Slaking had a base stat of an amazing 670 and it's not even a pseudo legendary,I consider having Slaking kind of unfair,it's pretty hard to take out,that's why Norman is the only gym leader I lost to,even when I had a Combusken at level 33.
If you're nor prepared, you're up against a formidable gym leader. He might be your dad (in the game ) but his Slaking's moves are almost competitive level. Yawn is an annoyance and his Façade , attack is a wild STAB moves
If this is your first time fighting Norman, you may be thinking, "Oh, I'll just cripple the Slaking by giving it Burn, Poison, or Paralysis." To that I say, "That would be a terrible idea." This is because both Slaking have Facade, a base 70 power move that doubles to 140 if the user has one of the aforementioned status conditions. Not only that, but Slaking can use Rest to bring itself back to full health even if Norman runs out of potions. Need I mention Slaking has a base stat total of 670, the same as both Groudon and Kyogre? Although Slaking has a poor Special Defense stat of 65, Normal is only weak to Fighting, and all Fighting type moves are physical. Well, guess what? Slaking has a Physical Defense stat of 100, the same as its Speed stat, and its two best stats are its 150 HP and 160 Physical Attack. Not to mention it has a decent 95 Special Attack stat. If Slaking didn't have Truant, it would be overpowered as hell, and Norman would be borderline impossible to defeat.
he’s already hard i have a level 30 sum marshtomp and he’s not even close to powerful enough and i try leveling up machop but it’s so dragging and he just one shots all my other 20-30 level pokemon
My gowd, level 39?? I've been grinding my pokemon to level 30 and it's tough before passing gym Norman. Pokémon arounds are only around level 15-20ish. Daily grinding do get boring
i always found Norman to be one of the hardest gym leaders. he is much MUCH worse than Whitney based on my experience and im not one of those people who overlevels their starter, but uses a balanced leveled team
The fifth gym leader is your father, Norman, the Petalburg City Gym Leader. He has 2 Slaking, and Vigoroth. If you defeat him, he'll give you the Balance Badge.
Norman: "Hm... So, did you get four Gym Badges. Fine, as I promised, we will have a Pokémon battle. Trainer... I'm so happy that I can have a real battle with my own child. But, a battle is a battle! I will do everything in my power as a Gym Leader to win. Trainer, you'd better give it your best shot, too"!

This guy is one of those people with very high leveled starter but with low leveled others

RSE: You don't defeat Norman's Slakings, *you Survive them*
ORAS: _Any Starter Single handedly destroys Norman's Team_
Just take a machop and train him gg.
Oh wow it's you you're like Espeon
RSE: Wait, is that a Blaziken?!

His vigoroth is a pain too to face
Whenever I do these battles u usually use Blaziken Hariyama or Breloom to have some fighting chance

How can your dad not accept defeat
I was thinking of a good plausible fan animation.
After you defeated Norman, he gives the player an embarrassing celebration for it.
Norman must be the Champion of these games. What a mess...
This gum leader is though. He defied the Pokemon rull and stayed with the character's mother.
This father is not going to disappear.
it's imposibble to evolve MARSTOMP to "SWAMPERT" how ever i have many many time to leveling my pokemon
Well find a water stone from department store
Yea uh can you just PLEASE sign the divorce papers for mom

My Alakazam's Psybeam literally one hit Vigoroth lol

DOUBLE KICK!!!!!!!
My Blaziken can just use double kick with 3 X Attack status item

Oh my god, you watched the video too?!?
@ILoveMedia x22 . He thinks he is smart. He comments stuff like this on every pokemon video
No shit Sherlock

Norman: "... I... I can't... I can't believe it, son... I lost to my son? But, rules are rules! Here, take this".
