Dewford Town Gym – Brawly
The trainers in Dewford Town’s Gym love Pokemon with a little fight in them. All of their Pokemon are of the fighting type so make sure you’ve got a few flying, psychic, or fairy abilities bouncing around in the party. Catching a Wurmple and evolving it into a Beautifly or Dustox will grant easy access to a pair of powerful attacks to make taking down Brawly a piece of cake. Both of them are able to learn Gust (flying) and Dustox has the added bonus of learning Confusion early on. Torchic along with its evolutions and flying Pokemon like Taillow can also offer easy access to flying attacks.
Brawly uses a level 14 Machop before switching to a level 16 Makuhita. They are both of the flying type and neither poses a huge threat alone if you’ve got any of the three attack types listed above available to you. While not the first Gym Leader, Brawly is perhaps the easiest of Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire when you have some psychic or flying power behind you. Do take note however, he holds a super potion that can be used to restore 50hp to either of his team. Hit him good and hit him hard.
Like before, if you use the mystery gift Beldum it has a psychic ability named Zen Headbutt which will cause tremendous damage to each of these fighting type behemoths. Brawly’s gym is somewhat hard to traverse but if you walk down the clear routes after pressing each light switch you’ll progress through in no time. From the entrance head left, then right then left through the darkened portions to easy reach him.
After defeating the Dewford Town Gym you’ll obtain the Knuckle Bag which forces all Pokemon up to level to obey you and TM08: Bulk Up. Sticking this onto a Pokemon with high HP will make your journey though Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire a little easier.
