Gym leaders have Pokemon at a set level.

Encouraged players to use oPkemon close

in level to the gym leader.

Lore: There is a Pokemon Battle TV station (imagine

ESPN for pokemon battles) that televises exciting gym

battles. If a player participated in an exciting (close) battle

with a gym leader, it could appear on TV and they would

earn some of the ad revenue or a useful prize package

from the gym leader.

Example: If a player goes into a water gym and uses

Pokemon close in level to the gym leader's and doesn't

wipe the floor with the leader's Pokemon using grass

types, etc. then the battle has a chance of going on TV and

making extra money for the trainer. If the battle is a

landslide in either direction, then it is considered "not

exciting enough".

Notes: Some players will choose Pokemon so that they

would have close and exciting battles and possibly earn

some extra money/loot. Others may decide that they don't

want to risk losing and choose higher leveled or type-

matched Pokemon to ensure that they win.

When creating the Pokemon for each Gym Leader's Dungeon, the

Pokemon should be scaled to the trainer's level and the appropriate

challenge rating. You wouldn't have a Level 1 Trainer fight a Gym Leader

When creating a Gym Trainer or Gym Leader encounter, use the PC's
