Oreburgh City Gym Leader: Roark's Pokemon

Pokemon	Type	Ability / Item	Moves
Geodude (Lvl. 12)		Rock Head	・Stealth Rock ・Defense Curl ・Rollout
Onix (Lvl. 12)		Sturdy	・Stealth Rock ・Rock Throw ・Bind
Cranidos (Lvl. 14)		Mold Breaker	・Headbutt ・Bulldoze ・Leer

Use Fighting Type Pokemon

Roark, the leader of the Oreburgh City Gym, is a Rock-type specialist. Grass-types and Water-types have the super effective matchup needed to reliably go against Roark's team members.

Fighting-types are also solid choices. Not only are they super effective against Rock types, they also resist the Rock type's moves.

How to Beat Gym Leader Roark

Save Your Best Pokemon for Cranidos

Cranidos is Gym Leader Roark's strongest Pokemon. With a whopping Base 125 Attack, it can easily knock out your Pokemon if you give it a chance to move first!

Save your strongest and highest level Pokemon for last! It's also a good idea to bring some Potions just in case. Take note that Roark will also use Potions if his Pokemon are low on health.

Oreburgh City Gym Battle Rewards

Oreburgh City Tips & Strategies

Restore Fossils at Mining Museum

The scientist at the front desk of the Oreburgh Mining Museum can restore any fossils you find while exploring the Grand Underground. Talk to him to get a new Pokemon from these fossils!

Evolve Your Pokemon

It's a good idea to evolve your Pokemon before challenging Gym Leader Roark - especially if you chose Chimchar since it receives a secondary Fighting-type to eliminate its weakness to Rock-type moves.

Training your Pokemon up to Lv. 17 will make battling through the Oreburgh Gym easier!

Trade Machop for an Abra

At the house next to the Dusk Ball's location, you'll find a girl who is willing to trade her Abra for a Machop. If you want to exchange your Machop for an Abra, visit her at this location.

Show Zubat for a Heal Ball

In the same house, go upstairs and talk to the boy in a blue jumpsuit. Show him a Zubat, and he will give you a Heal Ball in return.

Zubat can be encountered at Oreburgh Gate and Oreburgh Mine.
