Thread: Gym Leader/Elite 4/Champion Discussion

Challenge mode:
Champion Iris; Hydreigon Lv. 81, Salamence Lv. 81, Aggron Lv. 81, Archeops Lv. 81, Lapras Lv. 81 Haxorus Lv. 83

Still no level variety? Sheesh.

Though I'm happy with Shauntal's team. Caitlin's though? Ugh. I saw Metagross coming from a mile away.

Psssh. If their idea of making the game 'harder' is mainly increasing the levels, then that's lame. All it means is more grinding, no more skill.

Holy mother of cow.

I am actually a bit sad that she doesn't have Garchomp...

High levelled Salamence for Iris in combination with her other high level Pokemon seems like they might be tough work.

Wow, Grimsley finally gets rid of that stupid Liepard in challenge mode. No more FAKE OUT and then faint to whatever attack you decide to burp in it's direction on the next turn.

Not really. Just use Ice. I was more hoping for better AI (Switching and such), and more items for them to use.

I was referring to Iris, sorry for the confusion.

I agree that Marshal should've been the new champion, or anything other than another dragon-themed champion considering Lance already exists. (Not to mention that dragons are a predictable and lame choice for "the ultimate trainer") A fighting-type champion could prove how far the type has come since its miserable 1st Gen days.

So, there's no Gym Leader rematches?

Everyone seems to forget about the world tournament, where you fight all the Gym Leaders, ALL of them.

It seems to me that challenge mode can be achieved in the game without needing to restart the entire story again.

On another note, a post on the leak page that you were able to challenge the Stiration Gym Leader trio in single battles after beating the main story, but there was no mention of this on any of the other fan websites that leak this information. There was also no mention of where you fight the Striation trio or what pokemon they have in their rosters. What could this mean?

Saying another Dragon Champion is predictable but no one guessing Iris is ironic.

If Gym Leaders have a possibility of not being in their Gyms upon entrance, then where else could they be? I wonder if it's dependent on the time of day or an actual event, like Clay in B/W.
