Gym Leader #1: Falkner - Pokemon Soul Silver and Heart Gold

Gym Leader #1: Falkner - Flying

Falkner has two Pokemon; Pidgey and Pidgeotto. His gym is easy, in fact if you don't want to fight any of the trainers, you can walk around them on the glass blocks.

Pidgey

Level: 9

Types: Normal/Flying

Ability: Keen Eye

Attacks: Tackle & Sand Attack

Weakness: Electric, Ice & Rock

Strategy: A Quick Attack or Bite a fast physical attack will work the best.

Pidgeotto

Level: 13
Types: Normal/Flying
Ability: Keen Eye
Attacks: Tackle, Roost & Gust
Weakness: Electric, Ice & Rock
Strategy: Pidgeotto can be annoying, especially with Roost healing his Health Points back up. I recommend trading a Bellsprout for an Onix with a boy in the Trainer School if you are finding it tough. The Onix has Rock Throw which will take out the Pidgeotto easily.

Once you defeat Falkner, you will get TM 51 Roost and the Zephyr Badge.
