Gym Leader #13: Misty - Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver

Gym Leader #13: Misty - Water

Misty has four Pokemon; Golduck, Quagsire, Lapras & Starmie. Her gym is simple, you will need Surf to battle all the trainers in the Gym, but Misty is sitting on a lifeguards' chair at the far side of the gym.

Golduck

Level: 49

Types: Water

Ability: Damp

Attacks: Water Pulse, Disable, Psychic & Psych Up

Weakness: Grass & Electric

Strategy: Easy Knock Out - a STAB Electric or Grass Type will have an easy time here.

Quagsire

Level: 49
Types: Water/Ground
Ability: Water Absorb
Attacks: Water Pulse, Amnesia, Rain Dance & Earthquake
Weakness: Grass
Strategy: Try not to let Quagsire use Amnesia otherwise it can become pretty tank-y. Fast Grass-Type is the best option.

Lapras

Level: 52
Types: Water/Ice
Ability: Shell Armour
Attacks: Ice Beam, Sing, Water Pulse & Body Slam
Weakness: Grass, Fighting, Electric & Rock
Strategy: I found that Electric and Fighting Type worked best as Ice Beam counters Rock & Grass-Types, I also put a Chesto Berry on my Pokemon so it can instantly wake up from Sleep caused by Sing.

Starmie

Level: 54
Types: Water/Psychic
Ability: Natural Cure
Attacks: Water Pulse, Confuse Ray, Ice Beam & Recover
Weakness: Grass, Bug, Electric, Dark & Ghost
Strategy: Starmie is really annoying with Recover and Confuse Ray so Dark and Bug Types worked best for me.

Once you defeat Misty you will get TM 03 Water Pulse and the Cascade Badge.
