Let’s start at the very beginning (a very good place to start). The Rock-type gym leader Brock was the start of many players’ Pokémon gym experience, and he was always pretty simple. Well, if you chose Squirtle or Bulbasaur, you’d have no problem. Heck, even Charmander could make quick work of Brock’s Pokémon because of their low Special Defense! B...
I’ve always loved Bugsy. His hair and outfit remind me of the “Berries and cream” guy from the Starburst commercials. But even though he may look like a wussy British schoolboy, his team is no joke. Bugsy starts off with Scyther, one of the coolest lookingPokémon of all time. The Mantis Pokémon will then quickly U-turn out to either Metapod or Kaku...
Grant is the cool rock climber from Kalos with hair that looks like the Aggro Crag. And at first, the battle seems easy: another Rock-type gym leader. However, his Pokémon are much harder to deal with than you’d think. Grant focuses on Fossil Pokémon, and his first one is a doozy. Amaura is a Rock/Ice-type with pretty balanced attack stats. It can ...
While there are a lot of Gym Leaders on here because of a single strong Pokémon, there’s only one who has a single strong move. And that’s Lenora. Lenora is the second Gym leader in Black and White, and she uses Normal-type Pokémon. While this may seem simple, Retaliate makes it anything but. Retaliate is a move that normally has a 70 base power, b...
One of the best additions in X and Y was the brand new Fairy-type. Finally there was something that could hard check Dragons and give a reason for Poison-types to exist! Unfortunately, Valerie doesn’t really care if you have Poison-types. Her first Pokémon, Mawile, is part Steel-type so she’s completely immune to Poison attacks. And her Pokémon rig...
Everyone reading this knew Whitney was going to be here. Everyone who grew up playing Gold, Silver, or Crystal knew the true terror that was her Miltank. It could immobilize you with Attract, regain health with Milk Drink, and deal out tons of damage with Then why isn’t Whitney higher on this list? Well, kids are stupid. And there are a few great o...
Every Electric-type Gym has to deal with Ground-types. Just look at poor Wattson in Ruby and Sapphire. However, Elesa figured out a great way to avoid that strategy by using Emolga. Emolga is an Electric/Flying-type Pokémon, making it immune to all of those pesky Ground-type attacks. Suddenly you can’t just Bulldoze your way through all of her Poké...
Piers is easily one of the coolest Gym Leaders in all of Galar. The fact that he refuses to use Dynamaxing is awesome, and really shows how much of a rebel he is! This is perfect for his fantastic Dark-type team. What makes Piers’ team so effective is how it addresses most of the Dark-type weaknesses. Malamar can make quick work of Fighting-types w...
Koga may not be the hardest leader, but I think he officially wins the award for most annoying Gym in all of Pokémon. First of all, you have to navigate invisible walls in order to get to the ninja master. While this may seem easy now, I remember as a kid hanging out with a bunch of friends with graph paper drawing out the layout of all the walls. ...
I remember back when I first played Pokémon Ruby, Flannery was the first brick wall I came up against. I thought her team was really rough with that Torkoal! Then I played Pokémon Emerald. Holy Crap. Flannery’s team is full of strong Special Attackers who are all sporting Overheat, a powerful Fire-type attack. This is increased even more by each me...
