Flannery, the fourth Gym Leader, specializes in Fire-type Pokémon. Her team includes two Level 26 Slugma, a Level 28 Torkoal, and a Level 26 Camerupt (Ruby) or Numel (Sapphire). Fire-type Pokémon are weak to Water, Ground, and Rock. If you chose Mudkip, your Swampert will be incredibly effective. Other strong Water-types like Pelipper or Marill (evolved into Azumarill) are good. Ground-types like Sandshrew (Ruby) or a trained Geodude are also excellent. Torkoal has high Defense, so special Water or Ground moves are ideal. Be wary of Overheat, which lowers Special Attack but hits hard. Focus on super-effective attacks to minimize the number of turns. Reward: Heat Badge, TM50 Overheat.
