Rantipole Town
Rantipole is the town on the eastern shore of Rantipole Island. Here Route 9, leading up from Alder Town, connects to Route10, going to Jalop Town. The western part of the Island features some wild habitat and a huge cave.
The 6th gym of West Godra is located here, where you can win the Surf Badge. Right now however, both Ilsa of the Alder Town Gym and Bruce, this towns Gym Leader, are too concerned about the War Party Hideout nearby, so they don't have time for any challengers. So you better make sure they don't have to worry about it any more...

Rantipole Gym[]
To make Bruce and Ilsa stop worrying about the War Party nearby, go to their Hideout and make them leave. Then you can challange both this gym and the Alder Town Gym.
A rather spartan Gym. It has a swimming pool you need to surf across to reach Leader Bruce, but no other trainers.
Type - Water
Battles
| Pokémon Trainer | Pokémon Used |
|---|---|
| Gym Leader Bruce | Pyukumuku Lv35, Poliwrath Lv35, Swampert Lv35, Wishiwashi Lv35, Slowking Lv36 |
Strategy - Again, the Pokémon trained by this Gym Leader do know quite an assortion of moves, featuring water, dragon, ice and dark type attacks, as well as the abilitie to burn or badly poisson your pokémon. Bring some drinks (Rantipole has vending machines) and keep in mind that a lot of the powerfull attacks have only 5PP, so if this battle lasts longer, you won't get attacked a 6th time by Draco Meteor or Hydropump.
Obviously against a water gym an electro pokémon comes in handy. TM24 Thunderbolt you won in Violet City might help.
Reward - Surf badge and HM 04 Strength.
