3rd Gym Leader: Poison

[Lumitora]

For the last two Gym Leaders, I tried my normal approach: have a "make it up as I go" strategy and accordingly matching my opponents Pokemon based on type and level. So far, I've nearly been beside myself with anger and frustration. Any tips on the third Poison Gym leader, who I assume is Cain's Dad?

He's not Cains dad...Just sweep him with a bulky psychic type, and have potions at hand for the Sucker Punches you'll take.

[Lumitora]

Good to know. Any Pokemon specifically however? The best and probably only Psychic type I have is a Lv. 5 Mime Jr.

[Vinny]

You could use a Gardevoir... Although the fairy typing is going to be bad now...

EDIT: But personally, i recommend a Pokemon that can destroy that gym... That makes everyone who is not Dr. Connal cry... He's a destroyer, he's the janitor...

THIS!

What pokemon do you have so far?

[nevs]

you can use psychic you can use steel but if you are at the 3rd you can have more ground type pokemons they can have stronger moves than your steel or psychic

I used a poison team, poison pokemon cant be poisoned and that messed him up, I also had a trapinch waiting to help out

[Lumitora]

So far, I have a Frogadier, a Cherrim, a Loadred, a Swirlix (which I'm not going to use because of the disadvantage), a Litleo, and a Pachirisu. I'm going to try to level up the Mime Jr. I have to switch Swirlix out with for this battle.

Edit: I don't wish to use Gyarados because I already have a Water Starter and I really want this game to be more of a challenge for me, so no OP Gyarados for me. xD

At this point I have a Meowstic lvl 33 and I was looking into finding a magikarp but suddenly the game got it switched to the 'I wasted 1000 on not getting it back from two goons because one of them lost it to another thief' quest...

the Skuntank is killing me repeatedly but if I level too much none of my critters will listen to me...
