what kind of pokemon gym leader would you be?

[Tragonight]

I would be.....hmmmm............a Dragon Gym leader.
I have always favored the Dragon type because its weakness is its resistance.

I changed my mind on the gym's TM. I'd give no ****s for the rules 'n have a new TM for Volt Tackle. With Raichu as my signature 'mon, it'd only make sense. Half my team learns and would make use of Wild Charge, so why the hell not make Wild Charge's big brother available to moar Pokes? Ain't like the only evolution line to learn it is very good in the first place anywho. I've also decided on a whim that my battle would be a Double battle to further emphasis my place as the strongest gym really meanin' somethin'. As for the movesets...


Manectric (shiny!), Minus:

- Discharge
- Thunder
- Overheat
- Volt Tackle


Ampharos:

- Reflect
- Discharge
- Rock Gem
- Focus Blast


Jolteon, Volt Absorb:

- Discharge
- Thunderbolt
- Detect
- Yawn


Electivire, Motor Drive:

- Volt Tackle
- Cross Chop
- Ice Punch
- Rock Slide


Luxray, Intimidate:

- Volt Tackle
- Superpower
- Fire Fang
- Night Slash


Raichu, Static, Electric Gem:

- Volt Tackle
- Brick Break
- Mega Kick (salutations, Surge!)
- Light Screen


Added on Ampharos to further emphasis the gym as bein' somethin' special, having a full team though not even the E4 does. That, and for Plus/Minus abuse. :lol: A Doubles gym leader who specializes in Electric types can't be caught not usin' said strategy.

The theme of the movesets is the obvious Doubles synergy in useful abilities and certain moves (Discharge + Volt Absorb/Motor Drive, Reflect & Light Screen, etc.), as well as reckless abandon for potent moves that have high base power in return for drawbacks; full-out offense, in other words. Moves like Focus Blast or Thunder have poor accuracy as the drawback, whereas attacks like Overheat or the ubiquitous Volt Tackle can't be used many times due to their rather immediately felt downsides.

When rematched, the team would get a huge overhaul.

Spoiler

Raichu, Static, Electric Gem:

- Volt Tackle
- Brick Break
- Fake Out
- Volt Switch


Jolteon, Volt Absorb, Choice Specs:

- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power (Ice)


Electivire, Motor Drive, Expert Belt:

- Volt Tackle
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- Cross Chop


Luxray, Intimidate, Choice Band:

- Volt Tackle
- Superpower
- Ice Fang
- Crunch


Rotom (Wash), Levitate, Leftovers:

- Discharge
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split


Zapdos, Lightningrod, Life Orb

- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power (Grass)
- Roost


The theme of risky, reckless abandon is gone. Movesets are tuned up and Manectric & Ampharos have been replaced. Movesets and abilities would swap around a bit for Doubles and Triples of course (Zapdos would lose Roost and Lightningrod, more spread moves, etc.). I figured having two legendaries would be a bit much for any in-game gym leader, so instead of Thundurus as well only Zapdos makes the team.

/laughably unnecessary amount of effort

I have always favored the Dragon type because its weakness is its resistance.

[Splash_King]

lol @ totodile

No particular theme to the movesets? No TM?

 

[Neosquid]

I'd give out HM Surf. Besides that, nothing really.

Also added the rematch.

 

[Splash_King]

... Are most PWT Gym Leaders' teams that bad? :lol:

 

[Neosquid]

They're arguably a lot worse.

 

[Splash_King]

Lookin' it up... Uh, you're quite right. :lol: The amount'a effort I put into my rematch team is even moar unnecessary than I initially thought.

Leader Dirge for top tier. ;D

[Neosquid]

It's Stuntank, I believe.

Also, yay, Sharpedo! <3

 

[Tragonight]

I believe it is Skuntank.

y u no maek sense trago

Dragon is super-effective against Dragon.

 

[Splash_King]

Clever ain't ya, figurin' how to break the censor already...

'Course it is, but ya said "it's weakness is it's resistance". Ain't no logic in that. :lol:

 

[OTheFool]

Dang, was just about to say that. Oh, by the way, CK, are you getting my PMs?

 

[Mr. MR]

I would be a Sandstorm gym leader with a Tyranitar as my main guy
