10 Shockingly Simple Ways To Defeat Gaming's Toughest Bosses

4. Gym Leader Whitney (Pokémon Gold/Silver)

She may come early in the game and her champion may be an over-fed cow with a penchant for sucking its own teat, but Goldenrod City€™s Gym Leader and her Miltank are easily the stiffest challenge in the Pokémon universe. The prospect of using your team of battle-hardened Pokémon to take out a level 20 cow might seem easy enough, but at such an early stage in the game Miltank is ridiculously overpowered and is even capable of taking out warriors of a far higher level. Miltank uses rollout to literally bulldoze its way through your party €“ as the rollout intensifies is only grows in power. It€™s hard enough getting Whitney€™s champion down to low health but as soon as you start taking it into deep water, Miltank will just have some of its handy milk drink to restore a chunk of health. Easy Route To Victory€ Catching a Drowzee and trading it in for a Machop in Goldenrod€™s store is the only simple method of turning that blasted cow into sirloin steaks. Fighting Pokémon are the Miltank€™s major weakness and at this early stage in the game there are none better than Machop. Though you will still be in for a fight, Machop€™s arsenal of attacks are the only easy way of pounding your way past Whitney, plus you may eventually be able to evolve it into the awesome Goro-esque Machamp.
