Falkner - He uses Flying-types. A Geodude with Rock Throw (it learns it at level 11) works very well here. You can also trade a Bellsprout for an Onix, who also works well against Flying-types, in Violet City.
Bugsy - His Pokemon are Bug-type, so hit them with Fire, Flying, or Poison attacks. Cyndaquil, Pidgey, Spearow, Hoothoot, and Beedrill all work well here. Scyther is Flying as well as Bug, so Electricity and
Rock attacks will also work.
Whitney - This is a pretty tough one. Her Pokemon are all Normal-types, which are only weak to Fighting. However, there aren't any Fighting types this early in the game (unless you trade), so go with Rock types, or a Ghost-type with non-Ghost attacks.
Morty - He has Ghost types. Dark and Bug types will work well here. Since all of his Pokemon are Poison as well as Ghost, Ground and Psychic attacks will work, too.
Chuck - His Pokemon are all Fighting types, which are weak against Psychic and Flying. Ghost types are also good choices, because they're
immune to Fighting type attacks. You can also use Grass or Electricity against the part-Water Poliwrath.
Jasmine - She uses one of the new Pokemon types, Steel. Steel is resistant to all kinds of stuff, so a lot of your attacks won't work, but they are weak against Fighting and Fire. Ground will also work against the two Magnemites.
Pryce - He has Ice types. Most people think you need to use a Fire type here, but almost all Ice-types have a second type that is resistant to Fire (in this case, Water and Ground). Rock is also strong against Ice, but since most Rock-types are weak against Ice,
that wouldn't be a good choice either. The easiest way to beat this gym is to simply zap Seel and Dewgong with Electric attacks and use Grass or Water against the Piloswine.
Clair - The last gym leader, she uses Dragon-types. Dragons are only weak to Ice and other Dragons, so go into the nearby Ice Cave and catch a Jynx, Swinub, or any other Ice-type and raise it until it learns some powerful Ice moves. Watch out for Kingdra; its added
Water type makes it quite resistant to Ice. Its only weakness is Dragon-types, but since there aren't many of those around, it's better to just attack it with the strongest Normal-type attacks you have.
Bugsy - His Pokemon are Bug-type, so hit them with Fire, Flying, or Poison attacks. Cyndaquil, Pidgey, Spearow, Hoothoot, and Beedrill all work well here. Scyther is Flying as well as Bug, so Electricity and
