>>34481644>Roxanne is whatever>Brawly has obscene bulk and high level>Wattson is a cakewalk if you have Mashtromp, if not you have to deal with annoying Thunder Wawe spam>Flannery shuts down all your male mons and spams Overheat thanks to White Herb. Camerupt is also bulky if you don't have Mashtromp, but not that powerful>Norman easily KOs Fighting types by starting the fight with 100% accurate confusion and using powerful attacks;high level again. Have to plan a strategy.>Winona straight-up spams Dragon Dance and Earthquake. The fight rewards you a lot if you find the Ice Beam TM.>Tate & Liza have an extremely bulky Claydol that spams Earthquake. The constant use of Light Screen and Sunny Day makes Surf useless.>Juan starts with Luvdisc, who's very weak, but also faster than most Hoenn mons, using 3 different status to stall the fight. All his 5 mons can inflict confusion and Kingdra has Double Team + Rest bullshit.Emerald's (not Ruby and Sapphire) gyms are much harder than Totem Pokémon, yes. Third gen had the hardest gyms out of any official Pokémon game. The right amount of difficulty, not so easy it's boring, but not unfun hard either.
