Beat the 6th Gym Leader in Pokémon Emerald
Winona, the 6th gym leader in the game, Pokémon Emerald, is one of the hardest trainers to beat. She uses flying Pokémon, so take that into consideration.
Steps
- The first Pokémon of hers is a Swablu. Be careful, because it has the move Perish Song, which can take you out in 3 moves.
- Next is Tropius, a Flying/Grass-type. Use a flying or fire move, and you can have a nice win against it.
- Pelliper is the 3rd Pokémon and not the easiest or hardest. It usually uses Protect, and confuses you. Use an Electric-type, like Manectric, as Pelliper has a 4x weakness to it.
- Skarmory is next, and harder than any Pokémon you ever fought. Don't use Flying or Steel-type moves, or you're in trouble. Use a water move like Surf or Water Gun, or use fire moves. Skarmory is also weak to Electric-type moves.
- Altaria, the final Pokémon, uses Earthquake, which doesn't help at all. Dragon Dance, which raises attack and speed, which isn't good when it uses Aerial Ace. Don't use Ground-types, and you can win the battle.
Tips
- Even though Tropius is a flying Pokémon, it is still weak to flying moves, because it's dual type.
- Ground-types are useless in this battle.
- You can use the Ice Beam TM from the Abandoned Ship, for example on a Castform that you receive.
Warnings
- Winona uses a lot of Hyper Potions to heal her Pokémon.
Things You'll Need
- Revives, Hyper Potions, etc.
- At least a level 34-38 Pokémon
- An Electric, Fire, Ice, or Water Pokémon, or a Pokémon with a move with the before-mentioned types
