1 Fact about Every Gym Leader in Pokémon 

Larry is the only Paldean gym leader who terastrallizes a pokémon of his type specialty. Also, he's the only gym leader who's also an elite 4 member simultaneously, unlike Koga.

Clay is a Japanese (so like Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh) business man who moved to Unova, and became a cowboy. This is a true fact

At 7:13 The reason why the triplets didn’t confronted the Sages at N’s castle alongside the other gym leaders was because they were actually intercepted and defeated in battle by the Shadow Triad. The Triad later went on to Shame them by saying that they were too weak, and unworthy of being gym leaders. This made them quit their gym leader career temporarily and focus on training and asked Cheren to replace them as gym leader in the meantime. The cutscene I'm referring to also debunks the theory that the triplets were the shadow triad in secret, explaining why they didn't confront the sages near the end of the story. There are numerous cutscenes (called "Memory Link", which is a feature available in the game) that show what happened to several characters in BW and what happened between BW and BW2, thereby explaining many narratives that the prequel game left unresolved.

Also another fact that you didn't recognize is that Ryme has a twin sister named Tyme who specializes in rock types. Tyme's hair looks like jagged mountain peaks.

I would love if there is a joke upload along with every proper video and we'd have to guess which one is the proper one

Three fun facts about Valerie! from pokemon X and Y 1: she is originally from Johto 2: she used to be a model and dresses like this as she wants to be a pokemon. She made her own dress too. 3: Her outfit weights 33 pounds and she is actually a bit muscular due to her wearing this outfit.

Gordie's name is the diminutive of Gordon, that means "from Scotland" (since Galar it's based on UK and regions close to it). It also sounds similar to "gorge" which is a large valley between two mountains normally split by a river (hence the rock type) Also, I'm pretty sure it's implied that the guy in Bea's rare league card is her martial arts teacher, not a boyfriend (that's why it uses the same kind of clothes as the fighting type npcs). Since her parents made her learn martial arts from a very young age. Given Bea's connection to Korrina in the anime I wouldn't be surprised if Gurkin (Korrina's grandfather) was Bea's martial arts teacher at some point in the past. Katy's hair is meant to look like a cocoon and her voluptuous body type is a very clever design choice made on purpose to make her reference insects with segmented bodies (like ants or wasps for example) to further relate her to the bug type. Which is pretty cool. By the way, Ryme's hair also looks like a spine if you look at her back.

Another fact about Katy is that her name comes from Katydid which is a type of Grasshopper. This is reinforced by the fact that she uses Lokix on her team which is based off of a Grasshopper.

Fun fact: Since Pokémon money is equivalent to Japan’s yen, Valerie’s outfits do not cost $2,000,000. They will however, run you up a check of $14,513.94, which is actually kinda cheap considering how much certain articles of clothing can go for.

Elesa in Pokemon Masters isn't redesigned, it's her Signa Suit, kind of special outfit that most of characters in this game had. Elesa in Master has her BW2 outfit, but BW outfit is available too as "Classic Elesa". Also, there are other outfits for her in this game

Regarding Raihan, Lance actually based his outfit off of RAIHAN'S! So Raihan wasn't inspired by Lance, but the other way around! Another fun fact about Gordie is that he's the only version exclusive Gym Leader in Galar to not use a Gen 1 Pokémon for Gigantamax. Gordie has a Coalossal as his ace, while Allister chooses Gengar, Bea chooses Machamp, and Melony chooses Lapras. And another Gym Leader that uses an impossible Pokémon is Fantina. In the The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon in BW2, a download tournament within the Pokémon World Tournament, Fantina uses Origin Forme Giratina holding a Ghost Gem. But a Giratina couldn't hold a Ghost Gem outside the Distortion World to turn into its Origin Forme as it needs a Griseous Orb.

Imagine if Chili, Cilan and Cress had been a triple or Rotation Battle?

re: Clay I think the fact that he's supposed to be Japanese is pretty interesting. I always saw him as a cliched Texan man but apparently he's based on a character archetype of a Japanese businessman striking it rich in the States

Larry using flying type pokemon is subtle reference him wanting to jump off a building

Maybe I’m misinterpreting this, but it’s possible to have a Pokémon learn two egg moves from two different original parent Pokémon. For example in Gen 7 (SMUSUM) my Alolan Nintetales on Sun knows both Freeze Dry & Moonblast. I simply bred a female Alolan Vulpix with a male Sylveon to learn Moonblast. I continued hatching until I got a female Alolan Vulpix that knows Moonblast. Using my 2nd 3DS and I eventually taught my Moon male Smeargle Freeze Dry via battling my Vanilluxe on Sun. Traded the Smeargle over to Sun after the battle, then bred it with my newly evolved female Alolan Ninetales w/ Moonblast. From there Every hatched Alolan Vulpix knows BOTH Freeze Dry & Moonblast, two eggs moves from TWO different parents being Smeargle and Sylveon respectively. I now have so many of these in my Pokémon home, a few of which I transferred over to Gen 8 (SwSh). Currently on Gen 9 (SV) I did a very similar but much easier process having plenty of Baxcalinur knowing both Freeze Dry & Dragon Rush. While yes it’s a very lengthy process however my point is that it’s very much possible to do this legally, without cheats, bots, etc. A Pokémon knowing two eggs moves from different parents isn’t necessarily illegal. Again, let me know if I misinterpreting anything. ☺️

Here's another fact about the two gym leaders of Stow-on-Side. Despite having her glove on her right hand, Bea appears to take a southpaw fighting stance. Mustard is seen doing this exact stance with a few differences. Allister is left-handed, but he appears to be throwing with more focus on his right hand. This likely means either the glove goes on the person's writing hand or they ran out of right-handed ghost trainer gloves. Also, if you make a video for the elite 4, I think you'll also do the same thing you did with Grusha to Rika, saying, "Rika... it's a girl," and whatever else you might say about her. (And I'm still shocked they allowed a literal five-year-old in the elites.)

Came for Larry. Stayed for the Rest.

Larry's use of the flying type in his elite four battle is also a subtle reference to his dream of "flying" off a building.

I will mention one other fact about Erika: she's also a gym leader who's ace has changed 3 times, her ace was Vileplume in gen 1, Bellossom in gen 2 and then Tangrowth in gen 4 (due to her dojo rematch as her strongest mon there is Tangrowth, so I'll count it)

Iono's name is a pun on both "Ion" and "I don't know". As evidence by her stream intro being "Whosawhatsit? Iono!" as in "Who is that? I don't know!". This is because her Japanese name is "Nanjamo" a phrase roughly meaning "What is that?", and such her ser stream intro in Japanese is "Nanjamon ja? Nanjamo!"

So the main point to keep from this video is that a lot of gym leaders are hacking in illegal Pokémon.

Morty went from having bright clothes to having emo clothes 😂

FINALLY, a fact about Clemont that's not about his name THANK YOU! ya know what you've earned a new subscriber

7:08 The reason they didn’t show up is because Bianca was late to inform them so it was over by the time they were able to get there 7:55 He’s one of, if not, the only gym leaders to not give you a tm right after you beat him, he instead gives it to you after he clears the entrance to chargestone cave. I could be wrong about him being the only one to do it, but I don’t remember if any others did that

While I can confirm that's what gordo/a means in Spanish, that's not where Gordie's name comes from! Like most of the other Galar Gym leaders, their English names are plant-related like their Japanese names. Gordie comes from both gourd as well as Geordie which is a term for people from Newcastle upon Tyne, a place that has been historically known for its coal industry. Though Circhester is based on Bath in Somerset. Also, I'm glad that Norman remains the only father to the player in the games, because the Gym battle between the player and him is symbolic, it's that final approval of the direction his child wants to take. And well...he was the only Hoenn Gym leader I had to rematch. For the designs of the Gyms themselves, I love the Kalos Gyms and the BW2 Unova Gyms the most. Like the fact the first ever Fairy-type Gym was a giant DOLLHOUSE, that the Anistar Gym transforms into somewhere outer space, how chill the Humilau Gym is, or the Nimbasa Gym is now a runway for the queen...they all go so hard. And the BW2 Gyms have different versions of the Gym theme for each Gym...so perfect.

When I saw the thumbnail, I expected it to be that Brock would try to flirt with Grusha not knowing that he's a boy, and then be heartbroken.

Aggron: What is my purpose? Byron: Head Smash

The extra memories in Black 2 and White 2, that you unlock by linking Black or White with your game, actually provides an explanation as to way Cilan, Chili and Cress never showed up at N's Castle to help out against Team Plasma. In that memory cutscene, the 3 of them were preparing to leave their gym/restaurant and make their way to N's Castle, but they were intercepted by the Shadow Triad, who then proceeded to defeat the 3 brothers in battle.

9:27 Brassius must be quaking right now. The sheer amount of Sunflora Ramos has puts Artazon to shame!

In the anime, Volkner is ambidextrous. He is also the first Gym Leader to integrate robots into his Gym design and invented the Aipom arm before Clemont. Clemont’s was just smaller and portable.

Even more fun fact about Larry, he is literally me

my favourite fact about Skyla is that all of her Pokémon in her Gym battle in Black 2 and White 2 begin with the letter S, for Skyla: she has a Swoobat, a Skarmory, a Swanna, and in Challenge Mode she also has a Sigilyph

Im disappointed that every fact in the video is not, "(Gym Leader) does not own a Tauros" for the entire runtime. I miss the old Aura Guardian! 😭

“All of Miriam's Pokémon refer to specific types of medicine and healing: Hypno refers to hypnotherapy and sleeping well, Pincurchin represents acupuncture and possibly shock therapy, Sawsbuck represents aromatherapy and medicinal herbs, Glalie refers to cryotherapy and possibly a cold compress such as an ice pack, Eelektross most likely refers to either a defibrilator or leeching, and Toxapex references acupuncture once again, as well as the use of venom in medicine.” From bulbapedia. I know not a gym leader

Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :) Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.

Informative vid, and was really cool overall!!

I’m not sure if it was you or not, but I think it was, but I recently a few days ago initiated a Tera Raid Battle, in which it turned out to be a shiny Breloom, and I’m pretty sure you participated in it because one of the players had a Lucario named, AuraGuardian and the username was Alex. My Pokémon was an Armorouge named Garredson. I just wanted to say, thank you, in case it was you, for helping me catch my first Tera raid shiny Pokémon. If it wasn’t you, have a good day either way :-)

I spent quite a lot of time looking for a town around Grusha's gym 😂

Surprised you didn’t mention the fact that Allister’s mask directly references Shy Guys from the Mario games.

I always thought Gordie had his name based on the word "gourd," like a pumpkin, just as Melony would be based on "melon" as in watermelon.

0:06 there's a good reason why Brock had no rock type moves in gen 1... there were literally only 2 rock type moves, with both of his pokemon being too low leveled to get either of them (Geodude gets Rock Throw at lv 16, and Onix gets it at lv 19)

Cheren fact, he’s the only 1st Gym Leader in a region who has a neutral type to any starter you might choose. Every other 1st leader, depending on who you choose, has a potential advantage or disadvantage against your starter Pokémon’s type.

you’re making this pokéspe fan very happy with this vid!

Another fact, maybe not fun idk, about Raihan is that the guy’s well over 2m tall (like 7ft) lmao if you know it makes sense why he towers over the player in the conversation after the battle and why his hand is like thrice as big but still lmao he also has an undercut and dreads which would be much more visible without his damn hat lmao. i hate his hat with a passion.

Could we get "1 Fact about every Elite Four Member in Pokémon" Next?

Geniunely mindblowing to realize Wulfric is the last official gym battle Ash ever had. Honestly what a fight to go out on though- one of the coolest (no pun intended) gym leaders, and Ash-Greninja vs Mega Abomasnow was an absolute work of art.

8:52 Marlon: *is voiced by Ted Lewis (aka the iconic King DeDeDe voice from the Kirby anime)* Also Marlon: I NEED A CARRACOSTA TO CLOBBAH DAT DERE NATE/ROSA!

Candice has actually used FOUR different aces. In BDSP, her strongest Pokémon in her rematches is Weavile. That woman needs to make up her mind.

You missed one good fact about Opal: In her concept artwork sheet there's a portrait showing her in her young years.

Honestly Kofu should have been the double battle in Gen 9 using Tatsugiri and Dondozo. Would have been way more fitting than the Titan encounter we got. Wulfric in his XY Gym battle has an Abomasnow that only knows 3 moves. I think the most interesting fact about Clay is that his family has the tradition of passing down the hat that he wears (or the overall design of it as Lian's hat in Legends Arceus is ever so slightly different in artwork but it's a bit bigger in the game). If it's indeed the same hat, it's the only object that survived the Hisuian time period, possibly making it longer lasting than the original design of the pokeball.

I really love how you put Lucarios in the background💜

Gordie’s name is actually a pun on “gourd” to match his mother, MELONy. They’re both named after melons in Japanese too.

The thing I remember most about Burgh is that, while everyone else’s gym badge gives some sort of deep or inspiring quote, his is just “Use Bug-Type Pokémon!”

11:19 I've always guessed that Gordie's name comes from Geordie. Galar is of course based on Britain and a Geordie is a name for some from Newcastle in the North East of England. Circhester is in the North East of Galar. Circhester is similar to real town in the North East called Chester-le-Street. Finally, Gordie has black and white on his clothes, that look a bit like stripes. The football team Newcastle United are sometimes called the Geordies and wear black and white striped shirts.

I'm expecting the Classic Aura Troll to activate on Larry

6:05 No one cared who I was until I put on the mask

I think it’s commendable that Roxie almost defeated all 6 of Ash’s Pokémon while she only used 3.

7:27 Lenora’s apron was considered insensitive because it pretty strongly evoked the mammy stereotype of Black women - obviously not intended but it’s not some mystery or secret as to why it was changed

another fun fact about larry is that currently he's the only character who not only is a gym leader but also an elite four member at the same time koga may have been the first gym leader to make elite four statues but he was only known as an elite four member not a gym leader his daughter took over the gym

wait, crasher wake without his mask is a daddy? this changes EVERYTHING-

12:52 The rest of the skeleton is on Ryme's back xD.

Another fun fact about my boy grusha, he actually explains that Geeta was trying to replace him because he wasn't winning enough, but he starts trying harder after

Valerie, according to Masters, also makes all her own clothing. So she didn't pay 2 million for it, she sells it for 2 million.

Tate is named "Ben" in German which made me confused why he could be mistaken as a girl. And Liza is named "Svenja"

Some stuff might actually be possible, you can have 2 egg moves on a mon, multiple breeding does this (done this myself on many occasions). And some evolved forms can be encountered at lower level in the wild, eg a lvl 9 Pidgeotto in Red and blue for example.

The dub for the Ash versus Roxie episode came out a week before Black 2 and White 2 had released in the states. While the original release had come out nine days before the games did in Japan. So, it's likely this was used as promotional material for both countries. Seeing as the episode had come out in a similar timeframe to the games for both places. America being a six-day difference while Japan had a nine-day difference instead. Another fun fact I suppose. 👍

Fun fact about Raihan: He's NOT the first Gym Leader to specialize in a weather condition. That belongs to Justy from Colosseum, who uses a Sandstorm team

There is dialogue somewhere in Pokemon Masters, which says that Lance based his HGSS outfit off of the Hammerlocke gym uniform.

9:13 also adding in that Korrina is one of a few gym leaders/kahunas that get more than one battle theme in a game series. The others being Hala and Olivia in the sun and moon games, the gym leaders you battle in the champions cup in Sw/Sh and Larry in Gen 9. Also on Valerie's outfit if you convert Pokedollar which is comparable to yen. From yen to usd as of this comment, Valerie's outfit costs over $14K

If only it was a fact that all other seven gym leaders in Generation 6 had mega evolution. Hopefully it happens if the future XY remakes is confirmed.

Love how many facts there are from the Pokemon Adventures manga!!

Another fact for Bea and Allister is that they are the highest leveled fourth gym leaders, with their aces being Level 36. The next highest is Ramos and LGPE Erika with their aces being Level 34.

13:09 **Insert that one 4chan post**

1:48 There is another fun fact about this mispelling. Giovanni is meant to be some sort of rappresentation of the Italian mafia; well, his mispelled version, "Giovani", is the plural for "young" in italian.

some love for elite 4 as well please. very nice video

The most interesting thing about Clay is that he probably drives a Ford F150 while listening to Tigeres del Norte and dealing with incompetent workers at his Ranch.

Possibly fun fact about Clay, he wears a wool hat underneath his cowboy hat

Maybe a episode of one fact on each champion

Awesome video length

Awesome job.

8:01 we must stay focused everybody we must

Am I miss remembering egg moves from back then? Janine's Crobat is 100% legit. You just breed one move into the Zubat before the other. The Zubat will pass down any egg moves it already knows.

Another fact about Sabrina which is related to the games instead of the manga: She's a movie star, appearing in one of the later Pokestar Studios films. Brycen is one as well, but a lot more players know that since he plays the villain of the only film which is mandatory to complete in order to progress.

iirc the reason Cilan, Chili and Cress don't appear at N's castle is because by the time they heard about what was going on, everything was basically over anyway, and they'd have never been able to arrive to do anything even if they had left immediately

Hell yeah

the reason lenora's apron was considered racially insensitive is because it was a bit too close to the mammy stereotype for comfort. the mammy stereotype is a slavery era stereotype and an apron is part of the stereotype. there's more to it, but considering she is the first Black gym leader and pokemon has a fraught history with another Black stereotype, the concern was warranted. just giving more background on that :)

"Believe it or not" I do believe it, it's very noticiable for those who know about the mammy stereotype

Expanding on the fun fact about Marlon, his VA, Ted Lewis, also voiced King Dedede in the English dub of Kirby Right Back At Ya

I thought the origin for Gordie's name was just "gourd", you know, since his mom Melony is pretty obviously deriving her name from "melon"

I think one for Clay is that he is the second ground type gym leader. With Giovanni being the 1st in gen one, that's 3 generations without a new gym leader for a specified type which I believe is the longest gap for such a thing.

When Iono was revealed I really thought we were going to have a magnemite paldea form

Keep it up on your work and this video and channel I ❤️ this video and channel Thanks you for your video and channel I ❤️ Pokemon all franchise Love yourself first and most Believe in yourself Quitters never win and winners never quit Don't give up and never give in Ignore those who try to discourage you Hang on to your dreams Take care of yourself Take control of own destiny Keep moving forward Stay strong Stand up for yourself Stand tall and be brave Speak up for yourself Stay positive Be yourself Be grateful Be humble Act of kindness people

I like to imagine each gym leader has different pokemon teams for trainers at different skill levels based on the number of badges said trainers have. For example let’s say a trainer with four badges faces Cherin. I can picture his team being- Two herdier A zangoose And a stoutland Probably ranging from level 31 to 33. You guys have any ideas for alternate gym leader teams based on the challengers skill level?

10:08 I audibly reacted when I saw Olympia, cuz I had completely 100% forgot this character ever existed. Anyone else?

12:10 For Katy's apron logo, the one shown in the game was a mistake by the team working on her model since in the character sheet they release, you can clearly see the design on her and a close up view 🤗

Brycen also changed his type speciality. He used to be an actor, and he reprised his role in BW2. His actor team is Dark type.

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure there's an option to fight two gym leaders when you're able to fight Pryce, which means there isn't a "previous" gym battle because they're supposed to be even.

Another fun fact about Winona or Wallace whichever is cool but in the manga they dated each other

The Brawly fun fact surprised me cuz I clearly overlooked it when I played but I do remember him saying something like that! I didn't make the connection with Twitch plays Pokemon tho XD

As pointed out by my 9-year-old daughter - the back of Ryme's hair also looks like a skeletal spine, ending in a pelvis!
