This is another pesky puzzle gym. Throughout the Gym are switches, that when stepped upon, alter the water level, which in turn raises and lowers a complex of board bridges throughout the gym. It will take some time to figure the puzzle out, and you be forced to fight a good number of trainers along the way. Crasher Wake will be no big deal if you chose Turtwig, a bother if you chose Piplup and a pain if you chose Chimchar. If you've got Turtwig, you practically have it in the bag, with an exception for Gyarados. His combination of the Water and Flying-types make him a formidable foe, and he require more than a single attack to put it in it's place, even with an electric-type on your team. Quagsires combination of Water and Ground make it even more susceptible to Grass-type moves. However, since Floatzel knows Ice Fang, try to stay away from your grass-types when fighting it. Now, if you have Chimchar, it would be advised to leave this battle to your other Pokémon, because the poor Fire-type will get creamed. If you have a Roselia, great, but if you have no Grass-types whatsoever, you might want to go out looking for some. Also, an Electric-type like Luxray or Raichu will make fighting much easier.
If you talk to the Team Galactic Grunt after he bolts, your rival will come wanting a battle.
| If you chose Turtwig... | If you chose Chimchar... | If you chose Piplup... |

| Roselia (Lv.25) | Ponyta (Lv.25) | Ponyta (Lv.25) |
| Buizel (Lv.25) | Roselia (Lv.25) | Buizel (Lv.25) |
| Monferno (Lv.28) | Prinplup (Lv.28) | Grotle (Lv.28) |
Luckily, his Pokémon don't seem any stronger than the last two gym leaders'. None of his Pokémon (especially Starly) have evolved since your last encounter, so this battle can't be too hard. An Electric-type, a Water-type, and a Fire/Flying type can take care of his team.
