| Gym Leader Battle #7: Mossdeep City Psychic and Rock Types, Mind Badge Liza & Tate Lunatone: Level 42 Solrock: Level 42 Recomendations: Dark, Water Okay, this battle couldn't possibly be any easier unless the twins battled with already fainted Pokemon. Just so long as you have a strong Water or Dark type, the battle should take about two seconds to win. I beat them, and my team's average level was about ten lower than their Pokemon, at level 32 to level 35. |
| Gym Leader Battle #8: Sootopolis City Water Types, Rain Badge Wallace Luvdisc: Level 40 Whiscash: Level 42 Sealeo: Level 40 Seaking: Level 42 Milotic: Level 43 Recomendations: Electric, Grass Well, just 'cause you saved the world doesn't mean he's going to go easy on you! (Heroes never get a break, huh?) Wallace is a tough trainer (what're you expecting? The last Gym Leader to be easy?). Unless you have a very strong Grass or Electric type, Wallace may take a few tries to beat. His half-Ground Whiscash is immune to Electric attacks, so you may want to bring another strong Pokemon to deal with it. Perhaps that nice new Kyogre, Sapphire Players . . . |

| Elite Four Battle #1: Dark Types Sidney Mightyena: Level 45 Shiftry: Level 48 Cacturne: Level 46 Sharpedo: Level 48 Absol: Level 49 Recomendations: Fighting, Electric, Ice, Fire Fighting is the best way to go here, it's practically the only type Dark is weak against. If you don't have a fighting type, use Electric versus Sharpedo, and fight Shiftry and Cacturne with Fire. It only get's harder from here, so use this battle as preparation. |
| Elite Four Battle #2: Ghost Types Pheobe Dusclops: Level 48 Banette: Level 49 Sableye: Level 50 Banette: Level 49 Dusclops: Level 51 Recomendations: Ghost, Dark Use Dark types against Pheobe's team of Ghosts. The Dusclops, who has no weakness, should be fought using a very strong Pokemon with a high Special rating. Between Dark and Ghost types, you should be able to send Pheobe's Ghosts back to the grave. |
| Elite Four Battle #3: Ice Types Glacia Glalie: Level 50 Sealeo: Level 50 Sealeo: Level 52 Glalie: Level 52 Walrien: Level 53 Recomendations: Fighting, Electric All of Glacia's Pokemon know the move Hail, which could cause problems for you. The best way to go is to stick with an Electric type and just fry all of Glacia's Pokemon, but a strong fighting type works well too. |
| Gym Leader Battle #6: Fortree City Flying Types, Feather Badge Winona Swellow: Level 31 Pelipper: Level 30 Skarmory: Level 32 Altaria: Level 33 Recomendations: Electric, Ice, Rock Winona has a fairly balanced team, but they all share the Flying type, giving them a nice weakness to electricity. If you have an Electric type, go for it! If not, use a good Rock type and an Ice type for the half-Dragon Altaria. |
