Which gym leader do you think is the strongest so far?

[jamesw0102]

I would say charlotte would be the hardest gym leader so far.

[Nova]

Make it a poll! I vote Shade as the hardest Gym leader.

[Shing]

Before, it was noel and aya. Now.. Shade. The pokemon and the field. Ouch.

If the longest, man. Aya would be the longest. Remember the muk with full evaininess(idk forgot what it called) vs roserade with full growth. So much miss.

That made me fucking urrgh. I'll never forget that experience.

I would've said Noel, but he got nerfed. Charlotte is probably the toughest right now, with Shelly being #2 because of all the hax confusion and stat-reduction she does if you don't have Persim Berries and Guard Specs.

Eh vulpix would give shelly a massive trouble with the flame burst.

1.Charlotte - Takes A LOT of advantage of her field, and is a very aggressive kind of leader, it won't let you even breath. Chances are that your "to go" team won't stand a chance the first time, and even grinding and developing a strategy, she's hard.

2.Luna - Not only is it the fact that her prankster Sableye is annoying as hell, but her Umbreon just DOES NOT DIE. That battle takes forever.

3.Serra - You're never prepared for her the first time.

[Arkhi]

Charlotte, certainly. If not her, then Serra.

[Follow]

Of course Charlotte, I had 4 save files. I always beat her in the 2nd/3rd try, which is not common.

[Deleted User]

I'll add a poll.

For me it was definitely Radomus but I haven't fought most of the gym leaders in roughly a year now. I'm allowing multiple selections, please keep it to 2-3.

[Foamy]

I haven't played any of the earlier leaders since Episode 11, so I can't adequately gauge how difficult they are now.

But man, Charlotte gave me a lot of trouble. I was only able to win by the slimmest of margins.

[TheJawsOfDeath]

Charlotte, yup definetly Charlotte. But I love that no one ever asks this question for the main games. " Oh man I lost to Candice like 7 times before I finally won" Thats probably my favorite part of Reborn. Gym Leaders aren't just monotype route trainers with different music. They push your shit in until they miss a move, AI messes up or you come up with a great strategy.

[Lostelle]

shade was crazy hard before the field effect

now just spam discharge and it's a sweep

[Knight_Teutonic]

It's pretty easy to use shade's field to defeat him. I killed his gengar with a gloom!

[Kemotatnew]

You can easily overcome Luna when you have at least 1 Fighting Pokemon that can set up (for example Lucario Sword Dance and Scrafty Dragon Dance/Bulk up) and something that can counter that Sableye.
It is pretty easy to make a team that can face both Bennett and Luna without changing anything with just 4, max 5 pokemons and you have still one slot left for an HM Slave/ Hunter Pokemon/ or another Pokemon that can you use for gyms.

[Jaromir]

Pre-nerf Serra still takes the cake for me.

She was the only one that made me bring level 15 Vulpix to a gym battle.

[Helia]

Easiest for me: Julia (1), Corey(1), Shade(1), Cal(1), Kiki(1), Aya(2), Radomus(1), Luna(1), Samson(2), Terra(1).

Harder ones: Florinia(4), Serra(6), Noel(7),

Hardest: Shelly(12) and Charlotte(13) Blake(15)

The numbers behind it are the amount of times it took me to beat them. I find gym battles more fun to train than grinding, you never know when you accidentally win.

[Commander]

My vote is going to have to go with Pre-nerf Serra aka the Hax Queen. Never have I resetted a game so many times before. Pre-pre nerf Aya probably is a close second. Seriously though, when I finally beat Serra I gave out a victory chant. And no, I didn't use the drought tactic.

[Amethyst]

yeah yeah charlotte's strong i get it

speaking of hax queen serra i'd wager she's gonna be getting that title back reaaaaalllllll soon.

To be honest I never had a hard time with blake and shelly.

Do. Not. Ever. Think. To. Nerf. Her.

[primrose]

i actually had the most trouble with M394 73RR4WR because field mechanics. (blizzaaarddd) at least a dozen resets under her belt.

and why Ame. why.

[Shadow Tack]

Noel had me stuck for a year oml, and i still don't get why people think charlotte is hard, the only leader i had a better time with was julia.

[Shing]

Woah, people had hard time with charlotte. She's buring everyone to the hell.

With Shelly it was constantly that Yanmega that bothered me, same as with Bennett's Yanmega.

Blake gave me runs for my money with that Walrein outspeeding the half of my team that hadn't fainted yet. Plus that Vanilluxe with Freeze Dry. Didn't think it'd have it.
