The strongest one???
Hello friends you all might have played Pokemon Heart Gold and soul silver and we know these games features fight from gym leaders of 16 gyms from johto and Kanto so which gym leader you found too hardest to win?
|
Jasmine. Steel-types have crazy Defense, and sadly my only special attackers in my team, Feraligatr and Ampharos, were weak to Magneton and were resisted respectively. I had to catch and grind my Growlithe to oblivion to stand a change against her.
|
Whitney's Miltank will always be the death of me.
|
It was definitely Blue. My team kept getting walloped by him it forced me to have to transfer my prized Lv100 Swampert from Ruby, who then proceeded to be the badass girl she is and destroy him.
|
Whitney, probably. Now that I think about it, most of Johto's gym leaders were hard for me in a way or another.
|
Claire was unfortunately difficult for me because I solo leveled my Typhlosion rather than creating a team... :L
A close second though was Blue, who smacked me pretty hard with his mixed team. Not the best experience, but I did manage to level up quite a few times on him. |
Ugh, I remember when I started a battle with Whitney, and I was like, "Lol, that's just a silly cow, it cant be that hard" 20 rollouts later: "Whatever"
|
I got stuck on Whitney too for ages! Biut without doubt is has to be Blue!
|
For me, it was Claire. When I went up against her, all my Pokémon were under-leveled, so she was able to defeat me quite instantly. To get her beaten, I had to do a lot of extra training. It was a pretty frustrating task, honestly. ;o; Whitney was quite tough, too; her Milktank was just impossible to take down, and just as when you're about to, it'd always recover itself with Milk Drink.
|
For me it'd be either Clair or Blue. Clair because that Kingdra has not only well rounded stats that are all above average, and very powerful attacks (nothing under 135 power), but only one weakness that you probably don't have at that point.
Blue because of his diversity and tactics such as Trick Room with Exeggutor for Rhydon and Machamp, and a Dragon Dance Gyarados thrown in there along with a high level Pidgeot and Arcanine. No one Pokémon of his spells lolwtf, but as a whole it's not the most pleasant of a time. |
Ugh ♥♥♥♥ Bugsy's Scyther. I started playing SS again a few days ago. What the hell were they thinking?!?!
"Hey let's add a Pokemon with a 500 BST and high attack stat, AND STAB U-Turn for the second gym! What's the worst that can happen?" It took some serious grinding and item abusing to beat |
In the old days (Gen II), Bugsy's Scyther, Whitney's Miltank, Morty's Gengar and Jasmine's Steelix were all pretty challenging. Whitney more so than the others because I simply could never figure out a good strategy to deal with Miltank.
When I played HG, though, I didn't have much of a problem with any of them. Golbat, Heracross, Trapinch, and Rapidash assured my victory at each gym, respectively. Although Morty's Gengar did have me on the ropes, the poor success rate of Hypnosis gave me the only opening I needed. Guess I got a bit lucky on that one. Now, when I get my Japanese SS I might be singing a different tune. The team I'm planning on taking all the way to Mt. Silver is Ekans, Psyduck, Vulpix, and Meowth. Hopefully with excessive use of the disruptive moves Disable, Glare, Screech, Hypnosis, Confuse ray, Will-o-wisp, and Flash, I should be good to go. |
I definitely always had some problems defeating Whitney's Miltank .__. She kinda always was a challenge early in the game. But, I love the Nidoran lines so most of the time I caught a Nidoran in the National Park to KO those Normal-types with Double Kick :3
Clair's Dragon-type Pokemon could be a challenge too sometimes, but when I chose Totodile at the beginning instead of my usual Cyndaquil-choice, I learned him Ice Punch (back in the good old days) :3 Also, every Friday you could catch a wild Lapras in Union Cave <3 Ice-types are great against Dragons so that gave me some more advantages. |
for me it was water type gym leader as I only level up fire type it took me lot of time to defeat water type starmie was huge problem and its speed
|
In the GSC days it would have been Whitney with her Miltank and rollout absolutely dominating my Quilava but in HG/SS it would have been Claire with her Kingdra as i used to teach Typhlosion Thunder Punch to take out Kingdra and since they weren't available at the Department Store in Goldenrod anymore i struggled a tad
|
Whitney is the devil. She kills me unless I'm OP.
|
I've never had an issue with Whitney or her Miltank, but I always seem to go into battle with Clair unprepared, and have either lost or come close to it on numerous occasions. Her first couple of Pokemon aren't all that hard to dispose of, but her Kingdra was awful. It has boosted critical hits with its ability, it only has one weakness, and when you think you've finally got it on the ropes, it eats its Sitrus Berry.
|
Whitney was a big pain in the backside especially with Miltank. Claire was also troublesome with her her Kingdra. But overall, the Johto Gym Leaders weren't super hard, but they provided a fun challenge. :]
|
Sabrina always caused alot of trouble for my team.
|
In my ss nuzlocke at jasmine I only had vaporeon fearow and a lv 17 wheezing.
Geodude deals with the first 3 gyms so. |
Definitely Sabrina in the rematch. That retarded Wobbuffet was a huge pain with CounterCoat, especially when backed by Full Restores.
|
Whitney's Miltank + Nuzlocke = R.I.P. my sanity.
|
It Was Whitneys Miltank It Alwaya Use Attract +Rollout to Defeat Me
|
Almost everyone can agree that Whitney's miltank is by far the only challenge I had
|
Quote:
Ontopic: I really hated Whitney and her Miltank. More so back in gen II. And Claire's Kingdra. That sucker had some really high power, and to top it off, she always used a hyper potion on that thing .. |
I had trouble with Whitney's Clefairy as it keep spamming Attact on my team.
|
I think the only leaders I had any problems with were Blue and Chuck. I went through the whole game with the Sinjoh Ruins Dialga, so the normal threats like Whitney could hardly touch me.
Chuck, however, had type advantages over Dialga and my other main Pokemon, Typhlosion. By the time I reached Blue, I had relied so heavily on Dialga that the rest of my team was significantly underleveled, and I didn't get coverage on the entirety of his mixed team. |
Whitney is obvious. Her Miltank for that point in the game is uncool. However, my vote goes to Clair because of her Kingdra. Which was even more uncool.
|
In terms of the Pokemon that I used in the game, Chuck or Whitney would be the hardest Gym Leaders for me in Johto. It was always just how strong Chuck's Pokemon were, and there aren't very many good places to train your Pokemon so I was always very weak to the point of him beating the pulp out of me. Whitney is just plain unfair. That Miltank always kept spamming that Milk Drink move or something. The Clefairy was very annoying as well because my Pokemon always got attracted to her Clefairy, which really could destroy my whole team, since I can never find female Pokemon.
|
Whitney wasn't all that hard for me honestly. My Sandslash usually destroys Miltank with Dig. I'd say my toughest time was Clair since it's near-impossible to get Dragon moves by that point in the game.
|
Clair.Her Kingdra is strong and it takes me about 4 battles before I defeat her.
~Sorry for the bad English. |
I didn't have a huge amount of trouble with Whitney, probably because we share the name and she went easy on me ;) I have no idea why, haha.
Well, yesterday it took me over 20 minutes to beat Pryce in one battle because it came down to his Dewgong and my Quilava. He kept using Rest and didn't have any Water-type moves so he couldn't kill me. >.> I only had 2 Fire-type moves, Swift, and Quick Attack, so it took quite a while for me to wear him down. |
If Sneasel was obtainable in HGSS pre-Kanto, this answer would be different, but, I didn't like any of the Ice-types available before Blackthorn City, and none of my Pokemon knew Ice Beam, Blizzard, and none could take a strong Dragon-type with manageable health left. Needless to say, I wasn't very well prepared heading into Clair's gym. It took me a long, long time to get past that part of the game. I think I spent a week or two without playing it out of pure frustration. n__n;
