Defeat Wally, get your Bicycle, and challenge Wattson at the Mauville Gym.
Gym Leader Wattson specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. Ground-type attacks are highly recommended here since Electric deals no damage to Ground and Ground moves deal double damage to Electric.
What is the puzzle: The gym has blue and yellow electrical barriers blocking the paths. Stepping on colored buttons changes which gates are active.
How to solve:
1. Step on the first yellow switch on the left to turn off the first barrier.
2. Go right and step on the blue switch in the center.
3. Walk up, head left, and step on the northern yellow switch.
4. Walk to the right and step on the blue switch nearby to open the final path to Wattson.
