Gym Leader #7: Candice - Pokemon Diamond and Pearl

Gym Leader #7: Candice - Ice

Candice has 4 Pokemon; Snower, Sneasel, Medicham & Abomasnow. Her gym is a little bit annoying, but once you see what you need to do, it's not that hard. You need to slide down the icey slides to destroy the large snowballs blocking your path.

Snower

Level: 38

Types: Grass/Ice

Ability: Snow Warning

Attacks: Razor Leaf, Ingrain, Ice Shard & Leer

Weakness: Fighting, Bug, Fire, Rock, Poison, Steel & Flying

Strategy: Snow Warning will make Hail fall continuously throughout the battle, so what out for that. Bug and Fire are the best way to go.

Sneasel

Level: 38

Types: Dark/Ice

Ability: Inner Focus

Attacks: Taunt, Faint Attack, Avalanche & Slash

Weakness: Fighting, Fire, Rock & Steel

Strategy: Hit hard with Fighting Types to knock out it out quickly.

Medicham

Level: 40

Types: Fighting/Psychic

Ability: Pure Power

Attacks: Bulk Up, Detect, Ice Punch & Force Palm

Weakness: Ghost & Flying

Strategy: Ice Punch will counter Flying Types, so Ghost is the best way to go. After using Bulk Up, it can become really threatening.

Abomasnow

Level: 42

Types: Grass/Ice

Ability: Snow Warning

Attacks: Swagger, Avalanche, Wood Hammer & Grass Whistle

Weakness: Fighting, Bug, Fire, Rock, Poison, Steel & Flying

Strategy: Abomasnow is pretty tanky, hit hard with Bug, Fire and Poison Types. Avoid Grass Whistle as it will put you to sleep.

Once you defeat Candice, you will get TM 72 Avalanche and the Icicle Badge.
