Gamefreak seems to really like those three mon 8th gym leaders, huh?

>>29412954
Say what you will about the other 2 but I was not ready for Shell smash sturdy

>>29412954
Really wish they'd at least kick it back up to 4 mons for the gym leaders and 5 for the Elite Four, but eh.

>7th gym
>technically the gym leader has 1 pokemon

>>29412954
as an actual battle wulfric is the shittiest gym leader of all time. i know xy isn't great in general but even by xy standards he is horrendous

>>29412954
Why are you playing the non-canon normal mode? BW2 were made to be played on challenge mode.

>>29413004
Challenge mode Drayden is no joke either.

>>29413052
>Nether are very good, or play off of eachother in their preferred mode of battle, doubles.

I was really counting on SUN and MOON fixing these two somehow. Oops.

They're not even in Alola's regional dex, what the fuck.

Why the fuck didn't they give gym leaders megas?

But did anyone really use them when they were in other games like B2W2 and X&Y?

>>29413200
Rock/Psychic is a decent typing but they just aren't great. Was really hoping they would get something.

>>29413244
This is true, Emerald and Platinum were great at revamping Gym Leader's teams. Too bad ORAS actually went backwards.

>>29413159
Because to even get Challenge mode you need to beat the game at least once

>>29413508
You mean get AR and input a few codes?

...
Well now I must confess to being a dumbass and never considering using my AR to turn on Challenge mode

>>29413270
>Platinum
>great at revamping
platinum ruined DP's gym and E4 teams. It made them fit more in line with the expected conventions of a gym leader but they all became bland and predictable as a result. Except Aaron, his DP team wasn't different or clever, it was just shit with Dustox and Beautifly wasting space, replacing them with Yanmega and Scizor was the right choice.

>>29412954
because luvsic, sealeo and rhyhorn clearly act as useful team members

>>29412954
>Wulfric
He's the easiest 8th gym in the entire franchise

>>29413845
d-defensive ice teams are good! GOOD!
