Blackthorn Gym: Difference between revisions

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Gym Leader Clair is on a platform in the middle of red-hot lava, and the player must go to the second floor, where a {{m|Strength}} puzzle must be completed. Once the puzzle is completed, the boulders pushed down the correct holes form bridges across the lava, allowing the player to reach Clair. After being defeated, Clair is so outraged by her defeat that she refuses to hand over the {{badge|Rising}}, forcing the player to go to the [[Dragon's Den]] before the Badge can be acquired.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, immediately after entering the Gym, the [[Gym guide]] tells the player to return their [[walking Pokémon]] back to its [[Poké Ball]]. After this, the player has to navigate on platforms floating on lava, using arrows on them to move them and the blue buttons on them to spin them. After three platforms and several Trainers, the player will reach Clair and battle her. Like in [[Generation II]], after being defeated, Clair refuses to admit her loss and hand over the Badge before the player has completed the challenge at the Dragon's Den.

====Pokémon used in Gym====

|pkmn=Dragonair

|stage1=Dratini

|img=Clair Gyarados.png

|epnum=EP251

|epname=Beauty is Skin Deep

|desc={{p|Gyarados}} is Clair's hidden powerhouse. It was seen guarding her Dratini. Later, during Ash's rematch with Clair, it managed to defeat [[Ash's Snorlax]] and put up a good fight against his {{p|Pikachu}}, but eventually lost to Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Gyarados's known moves are {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Dragon Breath}}, and {{m|Bite}}.}}

|desc={{p|Kingdra}} was used it in both battles with Ash. In the first battle, Ash first decided to use Pikachu, but as Pikachu's attacks didn't have that much effect on Kingdra, Ash switched to {{AP|Noctowl}}, which was easily defeated. Right after this the match was interrupted, as Team Rocket was trying to steal the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}.

|pkmn=Dragonite

|type1=Dragon

|img=Clair Dragonite.png

|epnum=EP252

|epname=Fangs For Nothin'

|desc={{p|Dragonite}} first appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs For Nothin']]'' and once belonged to the original {{OBP|Gym Leader|EP253}} of the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She went on a rampage when {{TRT}} tried to steal a sacred bowl of fire in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', but she calmed down later on in that episode.  

Clair was revealed to had captured the Dragonite in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]''.

Dragonite's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Outrage}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}{{tt|*|Dragonite cannot legally learn Whirlwind}}.}}

|nick=Druddigon [[File:ShinyVIStar.png|link=Shiny Pokémon]]

The Blackthorn Gym appeared in ''[[PM103|The Ultimate Battle…?!]]'' of Pokémon Pocket Monsters. {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} entered the Gym to impress Clair but he and Charizard were badly beaten by her. As {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon went inside, they had to get past a river full of lava in order to get to Clair. Even though the group was burned in the process, Clair cooled them off with a water bucket and challenged him to a battle using {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}}. Despite Dragonair being a tough opponent, Red was able to defeat it with {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}}, and their {{m|Double Team|clones}} cause some trouble in the end.

* This is one of the few places in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} where the player is required to keep his or her Pokémon inside of its Poké Ball.
