Gym Leader #8 Giovanni - Pokemon Yellow

Gym Leader #8: Giovanni - Ground

Giovanni has five Pokemon; Dugtrio, Persian, Nidoqueen, Nidoking & Rhydon. His gym can seem complex, but if you know what you are doing, it is easy. The gym is full of push-pads forcing you into trainers, if you get it wrong, the push-pads will move you back to the beginning.

Dugtrio

Level: 50

Types: Ground

Attacks: Sand Attack, Dig, Fissure & Earthquake

Weakness: Grass, Ice & Water

Strategy: Fissure is an Instant OK, but it is extremely inaccurate watch out for it, it will sand attack you then attempt to land Fissure on you. 

Persian

Level: Normal
Types: 53
Attacks: Screech, Slash, Fury Swipes & Double Team
Weakness: Fighting
Strategy: Persian is more annoying than anything else, it is going to lower most of your stats and just attack with Slash getting a lot of critical hits - Hard and Fast Fighting is going to work the best.

Nidoqueen

Level: 53
Types: Poison/Ground
Attacks: Tail Whip, Double Kick, Poison Sting & Thunder
Weakness: Psychic, Water, Ground & Ice
Strategy: I recommend using Venusaur (if you picked it up) as Thunder will knock out your Blastoise (if you picked it up) pretty quickly.

Nidoking

Level: 55
Types: Poison/Ground
Attacks: Thunder, Leer, Earthquake & Thrash
Weakness: Psychic, Water, Ground & Ice
Strategy: I recommend using Venusaur (if you picked it up) as Thunder will knock out your Blastoise (if you picked it up) pretty quickly.

Rhydon

Level: 55
Types: Ground/Rock
Attacks: Rock Slide, Fury Attack, Earthquake & Horn Drill
Weakness: Grass, Ground, Fighting, Water & Ice
Strategy: Rhydon is a beastly Pokemon is the first generation, a Bulky Hard Hitter is going to work the best here, probably Blastoise.

Once you defeat Giovanni, you will get TM 27 Fissure and the Earth Badge.
