Next up is Celadon Gym, and this one is much harder than the previous three Gym Towers, as the Trainers there use a variety of Pokémon types, with only Erika, the Gym Leader, using Grass-type Pokémon. The only Grass-type Pokémon aside from Erika's team is the Paras line. For types, the first Trainer uses mostly Normal-type Pokémon, the second trainer has two Flying-types and two Water-types, making Electric-types the best choice for that battle, and the third opponent has two Normal-types and two Poison-types. A Fighting-type is a good option to take with you for the Gym Trainers, and with the Pokémon seleted, I chose Hitmonlee for the Fighting-type to take on the Normal-type Pokémon in the Gym, Articuno, Jynx, and Magmar are chosen for the Gym Leader. Jolteon is picked for the second battle, and Abra is there as an alternative, but I will mainly be using Jynx more than Abra.
I will list each Trainers, and the nicknames of the Pokémon, with the species name of the Pokémon in brackets.

Not really much of a fixed strategy from those Trainers, Lass uses many Normal-type Pokémon, which do have some type coverage, like Jigglypuff's Ice Beam, Wigglytuff's Thunderbolt, and Rattata's Blizzard and Thunder. The second Trainer isn't too hard if you have the right counters, and the third Trainer does provide a challenge, if you didn't bring a Physical Attacker, Chansey will give you a hard time.
As with the Gym Leader, she only has Grass-type Pokémon, if you brought any Fire or Ice-type Pokémon, those come to good use in the fight, some of her Pokémon have status moves, like Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, and Toxic. Most of Erika's Pokémon, except for Tangela and Exeggcute, are weak to Psychic-type moves as they are part Poison-type, both Tangela and Weepinbell have moves like Bind and Wrap, which they can use after using Stun Spore to make the fight even harder.
