<< ============================================
If you've ever played Red, Blue, or Yellow, you'll swear that Roark is a Brock
clone. He has Geodude and an Onix, as well as a new addition to Pokemon,
Cranidos. Roark uses Rock-types (although Geodude and Onix are half Ground)
and will come at you with Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, and the occasional Rock
Polish. Try to employ the usage of Special Attacks in order to avoid clawing
away at Roark's Pokemons' high Defenses.
<< ==========================================
Gardenia is a mighty step-up from the previous Gym Leader. She offers 2
evolved Pokemon, with Roserade being a third-stage Pokemon. Though I'm not
quite sure why Gardenia has one of the starter Pokemon, I AM sure that Grass-
types have a ton of weaknesses, most of which are easily obtainable at this
point in the game. In order to get to Gardenia inside her Gym, you need to
find 4 [not-so] hidden trainers and battle each of them first. After that,
the Gym Leader is all yours. << ===========================================
Maylene presents quite a challenge with her Fighting-Type Pokemon. All her
Pokemon know a move called Drain Punch, which is a Fighting-Type equivalent
of Giga Drain, in that it damages you and restores the enemy's HP. The type
to use here is primarily Flying, mostly because only her Machoke is weak
against Psychic. Knowing when to switch out your Pokemon is the key to
winning this battle. << ==========================================
Have you been training your Pokemon to the appropriate levels? I sure hope
so, for your sake. If you haven't been, this battle could be a set-back.
Gyarados will rip through your defenses if you don't take it down right
away, which is difficult to do anyways. Quagsire will force you to switch
from an Electric-type that you probably used against Gyarados, as it can't be
hit with Electric-type moves. Wake's highest-leveled Pokemon, Floatzel, will
be the least of your worries, however. << ==========================================
This battle seems like it would be tremendously easy, but it's actually not.
You have to deal with Confuse Rays, Hypnosis, Shadow Balls, etc. The best way
to bring Fantina down would be with a Dark-type, with Faint Attack or another
decent Dark-type move. Ghost-type attacks will hurt all 3 generally well, but
remember that your Ghost-type Pokemon will be at a disadvantage, too. You
could try to pinpoint the weaknesses of their dual-types, but these Pokemon
will fall easiest to Dark.
<< ==========================================
Byron, who is later found to be the father of someone you've fought earlier,
brings Steel-types to the table while making his team diverse at the same
time. Bronzor will screw with your mind, Steelix can be tough to pass without
the right types, and Bastiodon is a walking steel wall which can actually
attack, to some extent. Light up your Fire-types and your Water-types for
this battle - It's going to be a big one. << ===========================================
For the life of me, I can't figure out why an Ice-theme Gym Leader would have
something like Medicham in her line-up. Anyways, Ice is a fairly easy type to
bring down, simply because it has many common weaknesses. Medicham will be
halted with a Flying-type, so don't forget to bring that with you into this
confusing Gym. All in all, this battle is nothing to write home about because
of its low difficulty.
<< ==========================================
What is it now with these Gym Leaders becoming less themed? In order to battle
Volkner, you'll need to find him in one of the buildings to the south of the
Gym, which is currently closed. After speaking to him, he'll return and you
must make your way through his awkwardly designed Gym. You'll meet Volkner at
the end of the 'journey', and you'll also meet a good challenge. I hope you
brought along some Hyper Potions and Revives...
