How do you get the eighth badge on pokemon diamond?

Answer 1

<< ============================================

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...

Hope it helps

You have to beat the 8th Gym leader. Usually he/she is the toughest, so use your stongest pokemon. Once you defeat him or her, you receive the badge.

In Silver and Gold, Clair will not give you the last badge until you retrive the dragon fang from the cave to the north.
