Ground Type Pokemon Has Advantage

Iono is a Gym Leader that uses Electric type Pokemon. Ground type Pokemon has no effect on Electric type Moves so it will be very strong in battle. But the last Pokemon, Mismagius has an ability of making Ground type moves non-effective so you also want other type moves than Ground.

Battle The Leaders After The Gym Test

To challenge each of the Gym Leader, you must pass each Gym Test that is given to you when you enter the Gym. There are some that you will just battle Trainers as well as participating in Mini Games and solving Puzzles.

High Level Pokemon Will Listen To Your Commands

The advantage of completing the Victory Road, is so when you capture High Level Pokemon (or exchange Pokemons) they will listen to your commands. Do not worry Pokemon that you have caught at a low level and has been raising them, they will listen to you.
