I'mma give you my favourites from each gen, because it's impossible for me to choose one. Let's go (Pikachu and Eevee)! *Kanto* - Tie between Misty and Sabrina. Misty mostly for the anime, and Sabrina is just... jesus christ. *Johto* - Tie between Whitney and Clair. For Whitney, I just find it funny how everyone just gets bullied by her and her freakin cow unless you get the Machop. For Clair, she's probably one of my favourite Dragon trainer designs, tbh. *Hoenn* - Tie between Norman and Winona. Winona is gorgeous; and I fear taking a hit from Norman's Slackings... if they move. The fact that Norman's also your dad in R/S/E/OR/AS gives him bonus points, since dads are never usually around in the Pokemon world. *Sinnoh* - Tie between Roark and Byron. I love their little family dynamic in the anime. I don't have much else to say about Sinnoh, though. *Unova* - Now, I wonder who I could possibly nominate for my favourite Unova- it's Skyla. Elesa comes close, but Skyla's my number one pick for Unova. I also love how the names of her Pokemon all start with S in one game (I think it's Black2/White2, but please correct me if I'm wrong). Oh, that and Skyla's kinda cute, ngl. Love the bubbly personality. Guess you could say she's always *up in the clouds.* ;) *Kalos* - My favourite Kalos gym leader has to be Valerie. She's the first ever Fairy-Type Gym leader and she does not hold her punches at all; that and she's gorgeous like Winona. If I were to pick a favourite Gym Leader across all of Pokemon, it'd be a toss up between Skyla, Valerie and my Paldea pick. *Alola* - If we count the Trial Captains as "Gym Leaders", it's Mallow; but if we count the Kahuna's then I'd say... Nanu? I don't have a favourite Kahuna, tbh. Alola's kinda wierd with Gym Leaders, man. :\ *Galar* - Allister comes very close, but in Galar, PIERS IS THE KING!!!!!!!! Being the first Dark Gym Leader, Piers absolutely rocks - pun intended! If only Pokemon games had voice acting so I could hear what Piers was singing - though I think he was singing the sound of silence. ;) *Paldea* - Lean, mean streaming queen coming through! It's Iono! Shocking, I know! Very entertaining, very cute; and very powerful with that Tera Electric Levitate Mismagius. I love Iono. ^^ *Overall, my favourite Gym Leaders are definitely Skyla, Valerie and Iono.*
It's worth noting that Morty's Gengar is weak to Ground in the original games but in the remakes it has levitate. So that is another notable difference.
I just had Croconaw use Bite. I know, Cyndaquil is the better starter technically, but Croconaw eats Haunters for breakfast. And people say physical/special split makes more sense. My gator is biting ghosts, this is silly by Scooby Doo standards.
@matthewroberts198 Geodude/Graveler is good against 3 out of the 4 first gyms in Johto regardless of version it's just not all that helpful against Faulkner in the originals because his birds know mudslap and the amount of grinding you have to do to get rock throw, bu he doesn't have mudslap in the remakes and his ace is a higher level so you'd have to level up anyways. And obviously Morty has Levitate in the remakes.
@@patg1094 true but I played it when the games first came out. Didn't know who the other gym leaders were. I caught it for Falkner and was gonna ditch it a bit later but because it was useful against those first few gyms, I decided to keep it
It’s funny because when I fought Morty in HGSS, I completely cheesed his Gengar with a paralyzed Pidgeotto. Couldn’t hit me with Hypnosis or Shadow Ball, and Roost burned out his Sucker Punches.
He also gets walled pretty hard by Girafarig. He can only hit it with Dream Eater, and not only is it resisted, but the window to use it is almost nonexistent if you have a Girafarig with Early Bird. Only problem is you have to go pretty far out of your way to get one; it is possible by that point, but you need to go through Mt Mortar and up above Mahogany.
I cheesed him with the togepi, since you can stall his sucker punch PP with satus moves like yawn or charm, then hit him with super effective Extrasenory without worry once he's out. Alternatively, PP stall him with the Gift Eevee
@@CaptainObliviousV HGSS moveset is Hypnosis, Sucker Punch, Shadow Ball, Mean Look for the first fight. Dream Eater is in GSC where there are no abilities, makint GSC morty a hardee fight to cheese
@@theamazingspooderman2697most 1997 and older kids played RSE as their first Pokémon game. They’d be 3 when silver came out. I’m a late millennial at 1993 and my first game was gen 1 when I was 5-6. I remember gen 2 coming out when I was in elementary school.
Iono is actually Pladea’s third ranked gym leader, which makes it all the more impressive on her part, and all the more confusing as to why Kofu and Larry only have three Pokémon after Iono had 4 (the earliest gym leader in the series to have that large of a team too).
Paldea had an similar gym line up to the Kalo gym line up with bug begin the 1st gym, psychic and ice begin the last two,,Fighting and Fairy begin replace with water normal and ghost putting them on the mid with Grass and Electric the other two repeated Kalos gym type begin pushed into two spot earlier
@@spencersuhr4275 true, I forgot about Emerald, nice catch. Iono is still unique in the comparison though since she has no evolution line repeats like Wattson.
@@spencersuhr4275 challenge mode is wierd. It’s like a new game plus feature, but not really, with how it requires you to already beat Black 2 and then send the key to a whole other cartridge with a blank save to access it for the main story. Not saying you’re wrong or anything like that, I just find that aspect of B2W2’s key system very strange.
"And aside from Umbreon or a very fast Kadabra, there's pretty much no easy answers for this Gengar at this stage in the game" Literally any normal type that has a single non attacking move: Am I a joke to you?
@@shimogane2474 Furret and Aipom get Shadow Claw in HGSS instead and Noctowl gets Confusion instead, but Pidgey and Spearow don't really get anything to hit ghosts super effectively and I don't know Dunsparce's learnset in gen 4
you are not dumb for that, the developers are dumb for not adding level scaling, all exploration fun in open world game is ruined by not including level scaling
Purposely saved for last because I really enjoyed her character the most from what we got pre-release and completely destroyed her because of no lv scaling
@@JPRPokeTrainer98honestly I consider the Paldea gym leaders to be one the easiest gym line up outside of Kalos which by the way have an similar line up bug for the first gym,psychic and ice for the last two,all
Gen z? Bruh they were like 3 years old. I’m a millennial and gold was my first game I personally owned. Gen z wasn’t even specially aware until like fire red leaf green. MAYBE
Maybe they are talking about HGSS that Miltank was a nightmare I knew type matchups but literally did not know about the Machop until my cousin told me about it but i died to that Miltank like 3 times already
Wanna say how I appreciate how the video starts with telling us what it's gonna be about then it goes right into the content. Not many videos like that these days
6:55 just a note, dragon was a special type in gen3, always gets me too bc the dragons at that point were physical attackers yet without physical stab (dragon and ghost shouldve been switched to physical/special respectively, cmv)
@@theamazingspooderman2697 ikr!!! its so stupid. at least its easy to remember via "eeveelutions (incl the modern ones) and dragon" but then you come across a romhack that adds fairy but no split and sometimes its physical????
Gen Z??? Trauma bonding in 2000??? The oldest GenZers were 4 at the time 🤣🤣🤣 nuh uh, millennials were the ones really traumatized by the devil and her miltank 😂
Shoutouts to Olympia in X & Y for… almost being a threat. She’s still only got three Pokémon and she uses a below average type specialty, but she’s actually the only Gym Leader in these games to have full movesets on her Pokémon, and Sigilyph at least made an attempt at a Dual Screens strategy. Give that thing a Light Clay and add an extra Pokémon or two and she’s probably the hardest Gym battle in the game, especially if you play without the Exp. Share active.
@@matthewdykeman8149Agreed! Playing through them right now, buying clothes and stuff. I'm making it a challenge for myself by under leveling and matching gym leaders with their amount of mons.
I still remember when i first bought and played the game. I enjoyed it a lot, even though i got used to platinum's difficulty by then I think the charm that comes from the game was never about the difficulty or the challenges, it was to showcase the new 3D models and systems. I think its quite underrated in retrospect, the GTS system was amazing, the art peaked tbh, and a lot of QoL changes that definitely widened the target audience
Almost every battle in Emerald is tough. Roxanne forces you to evolve Torchik, Brawly can ridiculously buff his Makuhita, Watson is a paralysis nightmare without Marshtomp. Then you have Flannery, whose signature move is the 140 base power Overheat, which can knock out even a mon that resists Fire, and the first hit from her Torkoal is free due to a White Herb, plus the combination of Sunny Day and high defense removes the superiority of Water and Ground moves. Add to that Attract AND Body Slam, plus the Camerupt which is tough enough to set a Sunny Day and knock out a mon or two before the main event. Heck, Light Screen is enough to weaken Water moves for a while. Her biggest disadvantage is not taking advantage of the double battles the rematches all are, despite some of her new mons knowing freaking SOLAR BEAM. Then Norman is Norman, it's the first fight Combusken has an advantage, but it's a three level jump without any new areas to grind in beforehand, and the Slakings have a crazy BST of 670, and a good Facade can knock out ANYTHING. That's his base form, in Ruby and Sapphire! Emerald adds a Linoone with Belly Drum, and if it activates... hoo boy. Then Winona covers her weaknesses very well, Earthquake hits two of Flying's three weaknesses for super effective damage, and the third, Ice, is mostly garbage at that point. It's best to just teach Swampert an Ice move. Of course, Swampert has an insane advantage by being the only starter not weak to Flying, even though only ONE of her mons doesn't resist Water. Blaziken is better offensively, with two mons being weak to Fire, but once again, it's weak to Flying. Sceptile is best reserved for masochists. Tate and Liza have a ton of cover moves, including Solrock knowing Sunny Day AND Solar Beam, which could be problematic... but unless Sunny Day is used right off the bat, Surf would just destroy everything but their Xatu. Finally, Juan's Kingdra might just be even more annoying to deal with than Flannery's Torkoal, especially with Double Team spamming, and Rest restoring HP while the berry cures sleep anyway.
@@theamazingspooderman2697 It's definitely the easiest way to go, but challenges were still all around. Torchik is alright, but near the end, it becomes weak - especially against Tate & Liza. Lastly, choosing Treeko is simply for the challenge.
@@asmodeus58XX Treeko is not even that bad: hit supereff the first gym mons, neutral and faster than Broly's ones, it resist electric (even most of his moves are also resisted by magneton), hit supereffective 2/2 (or 3/4) of Tate and Lisa mons, and can OHKO most if not all the water gym (especially if you set up even only once against the mighty lead ludvisc). It's not close to the matchups of Mudkip evo line, that's for sure, but is still a better gym count than the best starter in some other regions (like Unima). In the end, none of the Hoenn starter is a challenge as chosing Chikorita in Jotho, or even Charizard in kanto (in full real advantage only versus Erika's team and Koga and Sabrina's Venomoths) Also in the Elite4 Sceptile can deal supereffective STAB damage to 2 of the mons of the first e4, and at least half of the champions team (both).
@@alessiodaniotti264 Well, of course, it has nothing on the suckage of Chikorita and Charmander, especially in the original Red and Blue (Charizard learns no Flying moves before FRLG), and you can argue Piplup is also worse, despite gaining the Steel type later on.
I know that Whitney's difficulty is so notorious that it's become a meme, but I remember finding Clair to be the most difficult Gym Leader by far when I played Crystal way back when. Maybe I just got lucky with RNG when fighting Whitney, or maybe picking Typhlosion made Clair more difficult for me than for people who picked Feraligatr or Meganium, but I've never really gotten the Whitney hype.
Whitney was rough if you picked Cynadquil due to its rock weakness, though I usually had a Graveler for defense. The player also just has fewer tools at their disposal fighting Whitney vs. fighting Clair. That being said, Kingdra is a brutal type combo to deal with pre-fairy and just has well-rounded stats in general.
I really like Raihan and Iono as gym leaders, they actually use game mechanics to make a challenging team. Really hope future installments do the same, mono-type gym leaders are played out, let's get gym leaders who actually know how to build a team.
I think Whitney is mostly infamous because most people pick Cyndaquil in the Gen 2 games, which is a bad match-up against Miltank's Rollout. I had a Bayleef by that point and had 0 problems! Bugsy was the huge challenge for me thou, lost to him like 3-4 times haha Bayleef has very good defensive stats, plus I set up Reflect while battling Clefairy, had to poison Miltank twice (because Lum Berry) with Poison Powder and just spammed Magical Leaf while Bayleef tanked the Stomps like they were nothing haha Where's my Team Chikorita at?
I found Fantina to be by far the hardest, like I reset more on her than I did on all the other gym leaders in total. Maylene on the other hand was the second easiest after Gardenia.The shadow sneaks and especially the will-o-wisp spam for duskull and possible confusion from mismagius was awful to deal with. Mismagius also outspeeds almost anything you can possibly have at this point.
“Whitney’s Clefairy is a wild card” yeah no kidding. On my last HGSS nuzlocke, I had a Graveler with Self Destruct ready to take out her Miltank, but her Clefairy used metronome and whipped out the mother of all grass type moves in the form of Frenzy Plant. And since Sturdy doesn’t act the same way in Gen IV as it does in later generations, my Graveler was OH-KO’d despite EV training it. RIP Pebbles the Graveler. She will be missed
Insomnia Noctowl sweeps Morty pretty easy in the remakes, learns confusion and you can use reflect and roost for the sucker punches. He is tough though without it
I have been religiously watching this channel for 11 years, im 22 years old that’s half my life from the end of Primary school to the end of University! Thank you for making quality videos for so long!
From the first time I played through Gen 9, I knew that Iono is the only gym leader that I actually had a tough time on because of exactly what you said: Elec Terra Mismagius and it's Levitate, making it the hardest Pokemon to counter when it doesn't have weaknesses. The only way you could hit it with a supereffective move is if you had a Pokemon that negates abilities (like Mold Breaker) or a move that negates them (like Gastro Acid) or changes them (like Worry Seed) or swaps them (like Skill Swap) or a move that causes the Pokemon to land on the round (Like Gravity or Smack Down). There are ways you can counter the Levitate but if you go into it without knowing, there's no way you could be prepared for it. All you do is go in being prepared for Electric types and she throws you a curve ball which is honestly why she's my favorite gym leader in Paldea. She actually makes it more of a challenge than the rest of them. Also, Larry Terrastalizes his Staraptor into Normal which negates its neutrality to fighting which is a dumb move in my opinion.
The crazy thing is- my first time playing through gold I literally never did a double take with wittney; I actually had more trouble with bugsy. At that point I had a half baked team of Totodile, falaafy, sunflora, and togepi- all of which I was using as death fodder while I tried to solo the game with feraligator (I hated the gen 2 Pokédex leave me alone) so I was taking down bugsys team with totodile and by the time I got to syther it was whittled down so I switched out to heal and let it get off 2 fury cutters so by the time my totodile came back into play I was cooked ;-; safe to say I had to retry that fight, but for Whitney I think I got super lucky I was using a different Pokémon to fight her team until miltank and that Pokémon had an accuracy dropping move so I used that move once before it got taken out by stomp: then when I pulled out my overleveled crocanaw that resisted rollout- I just hit it a few times as it missed the one and only milk drink it attempted due to being stuck in a rollout cycle.
Trial captains aren't version exclusive. Some of their Pokemon change between Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, but that's not the same as version exclusive.
So what I did on my recent heartgold run through is I traded for the onix and headbutted for a Heracross. I used screech with onix to knock miltanks defense all the way down and then growled with mareep to knock its attack down, came in with Heracross and swords dance a couple times then brick breaked it to oblivion. Only took me 15 years to come up with that strategy lol
Man, what you said about Gen 9 leaders screwing over their aces by terastalize has me wondering what Pokémon they could have used instead. I mean yeah, changing the Pokémon probably doesn’t fix the problem, but it’s still cool to think about
If I wasn't familiar with the games, I'd find it kinda funny how a cutesy-loving, early-game leader with a pink cow is considered by many to be more challenging compared to final Gym leaders who often use draconic beasts.
HGSS Morty's Gengar gets walled by a single normal type, just pp stall sucker punch with pretty much any status move. Same with GSC, just status yourself before the battle instead. You're not nearly as limited for options for it as youre making it sound. another thing-with nanu's persian, youre confusing fur coat with fluffy. fluffy is the one that adds the fire weakness
that rayquaza with the trumpet got me. Not expecting that! Well Im kinda missing watson because he is straight up unfair if you didnt picked the water starter (didnt expected to say that too) because he brings a MAGNETON with SHOCK WAVE uff, and manectric isnt easier to handle if you forgot to catch that geodude on that island. Combusken can help against magneton, but grovyle users truly are in for some trouble, at my first playthrough I needed to look up in the internet what I can do...? It was really akward because in the around lying routs, there are nothing usable for the gym fight, which is really odd.
Another VERY important thing about the Machop you can use against Whitney's Miltank, is that the Machop is a girl. Making it immune to Attract, resistant to Rollout, and running a Super Effective STAB against her entire team.
As someone who pretty much optimized a no death nuzlocke of bdsp, the gym leader order of difficulty to me is Wake, Roark, Fantina, Volkner, Candice, Maylene, Byron, Gardenia. Wake is an rng hack fest. In order to avoid all the rng requires very specific mons and set ups.
The fact that I had no trouble against Iono in a flying mono type run, slightly underleveled, "set" rules and no items... says a lot about the difficulty of gen 9 😔
@@theamazingspooderman2697 uh... what does that even mean? lol, do you think I have the entire logs for a fight I did some time ago playing cozy in my bed? All I remember is that Kilowattrel with Volt Absorb was the only one at lvl 25, the rest was underleveled. If you have that one, she can do nothing. Fast attackers like Fletchinder can finish her off.
@@The_One_In_Black Well, I've been playing since Gen 1, maybe that helps? I'm not a hardcore player though, I just play on Set and no healing items. Maybe the Volt Absorb Kilowattrel was too OP for her, the rest was around lvl 20, so lower than her team.
@@TheLMBLucas Yeah it was my first hardcore Nuzlocke. But mostly I was well prepared for Electric attacks and destroyed by Hex every time, since her Mismagius has no weaknesses.
I will say in my last playthrough of Moon, Nanu managed to catch me off guard and wipe my team. I don't remember exactly what he did to accomplish since this playthrough was about a year ago, but having Decidueye and not Primarina this time around certainly contributed.
Fantina and Candice in Platinum are the hardest ones for Sinnoh. Fantina: You have to defeat her to continue and the only Pokemon available with a type advantage are Gastly, Rotom, and Umbreon from the Eevee Bebe gifts you Candice: She sends out Abomasnow first to set up Snow Warning which helps Froslass due to it having Snow Cloak and Blizzard
And as an insult to injury, Frosslass has Double Team, a move that should be removed from the game alongside Minimize because it is such scummy garbage.
you can't get Rain Dance until after Liza and Tate, the only weather move you can use for them would be Hail. Sandstorm is Immune and Sunny Day helps THEM. Rain Dance is in the Sunken Ship and you can only get it once you can Dive.
Replaying Crystal on the 3DS, the Togepi I hatched was an absolute MENACE. I used Malik (Togepi) as the “sacrificial mon” against Bugsy’s Scyther thinking he wouldn’t do much… But he Metronome’d right into a FIRE BLAST that OHKO’d the Scyther. Not bad. Against Whitney. Togepi again was the offering against that demon cow… Malik the Menace was born that day as his Metronome brought out a DYNAMICPUNCH that crit hit Whitney’s Miltank and made it faint.
9:05 she did beat 5 of my Pokémon with her lucario alone in my first attempt at a BDSP nuzlock all because of drain punch preventing me from doing chip damage (my sixth was KO by her machop beforehand, so I whipped)
The Tera stuff in Paldea makes no sense to me, why would a gym leader use a Pokémon from a different type to make it a Pokémon of that type? Doing it reversed would make much more sense. Take your ace and use a tera on it to make it into something that covers your weaknesses.
Honestly surprised Candice didn't get a mention with her Hail strategy to have 100% accurate Blizzard and Snow Cloak Froslass (which not only is immune to Fighting but also has Psychic to hit them)
3:38 i beat Morty with a lvl 5 togepi and metronome. He can't touch it with ghost moves because it's not fairy type, and sucker punch doesn't trigger with metronome. It was a clutch win lol
in Johto, you can catch a Heracross even after the bug gym by headbutting a tree right below this gym (a very specific tree on the bottom left of said gym)
Gen 1: Sabrina Gen 2: Clair Gen 3: Flannery Gen 4: Maylene Gen 5: Skyla Gen 6: Viola Gen 7: Olivia Gen 8: Bea Gen 9: Tulip I'm a guy hence all gym leaders picked are female and I'm hoping they all are adults as they look adult
for hoenn, honorable mention to flannery with sunny day, light screen slugma, and most of her mons having the devastating overheat. in emerald, her torkoal has a white herb so the 2nd overheat will also be at full power. but imagine if torkoal got drought in gen 6 instead of gen 7
Clay's Excadrill is a nightmare and should have been at least mentioned for that. Also, Larry is in my opinion the strongest gym leader of Paldea, having both Dudunsparce with Drill Run to counter Rock and Steel types from checking it and Staraptor being the once gym leader's ace with STAB Terastalization, this can be even more frightening if you think that crippling it with status would be a good idea as that would rather boost its Facade instead.
Bugsy actually has a lore reason why he has the cocoons. He's *researching them* . He wants to see if they learn any moves if you delay their evolution that Butterfree and Beedrill don't learn.
I feel like Norman from Gen 3 should get an honorable mention because of his Slakings and Belly Drum Linoon in Emerald. Sure you could cheese a win by using Dig and Protect on the turns Slaking can move, but is using a cheese win stragty really that skillful. Trust me I should now, I had to use a cheese stratgy to win my first every Pokemon game Ruby, as I didn't know you weren't allowed to leave the rooms to heal you're Pokemon with the Pokemon Center between battle so after I lost the first time I just bought a bunch of Full Restores also not realizing they couldn't be used to revive already fainted Pokemon, so when I got to Steven I only had my three lowest Level Pokemon left a LV 44 Rregisteel, a LV 43 Wailord, and a LV 40 Hairyama, and I didn't want to rebattle all the Elite 4 again, so I just cheesed a win by spamming Ful Restores and maxxing Registeel's defense with Iron Defense. I had no shame in that, but other might want more of challenge and not using s cheese startgy and want to relay on actual skill.

Happy JPR Friday! Who is your favorite Gym Leader?
Giovanni or iono
I feel like the only acceptable answer is Larry.
Favorite is Raihan
I'mma give you my favourites from each gen, because it's impossible for me to choose one. Let's go (Pikachu and Eevee)!
*Kanto* - Tie between Misty and Sabrina. Misty mostly for the anime, and Sabrina is just... jesus christ.
*Johto* - Tie between Whitney and Clair. For Whitney, I just find it funny how everyone just gets bullied by her and her freakin cow unless you get the Machop. For Clair, she's probably one of my favourite Dragon trainer designs, tbh.
*Hoenn* - Tie between Norman and Winona. Winona is gorgeous; and I fear taking a hit from Norman's Slackings... if they move. The fact that Norman's also your dad in R/S/E/OR/AS gives him bonus points, since dads are never usually around in the Pokemon world.
*Sinnoh* - Tie between Roark and Byron. I love their little family dynamic in the anime. I don't have much else to say about Sinnoh, though.
*Unova* - Now, I wonder who I could possibly nominate for my favourite Unova- it's Skyla. Elesa comes close, but Skyla's my number one pick for Unova.

Love the bubbly personality. Guess you could say she's always *up in the clouds.* ;)
*Kalos* - My favourite Kalos gym leader has to be Valerie. She's the first ever Fairy-Type Gym leader and she does not hold her punches at all; that and she's gorgeous like Winona. If I were to pick a favourite Gym Leader across all of Pokemon, it'd be a toss up between Skyla, Valerie and my Paldea pick.
*Alola* - If we count the Trial Captains as "Gym Leaders", it's Mallow; but if we count the Kahuna's then I'd say... Nanu? I don't have a favourite Kahuna, tbh. Alola's kinda wierd with Gym Leaders, man. :\
*Galar* - Allister comes very close, but in Galar, PIERS IS THE KING!!!!!!!! Being the first Dark Gym Leader, Piers absolutely rocks - pun intended! If only Pokemon games had voice acting so I could hear what Piers was singing - though I think he was singing the sound of silence. ;)
*Paldea* - Lean, mean streaming queen coming through! It's Iono! Shocking, I know! Very entertaining, very cute; and very powerful with that Tera Electric Levitate Mismagius. I love Iono. ^^
*Overall, my favourite Gym Leaders are definitely Skyla, Valerie and Iono.*

Gen z? Gen 2 would be more of a millennial game. Most gen z weren't old enough or born yet to play gen 2 at the time.

6:56 But, Altaria could never use Dragonbreath as a physical move... The Dragon-Type was Special before the Phys/Spec Split...
7:00 Fun fact: Dragon was a special type in Gen 3. However, Altaria could still use Earthquake and Aerial Ace to great effect with Dragon Dance.
Iono is actually Pladea’s third ranked gym leader, which makes it all the more impressive on her part, and all the more confusing as to why Kofu and Larry only have three Pokémon after Iono had 4 (the earliest gym leader in the series to have that large of a team too).
Paldea had an similar gym line up to the Kalo gym line up with bug begin the 1st gym, psychic and ice begin the last two,,Fighting and Fairy begin replace with water normal and ghost putting them on the mid with Grass and Electric the other two repeated Kalos gym type begin pushed into two spot earlier
Watson has 4 Pokemon in Emerald.
@@spencersuhr4275 true, I forgot about Emerald, nice catch. Iono is still unique in the comparison though since she has no evolution line repeats like Wattson.
@@CaptainObliviousV That's true. I also forgot Burgh in B2W2 challenge mode has 4 Pokemon.
@@spencersuhr4275 challenge mode is wierd. It’s like a new game plus feature, but not really, with how it requires you to already beat Black 2 and then send the key to a whole other cartridge with a blank save to access it for the main story. Not saying you’re wrong or anything like that, I just find that aspect of B2W2’s key system very strange.
"And aside from Umbreon or a very fast Kadabra, there's pretty much no easy answers for this Gengar at this stage in the game"
Literally any normal type that has a single non attacking move: Am I a joke to you?
any normal types has bite I think XD
@@shimogane2474 Furret and Aipom get Shadow Claw in HGSS instead and Noctowl gets Confusion instead, but Pidgey and Spearow don't really get anything to hit ghosts super effectively and I don't know Dunsparce's learnset in gen 4
Too bad for iono I was 30 levels above her because my dumbass went through the gyms in the most bizarre order ever
that is the thing about SV isn't it lol
I once forgot Brassius - he got destroyed by level 60s
you are not dumb for that, the developers are dumb for not adding level scaling, all exploration fun in open world game is ruined by not including level scaling
Purposely saved for last because I really enjoyed her character the most from what we got pre-release and completely destroyed her because of no lv scaling
@@JPRPokeTrainer98honestly I consider the Paldea gym leaders to be one the easiest gym line up outside of Kalos which by the way have an similar line up bug for the first gym,psychic and ice for the last two,all
Gen z? Bruh they were like 3 years old. I’m a millennial and gold was my first game I personally owned. Gen z wasn’t even specially aware until like fire red leaf green. MAYBE
Maybe they are talking about HGSS that Miltank was a nightmare I knew type matchups but literally did not know about the Machop until my cousin told me about it but i died to that Miltank like 3 times already
You said Wynnona couldn't use Dragon Breath as a Physical move anymore, but dragon was aways special. But great work, love your content
Wanna say how I appreciate how the video starts with telling us what it's gonna be about then it goes right into the content. Not many videos like that these days
6:55 just a note, dragon was a special type in gen3, always gets me too bc the dragons at that point were physical attackers yet without physical stab
(dragon and ghost shouldve been switched to physical/special respectively, cmv)
Dark was also special for some reason when all Dark type moves were literally based on physical damage like Bite and Crunch
@@theamazingspooderman2697 ikr!!! its so stupid. at least its easy to remember via "eeveelutions (incl the modern ones) and dragon" but then you come across a romhack that adds fairy but no split and sometimes its physical????
Gen Z??? Trauma bonding in 2000??? The oldest GenZers were 4 at the time 🤣🤣🤣 nuh uh, millennials were the ones really traumatized by the devil and her miltank 😂
Shoutouts to Olympia in X & Y for… almost being a threat. She’s still only got three Pokémon and she uses a below average type specialty, but she’s actually the only Gym Leader in these games to have full movesets on her Pokémon, and Sigilyph at least made an attempt at a Dual Screens strategy. Give that thing a Light Clay and add an extra Pokémon or two and she’s probably the hardest Gym battle in the game, especially if you play without the Exp. Share active.
1:00 Psywave isn’t really a coverage move, since it does damage based on the target level
The shade thrown at Kalos is funny because it's true. Legends ZA better help that region not suck
Legends ZA should have 2 difficulties: Kalos Difficulty and Cynthea difficulty.
Hey now Kalos was a fantastic region, X/Y were just terrible games.
@@matthewdykeman8149Agreed! Playing through them right now, buying clothes and stuff. I'm making it a challenge for myself by under leveling and matching gym leaders with their amount of mons.
I still remember when i first bought and played the game. I enjoyed it a lot, even though i got used to platinum's difficulty by then
I think the charm that comes from the game was never about the difficulty or the challenges, it was to showcase the new 3D models and systems.
I think its quite underrated in retrospect, the GTS system was amazing, the art peaked tbh, and a lot of QoL changes that definitely widened the target audience
@@matthewdykeman8149 my no. 1 favourite region out of all 9 tbh
Bit confused, Dragon was a special type in Gen 1-3 right...so not sure Dragon Breath has ever been able to be used as a Physical move.
Almost every battle in Emerald is tough. Roxanne forces you to evolve Torchik, Brawly can ridiculously buff his Makuhita, Watson is a paralysis nightmare without Marshtomp.
Then you have Flannery, whose signature move is the 140 base power Overheat, which can knock out even a mon that resists Fire, and the first hit from her Torkoal is free due to a White Herb, plus the combination of Sunny Day and high defense removes the superiority of Water and Ground moves. Add to that Attract AND Body Slam, plus the Camerupt which is tough enough to set a Sunny Day and knock out a mon or two before the main event. Heck, Light Screen is enough to weaken Water moves for a while. Her biggest disadvantage is not taking advantage of the double battles the rematches all are, despite some of her new mons knowing freaking SOLAR BEAM.
Then Norman is Norman, it's the first fight Combusken has an advantage, but it's a three level jump without any new areas to grind in beforehand, and the Slakings have a crazy BST of 670, and a good Facade can knock out ANYTHING. That's his base form, in Ruby and Sapphire! Emerald adds a Linoone with Belly Drum, and if it activates... hoo boy.
Then Winona covers her weaknesses very well, Earthquake hits two of Flying's three weaknesses for super effective damage, and the third, Ice, is mostly garbage at that point. It's best to just teach Swampert an Ice move. Of course, Swampert has an insane advantage by being the only starter not weak to Flying, even though only ONE of her mons doesn't resist Water. Blaziken is better offensively, with two mons being weak to Fire, but once again, it's weak to Flying. Sceptile is best reserved for masochists.
Tate and Liza have a ton of cover moves, including Solrock knowing Sunny Day AND Solar Beam, which could be problematic... but unless Sunny Day is used right off the bat, Surf would just destroy everything but their Xatu.
Finally, Juan's Kingdra might just be even more annoying to deal with than Flannery's Torkoal, especially with Double Team spamming, and Rest restoring HP while the berry cures sleep anyway.
and that's why my first pokemon game was Emerald, though choosing Mudkip as the starter made those fights really easy
@@theamazingspooderman2697 It's definitely the easiest way to go, but challenges were still all around. Torchik is alright, but near the end, it becomes weak - especially against Tate & Liza. Lastly, choosing Treeko is simply for the challenge.
@@asmodeus58XX Treeko is not even that bad: hit supereff the first gym mons, neutral and faster than Broly's ones, it resist electric (even most of his moves are also resisted by magneton), hit supereffective 2/2 (or 3/4) of Tate and Lisa mons, and can OHKO most if not all the water gym (especially if you set up even only once against the mighty lead ludvisc).
It's not close to the matchups of Mudkip evo line, that's for sure, but is still a better gym count than the best starter in some other regions (like Unima).
In the end, none of the Hoenn starter is a challenge as chosing Chikorita in Jotho, or even Charizard in kanto (in full real advantage only versus Erika's team and Koga and Sabrina's Venomoths)
Also in the Elite4 Sceptile can deal supereffective STAB damage to 2 of the mons of the first e4, and at least half of the champions team (both).
@@alessiodaniotti264 Well, of course, it has nothing on the suckage of Chikorita and Charmander, especially in the original Red and Blue (Charizard learns no Flying moves before FRLG), and you can argue Piplup is also worse, despite gaining the Steel type later on.
I know that Whitney's difficulty is so notorious that it's become a meme, but I remember finding Clair to be the most difficult Gym Leader by far when I played Crystal way back when. Maybe I just got lucky with RNG when fighting Whitney, or maybe picking Typhlosion made Clair more difficult for me than for people who picked Feraligatr or Meganium, but I've never really gotten the Whitney hype.
Whitney was rough if you picked Cynadquil due to its rock weakness, though I usually had a Graveler for defense. The player also just has fewer tools at their disposal fighting Whitney vs. fighting Clair. That being said, Kingdra is a brutal type combo to deal with pre-fairy and just has well-rounded stats in general.
7:04, all dragon moves were special in gen 3, what are you talking about, lol
I really like Raihan and Iono as gym leaders, they actually use game mechanics to make a challenging team.
Really hope future installments do the same, mono-type gym leaders are played out, let's get gym leaders who actually know how to build a team.
same
Iono is the reason why I brought a Mold Breaker in my team to ignore Levitate, especially the Haxorus line who resists Electric.
I think Whitney is mostly infamous because most people pick Cyndaquil in the Gen 2 games, which is a bad match-up against Miltank's Rollout. I had a Bayleef by that point and had 0 problems! Bugsy was the huge challenge for me thou, lost to him like 3-4 times haha
Bayleef has very good defensive stats, plus I set up Reflect while battling Clefairy, had to poison Miltank twice (because Lum Berry) with Poison Powder and just spammed Magical Leaf while Bayleef tanked the Stomps like they were nothing haha
Where's my Team Chikorita at?
@@LuigiTheMetal64Weeb.
"No Kalos gym leader comes close to the amount of sauce that Grant has."
Thats because they have no sauce at all.
People who picked Bulbasaur
“Wait you struggled on Misty?”
I found Fantina to be by far the hardest, like I reset more on her than I did on all the other gym leaders in total. Maylene on the other hand was the second easiest after Gardenia.The shadow sneaks and especially the will-o-wisp spam for duskull and possible confusion from mismagius was awful to deal with. Mismagius also outspeeds almost anything you can possibly have at this point.
“Whitney’s Clefairy is a wild card” yeah no kidding.
On my last HGSS nuzlocke, I had a Graveler with Self Destruct ready to take out her Miltank, but her Clefairy used metronome and whipped out the mother of all grass type moves in the form of Frenzy Plant. And since Sturdy doesn’t act the same way in Gen IV as it does in later generations, my Graveler was OH-KO’d despite EV training it.
RIP Pebbles the Graveler. She will be missed
Levitate Gengar is the reason why Cursed Body exists. Can't tell me otherwise. Levitate G is the fear of fears
This. It was so unfair it got that nerf, when even in Alola, you see a Gengar floating around during the trial.
Love the thumbnail
The thumb nail is a meme lol
Insomnia Noctowl sweeps Morty pretty easy in the remakes, learns confusion and you can use reflect and roost for the sucker punches. He is tough though without it

Nice Thumbnail! HAPPY JPR Friday!
4:46 Heracross is an option too from the honey trees
1:33 wait the anime didn’t start until Gold and Silver. Pokemon originated as a game. Red and Blue then Yellow then Anime then Gold and Silver.
From the first time I played through Gen 9, I knew that Iono is the only gym leader that I actually had a tough time on because of exactly what you said: Elec Terra Mismagius and it's Levitate, making it the hardest Pokemon to counter when it doesn't have weaknesses. The only way you could hit it with a supereffective move is if you had a Pokemon that negates abilities (like Mold Breaker) or a move that negates them (like Gastro Acid) or changes them (like Worry Seed) or swaps them (like Skill Swap) or a move that causes the Pokemon to land on the round (Like Gravity or Smack Down). There are ways you can counter the Levitate but if you go into it without knowing, there's no way you could be prepared for it. All you do is go in being prepared for Electric types and she throws you a curve ball which is honestly why she's my favorite gym leader in Paldea. She actually makes it more of a challenge than the rest of them.
Also, Larry Terrastalizes his Staraptor into Normal which negates its neutrality to fighting which is a dumb move in my opinion.
Not to mention Iono has another Pokémon immune to ground - Kilowattrel
Plus if you're particular unlucky against Lenora's you could just continuously hit yourself in confusion and/or stay asleep
7:02 Dragon Breath was always a special move. Dragon is a special type
The crazy thing is- my first time playing through gold I literally never did a double take with wittney; I actually had more trouble with bugsy. At that point I had a half baked team of Totodile, falaafy, sunflora, and togepi- all of which I was using as death fodder while I tried to solo the game with feraligator (I hated the gen 2 Pokédex leave me alone) so I was taking down bugsys team with totodile and by the time I got to syther it was whittled down so I switched out to heal and let it get off 2 fury cutters so by the time my totodile came back into play I was cooked ;-; safe to say I had to retry that fight, but for Whitney I think I got super lucky I was using a different Pokémon to fight her team until miltank and that Pokémon had an accuracy dropping move so I used that move once before it got taken out by stomp: then when I pulled out my overleveled crocanaw that resisted rollout- I just hit it a few times as it missed the one and only milk drink it attempted due to being stuck in a rollout cycle.
Trial captains aren't version exclusive. Some of their Pokemon change between Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, but that's not the same as version exclusive.
So what I did on my recent heartgold run through is I traded for the onix and headbutted for a Heracross. I used screech with onix to knock miltanks defense all the way down and then growled with mareep to knock its attack down, came in with Heracross and swords dance a couple times then brick breaked it to oblivion. Only took me 15 years to come up with that strategy lol
Man, what you said about Gen 9 leaders screwing over their aces by terastalize has me wondering what Pokémon they could have used instead. I mean yeah, changing the Pokémon probably doesn’t fix the problem, but it’s still cool to think about
If I wasn't familiar with the games, I'd find it kinda funny how a cutesy-loving, early-game leader with a pink cow is considered by many to be more challenging compared to final Gym leaders who often use draconic beasts.
Whitney's a monster
Counter to Morty: ANY Normal type with Bite and an anti-sleep berry. He goes down that easy.
HGSS Morty's Gengar gets walled by a single normal type, just pp stall sucker punch with pretty much any status move. Same with GSC, just status yourself before the battle instead. You're not nearly as limited for options for it as youre making it sound.
another thing-with nanu's persian, youre confusing fur coat with fluffy. fluffy is the one that adds the fire weakness
Now what’s the most mid gym leader in every game
Maylene caused my first and only loss in my first BDSP playthrough the first time around and it was all thanks to Meditite
funny enough Iono knows how to use terastallize better than Nemona does she doesn't screw herself over doing it while Nemona does
that rayquaza with the trumpet got me. Not expecting that!
Well Im kinda missing watson because he is straight up unfair if you didnt picked the water starter (didnt expected to say that too) because he brings a MAGNETON with SHOCK WAVE uff, and manectric isnt easier to handle if you forgot to catch that geodude on that island. Combusken can help against magneton, but grovyle users truly are in for some trouble, at my first playthrough I needed to look up in the internet what I can do...? It was really akward because in the around lying routs, there are nothing usable for the gym fight, which is really odd.
Another VERY important thing about the Machop you can use against Whitney's Miltank, is that the Machop is a girl. Making it immune to Attract, resistant to Rollout, and running a Super Effective STAB against her entire team.
Whitney
That floating electric Mismagius was a nightmare...
You gave me PTSD by talking about Iono cuz her Mismagius killed 5 of my 6 Pokémon in my (failed) Scarlet Nuzlocke attempt
As someone who pretty much optimized a no death nuzlocke of bdsp, the gym leader order of difficulty to me is Wake, Roark, Fantina, Volkner, Candice, Maylene, Byron, Gardenia. Wake is an rng hack fest. In order to avoid all the rng requires very specific mons and set ups.
We had the worst Gym Leaders, we had the best Gym Leaders.
How about the most average Gym Leaders?
l a r r y
Totally Larry. Have you seen him? Dude's so average, he just blends into most crowds. I almost never see him.
If you were including the teams they used in the world tournament during B2W2 this video would be very different.
The fact that I had no trouble against Iono in a flying mono type run, slightly underleveled, "set" rules and no items... says a lot about the difficulty of gen 9 😔
can you explain the entire battle?
Meanwhile I lost against her in every run that I didn't catch a Normal-type before fighting her.
@@theamazingspooderman2697 uh... what does that even mean? lol, do you think I have the entire logs for a fight I did some time ago playing cozy in my bed?
All I remember is that Kilowattrel with Volt Absorb was the only one at lvl 25, the rest was underleveled. If you have that one, she can do nothing. Fast attackers like Fletchinder can finish her off.
@@The_One_In_Black Well, I've been playing since Gen 1, maybe that helps? I'm not a hardcore player though, I just play on Set and no healing items.
Maybe the Volt Absorb Kilowattrel was too OP for her, the rest was around lvl 20, so lower than her team.
@@TheLMBLucas Yeah it was my first hardcore Nuzlocke. But mostly I was well prepared for Electric attacks and destroyed by Hex every time, since her Mismagius has no weaknesses.
Surprised Candice didn’t have a mention.
Platinum Candice to be exact
@@theamazingspooderman2697 Indeed.
6:40 you FOOL! you dare to forget about the allmighty Hail Castform that easily?
I will say in my last playthrough of Moon, Nanu managed to catch me off guard and wipe my team. I don't remember exactly what he did to accomplish since this playthrough was about a year ago, but having Decidueye and not Primarina this time around certainly contributed.
Dissapointed in morty for not using scizor instead of scyter just like the anime
Another banger video on JPR Friday 😎
Keep up the good work !!!
Iono having a Mismagius that early was actually mindbogglingly difficult, all things considered.
Fantina and Candice in Platinum are the hardest ones for Sinnoh.
Fantina: You have to defeat her to continue and the only Pokemon available with a type advantage are Gastly, Rotom, and Umbreon from the Eevee Bebe gifts you
Candice: She sends out Abomasnow first to set up Snow Warning which helps Froslass due to it having Snow Cloak and Blizzard
And as an insult to injury, Frosslass has Double Team, a move that should be removed from the game alongside Minimize because it is such scummy garbage.
Gen Z?! Miltank fucked bro up so much he forgot what year it was
you can't get Rain Dance until after Liza and Tate, the only weather move you can use for them would be Hail. Sandstorm is Immune and Sunny Day helps THEM. Rain Dance is in the Sunken Ship and you can only get it once you can Dive.
Replaying Crystal on the 3DS, the Togepi I hatched was an absolute MENACE. I used Malik (Togepi) as the “sacrificial mon” against Bugsy’s Scyther thinking he wouldn’t do much…
But he Metronome’d right into a FIRE BLAST that OHKO’d the Scyther. Not bad.
Against Whitney. Togepi again was the offering against that demon cow…
Malik the Menace was born that day as his Metronome brought out a DYNAMICPUNCH that crit hit Whitney’s Miltank and made it faint.
Here’s the funny thing about Winona tho… she’s not a roadblock gym. You CAN skip her even if you want to get a Spheal or Snorunt.
She is in ORAS. As soon as you cross the bridge where you get the Devon scope, the route is blocked until you beat Winona.
Quick correction but Iono's levels would make her technichally the third gym leader.
8:18 Using Blizzard in Luxray is the most appropiate thing ever.
9:05 she did beat 5 of my Pokémon with her lucario alone in my first attempt at a BDSP nuzlock all because of drain punch preventing me from doing chip damage (my sixth was KO by her machop beforehand, so I whipped)
The Tera stuff in Paldea makes no sense to me, why would a gym leader use a Pokémon from a different type to make it a Pokémon of that type? Doing it reversed would make much more sense. Take your ace and use a tera on it to make it into something that covers your weaknesses.
Watson is fairly well renowned as the hardest in gen 3, interesting take with Winona
13:06 Fur Coat (the ability Alolan Persian has) doesn’t give a fire weakness, it’s Fluffy that does
Honestly surprised Candice didn't get a mention with her Hail strategy to have 100% accurate Blizzard and Snow Cloak Froslass (which not only is immune to Fighting but also has Psychic to hit them)
Awesome video. Seriously well made
The thumbnail is awesome
3:38 i beat Morty with a lvl 5 togepi and metronome. He can't touch it with ghost moves because it's not fairy type, and sucker punch doesn't trigger with metronome. It was a clutch win lol
in Johto, you can catch a Heracross even after the bug gym
by headbutting a tree right below this gym

Gen 5: Skyla
Gen 6: Viola
Gen 7: Olivia
Gen 8: Bea
Gen 9: Tulip
I'm a guy hence all gym leaders picked are female and I'm hoping they all are adults as they look adult
for hoenn, honorable mention to flannery with sunny day, light screen slugma, and most of her mons having the devastating overheat. in emerald, her torkoal has a white herb so the 2nd overheat will also be at full power. but imagine if torkoal got drought in gen 6 instead of gen 7
Only problem with Iono is if you have a normal and a ground type on your team you can just switch out and PP stall her mismagius
honestly if you wanted to include gen 7 in these videos, the boss fights at the end of each trial would be a good way to do it
Clay's Excadrill is a nightmare and should have been at least mentioned for that.
Also, Larry is in my opinion the strongest gym leader of Paldea, having both Dudunsparce with Drill Run to counter Rock and Steel types from checking it and Staraptor being the once gym leader's ace with STAB Terastalization, this can be even more frightening if you think that crippling it with status would be a good idea as that would rather boost its Facade instead.
Bugsy actually has a lore reason why he has the cocoons. He's *researching them* . He wants to see if they learn any moves if you delay their evolution that Butterfree and Beedrill don't learn.
I love how I get this notification right as I leave work at 5PM EST & I open up "Good morning, everyone. Goooood morning!"

I feel like Norman from Gen 3 should get an honorable mention because of his Slakings and Belly Drum Linoon in Emerald. Sure you could cheese a win by using Dig and Protect on the turns Slaking can move, but is using a cheese win stragty really that skillful. Trust me I should now, I had to use a cheese stratgy to win my first every Pokemon game Ruby, as I didn't know you weren't allowed to leave the rooms to heal you're Pokemon with the Pokemon Center between battle so after I lost the first time I just bought a bunch of Full Restores also not realizing they couldn't be used to revive already fainted Pokemon, so when I got to Steven I only had my three lowest Level Pokemon left a LV 44 Rregisteel, a LV 43 Wailord, and a LV 40 Hairyama, and I didn't want to rebattle all the Elite 4 again, so I just cheesed a win by spamming Ful Restores and maxxing Registeel's defense with Iron Defense. I had no shame in that, but other might want more of challenge and not using s cheese startgy and want to relay on actual skill.
