Mauville Gym Leader · Mauville City

Wattson oversees Mauville’s Electric Gym, whose switches change the path through its barriers. He also has a later connection to New Mauville.

  • Story: The third badge challenge earns the Dynamo Badge and TM34 Shock Wave. His optional New Mauville task is separate from winning the badge.
  • In the game: His original team is Magnemite, Voltorb and Magneton at levels 20–23. Ground attacks offer valuable coverage; Ruby and Sapphire do not use Emerald’s four-Pokémon first team.
