Laverre City Gym

Navigate the teleporter puzzle and defeat Gym Leader Valerie in Pokémon X and Y's Laverre City Gym. Learn trainer battles, Pokémon weaknesses, and earn the Fairy Badge and TM99.

Dragon-types do zero damage to Fairy-types, so don’t send them out here. This is a Fairy-type gym, the first one ever! Bring and avoid the types listed above. This is a puzzle gym with teleporters like some similar gyms in the past. See the map below to see how to teleport to the Gym Leader. Letters are teleporters and numbers are trainers. So if you stop on one of the ‘A’ teleporters, you’ll be teleported to the other ‘A’ one. The ‘L’ teleporter doesn’t work until you defeat Valerie. The quickest way to Valerie is by taking the ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘E’ teleporters, in that order. The number of the trainer is the number that they’re listed below the map. Valerie is represented by a ‘5’. You can avoid other trainers by moving past them when they’re not looking in your direction. Continue through until you reach Valarie, then take her on!

Gym Leader Battle! Leader Valerie (Map ‘5’)

• Mawile (Level 38) - Steel/Fairy
• Mr. Mime (Level 39) - Psychic/Fairy
• Sylveon (Level 42) - Fairy

Psychic/Fairy Mr. Mime is weak to Poison, Ghost and Steel moves. Valerie’s first Pokemon is another trap - avoid Poison-type Pokemon because Mawile is part Steel and thus immune to Poison. For best results, target its Steel designation with Ground-type or Fire-type moves. For Mr. Mime, fielding a Poison is dangerous too because you’ll take double damage from his Psychic moves. Sylveon is simple!

After beating Valerie you’ll receive the Fairy Badge. This means that any Pokémon up to Level 80 that you received in a trade will obey. You’ll also get given TM99 - Dazzling Gleam! Head back out of the gym by stepping on the green pad behind Valerie. You’ll appear back at the beginning of the gym. Head outside. As you walk outside Shauna and Trevor will appear. They’ll say that they’re heading to the Poké Ball Factory. May as well follow them. First though, heal up and stock up on any items you might need then take the north exit out of town, to the Poké Ball Factory!
