How to Beat the 8 Gym Leader in Ruby

In "Pokémon: Ruby, " the 2002 Gameboy Advance game by Nintendo, players can battle up to eight gym leaders. The eighth and final gym leader is Wallace in Sootpolis City. Wallace uses water-based Pokémon for his fight. His roster includes Luvdisc, Whiscash, Sealeo, Seaking and Milotic, all of which are around level 40. It is not advisable to battle him if you are not near this level.

Instructions

- 1
  Prepare your roster with some electric- or grass-based Pokemon, as these will counter Wallace's water Pokémon. No matter what, you want at least one or two grass-type Pokémon to use against Whiscash, as electric can not damage him.
- 2
  Level all of the Pokémon to at least level 42 before beginning the fight. You can do this by finding random encounters in the area before entering his gym.
- 3
  Begin the match by choosing a Pokemon that will do grass or electric damage. The first Pokemon that Wallace uses is Luvdisc, it is very weak against these two types of damage.
- 4
  Switch to a grass Pokémon for the second fight against Whiscash. Whiscash is weak against water, grass and ice attacks.
- 5
  Fight the remainder of his roster with electric-type Pokémon, as Whiscash is the only non-water in the roster. After defeating Wallace, you are awarded the eighth gym badge.
