They were fairly easy to beat in Ruby & Saphire (Aggron use Iron Tail!) but in Emerald on the other hand...

I think that Tate & Liza are, in Emerald, the most difficult gym leaders of any pokemon game. What do you think? How did you fare against them in Emerald?

The main problem is that Claydol. An Aggron or Manetric would win the battle easily if it wasn't for its Earthquake.

Tate and Liza are my most hated Gym Leaders. Of course, I won against them but it was hard. That time I had: Gyarados; Lairon; Blaziken; Breloom. I managed to win luckily thanks to Surf and Giga Drain. :D

EDIT: This was on Emerald, by the way.

Surf is the answer to all your problems.

Three of their Pokemon are weak to Water, and when you've got two out at a time, even Gyarados' Surf gives them big problems.
Everything ends,
and that's always sad.
But everything begins again, too,
and that's always happy.

Man,
oh man,
oh man,
do I ever,
HATE those guys!

With my team at the time: Breloom, Manectric, Torkoal, Alteria, Alakazam, and a Marill for surfing.

Chanses are I opened with Alakazam/Manectric. When the earthquakes started coming my way, I would switched out for Alteria. He ended up tanking it for sure.

If you have ANY pokemon take out Xatu, and a pokemon with surf, you're set. Really, they're only that annoying if you let them set up (Or if you fight them in Emerald 386. *shudders*)

The hardest fight is Norman if you don't have something like Protect, a Lairon, or a CM Gardevoir that sets up on Spinda.

EDIT: Why Muddy water? It's no better than Surf...

Apparently they are fairly hated on the planet. But omg every time I restart the game this is where I get caught up In my opinion they are the hardest gym(in proportion to levels). My first time my Absol pulled it out of his "place where the sun don't shine" after my third try, and I still love him to this day for it.........

Manetric using Shock Wave for Xatu && Swampert using Surf && Muddy Water on the others worked fine for me.
I realy didn't have too much trouble with this one myself.
Norman, on the other hand...=PP
I appreciate random VMs =))

>_> eww Tate & Liza. In R/S easy, Emerald a bit hard. I raised a Mightyena or a Gyarados. They did pretty fine. Might was about the high 30s, and Gyarados was mid 40s. I uber trained Gyarados. :3 or you can Randomly raise a Sharpedo(Super Rod).

It was hard for me as my Pokemon are always severely underleveled. Her Xatu and Claydol mostly wiped out my Pokemons...
