Top 5 WORST Pokemon Gym Leaders

[@Pancakes_Master]

Lt. Surge was easy because he made an electric gym right next to a cave with over powered diglett and dugtrio

[@AlldaylongRock]

+Mr. Sewaddle I remember gettin to Vermilion and before entering SS Anne bein like: let me go to diglett cave and get ma diglett.. then i went to SS Anne, grinded it a bit and swept Lt Surge

[@dagmak5988]

He's really hard in Yellow tbh. Partially due to level cap, and partially due to his Raichu knowing frickin Mega Punch and Mega Kick. But in Fire Red/Leaf Green 3 Magnitudes from Graveler was enough to crush Surge.

[@gamegod6859]

and there's sandshrew before the 2nd badge

[@princessrainbowpeach3937]

Yeah and Misty I never like her at or on the show glad she gone.

[@ValiTheSaltMan]

DON'T SAY THIS AGAIN HE IS AN ASSHOLE IT FUCKING ONESHOT MY TEAM

[@CiabanItReal]

Nintendo dose a poor job with Grass type gyms in general, Grass type pokemon do well when they are fucking with your status, leach seeding you and draining your life. Breloom with effect spore is awesome.

[@shiwwzzheng8774]

+Karthus maybe foresight?on his machop?

[@kmaple9]

shiww zzheng Oh wow, that foresight will surely make his Bulk Up hit. Brawly's AI is pretty bad, so he'll spam Foresight and Bulk Up at the worst times. He'll often use Foresight three times in a row against grass-types, even.

[@Charlotte_beans]

he does that to mock people on ruby (version exclusive)

[@zeinktm8317]

[@indiejacob]

Every gym leader in Pokemon X & Y was a total joke. Boom shaka laka.

[@SarenaMain]

I know! well at least the old generation gym leaders are somewhat better the X and Y's gym leaders

[@GloomyFish]

I have to agree - I didn't have any problems with any of them! Or with the elite four and champion too

[@lugialover709]

Me neither. I hope Omega Ruby and Alpha Sappire are a bit harder.

[@connorpekarek9921]

Yeah, I had Delphox at lv.43 by the time I fought Ramos and totally one-shot all of his pokemon without getting hit

[@UnstopableUrsaring]

also i believe the gyms get progressively easier the second gym was actually the most challenging rock type gym leader so i guess that may be a redeeming quality if that helps

[@SirMalorak]

It has been explained in the Anime that gym leaders assess the skill level of the trainer they're facing by the number of badges and thus use different Pokemon. So who knows, Falkner might be a badass leader if he were allowed to use his proper team. Or he just sucks who knows :I

[@KingShadowOmega]

This was sort of hinted at in the game too. In B2W2, Cheron uses weak pokemon, when a) you already know he has stronger pokemon and b) they mention how he wasn't using his actual team. So, this is sort of confirmed both in anime and in-game now.

[@LordThomasPassion]

Plus look at the PWT. Choose any leader tourney or above, the attendent at the desk might as well say "prepare your anus".

You could just get a Geodude or Rocky the Onix

[@aylmaoxdxddd5687]

***** Its not that Chiko is bad, it just has competition from all the other grass types in Jotho. (thats on of the main reasons it doesnt get picked) And who can pass up a early game fire type(Cyndaquil) lol.

[@saccharay]

+AGGRON JUPITER volkner is also one I litaray only used torterra too easy

[@cubedmelons876]

Idk. I'd say the games have gone up and down in terms of difficulty. While playing through Blue version on the VC, everything was an utter pushover even with pretty low levels. Meanwhile, Platinum and White 1 are still kind of challenging if I don't grind. After that things get easy again with B/W 2 and all the 6th gen games.

[@jessehill2241]

NR Awesome; Erika is a really easy gym leader. In fact, one of the easiest in the Pokémon red, blue and green versions and also the remakes too. She did get harder in gold, silver and crystal but it wasn't by much as you were already as high or higher than her Pokémon by then and you were also the Johto champion too

[@BriIliance]

Jesse Hill cynthia is by far hardest champion in Pokemon pearl and black 2 and white2 where you can battle her again in a resort house

[@BriIliance]

Jesse Hill and Sun and moon if you heard the new news

[@cooldude56g]

Wulfric in X & Y. He was the last gym leader of the game, so you'd think he'd also be the hardest of them. But no, because everyone, and I mean EVERYONE one-shotted all his pokemon. Nintendo, come on, who DOESN'T have a fire, fighting,rock, or steel type at that point in the game?!

[@Snapdraco]

I forgot he even was a gym leader :[

[@anglim45]

Me. I swept him with Diggersby + Hammer Arm.

[@PsychoBensTV]

***** Wulfric, had a lv 55, lv 56 and a 59... no where near 39-40.....

[@CommanderJuicy]

The trainers in the gym were harder than wulfric purely because I didn't one shot one of their pokemon.

[@AwesomePuppysROBLOX]

I OHKO'ed all of Wulfric's Pokemon with Fire Blast + Close Combat.

[@davidrossington9756]

Skyla. Right before you get to her is a giant cave full of electric types, and her main pokemon is water/flying... How is that hard?

[@mateobonavento3939]

+David Rossington Skyla was a huge let down.

[@Woodenfan]

Here's my thoughts on this list: 5: I sorta struggled with him, but he's pretty easy. Rematch team's a little more fun, though. 4: I still struggle with that Nosepass. Rock Tomb's a little more kooky than you might think. Also, rematch team's more fun :) 3. Swords Danced Farfetch'd Acrobatics. 3 hit KO. Depressing. 2. ...yeah, I never struggled with this guy. Gym's painfully easy to get through too. 1. Haven't fought him yet in Yellow, I'll give you my thoughts soon. EQ his butt. My easiest gym leaders? Wulfric, possibly Viola, pretty much all in ORAS...

This really should be called "Top 5 easiest gym leaders to conquer" Don'tcha Agree!!

[@JUNKYNITE]

Worst gym is Wulfric IMO. All you need is ethier Mega charizard either version or Mega Lucario which both pokemon you can instantly receive and his team is fucking baby food X3. not to mention his Cryogonal has bad defense. his avalugg has bad special defense,his abomasnow is 4X weak to fire and they are all slow as fuck pokemon X_X. they should of at least given his abomasnow the abomasite to make him look more intimidating!

[@Delta-ic2hb]

JUNKYNITE He was so easy that my level 64 skitty using return killed every of his pokemon

[@theletters9623]

JUNKYNITE at least he says that he may be a total pushover

[@ErukaFrogSoulEater]

JUNKYNITE He also was on my list. Here the list is: The WEAKEST IMO: #10 Every single rock-type gym in existance They are all effectively the same. Maybe it's hard if you take the fire starters, but as a girl who either takes water or grass type starters, it's EASY. #9 Falkner Just what you said. #8 Olympia and Wulfric They are at the same spot because I have the same issue with both. They are 7th and 8th gym leaders and have THREE POKEMON. Is this some kind of joke? This tradition debuted in gen 5, and I hope it ends soon because it just makes it waaayyy too easy. How about this Team to make them harder? Olympia: Gallade, Guardevoir, Sigilyph, Metagross, Meowstic; Wulfric: Abomasnow, Walrein, Jynx, Mamoswine, Froslass, Weavile #7 Norman OK, why does everyone say this battle is so hard? His gym leader position has the same issue as his signature Pokemon Slaking. The ability. I guess it was included to keep Slaking from being unstoppable, but it didn't only stop it from being unstoppable, but made it one of the weakest Pokemon in the game. Its stats are good, but effectively, it has only half of its HP, Attack/Special Attack, and Defense/Special Defense thanks to its freaking ability. And people complain about Regigigas. This gym was actually very easy to me. #6 Giovanni This guy is not my final eighth gym leader on this list, but he is the most dissapointing. You've fought a Team of villains, and now, it is time for the final battle with the boss. Sounds cool - but then you realize he only uses incredibly weak Pokemon. Seriously - a Rhydon is the strongest Pokemon a gym leader in Kanto has! #5 Drayden My next pick shows perfectly how dissapointing last gym leaders can be. He only has three Pokemon, two of them being awfully weak, and one, his Haxorus, lacking good moves (X-Scissor is its only move with a base power over 70). I mean, he has a goddamn Haxorus but uses it so poorly that all you need to beat it up is a strong Ice-type. I was like "OMG! Eighth gym! Dragon-type gym! This is going to be so hard!" And all I got was this joke of a gym leader. #4 Byron On my Monotype Ice run, I've beat him up easily with Ice types. He's just incredibly weak. He said he is a challenge, compared to his son (who is the first gym leader), but I've never actually had one of my Pokemon faint and never needed to use a healing item in the gym battle. #3 Flannery I beat her up with Ice types. Nothing but Ice types. And all had a weakness to fire. There's really no excuse of her being weak. #2 Blaine Again, just what you said. #1 Tate and Liza The only gym leaders that have never inflicted damage on my Pokemon. Seriously!! They only have two Pokemon, Solrock and Lunatone, both having a base stat total of 440, which is insanely bad. The only thing that's standing out about them is that their Pokemon are a bit overleveled, but that does not make up for them only having two weak Pokemon as the seventh gym leaders!!! Even the trainers in the gym are a bigger challenge than freaking Tate & Liza!

[@ErukaFrogSoulEater]

***** He NEEDS more Pokemon! Eight gym leader and only three Pokemon. WHAT THE FUCK!?

[@ErukaFrogSoulEater]

***** Actually they only had Xatu and Claydol in Emerald, a game made to be harder than the originals. And I did not have trouble in Emerald either, I one-shotted all of their Pokemon. In Ruby, Saphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Saphire, they only had two, as I said, base 440 stat total Pokemon. And in Emerald they may be harder but are still easy as fuck and get one-shotted all the time. I have never not one-shotted one of their Pokemon.

[@diglettthelord1046]

I hope we get a better grass leader... Milo: hey!

[@SSBBplayer1]

To be honest, any Gym Leader is easy when you have the right Type advantages. I personally only had troubles with Gym Battles when I get a new Gen Pokemon game where I'm not familiar with some of the new Pokemon's Types (mostly duel types)

[@pileofhazelnuts]

Well some gym leaders can be a pain in the arse even if you have the right types. Take candice from gen 4 for example, her team has a medicham (psychic/fighting) along with a Pokemon much more overleveled compared to the area/trainers you're in.

[@SSBBplayer1]

I personally never had problems with that Gym. But I know for a fact that everyone has troubles with certain Gyms where as some do not so maybe it is pretty difficult but I was just over leveled at that time? I don't remember, its been awhile since I last played 4th Gen. However I do find it extremely odd that she have that Pokemon when shes a Ice Type Gym Leader.

[@pileofhazelnuts]

I'm going to presume you chose a Chimchar? It's easier with a fire type but there weren't many options (Piplup was my starter due to making the elite four easier). Also some of the gyms/elite four members do have Pokemon that are not specifically their type. Flint had buneary, steelix and drifloon on him as well as the two fire types. Candice I struggled on due to being underleved and I didn't have the right types. I also struggled on the fighting one (sorry forgot her name, she's only the third leader and I beat her ages ago) due to underleveled Pokemon.

[@SSBBplayer1]

Actually, I also started with Piplup, I'm starting to think I was overleveled since I don't recall struggling at any point of the game. But if that was the case it must have taken me forever to beat the game due to how slow it was plus adding up all that grinding from wild Pokemon.....yikes 0_0 Anyways I can understand that some of them battles could be difficult even with the right Pokemon, it just doesn't seem right to judge how bad a Gym was simply due being able to be be swept by certain types when most Gyms fall under that category. What was with 4th Gen Gym Leaders and Elites having odd out of Types Pokemon? Cynthia I can understand since shes the Champion but the others not so much, although if I recall they changed Flints Team around to all Fire Types in Platinum so I guess I can let it slide, lol.

[@pileofhazelnuts]

+BlueWolfGamer I spent more time filling my pokedex than actually grinding, it took too long (unless I was after a specific Pokemon). I managed to beat the elite four underleveled thanks to my empoleon. I am planing to start the game again but I'm waiting for my brother to get pearl/platinum to trade across my dragonite. I also find it unfair that in platinum Flint changed. It made the e4 much too easy.

[@ZerryBerrytheSpaceRaccoon]

All types are great in their own special way (yes, that even includes Bug types and Grass types).

[@pileofhazelnuts]

Grass types can be very powerful if duel typed and put with the right moves. Same with bug types being able to defeat one of the most op types in the game. I normally choose a grass type (that excludes gen 4 where I chose piplup to make the elite four easier).

[@ryrysamurai92]

most to all Gym Leaders were easy to veteran players. All you need is a decent understanding of type advantages, and seasoned players seldom needed even that. So yeah, depending on your preferences of Pokemon you train, some are bound to be way easier than others. For example, people almost unanimously call out Whitney in Gen 2 as one of the most frustrating trainers in the game, but the game gives you plenty of ways to defeat her. You can trade for a machop in the the Goldenrod mart, you can use headbutt to catch a Heracross in Azalea town, or you can travel to the route ahead and catch a Nidoran and teach it double kick Bayleef trainers can status Miltank easily and it also has access to screens if I remember correctly. A Gastly caught in Sprout Tower can Spite Miltanks Rollouts until it's run out of PP, Drowzee, Gastly or Hoot Hoot can use Hypnosis... You can catch a rock type in the Cave between Azalea and Violet..anyway the point is, it's all about perspective. The Hardest trainer for some is the Easiest to others

[@arwingaron64]

With complete honesty.. this is one of my favorite channels... Period. (period)

[@SuperSparrow45]

2:30 Hey, you quit with these puns, or I'm calling the Police.

[@TheOriginalJphyper]

Lt. Surge from Yellow comes to mind. He has only one Pokemon: a Raichu. This makes him easy pickings for a Sandshrew or Diglestt, especially since you'd just recieved the Dig TM, which, at the time, had the same base power as Earthquake.Then there's Wulfric. I don't even remember what he had because my underleveled unevolved Fennekin one-shot everything. He even says at the start of the battle that it would probably be the easiest fight we'd ever have.

[@JohnWatsonPuppetChannel]

Bugsy from the 2nd generation game is easy if you have a good strong fire or flying type. He has a Metapod & Kakuna. Scyther, however, could be a pain, but as long as your fire or flying type is strong enough, he can be easy.

[@ErukaFrogSoulEater]

***** I beat him up with my Bayleef at Lvl 18. Literally nothing else. And I only used one super potion in the Remakes. In the original games, I did not even need a healing item.

[@nine_tails137]

Funny how Falkner uses a Pidgey and a Pidgeotto in the Games, yet he uses a Dodrio, Hoothoot, and Pidgeot in the anime! Seriously, What's up with Dat!?

[@Dramatic_Gaming]

You're expecting consistency between the anime and the games?

[@nine_tails137]

Dramatic_Gaming Well, YES! I mean in the Games, Falkner is cake, while in the Anime, he at least puts up more of a fight. Although Yes! I Know he's the first Gym Leader you face, and the Earlier Gyms are supposed to be easy for newcomers, but still.....

[@canedy999]

actually its been confirmed that gym leaders use less Pokemon and lower level Pokemon the less gym badges a challenger has, so he used more Pokemon in the anime most likely because Ashe had more badges then when we challenged him in the game basically (although i cant remember how many Ashe had at the time since i havent watched episode where he challenged Falkner in forever.

[@chrissitu4069]

Ash is a much stronger trainer for Falker to battle in the anime

[@kidinjacket]

because dodrio and Pidgeot are both very high level for the first gym so they had no choice but to use pidgey and Pidgeotto. but I wonder why he didn't have a hoothoot too

[@MisterKnosen]

Roxanne has the ultimate disadvantage. Water smashes her. Grass smashes her. Even the fire type smashes her, as your Combusken learns Double Kick >.>

[@Ephilias]

With the "Yea, I went there" and the super-fast-going-back-to-subject, that fire joke went really well.

[@TweesterREO]

Great list, I agree with each of these entries. Falkner's team is very disappointing since it consists of one evolutionary line, and there are no Johto Pokemon on his team. Why not put a Hoothoot on his team at least? Any of the Rock-type gym leaders, except Brock, would be a good candidate for this list. I would choose either Roxanne or Roark. Roxanne is a good choice because at least Roark has a team of 3 Pokemon. I totally forgot Ramos was even a gym leader. His team is definitely a pushover like most Grass-type specialists. At this point in the game, your team most likely consists of fully evolved Pokemon and Grass-types have a lot of weaknesses. It doesn't help that none of his team can combat any of the weaknesses like Flying, Fire, and Ice. Brycen would've been my number one pick. His team consists of 2 Pokemon we already battled multiple times with the other trainers in the gym. So they're no surprises. Beartic is the only unfamiliar face, but he is only the evolved form of Chubchoo who we also fought against in the gym. I totally forgot Blaine and I agree with his position. There are so many Water-types in Kanto and his team doesn't have a moveset that can combat the Water weakness. Just use Surf the entire battle and his team will turn into a pile of ash.

[@Abyss_WaIker]

I don't really think it was fair to put any of the first Gym Leaders on this because they are purposely easy. Good vid anyways

[@VampirePrinceKRS]

they can be difficult if you don't know what you're doing. i know when i first had Blue and Silver i lost to both Brock and Faulkner sometimes and sometimes multiple times. i think i even lost to Roxanne sometimes too.

[@Oooga-Chaka]

Delphox for the win!!!

[@slgremory]

To be totally honest, my answer is going to be different from somebody else's answer. Early gym leader difficulty is often based on what starter you chose, and how you are deciding to play the game. If you are looking for specific pokemon to fill your team, you may have a harder time (assuming first playthrough) because you won't know WHAT those pokemon will be, or WHEN you will get them. If you're one of the types that catches everything you see and trains every pokemon you get on your first run through, you're going to be underleveled most likely. Any of these things can be a factor in making gym leaders harder for one person over another. Or, if you're a pokemon veteran, you know what types will be inherently good and what pokemon on each route may prove useful down the road. It's easier to pick ahead of time what to train and when. For example, if there's a grass type gym coming up, don't use your fire type until you get to the gym, because your others won't have a chance to sweep for EXP like your fire type will. that way, you don't have an unbalanced team. No matter which way you slice it, what makes a gym leader difficult or easy is entirely subjective and will be different for every person.

[@dragonboytsubasa]

Having started with a Chikorita in the original Gold/Silver/Crystal games, I'll have to disagree with you on Faulkner. He was really hard to beat even though I caught a Geodude in that frigging pitch black cave just outside Violet City and levelled it up so it had Rock Throw. I agree with you on the others though, and I also think Lt. Surge was one the easier gym leaders. All I had to do if I was at a type disadvantage was catch a Diglett in Diglett Cave and I was good to go. Or a Geodude in Mt. Moon. Or both.

[@mlc9480]

In my opinion, Cilan Cress and Chili were the absolute worst. I honestly expected I'd have to fight all three of them individually, that would have been a better challenge, but nope. Just fight one and you get a badge. They're so bad they didn't even show up to fight Team Plasma like the actual good gym leaders in Black and White.

[@hallowedtwilight4571]

actually they got hold up by the shadow triad

[@Eric-ft2oi]

IcycleCrystalWorld Doesn't exactly excuse them. The Pan trio when fully evolved are pretty tough, and the shadow triad aren't the toughest people out there.

I played her a month ago on Crystal and I had a Pidgeotto in the lead in my team and one if it moves was Whirlwind and I used it as soon as the battle started and switched her Clefairy with her Miltank and took out that first and it never used Rollout and then I swept her Clefairy with my Quilava. I'll admit, she did beat my Pidgeotto though. I forgot what moves she used though. But I beat Whitney this way though.

[@FIRO347]

King Cold Yes, it was. But the last time I battled her, she didn't get to use it once on me.

[@bluerodwinner8362]

ROLLOUT,ROLLOUT!!!ROLLOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@1UPMushroom]

Bluerodwinner it sucked :( i had a butterfree!!!!!!! x4 weak to roll out

[@chekinemi951]

one thing I hate about pokemon is how water types can get burned XD pokemon logic

[@1UPMushroom]

***** DONT FORGET TO BRING A BURN HEAL!

[@trainerred8225]

makenna lee fire can boil water, ya know.

[@슬라임클리어-k3d]

Also fire types can be frozen... Why do dis to us Nintendo!?

XxSpectacularGamingApplexX and ***** finally some people understand XD

[@chekinemi951]

Kenneth Morse I wasn't thinking about that thank you for reminding me :p

[@bencecsernus]

The worst gym leader is sabrina because she didn't used me! (Not really.)

[@sywonr]

Kill it before it lays eggs and tell me where are those children!!!! *throws out gengar* I will do it...

[@bencecsernus]

SywonRivers Rivers Hypno's PEDOPHILE POWER prevents taking damage. (i don't lay eggs.Only i can exit as a pedophile Hypno.)

*Takes master ball catches * burn baby burn!!! *burns masterball *

[@bencecsernus]

[@familyguy578]

Falkner was actually a pain for me. Often. He has a power advantage over Chikorita outright and his Mud-Slap can whittle down Cyndaquil/Quilava. I often went to Dark Cave and caught a Geodude, or traded Bellsprout for Onix, and leveled either or both till they learned Rock Throw for no hassle.

[@TheDeadlySaint6396]

Awesome video it had great arguments for each of the gym leaders and was hilarious

[@corriedebeer799]

the girl making these videos is hot.

[@onewhowizards9848]

+Corrie De Beer Yeah that beard is sexy.

[@corriedebeer799]

It is actually just a comment on how feminine this guy looks.

[@pileofhazelnuts]

+Corrie De Beer .. He doesn't look THAT feminine.. When I first began watching I didn't even think he looked feminine at all..

[@desfefe]

+Corrie De Beer That's axl rose...

[@rickybobbie4619]

+cora newton you're a child

[@shrektheogre4349]

The grass one from platinum. Seriously, anyone who chose Chimchar would absolutely wreck her gym, without taking any hits.

[@kaickf.r.goncalves2846]

I chose Piplup, and even with that, I beat her preety easy...

[@shrektheogre4349]

I think Chimchar is the best starter, since when your rival fully evolved piplup into Empoleon, it becomes ice type if I'm not mistaken.

[@shrektheogre4349]

Or part Ice

[@kaickf.r.goncalves2846]

Nathan Benson No, it gains Steel type, but either way, it would result in a doubl weakness against fire.

[@shrektheogre4349]

Ah ok

[@ShinyArcanine713]

one of the hardest gym is Whitney that milktank kills you with that rollout and body slam

[@dylansinner6076]

I got a Miltank named Milkshake with those two moves, Surf, and Milk Drink just to show off my rage of Whitney to everyone.

[@Abdul54cp]

in NU i wreaked a whole team with whitney's miltank it had all her moves

[@TheKingOfFlub]

I laughed so much harder than I should have at that "fired" joke XD

[@boyzo93]

I don't care what y'all say about Falkner, but he's one of the most badass looking Gym Leader and he also has stronger Pokemon when you re-battle him in HGSS and B2W2

[@androidhacking1018]

4:42 you actually should have brought a burn heal lolz

[@RainThunder64]

Lolz

[@CarKidTj]

[@jaredcanter5026]

well, got to admit, Roxanne is hot

[@Ephilias]

"Every Gym, Leader, particularly Sabrina, was pretty easy..." "Hum, excuse me HOW PARTICULARLY? Did I hear that correctly?" *rewinds video* "Oh I did in fact not hear that correctly."

[@summerwimmer9329]

Roxanne was actually really hard for me to beat when I played Emerald and Omega Ruby because in both games I chose Torchic and wasn't very smart about the type disadvantages. When I got Omega Ruby, I "cheated" because when I got the game, it came with a free Dragonite that was already level 50. It didn't obey me too much but it got me through the gym. After that I never really used it, even when I could get Pokemon level 50 or under to obey me

[@InuYashaandKagomeROK]

Wake in gen 4. So damn easy with Torterra... Wait, almost ALL of them were shit if you had Torterra.

[@InuYashaandKagomeROK]

Grass Knot?

[@InuYashaandKagomeROK]

***** Ah. I never could use Empoleon. Great typing, but in Gen 4, it was outclassed.

[@arthurbillson9016]

Naoto Shirogane Is My Idol! ...infernape...lvl 60. (waz 7-8 at time, had no idea the F**K waz doing...ended up 78 bfr lozing game ;_;

[@snailymitch]

Yeah torterra is a pretty damn powerfull pokemon. His defense is really high + his attack is high. I dont care about speed since he can learn earthquake. Anyway if you had to face a flying or ghost type I just used leafstorm :P

[@slgremory]

I always ran Infernape. Made it harder during the main game, but sweeping the elite 4 with close combat and flare blitz was a joke.

[@zlectricute1906]

Falkner and Roxanne are both first gym leaders. What do you expect?

[@TheGrandRevo]

Brock was hard cuz ur very limited on his weakness Folkner is cake regardless of weakness Roxanne was fair, maybe cuz i didn't grind or Rock tomb was a bitch The miner guy? He was fair aswell Cranidos is annoying but CMON this is the 3rd first Rock gym Trio from B/W Were bad because of how limited u are in general to pokemon Viola was freaking easy

[@BenjaminWirtz]

You know that would have made it interesting? If the gym leader you face first is based on what starter you have. They would have the type advantage, so a bulbasaur would face Blaine and a Chramander would face Misty.

[@munkeyweb]

+Benny W *points @ BW*

[@unknownskigo]

the first gym is like that in Pokémon black and white 1

[@andreaflorea7743]

ummmmmmmmm..... Black and white did this... lmfao.........

[@EZKSupernova]

I always thought Erica from Gen 1 was the easier because you can easily have a Charizard by that point, which will destroy her effortlessly, or you can catch a Growlithe or Vulpix right outside the city and use that to destroy her.

[@MasterofPokemonGing]

I cant with your puns xd My grandma saw me watching your videos and she said you are beautiful.

[@TheGrandRevo]

The gym badge names in 6th gen were garbage, Fairy badge? psychic badge? Bug badge?? Can already guarantee those 3 types aren't returning

[@lunatehplayah1016]

Personally, I'd say.. Literally all Sinnoh Gym Leaders!!! Roark could be swept easily, Gardenia was a HUGE pushover if you chose Chimchar, Maylene was easy because her Lucario can be OHKOed by a Monferno or Infernape, Wake was easy to defeat (despite the hard puzzle) if you caught Shinx and trained it (Same goes with Budew), Fantina was just a pushover (despite her Drifblum's Aftermath), Byron was easy if you had a fire, ground, or fighting time, which at the time you would, Candice was EASY if you had a fire, fighting, steel, or rock type, which you probably did at the time, and Volkner was just a push-over!

[@lunatehplayah1016]

This is from my NUZLOCKE in Pearl. My NUZLOCKE!!! I only had to send them away if I faced my rival.

[@noodlesnoodlechicken7752]

But I love volkner

[@lunatehplayah1016]

I mean worst as in the ones that put up the worst fight.

[@lunatehplayah1016]

***** Wait... You agree that even Gardenia was a pushover, and you chose Piplup? Well, considering you could've already had a flying type then *cough cough* STARLY *cough cough* that's understandable.

[@noodlesnoodlechicken7752]

Volkner is not a push over idiot he's the best of the electric and all sinnoh and I seriously litterely love him

[@nitsujanimations7212]

Top 5 wersh Jeym Leydersh

[@visualspark6308]

I love Pokemon Diamond and Pearl but I think the main problem I have with it is the fact that none of the gym leaders go in order by difficulty making the game unbalanced. It's like the 3rd gym leader is hard then suddenly the last gym leader is easier to beat than the first.

[@pokelynke8232]

I saw Flannery in your thumbnail and though "oh no he didn't". You redeemed yourself sir.

[@sherlocked6416]

Just when you think they're super easy they kick your butt in the PWT in BW2

[@RubyTiger18]

-.- I like your videos too much...I like your voice too much...if you had lets plays, i'd develop an unhealthy obssession with your channel (In the most non creepy way possible) *Grabs you and pleads* AMG Please tell me you'll make some pokmeon lets plays!!!!!

[@danarki7474]

0:01 OBJECTION! 8 gym leaders every game? *shakes head* Gen VII has island leaders! There arent 8 islands! Tell the truth!

[@gr33nriver77]

Someone didn't look at the date of the video....

[@keishawnjohnson9701]

there island leaders not gym leaders

[@gr33nriver77]

It's a 100% confirmed

[@gr33nriver77]

***** It's confirmed

[@gr33nriver77]

***** It's in the leaks. Which has been proven thus far. It's basically confirmed Gym Leaders are no longer a thing

[@qs-3523]

Havent your heard? The Bird is the word Bird-bird-bird-bid is the word!

[@NightfallShadow]

If I was a Gym Leader for the game, my pokemon would be ( and I would be the worlds first 6 Pokemon Team Gym Leader! Gardevoir - Psychic Fairy - Make sure to have moonblast or whatever, psychic and two other support moves Sandslash - It has Fissure ( because Gen 1), Earthquake, rapid spin and Ice Claw Pangoro - Whatever is good for Pangoros. Agislash - Standard Agislash setup Vaporeon - Bubble Beam, Probably a Shield of some kind and status booster or debuff Mega Beedrill - Yeah, Mega Beedrill with Protect, Fellstinger, Poison Jab and U- Turn.

[@jshaxxpapi]

Misty was VERY easy

[@mollyawesomeness3572]

I honestly think Brawly (From Alpha Sapphire) was pretty easy. I defeated him with just one Pokemon.

[@f0rm0r]

Molly Awesomeness he was a bit of a challenge in R/S/E... the gym puzzle was fun, if not too challenging.

[@mollyawesomeness3572]

Formor Immington Yeah, it was pretty fun.

[@Delta-ic2hb]

Molly Awesomeness Same I sweeped him whit my level 14 skitty.

[@xoguy23]

InfiniteAmpharosPlaysMc Isnt Brawly a fighting type Gym Leader?

[@mollyawesomeness3572]

Totally Not A SpyScout Yes

[@SlimeBlueMS]

dude, wtf is with the amount of dislikes on the top 5 worst starters video? no comments? iduno im just confused

[@appaloosahill4499]

He disabled comments on that video to stop people raging because of him bashing on piplup saying " ITS WEAK TO ELECTRIC FIGHTING AND GROUND first off no it's not weak to electric ( least not till gen 6) and you have moves to cover torterra and infernape

[@ZooPeriorTooAlllllll]

+Appaloosa Hill i hated the fact he put Pikachu first

[@ogxsaintnick]

+superiortoalll it's true though and pikachu is actually weak overall and I hate that because raichu looks like a beast but he gets taken out in 3-4 hits

[@nickvang7]

Appaloosa Hill. Empoleon has always been weak to Electric.

[@FranzoOnLine]

Some gym leaders and elite 4 members can be really easy if you have an appropriate counter for them. Koga and Agatha, for example, are really easy if you have a pokemon with safeguard (defeated both using only a Butterfree on LG). And let's not talk about Norman's Slaking going down to pokemon with protect and toxic/dig because of the Truant ability.

[@cparle87]

I laughed harder at the "ride a goat in real life" thing than I should have.

[@spinodino641]

I laughed so hard when you showed Arnie as Mr. Freeze.

[@haridas1046]

Mega Secptile Weakness •Bug,Flying,Ice, Fairy,Poison,Dragon Mega Latioas Weakness •Dark,Bug,Ghost,Ice,Dargon,Fairy Got damn I hate poison,bug,fairy types..

[@sarahfields288]

You riding a goat bit made me laugh so much

[@Koji.Lee.29]

This was the first abrandontothepast video i watched back in 2014

[@hikaru-live]

Even worse in BW2 where you can get a Riolu before the first gym and a Magnemite before the second. Train them up to a Lucario and Magnezone and you can sweep the rest of the game.

[@bigjalapeno7061]

Thats what I have my Blaziken for

[@Hilipinapixili]

Usually I find that gym leaders get easier and easier as you get through the game because more options are open to you. I say usually because there's sometimes the odd-one out like Claire or Juan, with his annoying double-teaming Kingdra. That being said I recall Volkner from Gen4 being specially disappointing. The first time I fought him he literally didn't touch me. I beat all his team with a single Pokemon and didn't receive a single scratch. Also, pretty much all Gym Leaders from Gen6 are really easy. Having said that, Blaine is definitely one of the easiest Gym leaders ever. A pity, because he's also one of my favorites design-wise.

[@ItalFontas06]

"Grass types just have too many weaknesses" My Entire grass team about to commit some murder.

[@xcalibur64]

The worst gym leaders are all of the Kalos leaders except Valerie..... Dem kawaii eyes!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Trinthegay]

Winona DESTORYED me with that god damn Dragon Dance Altaria,and i had NO pokemon who could learn Ice Beam,you think the best idea would be to grinf,but i just hope for a paralasys

[@Fireluigi1225]

"Maybe we'll get a better grass-type gym leader next time" Oh look, a Mallow!

[@baconkattid1944]

Falkner was a pain with his mud slap

[@nihilist1680]

Oh the memories of Pokemon silver, gold and crystal... The best pokemon game ever... I remeber playing it over and over again for 3-4 years when I was a little kid.... My favourite gen 2 pokemons were and still are: Umbreon, Scizor, Hitmontop, Steelix, Misdreavus, Kingdra and Ho-Oh..... And I will always be frustrated because I have never owned Octillery.... Once I saw Remoraid but wasn't able to catch it because I had too strong pokemons :( Not that it's my favourite pokemon, but it's one of the pokemons that I never owned and I've had almost all pokemons in my life...

[@iron1349]

Blaine probably realized how stupid putting a fire-type gym on an island without a bridge or ferry connection to the mainland was, so he hid the key to his gym in the secret house.

[@_Gorc5647]

that fire pun deserved a like

[@Alex-yy5wo]

When you said fruity pebbles I laughed so hard!

[@kaylabunny6288]

Whitney..... YO F*CK MIL FURKIN' TANKS!!!!

[@drewofdc4636]

I hate the fight with Whitney for a WAY different reason than others. I hate it because when I was playing the Jhoto games, I heard from everyone and their dog that she was a nightmare, and when I got to her with a quilava, geodude, and other pokemon I usually didn't use, I was able to destroy her with those two. Heck, her clefairy was harder because it used energy ball on geodude, and he survived with two HP. I was dissapointed and always sigh when others rant about her and say how "Hard" she is.

[@Sgoz92]

Lt. Surge because you can catch a Dugtrio in the cave next to the gym to beat his Raichu which is all he has.

[@morecowbell7868]

"Maybe will get a better grass type gym leader next time" hahaha HAHAHAH

[@wimbojimbo6389]

Skyla was stupid easy. All of her pokemon were weak to electric and her ace pokemon had a quad weakness to electric. And guess whats in the route right next to her gym? Zebstrika.

[@Phoenix_Blader_93]

Going by what you said, all gyms are weak cause all their pokemon have a common weakness
