Defeat Electric-type Gym Leader Wattson in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire using Ground-type moves. Learn weaknesses for Voltorb, Magneton, and Manectric.

·Multi-source verified (95/95)

Wattson, the third Gym Leader, specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. His team consists of a Level 20 Voltorb, a Level 22 Magneton, and a Level 24 Manectric. Electric-type Pokémon are only weak to Ground-type moves. If you chose Mudkip, your Marshtomp will dominate this gym. Otherwise, consider catching a Geodude on Route 111 and evolving it into Graveler, or a Nincada on Route 116 (can learn Dig). Magneton is Electric/Steel, making it also weak to Fire and Fighting, but Ground is still its biggest weakness. Manectric is fast, so try to hit it with a powerful Ground-type move before it can attack. Avoid using Flying or Water-type Pokémon. Reward: Dynamo Badge, TM34 Shock Wave.
