Gym Leader #2: Brawly - Pokemon Emerald

Gym Leader #2: Brawly - Fighting

Brawly has three Pokemon; Machop, Meditite & Makuhita. He has a very simple gym, the lights are turn off, leaving you to wander round the gym's corridors with just a small spotlight over you. Each trainer you defeat, the spotlight increases in size.

Machop

Level: 16

Types: Fighting

Ability: Guts

Attacks: Karate Chop, Low Kick, Seismic Toss & Bulk Up

Weakness: Flying & Psychic

Strategy: Don't inflict status damage as Guts will double it's attack power. A quick super effective move is the best way to go about taking out Machop.

Meditite

Level: 16

Types: Fighting/Psychic

Ability: Pure Power

Attacks: Focus Punch, Light Screen, Reflect & Bulk Up

Weakness: Flying & Ghost

Strategy: You are avoiding being hit by Meditite rather easily. Focus Punch requires two moves to attack, but if it is attacked before attacking, Focus Punch fails. Light Screen & Reflect are going to be annoying if it able to set them up, deal with Meditite quickly to avoid future annoyance.

Makuhita

Level: 19

Types: Fighting

Ability: Guts

Attacks: Arm Thrust, Vital Throw, Reversal & Bulk Up

Weakness: Flying & Psychic

Strategy: Don't inflict status damage as Guts will double it's attack power. A quick super effective move is the best way to go about taking out Makuhita. Bulb Up doubles the attack of the user, if Makuhita is able to get a couple of Bulk Ups in, it can hit really hard, so take it out quickly or but it asleep to avoid being attacked.

Once you defeat Brawly you will get TM 08 Bulk Up and the Knuckle Badge.
