And not just Gym Leaders either. You can spruce up Rival or Evil Team-related teams too!

Nice anon.
>We have this threads so often that I prepared
Same deal.
Only did the gym leaders for now, though. Despite making them harder, i still can't get over the feeling that the game will still probably be way too easy.

It's ingame so you can always make them good thematically and raise difficulty with better moves and higher levels.

Yo, I was in a thread yesterday and decided to improve Falkner's team, but I got tired and went to bed. So, I'm gonna improve everyone else.
>Falkner's team
-Murkrow, Super Luck, Lv. 12, (Roost, Peck, Pursuit, Confuse Ray)
-Pidgeotto, Keen Eye, Lv. 13, (Roost, Air Cutter, Quick Attack, Mud-Slap)

To start everyone else, here's Bugsy.
>Bugsy's team
-Pineco, Sturdy, Lv. 16, (Bug Bite, Spikes, Rock Tomb, Take Down)
-Yanma, Compound Eyes, Lv. 16, (U-Turn, Swift, Double Team, Pursuit)
-Scyther, Technician, Sitrus Berry, Lv. 17, (U-Turn, Focus Energy, Quick Attack, Silver Wind)

Any changes you lads think should be made? But I'm not removing their ace.

Gotcha. Sacrifice Mud-Slap's negligible damage for STAB using Pidgeotto's better stat, and Fury Cutter takes advantage of Technician's power boost.
Alright! If there's any other changes that need to be made, just holler. I'm going ahead and doing Whitney and Morty.
>Whitney's team
-Teddiursa, Quick Feet, Lv. 18, (Attract, Fury Swipes, Feint Attack, Metal Claw)
-Clefairy, Magic Guard, Lv. 18, (Attract, Wish, Metronome, Covet)
-Girafarig, Early Bird, Lv. 19, (Attract, Confusion, Stomp, Agility)
-Miltank, Scrappy, Lum Berry, Lv. 20 (Attract, Milk Drink, Stomp, Rollout)

I'm kinda unsure about this one. I wanted to include some Johto representation without getting rid of her iconic Pokemon, so I gave her four Pokemon.
Teddiursa fits her "cute" aesthetic and Girafarig shows up in her rematches. And Miltank is literally perfect.

Or just Whitney because I'm a fucking dumbass.
Anyway why they made a Ghost specialist in the game with TWO GHOST LINES is fucking stupid, but I'll make do.
>Morty's team
-Misdreavus, Levitate, Lv. 23, (Shadow Ball, Confuse Ray, Curse, Will-o-Wisp)
-Haunter, Levitate, Lv. 23, (Shadow Ball, Confuse Ray, Curse, Giga Drain)
-Misdreavus, Levitate, Lum Berry, Lv. 24, (Shadow Ball, Confuse Ray, Charge Beam, Psybeam)
-Gengar, Levitate, Sitrus Berry, Lv. 25, (Shadow Ball, Confuse Ray, Hypnosis, Dream Eater)

Look, this is the best I could fucking do to make the same two Pokemon interesting. The first two mainly use Curse to kinda butter things up, and the last two go hard with the attacking moves.

Next is Chuck and Jasmine.
>Chuck's team
-Primeape, Vital Spirit, Lv. 29, (Focus Punch, Rock Slide, Screech, Double Team)
-Heracross, Guts, Coba Berry, Lv. 29, (Focus Punch, Swagger, Night Slash, Rock Tomb)
-Hitmontop, Technician, Lv. 30, (Focus Punch, Substitute, Aerial Ace, Bullet Punch)
-Poliwrath, Damp, Sitrus Berry, Lv. 31, (Focus Punch, Hypnosis, Surf, Body Slam)

It's simply just adding in the only two Johto Fighting-types and giving them ways to avoid being hit during Focus Punch.
>Jasmine's team
-Skarmory, Sturdy, Lv. 33, (Steel Wing, Aerial Ace, Curse, Spikes)
-Scizor, Technician, SilverPowder, Lv. 34, (Metal Claw, Agility, Silver Wind, Baton Pass)
-Magneton, Sturdy, Lv. 34, (Metal Sound, Light Screen, Thunderbolt, Tri-Attack)
-Steelix, Sturdy, Sitrus Berry, Lv. 35, (Iron Tail, Rock Slide, Thunder Fang, Rock Polish)

Skarmory's a typical lead, though Curse is something to be afraid of. I admittedly took a page out of Evice's book for Scizor. It's mainly for Agility, but any boosts from Metal Claw or Silver Wind are nice. Magneton's just Magneton. Steelix is now a huge fucking threat thanks to Scizor, Magneton's Light Screen, and its own hard-hitting moves.

Thank you for not arbitrarily removing their aces, that shit triggers me and I have no idea why some are so adamant in doing so.

No prob. The way I see it, their aces are iconic. Their ace is the Pokemon they're usually most associated with.
>>39655242
Anyway, finally we have Pryce and Clair
>Pryce's team
-Delibird, Vital Spirit, Icy Rock, Lv. 33, (Hail, Blizzard, Water Pulse, Pluck)
-Sneasel, Keen Eye, Lv. 33, (Ice Shard, Feint Attack, Swords Dance, Brick Break)
-Dewgong, Thick Fat, Lv. 34, (Sheer Cold, Surf, Rest, Sleep Talk)
-Jynx, Oblivious, Lv. 33, (Blizzard, Dream Eater, Lovely Kiss, Fake Tears)
-Piloswine, Snow Cloak, Sitrus Berry, Lv. 35, (Hail, Ice Fang, Earthquake, Rock Slide)

Let's be real here: Pryce's original team fucking SUCKS. Like, fucking hell it's bad.

>Clair's team
-Gyarados, Intimidate, Lv. 40, (Dragon Pulse, Ice Fang, Aqua Tail, Thrash)
-Dragonair, Shed Skin, Lv. 40, (Dragon Pulse, Thunder, Fire Blast, Blizzard)
-Ampharos, Static, Dragon Fang, Lv. 40, (Outrage, Discharge, Thunder Wave, Focus Blast)
-Dragonair, Shed Skin, Lv. 40, (Dragon Rush, Iron Tail, Slam, Dragon Dance)
-Kingdra, Sniper, Sitrus Berry, Lv. 41, (Dragon Pulse, Hydro Pump, Hyper Beam,)

If you're questioning the Ampharos, it's because it's kinda related to dragons. I forgot how in the context of HGSS, but there's some relation.

I'm probably not gonna go the Elite 4. I MAY do the Rocket Admins though

I can see why people would want to swap out the aces of some of the Johto Gym Leaders. I definitely think that, whenever possible, they should all have a Johto Pokemon as their ace, even if it's the only Gen 2 Pokemon on their team. And in most cases, GF had perfectly good options for making that happen. I don't see why Falkner couldn't have had a Noctowl in place of Pidgeotto, for instance.

Here's some food-for-thought
What about those "you're a gym leader" template things for pre-existing leaders, aka designing teams for them if you challenge them earlier/later than normal

Taking a stab at Hoenn. Its gym leaders are pretty good but its E4 is a mess.

>Roxanne
Geodude, Lileep, Nosepass

>Brawly
Machop, Meditite, Makuhita

>Wattson
Magnemite, Voltorb, Lanturn, Manectric

>Flannery
Numel, Ninetales, Torkoal

>Norman
Vigoroth, Dodrio, Girafarig, Slaking

>Winona
Pelipper, Masquerain, Xatu, Skarmory, Altaria

>Tate and Liza
Solrock, Lunatone, Gallade, Gardevoir

>Wallace
Seaking, Starmie, Wailord, Walrein, Milotic

Why the Walrein for Wallace? Because while we're at it, I'm getting the fuck rid of Glacia from the E4. Hoenn's dex does not justify an Ice type member. In the meantime, Froslass can round out Phoebe's team, and we get a Grass member (lots of potential in Hoenn) that looks something like this:

>Roserade
>Ludicolo
>Cacturne
>Cradily
>Breloom
