This is Burgh, from BW 1. Quite pitiful, for the third gym. We can only use unova pokemon here, as he is in the main game.
His ace is Leavanny, at level 23. Already I choose to level it up to 25, since Lenora's is level 20, only 5 levels below, when the game has a huge forest area, and a side area below and before the forest itself.
It doesn't gain any moves by level up until level 29, so the moveset isn't gonna change there. No, I will have it learn one (1) tm move, in Energy Ball. It will replace Razor Leaf, and a move it can learn earlier on is Bug Bite. That will replace String Shot. I won't give it an item, because it is only the third gym.
The other two pokemon on the team are Whirlipede, and Dwebble. They are both level 21, but that's only 1 level above Lenora's ace, so it won't be enough of a challenge. I don't want to overwhelm the player, so making Whirlipede level 22 and Dwebble level 23 will be a nice compromise.
Dwebble won't have much change in the moveset, as it already has sand attack and faint attack, both moves well used on a level 23 pokemon.
Whirlipede however, is a different story. Not only did I raise it just barely enough to be a legitimate whirlipede, evolving at level 22, but I changed Screech for Rollout, a move it can use well to counter fire types.
