Appendix:HeartGold and SoulSilver walkthrough/Section 17: Difference between revisions

The [[Saffron Gym]] specializes in the {{type2|Psychic}}.  Wander through the maze of warp tiles, and you'll eventually reach the Gym Leader, [[Sabrina]].  Use {{t|Dark}}- or {{type2|Ghost}} attacks, like {{m|Bite}} or {{m|Shadow Ball}} to exploit the Psychic-type's weaknesses.  If you choose to attack with Ghost-type moves, avoid battling with a Ghost-type Pokémon because of her {{p|Espeon}}'s Shadow Ball.  Her {{p|Mr. Mime}} and {{p|Alakazam}} employ the use of {{m|Light Screen}} and {{m|Reflect}} to cut your attack power for a few turns, as well.  All three know their best [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] move, {{m|Psychic}}, and can provide additional coverage with Shadow Ball, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Energy Ball}}, respectively.  If all else fails, pound her team with physical moves to take advantage of their low {{stat|defense}}s.
