So, you read our Pokemon X and Y review and decided it was time to get back into Pokemon? Good call. Now, it's time to earn some badges. Pokemon's gym leaders are the closest the series has to boss battles, attacking you with specific, high-level pocket monsters. Knowing how to deal with them isn't all that difficult once you know their strengths, but going in without being prepared could lead to a quick trip back to the Pokecenter. We're guessing you've already looked over the complete Pokemon X and Y Pokedex, but if you want to know which Pokemon you're going to face when, we have the answers for you right here.
