My try at the taion gym leaders

[Super Cuddles]

FLORA-
Oddish lvl12 (absorb,sweet scent)
Legumble lvl11 (nature power,perish dance,sweet scent,flowerbloom)

These grass pokemon's level are quite low, but considering that Legumble is quite powerful with base sp atk 85 and that flowerbloom is an attack with a power base of 40 according to togepitaion.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=moves&thread=1085357545&action=display&start=0 This will be much tougher than say Roxanne's nosepass with rock tomb.

Cobalt-
Sandshew lvl16 (scratch,sand tomb,piledrive,sandstorm)
Gligar lvl17 (poison sting,sand attack,piledrive,sandstorm)

An annoying team, sandstorm + sand veil makes it hard to hit them. Sandshew might just finish one of your pokemon by trapping it with sand tomb, and then sandstorm and then attack. Gligar's poison sting is also something to watch for.

Mende-
Seerion lvl20 (hypnosis,confusion,nightshade,future sight)
Baskkion lvl21 (hypnosis,confusion,glitter,future sight)
Adumbrion lvl21 (hypnosis,confusion,knock off,future sight)

Didn't know that clairvoyance was he's TM, but I'm sure we can stick it in somewhere. I'm assuming that everybody agrees that second sight should allow the seers' attacks to become un-missable like swift (since nobody actually disagreed with me in the trait depot thread). Hypnosis would be like hell for you, especially the hypnosis from Adumbrion since he is fast. Also, future sight is quite powerful and might probably kill a sleeping pokemon in 1 hit.

Matt-
Castform lvl24 (ember,sunnyday,water gun,raindance)
Surris lvl24 (atmosphere,thundershock,icy wind,cosmic power)
Castform lvl26 (acid rain,sunnyday,sandstorm,weather ball)
Cumulonos lvl26 (typhoon,atmosphere,icy wind,weather ball)

Well, the first 3 pokemon can be easily taken care of I suppose, but Cumulonos is something that you should really worry about. Both of its speed and sp atk excceed 100, making him 1 hell of a sweeper.

Luna & Dave-
Houndour lvl32 (bite,flamethrower,roar,beat up)
Mightyena lvl33 (poison fang,crunch,swagger,scary face)
Murkrow lvl34 (gamble,swift,nightshade,confuse ray)
Umbreon lvl36 (faint attack,confuse ray,eclipse,moonlight)

Hmm... Some of them can be easily beaten. If you are really unlucky, murkrow's gamble might just faint your entire team... Umbreon will be hard to take down though, with confuse ray, eclipse + moonlight combo. I think eclipse should be their TM.

Skye-
Peliper lvl40 (water pulse,protect,stockpile,inhale)
Humisher lvl37 (quick attack,feather bomb,tailwhip,double team)
Heroncholy lvl40 (wing attack,quick attack,tornado kick,focus energy)
Humawk lvl42 (extremespeed,feather bomb,whirlwind,double team)

Peliper with inhale XD, helps to take care of really unlucky fellows. Water pulse gains stab and has a chance of confusing the opponent. Protect is there just to annoy you. Feather bombing hummies might make you cry. Also, they know double team and quick attack/extremespeed just to make your life miserable.

Fern-
Wigglytuff lvl44 (sing,defence curl,flirt,rollout)
Delcatty lvl44 (sing,attract,flirt,assist)
Harpey lvl46 (lovely kiss,attract,flirt,perish song)
Nidoqueen lvl46 (flirt,flatter,crunch,body slam)
Kangaskann lvl47 (flirt,mega punch,dizzy punch,rest)

Any fast pokemon that can hit hard and are female will have no problem defeating Wigglytuff, Delcatty and Harpey. Nidoqueen and Kangaskann will be harder to beat, but I guess eventually they will fall.

Char-
Dinfersion lvl53 (explosion,charge,spark,firebomb)
Magcargo lvl51 (lava floor,amnesia,reflect,flamethrower)
Camerupt lvl54 (lava floor,eruption,earthquake,rockslide)
Kanninaid lvl54 (thunderwave,firebomb,explosion,spark)
Magmar lvl54 (confuse ray,flamethrower,ice punch,lava floor)

Watch out for lava floor! It will make the battle really hard I think. Firebomb from dinfersion/Kanninaid will be a 95% ensured KO on your pokemon. The bombs also pack spark to deal with any water pokemon that you throw in. Magmar has ice punch to counter ground types and confuse ray for annoyance.

Legato-
sealeo lvl56 (Hail,Iceball,surf,body slam)
Phrostom lvl58 (snow song,Astonish,scary face,haze)
Sneasel or its evo even lvl58 (Swordsdance,slash,shadowball,quick attack)
Lapras lvl59 (snow song,Rest,Ice beam,hydropump)
Blizzaden lvl59 (Ice beam,snow song,blizzard,mist)

Well, since snow song is supposed to be this gym's special move, I figured that it's better to leave absolute zero from blizzaden and lapras.

Can anybody confirm whether www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/215.shtml is the official sprite for sneasel's evo?

[mattgcn]

It's not. Likely Coronis'. If we were to use anyones, I'd ask kyledove.

I think the levels go too high. Try to top off at about 40ish, like in GSC (Maybe 50 since we have 10 gyms)

[Super Cuddles]

but that would make the gym battles too easy...remember players have to battle team apollo grunts some points between gym battles, and all other mini quests.

Now should you take my suggestion about pokemon exceeding lvl100 into consideration?

[mattgcn]

Yes, yes. Perhaps up to 150. However, Pokemon above Lv. 100 are exempt from all tourney battles out-of-PT (Global ones) and cannot be traded.

Or we make Gym battles more strategy based. When it finally reaches to point of 100, you must select an even number of Pokemon to battle theirs. Same for trainers. Then it won't make Global Trades harder.

[Super Cuddles]

what global trades?

[mattgcn]

I'll give you my long winded explanation of the *possible* global trades system later. It's quite nifty if it could work.

[ZeroCool]

Please not over lvl. 100. It's already quite a job to raise your pokémon to lvl. 100. T_T

Shouldn't Cobalt and Luna & Dave have at least one new PT pokémon?

[Super Cuddles]

Not if there are so many side quests, evil maniac teams and a bunch of elite fours and a whole lot of high level wild pokemon in later regions. I think you can also rebattle gym leaders at some point.

None of our dark type pokemon suits them. Smolderen is a starter, darchrome is bulky, Adumbrion is already used in an earlier gym and mallusk is a nono and might possibly be in a later water gym or water elite.

Didn't Dave's name get changed to Penn to sound darker...
