There've been so many good ones, so it's tough to name just one! I think my favorite so far, simply because of how unique and creative it is, would have to be the Snowbelle Gym puzzle. The 3D effects are just so cool, and the puzzle is challenging enough that I genuinely felt proud of myself when I solved it! I recall getting stuck for a bit and then having a "light bulb moment" once I figured it out.

Paired with Dragon and Koakuma

Oh man, this takes me back. I really liked some of the Gen 6 puzzles, especially the rock climbing one. I recall most of the Gen 1 puzzles being fairly annoying, especially Giovani's and Sabrina's! They sucked for me as a kid and I still don't like them much to this day.
I'm not a fan of any gyms with spinning or warp tiles tbh. I get turned around so easily and with the warp tiles there doesn't seem to be a method to them other than just randomly figuring it out. I'd much rather have something like the Sootopolis gym puzzle.

Lt. Surge's Gym annoyed me the most. It's all chance and you don't feel accomplished afterwards, just glad it's over.

Sootopolis is my favourite. I'm not great at those kind of puzzles so I felt smart completing it.

When it comes to gym puzzles, I enjoyed the ones in Unova the most. Coming to mind first are Elesa's, Cheren's, Drayden's and Burgh's. They were all really unique and are definitely pleasing to look at! My least favorite ones are all the warp and spin mazes. They get really old.

Maybe I am remembering incorrectly but Cheren's wasn't really a puzzle was it? I thought it was just two trainer battles and then him. I haven't played BW2 much so I am probably remembering incorrectly.

For me it's the same as Fannie.
The worst is Lt Surge and the best is in Sootopolis.
I love the quizes with Blaine too.

I don't think it had much of a puzzle really, but Elesa's Gym stands out in my mind. Koga's invisible maze was cool too.

Agreed on Wulfric's 3D puzzle. It has required quite some thought every time I've challenged his Gym.

The quizes are great! Another I liked was Lumiose City Gym but I wish it was harder. I kept thinking it'd be cool to have a 'Who's That Pokemon' type quiz based on the cry. Maybe in future games there could be difficulty options that alter the puzzles because that might get infuriating for some people lol.

Hearthome City in Platinum.



I really enjoyed Fantina's gym puzzle from Pokemon Platinum. I think that was when the gym puzzles started to become siginifinatly more difficult, the same was with Maylene and Gardenia's gyms having changes from Diamond and Pearl.

Ah, you're right! It was the triplets gym I was referring to, as I enjoyed the curtain type thing, though it was very easy. Must have mixed it up with Cheren since it felt like a Pokemon academy sort of puzzle.
