.<

NamelessGuy January 15th, 2011 6:19 AM

Falkner - I don't even know how he even became a Gym Leader in the first place. His team is incredibly easy to take down (unless you're using Grass or Bug-types). I used my Geodude, who left the battle completely unscathed.

Bugsy - That Scyther is freaking annoying. Fortunately for me, I defeated it in one hit thanks to my Zubat's critical with Wing Attack. The rest of his team is a joke.

Whitney - Holy cow (no pun intended)... that Miltank is the most irritating thing ever to walk the Pokémon world. Clefairy goes down easily, but Miltank puts up a fight. I had to spam Rock Smash excessively, since I didn't have a Fighting-type at my disposal.

Morty - Pretty simple, except for that Gengar. Swear to God, that thing was probably tripping on acid. I mean, it was even faster than my Golbat, whose speed is through the roof. Needless to say, I spammed Bite and won handily. The rest of his team fell victim to my Kadabra's Confusion.

Chuck - The easiest and shortest of them all. By this time I had a Crobat, and I beat both of his Pokémon in one hit.

Jasmine - Another cakewalk. I'll admit I was skeptical of Steelix at first, but my Feraligatr made scrap metal out of it with Surf.

Pryce - Relatively easy, but this particular battle took a while, since I didn't really have a type advantage. I basically used my Magneton's Charge Beam on his Seel, but since I didn't have a Fire-type or Fighting-type to combat Piloswine, it took a while to defeat. However, it didn't really attack much, thankfully.

Clair - Frustating battle, especially when I had to defeat Kingdra with Feraligatr when my Magneton fainted (critical hits always happen at the worse possible time). The rest of her team wasn't too difficult.

blue January 15th, 2011 7:05 AM

I only found a couple of them difficult (Morty & Whitney) apart from that I had a pretty sturdy team to take them out (Lunatone, Solrock, Swellow & Altaria)

Try4se January 15th, 2011 7:26 AM

I beat all of them first try, but none of them were perfect sweeps.

mikey January 17th, 2011 4:38 PM

I only had trouble with two leaders: Whitney and Morty.

Whitney was all because of her Milktank. That thing was a pain with the Rollouts and stuff. Took awhile :<

And Morty just kept putting my pokemon to sleep or confusing them >:(

SeanSchulz January 17th, 2011 4:45 PM

I made my team in aligns with the gym leaders to sweep them, so blue was the only one that troubled me. Feraligatr was my main sweeper though.

katmanic February 17th, 2011 7:55 PM

I think the only one I had a problem with was Morty. He kept using Curse and Confuse Ray, which was a real pain in the neck at the time. >.<

Wailord_1989 February 18th, 2011 12:03 AM

I had trouble wit Clair, she's just ridiculously strong >~<

Pokemon Trainer Touko February 18th, 2011 12:48 AM

I had no trouble with any of the gym leaders, but I simply hate Morty's gym- it's soo dark and I always fall from the edge, it took me a long time to get to Morty~

TehPsychicTypeMaster February 18th, 2011 4:20 AM

The gym leaders weren't too bad for me, the only problem I had was Clair and her annoying Kingdra >.<. If I recall correctly the entire battle between my Typhlosion and her Kingdra lasted roughly 15-20 minutes.

MysticFlygon February 18th, 2011 10:26 AM

The only gym leader I've lost to up to this point was Misty. I was training some lower leveled(mid 40's) Pokemon and decided to challenge her gym. I almost won but her Starmie got the best of me. I also lost to Sabrina in the rematch if that counts.

FrostPheonix February 18th, 2011 11:09 AM

The only person who i had trouble with was that guy under the water fall (chuck i think?) and maybe blue. Chuck took some serious grinding...

King Gumball February 28th, 2011 12:55 AM

They were all easy except Whitney and Jasmine x; Whitney. Her Miltank was horrible to verse, Stomp and Milk Drink... Urgh. And Jasmine and her defensive team. I had no pokmemon that were super effective, in fact all my pokemon were not very effective.

~Darkness~ February 28th, 2011 1:52 AM

I did fine with all of the gym leaders except for Whitney, her Milktank just tore through my team! But after some training, I won.

banngr February 28th, 2011 2:52 AM

Whitney was my only big problem as well...Miltank to be specific. Clair was a pain in the butt too but still beatable first go.

Oliviahope1992 February 28th, 2011 6:16 PM

When I caught the Red Gyarados I had no problems with Claire. I had to revive once and use a few hyper potions but my Gyarados was 6 levels lower than her strongest pokemon! I was pretty proud of it :) I did however have a lot of trouble withe fighting gym. Took me 3 tries til I got it!!
About to take on the Elite Four but I have some serious training to do!

ChimeraReiax February 28th, 2011 6:28 PM

I swept almost all of the leaders with Typhlosion, Red Gyarados, and Snorlax (Earthquake ftw). :> (but ffffffff Witney, I needed to use that in-game trade with Machop to finish her :E)

Ghostrk9 February 28th, 2011 10:21 PM

well i had some trouble with clair cause of my jynxs low defense like very low but the others were a breeze

レイジングブラスト March 1st, 2011 4:02 PM

Well considering the fact I use a lot of water Pokemon(usually 4 on my in game team) I always seem to struggle with Lt.Surge. The rest of the gym leaders are never a problem for me.

Way Turner March 5th, 2011 2:15 AM

I got stuck with Whitney so l went out of the gym and back to the Ilex forest for some training. When l finally leveled up a bit l decided to go back for a new try and this time was she chanceless...after that l kept me prepared for more tough fights like Lt. Surge since l chosed Totodile as starter.

shengar March 6th, 2011 8:29 PM

I kinda disappointed to myself for my spartan train method. The Gym Leader become too easy to beat(except Sabrina, Whitney, Falkner because I start with Chikorita and don't have additional Pokemon until goldenrod) and lose the epic feel in battle(the battle music is epic, yes)

Novia March 8th, 2011 8:06 PM

I didn't have much trouble with the gym leaders until Claire. She was really hard for me, I'm not sure how many tries it took me but it was definitely more than what it took for everyone before and after her (excluding the Elite Four and Red of course).

den899pop March 11th, 2011 6:01 PM

The first few were easy and then i got a bit stuck on Morty (fell a lot), when i had enough badges to control my traded pokemon from platinum, beating the rest and the Elite 4 was easy (on my platinum game i had a bunch of lvl.100) XD

solarowl March 11th, 2011 11:07 PM

Falkner was easy.
Bugsy, also easy with Quilava.
Whitney gave me a bit of trouble, but not that hard.
Morty, was a bit troublesome with Gengar, it took a few tries to beat.
Chuck, wasn't hard.
Jasmine very easy.
Pryce, not difficult.
Clair, was easy too.

Dark Piplup March 23rd, 2011 3:45 PM

Most were very easy but Lt. Surge and Claire were sort of hard. No Feraligatr!
