UPDATE: Alright you want an unreasonably difficult gym; Taze.
One Pokemon with a Water or Grass Hidden Power I can understand but both on his entire electric team as well as a Chinchou with Surf and a Ludicolo which has no business on an Electric-type gym leader's team but is a perfect Ground counter is downright cheating.
On top of that, all of his Pokemon except the Chinchou are at least second stage evolutions while none of the provided ground-types in the area can evolve at his level or at least learn a decent Ground Move.
Rocco deviated from his type as well via having a Riolu but at least Riolu is a baby and isn't a very convenient counter to his weaknesses.
It's not even just the gym leaders, other trainers have unfair advantages as well such as Brendan with a level 10 Midkip that has Ice Beam and the girl trainer in Flora's gym with a Fletchinder that has Arial Ace when we don't at least have access to those TMs.
Oh and I can now confirm that there is no level cap as I continued to gain exp after reaching level 25 in the Taze battle.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't say Taze was too hard. Sure it took me a day of training multiple pokemon and testing out combinations but by the sounds of it you only looked at what he weakness was and not was would work against him. I'm doing it on hardmore so my pokemon were capped at 24. My team was: Hitmonlee, Luxio, Shedninja, Hariyama, Houndoom and onyx. This allowed onyx to set up and Hitmonlee took out Luxio easy enough. Raichu was a breeze for shedninja, Hariyama dealt with most of ludicolo before luxio finished him and chinchou leaving Houndoom to take care of Magnemite. of course I used items as Cheri berries and sitrus berries but I wouldnt say its unfairly matched. it did take me two days cause I went going around catching 30 odd pokemon whatever looked fun or good for the future battles and leveled them all up to cap level. The game is designed to actually make you think more outside the box then normal pokemon do. its not enough to look at weakness types and try and match it. only 1 of my pokemon were the recommended Ground typing.
