{{ga|Blue}} is the only Gym Leader not to specialize in a single type, instead using mostly the same team he had during his time as Champion {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|three years ago}}.  This is the final Gym battle, and the most diverse opposing team yet; make sure to bring a team with a wide range of powerful attacks.  The Gym itself has had an upgrade from the days of [[Generation II]]; {{ga|Blue}} has installed a maze of spinner tiles to confound any would-be challengers, throwing one last obstacle between you and your final badge.  In order to reach the Gym Leader, you'll need to enter the maze from the southwest.  Like the [[Blackthorn Gym|final Gym of the Johto region]], the floor is unstable, and your lead Pokémon retreats into its Poké Ball.  The maze itself isn't all that difficult to figure out, but just be aware that there are three Ace Trainers and a Double Team duo near the stopper tiles, and they all enjoy using {{m|Trick Room}}.

His {{p|Pidgeot}} and {{p|Gyarados}} are both vulnerable to {{type|Electric}} attacks, so set off a few {{m|Thunderbolt}}s or any other strong Electric-type attack — Gyarados will fall quickly due to its quadruple weakness. {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Arcanine}} are afraid of {{t|water}} and {{t|Ground}}, meaning that moves like {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}} and {{m|Earthquake}} will be a big help; you can also use {{type|Grass}} attacks like {{m|Leaf Storm}} against Rhydon and {{type|Rock}} attacks like {{m|Stone Edge}} against Arcanine.  His {{p|Exeggutor}} is at a disadvantage from a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Dark}}- and especially {{type|Bug}} assaults; take it out with moves like {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Brave Bird}}, {{m|Crunch}} or {{m|Megahorn}}.  Finally, his {{p|Machamp}}; a strong fighter but one with little defense against Flying- or {{type|Psychic}} attacks. Just be extra careful when using Flying-type Pokémon -- it has Stone Edge and {{m|ThunderPunch}} to punish them, and with ability [[No Guard]], 80% accuracy of Stone Edge no longer matters. Stone Edge also does double damage against flying Pokémon, so make sure you don't use {{m|Fly}}! Psychic-type moves like {{m|Psychic}} will bring it down quickly.

Congratulations, you just defeated the final [[Kanto]] Gym!  [[Blue (game)|Blue]] awards you the {{badge|Earth}}, the final of 16, which allows the use of {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle.  That means that you can finally scale all of those odd-looking cliffs, and maybe find a rare item.  He also gives you {{TM|92|Trick Room}} as a prize, a wily move that distorts the dimension so slower Pokémon can attack first.
