Gym Leaders

Bryan

Fighting-type Gym Leader of Sedghi Valley.

Upon his defeat, he'll give you the Honesty badge. With that, you will be able to use Cut outside of battle to cut down the little trees that sometimes block paths! Additionally, he'll teach you how to sure-hit moves using Prisma energy.

Tips:

• Be careful! During his fight, he will use Prisma Energy to turn one of the moves he uses into a sure-hit move. He will only do this when he's down to his last Pokemon.
• He has a ghost-type in his team, so you'll want to avoid using a normal-type pokemon during this fight!
• Try to find a flying-type pokemon and use that to help you reach victory!

Euryale

Rock-type Gym Leader of Eudo.

Upon her defeat, she'll give you the Generosity badge. With that, you will be able to use Rock Smash outside of battle to break the little rocks that sometimes block paths! Additionally, she'll teach you how to Terastalize pokemon using Prisma energy.

Tips:

• Her first Pokemon will start a sandstorm when it gets hit by a move. If you can find access to a weather move to change the weather, it'll help especially since her last pokemon is a tank.
• Her second Pokemon is holding a rock gem, boosting the power of its next rock-type move. Additionally, it has Magician, which will then take one of your items once its rock gem is used up. Be careful!
• She will terastalize her final Pokemon to rock-type, making its rock-type moves deal more damage!

Euryale's Team (Single Battle)
Reptorn Level 13 Rock/Dragon Sand Spit @ Smooth Rock Crystal Shards Mud Slap Peck Focus Energy	Quartzle Level 13 Rock/Fairy Magician @ Rock Gem Crystal Shards Flash Mud Slap Diamond Dust	Glyphamid Level 16 Rock/Psychic Sturdy @ Leftovers Crystal Shards Confusion Mud Slap Protect

Emile

Flying-type Gym Leader of Sarita.

Upon their defeat, they'll give you the Harmony badge. With that, you will be able to use Strength outside of battle to push the large rocks that sometimes block paths! Additionally, they'll give you an Air Taxi Pass that can be used to fly to previously visited towns and cities.

Tips:

• This is the first double-battle Gym Battle in the game! Be careful with your choices!
• Emile's strategy is to use sound-based moves to be able to continually repeat the same moves with Orchestrate. If you can find a Pokemon with Soundproof, this fight will be a breeze.
• Emile's Gusora is the most dangerous threat with both Unburden and a consumable item paired with a recovery move that can make it last for a long time. Try to knock it out before it gets out of hand.

Kuubat Level 15 Ice/Flying Sudden Allure @ Bright Powder Orchestrate Round Supersonic Icy Wind	Rufflet-L Level 15 Electric/Flying Sheer Force @ Quick Claw Orchestrate Thundershock Wing Attack Round	Gusora Level 21 Fairy/Flying Unburden @ Throat Spray Orchestrate Fairy Wind Sing Softboiled	Tockadoo Level 21 Steel/Flying Keen Eye @ Metronome Orchestrate Metal Sound Round Twister

Veronica

Electric-type Gym Leader of San Jafet.

Upon her defeat, she'll give you the Ambition badge. With that, you will be able to use Surf outside of battle cross bodies of water! Additionally, she'll teach you how to use Prisma energy to Dynamax your Pokemon!

Tips:

• Veronica's Quibbit will try to switch its held item to yours, giving your Pokemon a toxic orb and poisoning your Pokemon. Try to be careful when fighting it!
• Veronica's signature move, Overclock, will buy you an extra turn so try to knock out the enemy before she starts attacking.
• She will always Dynamax her final Pokemon after it uses Overclock, so don't count on her wasting her Dynamax turns!

Veronica's Team (Single Battle)
Quibbit Level 21 Fire/Electric Guts @ Toxic Orb Overclock Fire Sprint Slack Off Switcheroo	Gremblitz Level 21 Electric/Dark Surge Surfer @ Terrain Extender Thunder Punch Sucker Punch Pursuit Electric Terrain	Wyryper Level 22 Electric/Ghost Frayed Wires @ Quick Claw Overclock Glare Thunderbolt Bite	Flocblocc Level 25 Steel/Electric No Guard @ Eviolite Overclock Laser Beam Thunder Steel Beam

Angelo

Psychic-type Gym Leader of Castellano.

Upon his defeat, he'll give you the Hope badge. With that, you will be able to use Defog and Flash outside of battle to make it easier to see in foggy routes and caves!

Tips:

• His Jumonix will begin Psychic terrain, so try bringing a Pokemon that can switch or destroy the terrain effect.
• His Narwise will have Thick Fat, resisting fire and ice-type moves.
• Angelo will Terastalize his Narwise on the first turn it is out.

Angelo's Team (Single Battle)
Jumonix Level 34 Psychic Psychic Surge @ Terrain Extender Calm Mind Psychic Wish Double Hit	Urzaraze Level 35 Psychic/Steel Parental Bond @ Expert Belt Cosmic Power Psycho Cut Feint Attack Meteor Mash	Narwise Level 35 Psychic Thick Fat @ Twisted Spoon Brainstorm Sing Dream Eater Surf

Aurora

Ice-type Gym Leader of Hanagan.

Upon her defeat, she'll give you the Grace badge. With that, you will be able to use Dive outside of battle to explore undersea routes!

Tips:

• Aurora relies on Hail to set up, so try changing the weather if you can!
• Her Symphonora has moves that hit both your Pokemon on the same turn, so Wide Guard would be wise to use.
• Aurora will only Dynamax Symphonora and will do so on the first turn Symphonora is out on the field.

Aurora's Team (Double Battle)
Princicle Level 35 Ice Cryptobiosis @ Ice Gem Dragon Dance Hibernate Aurora Veil Ice Beam		Valkyrynx Level 35 Ice/Psychic Snow Warning @ Icy Rock Icy Oparetta Cosmic Power Draining Kiss Psychic		Bearsolute Level 35 Ice Slush Rush @ Expert Belt Hibernate Icicle Crash Liquidation Superpower

Destan

Water-type Gym Leader of Laurel Coast.

Upon his defeat, he'll give you the Patience badge. With that, you will be able to use Waterfall and Rock Climb outside of battle to climb waterfalls and rocky mountain paths! Additionally, depending on the version of your game, he will teach you how to use Prisma energy to perform either Z-Moves (in Opal) or Mega-Evolution (in Obsidian). You will have to rematch him right before the Elite Four to get the other ability.

Tips:

• He will try to set up rain, so try to change the weather if you can.
• Plenty of his Pokemon are very tanky, so try to inflict status effects since he has no way to cure that from his team.
• Destan will use both a Z-Move and Mega-Evolve his Pokemon. He will only use the Z-Move when he is down to two Pokemon left, and he has a choice of Mega-Evolving either Thermomenon or Primarina but he will only Mega-Evolve when he has two or less Pokemon left.

Mariposa

Bug-type Gym Leader of Fahuenna.

Upon her defeat, she'll give you the Renewal badge. With that, you will be able to control Pokemon up to Level 100! No more disobedient Pokemon!

Tips:

• Mariposa's Pokemon relies on speed control, using variations of Sticky Webs to slow your Pokemon down! Try to get rid of the webs by using Rapid Spin, Priouette, Tidy Up, or Defog.
• Her Cristaluna is 2x weak to fire-type moves, don't underestimate fire for this fight!
• When she is down to her last two Pokemon, she will either Terastalize or Dynamax one of her last two Pokemon, so be careful! She will also use a Z-Move at this point if she can.
