Pokémon Black and White Gym Leaders

Gym choices and rewards

There are eight Gym battles in one playthrough. This catalogue has eleven leader profiles because Striaton chooses one of three brothers according to your starter, and Opelucid chooses Drayden in Black or Iris in White. Snivy faces Chili, Tepig faces Cress, and Oshawott faces Cilan. Set both filters to see the eight leaders for your own adventure. The listed Pokémon are the original story opponents, with fixed levels and four-move sets.

Reward TMs are reusable in Black and White, so compatible teammates can share the same move. Clay’s TM78 Bulldoze is delivered at Chargestone Cave’s entrance after his Gym victory. The English rewards are Insect Badge for Burgh and Freeze Badge for Brycen. This reference uses original DS teams and puzzle requirements; sequel Gym teams and challenge-mode changes do not apply.

Search a trainer, Pokémon, move or ability, then narrow the profiles by game version and your starter. Repeated team members remain separate slots: Elesa has two Emolga. Linked moves and abilities open the original-generation references; pictured Unova Pokémon link to their species profiles.

For preparation and story requirements, use the Gym puzzles and strategy guide, League and story finale guide, and items reference. Pokémon sprites illustrate the listed species and recorded gender variants; game names and imagery belong to Nintendo, Creatures and GAME FREAK.
