If you visited this blog then you probably have Pokémon Platinum or simply just want to know more about the Gym Leaders in Sinnoh, either way you’ll find all the information you need in this handy blog.

Let’s start off with Roark, as a rock-type gym leader and a miner at the Oreburgh Mines, Roark rocks! Roark is the first gym leader in Pokémon Platinum and his gym is located in Oreburgh City. Roark is also the son of Byron and he has a Level 14 Geodude, a Level 14 Onix, and a Level 15 Cranidos.If you beat him you will be able to use HM06 Rock Smash and he will give you a TM as well.

Next up is Gardenia, (the lady of blooming plants and flowers).She is also the guardian of the Eterna Forest and a Grass-type expert. Her gym is in Eterna City as you may have guessed, and her Pokémon are Roserade, Cherrim, and Turtwig. If you manage to win against her grassy team, then you will be able to use HM01 Cut and she will also give you a TM too.

The third gym leader in Pokémon Platinum is Fantina, (the soulful dancer) and her gym is in Hearthome City. Fantina’s specialty is Ghost-type Pokémon and her Pokémon are Duskull, Haunter, and Mismagius. If you can beat her spooky team, then you will be able to use HM05 Defog and she will also give you a TM and the Relic Badge. She also occasionally visits the Lost Tower in Solaceon Town.

Up next is Maylene, (the barefoot runner) she is the gym leader of Veilstone City and her Pokémon are Meditite, Machoke, and Lucario. Her Pokémon can really pack a punch, so try to beat her quickly using Ghost, Psychic, Flying, and/or Fire- type Pokémon. After you defeat her, she will award you with the Cobble Badge and you will be able to fly back to any Pokémon Centre you want to go to with HM02 Fly. She will also give you a TM, just like all the other Gym Leaders have before her. Her specialty is Fighting-type Pokémon as you may have guessed by now.

Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake! Put out the fire! Crasher Wake! As a wrestler, poet, and Gym Leader, Wake sure is a tough guy! His gym is in Pastoria city, and his Pokémon are Gyarados, Quagsire, and Floatzel. Wake will give you the Fen Badge and a TM, if you can beat his watery team and you will also be able to use HM03 Surf. Wake is also the protector of the Pastoria Great Marsh.

The sixth gym leader in Sinnoh is Byron, a miner and father of Roark. Byron is also friends with Riley (the guardian of Iron Island) and he is a user of Steel-type Pokémon. He is the Gym Leader of Canalave city (you can get there by surfing) and his Pokémon are Magneton, Steelix, and Bastiodon. If you can get past his iron defense, he will award you with the Mine Badge and a TM. After you beat Byron you will also be able to use HM04 Strength.

The seventh gym leader in Pokémon Platinum is Candice (the diamond dust girl).Candice is also the leader of the not dressed for the weather girl trio and the Gym Leader of Snowpoint City. Her Pokémon are Abomasnow, Weaville, Piloswine, and Froslass and she will hand you the Icicle Badge and a TM, if you can beat her snowy team. You will also be able to use HM08 Rock Climb after you beat her.

 

The last Gym Leader in Pokémon Platinum is Volkner (the electricity guy and doubles battle partner). Volkner is also a friend of Flint and the Gym Leader of Sunyshore city, and his Pokémon are Electivire, Jolteon, Raichu, and Luxray, his team will really shock you so hit them back with powerful Rock or Ground- type attacks. Volkner specializes in Electric-type Pokémon and he award you the Beacon Badge and a TM after you beat his team and you will also be able to use HM07 Waterfall.

Now that you’ve beaten all the Gym Leaders you are ready to challenge the Elite Four and the Champion. You will have some tough battles ahead but if you can persevere through them with your Pokémon then you will truly be a Pokémon Champion.
