Gym Leader #6: Byron - Pokemon Diamond and Pearl

Gym Leader #6: Byron - Steel

Byron has 3 Pokemon; Bronzor, Steelix & Bastiodon. His gym is a simple mineshaft lift-base gym. You need to ride the lifts up and down & left and right to gain access to the next platform where there will be a trainer. You will finally come across a red lift which will be the final lift to Byron.

Bronzor

Level: 36

Types: Steel/Psychic

Ability: Levitate

Attacks: Flash Cannon, Extrasensory, Hypnosis & Confuse Ray

Weakness: Dark, Fire & Ghost

Strategy: Fire or Dark are the best way to go as Levitate ignores your Ground Type Attacks; watch out for Confuse Ray and Hypnosis.

Steelix

Level: 36

Types: Steel/Ground

Ability: Sturdy

Attacks: Gyro Ball, Dragon Breath, Sandstorm & Ice Fang

Weakness: Fighting, Ground, Water & Fire

Strategy: Avoid using Ground-Types as Ice Fang counters them. Water and Fighting are probably the best way of getting rid of Steelix.

Bastiodon

Level: 39

Types: Rock/Steel

Ability: Sturdy

Attacks: Flash Cannon, Ancient Power, Iron Defence & Rest

Weakness: Fighting, Ground & Water

Strategy: Fighting, Ground & Water will get rid of this easily, Bastiodon is super slow, but it will survive at least 1 hit because of Sturdy.

Once you defeat Byron, you will get TM 91 Flash Cannon and the Mine Badge.
