Mossdeep Gym Leaders and twin Psychic specialists · Mossdeep City

Tate and Liza jointly run Mossdeep’s Psychic Gym. Their paired challenge makes Double Battle planning essential rather than optional.

  • Story: Defeating them earns the Mind Badge and TM04 Calm Mind. Their original Gym team contains Lunatone and Solrock, both at level 42.
  • In the game: Bring at least two usable Pokémon. Levitate blocks Ground attacks against both opponents; their Ruby and Sapphire two-Pokémon team differs from Emerald’s four-member roster.
