So I have been trying to beat Samson the fighting gym leader and I can kill 5 Pokemon every single try, but either his conkeldurr or his Hawlucha always sweeps the remaining members of my team. As well I am stuck in the circus. My current team is:
Greninja (protean) lv 67-Impish with water shuriken, extrasensory, dark pulse, and shadow sneak.
Mawile(shear force) lv 65-Lonely with play rough, iron head, sucker punch, and strength.
Arcanine(intimidate) lv 66-Hardy with Crunch, Flame thrower, Flare Blitz, and outrage.
Galventula (compound eyes) Impish lv 66- Discharge, Bug Buzz, Sucker Punch, and cut.
Gallade(Justified) Serious lv 66- Psycho cut, close combat, night slash, and Swords Dance.
Flygon(levitate) gentle lv 65- Dragon Claw, earth power, rock slide, and Crunch.
When it comes to my current strategy, I have been leading with arcanine against his haryama. Flame thrower is a 3 hit KO,and makes it good work and takes minimal damage to arcanine. Next he generally sends in Meinshao which I fight with Gallade. First turn a swords dance, plus a justified boost from knock off puts me at +3 attack. After that I can generally kill either conkeldurr, or hawlucha, then chesnaught. Blaziken then kills gallade, Flygon kills Blaziken with Earth power. After that I just get swept by hawlucha or conkeldurr.
I was wondering what tips you guys could give me based on my team, I have other Pokemon in the PC, but I would prefer not to train them. What has worked for you guys when beating this gym. Any tips are appreciated, thanks!
