How Gym Leader Rematches Work

After entering the Hall of Fame, the Gym Leaders will occasionally register for rematches via the PokéNav's Match Call. Each Gym Leader can be fought four times, with their roster growing to six Pokémon.

Note: All rematch battles are Double Battles! Ensure you pair your starting Pokémon strategically to capitalize on type advantages and support moves.

1. Roxanne (Rustboro City Gym)

Roxanne introduces Water/Rock types (Omastar, Kabutops) and a Steelix to protect her traditional Rock team. Grass and Fighting attacks are highly recommended.
