Eltosian Kadath Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 So this was something going around the TeeHee thread (or I guess just Chat Thread now) about a year ago, and it was fun to create, think about, and share, so I figured I would start a thread in here too. The idea is to pick a type for your gym, and create a set of teams, based on when your gym is faced. As an example I will share the one I created back in the TeeHee thread as a Dragon-type Gym Leader so you get the idea (although I will be making a new one with another of my favorite types for this thread as well). 1st Gym Leader: Applin; Dratini (12) 2nd Gym Leader: Dreepy; Applin; Dratini (18) 3rd Gym Leader: Dratini; Flapple; Turtonator (24) 4th Gym Leader: Flapple; Drampa; Dragonair (30) 5th Gym Leader: Flapple; Tatsugiri; Dragonair; Vibrava; (36) 6th Gym Leader: Cyclizar; Dragonair; Vibrava; Tyrantrum(42) 7th Gym Leader: Dragonair; Cyclizar; Flygon; Komo-o; Dragalge (48) 8th Gym Leader: Duraludon; Dragalge; Kingdra; Flygon; Komo-o; Dragonite (55) The number I put in parenthesis was roughly the level I expected for each gym, and while I like the level curve described, you don't need to follow it. You could even go more hard core than me and determine movesets for your teams as well. I didn't add too many aesthetic details at the time (other than an epic cape being an obligatory part of the costume), but it would be fun to describe your gym leader as well if you want. Now for a new Gym leader of the Ghost typing just for this thread. 1st Gym Leader: Litwick, Sinistea (12) 2nd Gym Leader: Drifloon, Poltchageist, Misdrevious (18) 3rd Gym Leader: Corsola (Galarian), Sabeleye, Frosslass (24) 4th Gym Leader: Rotom, Driflblim, Brambleghast, (30) 5th Gym Leader: Haunter, Doublade, Trevenant, Runerigus (36) 6th Gym Leader: Lampent, Jellicent, Sinistcha, Polteageist (42) 7th Gym Leader: Spiritomb, Golurk, Mismagius, Zoroark (Hisuian), Annihilape (48) 8th Gym Leader: Basculegion, Dhelmise, Chandelure, Aegislash, Mimikyu, Gengar (55) I must admit, it was a bit bold to have no repeat pokemon (although a few repeat lines in there). This gym leader be a small bean with an oversized hoodie that leaves their face shaded in darkness and with hands together, when things go well in the battle, you can see the glow of what look like eyes from within the dark hood, and an ominous mist rises up to wisp up in front of the face, but when things go poorly in battle you get a glimpse of the great cup of tea in hand (hidden otherwise by oversized sleeves), and glasses slip a little into the light, until the battle is lost and the hood flies off, revealing white hair, and bespectacled face with the weary bags of one that does not get enough sleep.

Shanty Pete's 1st Mate Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Concept: A brother-and-sister Gym Leader pair, who specialize in double battles with the Ice-type. There's Rudolph, the older brother, who loves to carve ice sculptures. And his little sister, Noelle, who comes up with the designs for the sculptures. Gym Design: You go through several rooms, each with multiple ice sculptures of the same Pokemon. You need to identify which sculpture is "correct" to pass. Pick the wrong one, and a Trainer will pop out to challenge you. The later in the game you visit, the more rooms (and Trainers) there'll be. Leader's Teams: So, Rudolph and Noelle will each have between 1 and 3 Pokemon. As the third gym, they each gain a second member; while as the seventh gym, they each gain a third member. Each team is listed in order below: Rudolph's Team Alolan Sandshrew //// Sandslash Spoiler Ability: Slush Rush Nature: Jolly Level: 12 / 19 / 23 / 30 / (EVO) 32 / 39 / 43 / 50 Item: Rawst Berry //// Occa Berry Moveset: - Scratch // Metal Claw // Iron Head - Defense Curl - Powder Snow // Icy Wind // Ice Punch // Icicle Spear - Rollout (3rd gym onward) Swinub // Piloswine // Mamoswine Spoiler Ability: Snow Cloak Nature: Adamant Level: 22 / 29 / (EVO) 31 / 38 / (EVO) 40 / 47 Item: Leichi Berry Moveset: - Ice Shard - Endure - Flail - Mud-Slap // Bulldoze // Earthquake (7th gym onward) Wyrdeer [Tera Ice] Spoiler Ability: Intimidate Nature: Rash Level: 41 / 48 Item: Nevermeltice Moveset: - Tera Blast [Ice, Special] - Thunderbolt - Psyshock - Calm Mind Noelle's Team Alolan Vulpix //// Ninetales Spoiler Ability: Snow Warning Nature: Timid Level: 10 / 17 / 21 / 28 / (EVO) 30 / 37 / 41 / 48 Item: Icy Rock Moveset: - Powder Snow // Icy Wind // Ice Beam // Blizzard - Disable // Spite // Confuse Ray - Aurora Veil - Disarming Voice // Draining Kiss // Dazzling Gleam // Moonblast (3rd gym onward) Mime Jr. // Galaraian Mr. Mime // Mr. Rime Spoiler Ability: Technician // Ice Body Nature: Quirky Level: 20 / 27 / (EVO) 29 / 36 / (EVO) 38 / 45 Item: Light Clay Moveset: - Helping Hand - Reflect - Light Screen - Confusion // Psybeam // Psychic (7th gym onward) Cryogonal Spoiler Ability: Levitate Nature: Hasty Level: 39 / 46 Item: Brightpowder Moveset: - Snowscape - Confuse Ray - Freeze Dry - Mist Anyway, that's the team! Let me know if you have any thoughts on it. Edited January 19 by Shanty Pete's 1st Mate Added four new Mons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ping Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Oh hey, I remember spending too much time overthinking this: On 1/14/2023 at 8:48 PM, ping said: In today's episode of Spending Too Much Time On A Silly Idea: As 1st gym: Remoraid (Lv.9: Water Gun - Lock On - Psybeam) Remoraid (Lv.9: Water Gun - Lock On - Aurora Beam) Squirtle (Lv.13: Tackle - Water Gun - Tail Whip - Withdraw) As 2nd gym: Poliwag (Lv.16: Water Gun - Hypnosis - DoubleSlap - Rain Dance) Remoraid (Lv.14: Water Gun - Psybeam - Aurora Beam - Charge Beam) Remoraid (Lv.14: Water Gun - Psybeam - Aurora Beam - Incinerate) Wartortle (Lv.18: Tackle - Water Gun - Bite - Withdraw) As 3rd gym: Polywag (Lv.24: Water Gun - Hypnosis - Mud Shot - Rain Dance) Remoraid (Lv.22: BubbleBeam - Psybeam - Aurora Beam - Incinerate) Wartortle (Lv.22: Water Gun - Bite - Withdraw - Rain Dance) Octillery (Lv.25: Octazooka - Psybeam - Charge Beam - Bullet Seed) As 4th gym: Polywhirl (Lv.28: BubbleBeam - Hypnosis - Mud Shot - Rain Dance) Octillery (Lv.25: Octazooka - Psybeam - Charge Beam - Bullet Seed) Octillery (Lv.25: Octazooka - Psybeam - Aurora Beam - Incinerate) Wartortle (Lv.30: Water Pulse - Bite - Protect - Rain Dance) As 5th gym: Polywhirl (Lv.32: BubbleBeam - Hypnosis - Mud Shot - Rain Dance) Octillery (Lv.30: Octazooka - Psybeam - Charge Beam - Wring Out) Whiscash (Lv.33: Water Pulse - Magnitude - Rest - Snore) Lombre (Lv.33: BubbleBeam - Zen Headbutt - Fake Out - Uproar) Blastoise (Lv.36: Aqua Tail - Bite - Protect - Rain Dance) As 6th gym: Seadra (Lv.38: Brine - Twister - Focus Energy - Rain Dance) Ludicolo (Lv.38: BubbleBeam - Giga Drain - Zen Headbutt - Fake Out) Whiscash (Lv.40: Aqua Tail - Magnitude - Amnesia - Rest) Blastoise (Lv.40: Aqua Tail - Bite - Protect - Rain Dance) Polywrath (Lv.42: Waterfall - Body Slam - Hypnosis - Circle Throw) As 7th gym: Kingdra (Lv.40: Hydro Pump - Twister - Focus Energy - Rain Dance) Ludicolo (Lv.44: BubbleBeam - Giga Drain - Zen Headbutt - Icy Wind) Whiscash (Lv.46: Aqua Tail - Earthquake - Amnesia - Rest) Polywrath (Lv.46: Waterfall - Body Slam - Hypnosis - Circle Throw) Blastoise (Lv.48: Surf - Dragon Tail - Iron Defense - Rain Dance) As 8th gym: Mantine (Lv.52: Hydro Pump - Air Slash - Signal Beam - Rain Dance) Kingdra (Lv.50: Hydro Pump - Dragon Pulse - Focus Energy - Rain Dance) Ludicolo (Lv.52: Hydro Pump - Giga Drain - Zen Headbutt - Icy Wind) Whiscash (Lv.52: Aqua Tail - Earthquake - Amnesia - Rest) Polywrath (Lv.52: Waterfall - Payback - Hypnosis - Circle Throw) Blastoise (Lv.55: Surf - Dragon Tail - Iron Defense - Rain Dance) Generally based on Gen5 movesets, because that's the last generation that I've actually played, but also with some TMs (like Incinerate and Charge Beam) and at least one tutor move (Giga Drain on Ludicolo). There's some spiel for how much the later teams would use Rain Dance apart from the increased damage. I'll just put out there that Whiscash's hidden ability is Hydration :whistle: I still think Remoraid->Octillery would make a great Pokemon for a low- to mid-level gym leader. Great versatility, to break out of the type restriction a little, but also with very exploitable flaws: paper-thin defensese for Remoraid and awful Spd (and middling defenses) for Octillery.
