Gym Leaders

[Ben Kenobi]

What I think makes the Gym Leaders tough(er) on this is just ONE powerful Pokemon they have such as Sabrina's Alakazam, Koga's Muk, Misty's Starmie, Brock's Onix, well the latter two were for me as I chose Charmander. Who thinks so too?

Although this definitely isn't the sole reason as to what makes the gym leaders tougher, it certainly doesn't help the challenger. The gym leader's prize Pokemon usually has better moves and doesn't seem to be as weak when choosing what moves to use. For example, I haven't seen one use Poisonpowder when I'm already poisoned. Also, they are usually higher levels and fully evolved, so they more access to better moves.

Actually, the saying kind of works with Ash, too. If you think about it, his Pikachu is in the range of level 60 and 80. But all of his other pokemon indeed started late, so they're in the range of 30 and 45?. But that would just include the Hoenn Saga. In [Kanto], all of his pokemon would be his strongest !

I try and defeat Gym Leaders (and everyone else) without losing any one of my Pokemon but I usually have to as I have no other choice. Actually the only two Leaders I've lost my Pokemon against were Misty and Sabrina but Misty was tougher.

I always train my party up evenly, maybe that's why I had a slightly harder time.

my party is pretty even but i have certain pokemon a few lvls higher so i have an advantage while fighting trainers and gyms

Some times its harder because like 3 or 4 of my pokemon have a weakness to one powerful of the gym leader. :/ It's crap really. Sometimes I get tired of the gym leaders being so effing powerful. Be WEAK for once and give us noobies a chance D:

The only Gym Leaders that have been easy for me so far have been Lt. Surge as I had Geodude and against Erika as I had Charmeleon. Against the others, I had no strong type advantage.
