Hardest Unova Gym Leader?
Everyone always struggles with at least one Gym, but which Gyms caused you trouble?
I know most people would say Elesa or Lenora but I want to hear your opinions. |
Burgh if he was the bug guy. :)
I hope that I didn't vore for wrong gym leader. Lol. :D |
I'd say Lenora's gym.. stupid, stupid Watchog's retaliate
|
Drayden. The others were fine because I used my Serperior(as a Snivy and Servine), Seismitoad(Tympole and Palpitoad), Unfezant(as a Pidove and Tranquill), Darmanitan(as a Darumaka), Zebstrika(as a Blitzle), and a Repardasu(actually Liepard, as a Choroneko, or Purrloin). His Fraxure and Haxorus was strong, when they use Dragon Dance, it's impossible, so I use Liepard to outspeed them.
|
Lenora(I hate that Watchog and his/her Retaliate!). Elesa never really caused much trouble, but maybe that's because I had Heat Crash with me, lol.
|
Aloe, or Lenora, whatever you want to call her. >__> Her Herdier. UGH. D:<
|
Lenora, definitely. She has the highest jump in levels from the previous Gym (6 levels) + evolved Pokemon. The rest only go up by 3-4 each. STAB Take Down and Retaliate is strong enough to one shot any equal or underleveled Pokemon. Unless you have a strong Pokemon with a Fighting type move, she is a very hard gym.
Normal gyms always seem to be the hardest. That Miltank in HG/SS was SOOO annoying. |
Lenora was tough and I would of lost if not for Sawk. But my first defeat was to Elesa, I hate Emogla Volt Switch. Once I put Sandile on my team, she was easy. So it between Lenora and Elesa but I choose Elesa. The others (including Drayden) were too easy.
|
I never struggled with Lenora... ARM THRUST/RAZOR SHELL FTW!!!!
My problem was Elesa and that GODDAMNED VOLT SWITCH. Also because Emolga didn't really have weaknesses, it's Aerial Ace murdered my Gurdurr (Rock Slide user) and I was totally screwed. I thought Lenora was fabulous, if only every gym had a +5 level jump... One can only dream. |
Elesa gym stupid volt switch

Elesa - and those damn Emolgas - was definitely the hardest Gym Leader to face. The rest were all varying levels of meh in terms of difficulty, provided that you knew basic stuff about them going in. But Elesa was a definitive wild card in every sense of the word (and she's a model!)
|
I would say Drayden. Damn Dragon Dance. It's just....to damn hard to outspeed him. I just went for the paralyze and out sped him. Then overpowered him. (Well as best I could.)
|
I found Lenora to be the hardest by far. She has the evolved Herdier and Watchog, at levels 18 and 20 with strong STAB'd attacks. Meanwhile, you have these crappy early-game pokemon at around level 15 and 16 which probably haven't evolved yet. I had to use Leaf Tornado hax to win in the end. Most of my team resisted electric attacks, so Elesa wasn't too bad. And by the time I reached Iris, I was able to just sweep with a Belly Drum'd Darmanitan using Hammer Arm.
|
Lenora. She was just too over-leveled for me during the first battle. :/
I was like, "How can the second gym leader be such a pain?!" |
Elesa was such a pain to beat, Though I beat her with a pokemon she used during the battle.

I taught Attract via TM to my female Zebstrika, I recommend female Zebstrika cos two of Elesa's Pokemon are male (her Zebstrika and one of her Emolga), I use Attract then just spam Shock Wave on her Emolgas then I spammed Flame Charge on her Zebstrika (Zebstrika's ability makes it immune to Electric attacks) and I ended up winning. |
I'd probably say Lenora. Herdier's Take Down seriously hurt at that point in the game. Watchog's Hypnosis was also annoying.
|
Lenora was the only gym leader that took me more than one try. Stupid Watchog. >_<
|
For me it's easily Lenora with that damn Herdier, even with my Pignite and its type advantage over her Herdier and Watchog I found myself trying at least 8 times in succession before claiming victory after a long and grueling bout. I thought Elesa would be pretty tough too but I swept through her team pretty easily with my then newly evolved Emboar at the time lol.
|
I run a team of Dark and Dragons, so I found the Dragon gym quite tough actually.
This is my post for the 18th November, Kaori. |
Lenora was for me and also Elesa ><
Both were annoying Lenora was for me and also Elesa >< Both were annoying |
Am I only one who thinks that Burgh was hard? :D
