Gym Leader #5: Chuck - Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver

Gym Leader #5: Chuck - Fighting

Chuck has two Pokemon; Primeape and Poliwrath. His gym is simple, you need to turn off the thunderous waterfall as Chuck isn't able to notice you while he is focusing underneath the water fall. There is a large Red Button at the top of the rock cliffs you can press to stop the waterfall.

Primeape

Level: 29

Types: Fighting

Ability: Vital Spirit

Attacks: Rock Slide, Double Team, Focus Punch & Leer

Weakness: Flying, Psychic

Strategy: Primeape will make you less likely to hit him so he can pull off the Focus Punch, using Double Team so you can't hit him. Rock Slide will counter your Flying-Type. Strike quickly with a Strong Move.

Poliwrath

Level: 31
Types: Water/Fighing
Ability: Water Absorb
Attacks: Surf, Hypnosis, Body Slam & Focus Punch
Weakness: Flying, Electric, Psychic & Grass
Strategy: Poliwrath will make you less likely to hit him so he can pull off the Focus Punch. Either putting you to sleep or Paralysing you with Body Slam. Poliwrath can also heal himself if hit with Water-Type Attacks. Best thing to do is make him Paralysed or put him to sleep before he can; Poliwrath is pretty bulky so he can take hits really well.

Once you defeat Chuck, you will get TM 01 Focus Punch and the Storm Badge.
