Pokémon Stadium Gym Leaders: Kanto Castle opponent reference
Know the eight Gym Leader themes and why coverage still matters.
Edition covered

Quick notes
- Use the leader theme as a starting clue. Brock, Misty and the other Kanto leaders retain recognizable specialties.
- Prepare for the castle sequence. Each Gym Leader area includes trainer battles before its leader.
- Keep Mewtwo separate from the castle roster. Mewtwo is a distinct major challenge connected to broader completion.
- Choose three after reading the preview. A general anti-Water plan is less useful than a trio that answers the six species actually displayed.
Prepare for the castle sequence
| Question | Inspect | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| What threatens my lead? | Opposing types and species | Choose a safer opener. |
| What resists my main move? | Likely switch-ins | Bring a coverage option. |
| Who can take a hit? | Your defenses and typing | Preserve a fallback. |
| What support is available? | Status and utility moves | Plan more than raw damage. |
Useful tip
Mewtwo is a distinct major challenge connected to broader completion. It is not simply a ninth Gym Leader.
