I looked and i couldn't find anything that resembled this thread i'm about to put up. but, if i missed something, and your going to close this thread, please, warn me b4 doing so, and tell me where the other group is that is like this. thank you. now, for the topic at hand. this group is kind of a strategy group. it's a place where you discuss your fave gym leaders, and ones that you hate. it's a place for sharing strategys you used to defeat these gym leaders, and, if someone doesn't have a pokemon that they need to defeat a gym leader. (for example, if someone with chimchar is trying to beat crasher wake, someone could lend, LEND mind you, not give, a turtwig). so yeah, i hope you guys like this group, and i hope it's not pathetic. thanks!
 
Here's what I used for an easy victory against Whitney in Silver.

I had a Slowpoke. I used Curse 6 times while her Clefairy was out. Then I Headbutted the thing to death. Afterwards, Miltank gave me no trouble at all.

I think you want social groups.
 
My fave gym leader is that one fighting gym leader chick in platinum. SHE'S SO EASY!!!!!
 
Overall, I like the Sinnoh Gym Leaders the best, but here are my specific favorites:

FAVORITES:

Jasmine - She sounds very friendly.
Winona - She has good Pokemon.
Wallace - He also has good Pokemon (except for Luvdisc).
Roark - He seems to be pretty smart, and I love the mining hat!
Fantina - She's so beautiful!
Byron - His Pokemon are awesome!

LEAST FAVORITES:

Brock - The anime really ruined him.
Misty - The anime really ruined her.
Giovanni - For obvious reasons.
Chuck - Never really liked him for some reason.
Wattson - He creeps me out.
Volkner - Overrated, and has a huge female fanbase. I know Roark does too, but Volkner is often made to be a homosexual by these crazy girls!
 
Hmm... I like Gardenia, Maylene, Crasher, and that ghost type person. Just because they were so easy to whoop with my Fire team (charmeleon, combusken, quilava) The ones after Gardenia I used my super awesome Typhlosion and my killer Electabuzz. I still am going through... but i need surf to take out Byron. Right now i'm delivering the package to Cynthia's mom/grandma (dunno which) I did not cheat by using the pokemon from other regions before getting the national dex; someone traded me them.
My entire team is made up of trades, so sometimes they don't obey me :)
 
I guess Volkner's supposed to have some sort of Cobain vibe. At least, that's what I get. (blond, rocker)

Anyway, Brock, Misty, and Whitney were obviously a challenge, but I was surprised how many times my ass was handed to me by Pryce. Tough old coot.
 
I had some Trouble against Byron in Platinum. I couldn't get past Magneton, and even when I did I was severely weakened by Flash cannon and Thunderbolt. I trained on iron Island for hours and then Caught a Gible, which evolved to Gabite and I taught it Fire Blast. After that, Both Magneton and Steelix fell before my Gabite, and Bastiodon nearly got me with 2 critical hit Metal bursts in a row, but eventually it went down with the others. After that, I was Unstoppable.
 
I had a VERY hard time beating Candice. To all of you, I BEAT HER USING ONLY TORTERRA AND NO YACHE BERRY! Woohoo! Half a thousand posts!
 
^Same here! My Garchomp did exactly that to Candice without any Yache berry
 
Hey spiny, mind tradin' me a gabite? you could just breed it and then trade. I'm workin' on makin' a team that will beat Byron, in my opinion, the hardest gym leader. the reason i have that opinion is cuz b4 i had plat 4 th DS i played it on th emulator. he was super hard and the final gym leader i beat b4... the incident. i beat Byron (Barley) and then after i was about to exit the gym, the emulator crashed. never played it again until i got it for the DS. so Gabite sounds cool, he killed byron once you evolved him, so yeah. i'm open for trading most tuesday mornings. (the wi-fi at our house is wacked, so i can only do it at the library witch has wi-fi. we go to it every morning for my sisters piano lessons from 11:00 to 12:00. tell me when you can trade, and i'll tell you if I can trade at that time. thx!

Rapidash (if you didn't choose Chimchar) and Floatzel/Gastrodon will turn Byron into a tame kitty. I beat his gym (and every trainer within the gym) without even healing my team after Iron Island. Just make sure you train your team well in Iron Island and get 'em over 40 (mine was nearing the 50's)

I actually had the hardest time with Gardenia, since I had only Staravia that was really effective. Damn me, choosing Turtwig in the beginning =/
 
Winona is really hard, one of the hardest Gym Leaders IMO. Her signature Pokémon is an Altaria, which has a 4x weakness to Ice-type, but at that point in the game, you can't catch an Ice-type wild. I eventually beat her with my powerful Aggron + Manectric 1-2 punch but that stupid Altaria actually did beat me several times beforehand.

My advice: when you arrive in Fortree try and get a friend to lend you a Snorunt or Sealeo at the right level (catching one wild in the Shoal Cave should work). Then use an Electric-type to take out Pelipper and Ice Ball can ramp up through the rest of her group.
 
by far the easiest gym leader in all of the games was Brawly. one spiritomb and game over man
 
Spiritomb doesn't exist in Gen. III. But Sableye could own Makuhita.
 
Whitney's Miltank was just... dear god don't let me play her again in SS. That piece of crap would just destroy me. I had to get like a few crits to beat it. >_>
