Pokémon: 10 Most Intense Gym Leader Boss Battles

9. Norman (Generation 3)

After being deeply patronising and refusing to battle you until your first four gym badges have been gathered, you are more determined then ever to take down your father Norman. First to be sent out from his party of three is Slaking, an oversized ape that lulls opposing Pokémon to sleep by yawning on them... lovely! Slaking can be a pain to take down as his yawn attack is usually effective, and he's able to land a number of punishing blows while your Pokémon are fast asleep. Vigoroth is next, lashing out with facade; a move that doubles in strength if it is burnt, poisoned or paralysed. Your blood will begin to boil as Norman unleashes his final Pokémon, a more powerful version of the highly obnoxious Slaking. Nothing feels more satisfying then erasing the smug look off of your father€™s face after his final Pokémon bites the dust.
