40-21

Spoiler:

40. Korrina
Fighting type gym leader from the Kalos region.. meh


39. Iris
Dragon type gym leader from Unova. She later went on to become the champion in Black/White 2 which was nice.


38. Drasna
Dragon type elite four from Kalos. Iconic aunty style of dress.. not much else.


37. Bea
Fighting type gym leader from Galar. The less interesting of the new gym leaders. Definitely gives of lesbian vibes.


36. Janine
Poison type gym leader from Kanto, she only appears in the Gold/Silver games when you head back to Kanto post game.


35. Gardenia
Grass gym leader from Sinnoh. It always annoys me how she has a Turtwig on her team.. where are you finding starters in the wild bitch


34. Skyla
Flying type gym leader from Unova. Nothing much to say about this one.


33. Viola
Bug type gym leader from Kalos. Again, not much to say about this one.


32. Liza
Psychic type gym leader with her twin brother from Hoenn. Nice little twist, but not very memorable.


31. Glacia
Ice type elite four from Hoenn. Not much going on but we love the royal vibes she gives off.


30. Bertha
Ground type elite four from Sinnoh. The only female member of the Sinnoh elite 4 so kudos to her.


29. Nessa
Water type gym leader from Galar. One of the newest leaders, she looks stunning has the potential to move higher up the list.


28. Roxie
Poison type gym leader from Unova. She kinda reminds me of Carole McGiffin.. idk if that was the artists inspiration or not?


27. Roxanne
Rock type gym leader from Hoenn. Not the most interesting but her school teacher outfit is cute.


26. Candice
Ice type gym leader from Sinnoh. She was cool in the games, but a right know it all bitch in the anime.


25. Olympia
Psychic type gym leader from Kalos. You just KNEW she was gonna put on a show. Her cosmic looking cape is iconic.


24. Shauntal
Ghost type elite four from Unova. One of the harder elite four battles. The wig and glasses were a LOOK!


23. Valerie
Fairy type gym leader from Kalos. The very first Fairy type specialist! Shes also a fashion designer.


22. Caitlin
Psychic type elite four from Unova. You have to be pretty extra if your entrance is coming out of a pink rose.


21. Acerola
Ghost type elite four from Alola. Cute style, cute hair, tough team.

20-1

Spoiler:

20. Lenora
Normal type gym leader from Unova. The first ever black gym leader (and maybe even the first black main character?) iconic. Her Watchog was a nightmare to beat in Black+White..


19. Erika
Grass type gym leader from Kanto. Her team always seems to be filled with strong fully evolved pokemon. That ep of the anime when her gym burnt down was iconic.


18. Jasmine
Steel type gym leader from Johto. Debuting in Gold+Silver in 1999, to date shes still the only female Steel type specialist ...iconic!


17. Kahili
Flying type elite four in Alola. So far the only Flying type elite four member, male or female. Shes also a golf champion which is a scream.


16. Melony
Ice type gym leader from Galar. Stunning and gorgeous! We love this new thicc queen!


15. Flannery
Fire type gym leader from Hoenn. Iconic early 00s emo girl. Her Torkoal was always a bitch to defeat.


14. Fantina
Ghost type gym leader grom Sinnoh. A French queen! Eventhough France doesn't exist in the Pokemon world


13. Pheobe
Ghost type elite four from Hoenn. Always loved how shes casually wearing a Hawaiian wrap with flowers in her hair but is a ghost type specialist.. queen of throwing us off??


12. Winona
Flying type gym leader from Hoenn. One of the most diverse teams in the games. Her outfit and hair are iconic.


11. Clair
Dragon type gym leader from Johto. One of the toughest gym leaders in the games. So much so that when you do beat her, she refuses to give you a badge until you've proven yourself to her.. petty queen.


10. Malva
Fire type elite four from Kalos. Shes actually a member of Team Flare, the evil team of the region. I love how passive aggressive she is towards the player.. and those early 00s glasses are stunning.


09. Agatha
Ghost type elite four from Kanto. One of the first ever elite 4 members in the franchise. Shes a long time rival of Professor Oak, and its her Gengar that battles in the iconic opening sequence to the games and the anime.



08. Elesa
Electric type gym leader from Unova. To date the only female electric type specialist. Shes also a supermodel and uses her gym as a runway. She always serves some looks!


07. Whitney
Normal type gym leader from Johto. One of the most infamously difficult battles in the games. Her Miltank using rollout shattered dreams.


06. Karen
Dark type elite four from Johto. The only female Dark type specialist in the entire franchise for 21 years. Now thats iconic! Until Sword+Shield came out last year, she was also the only dark type specialist full stop.


05. Olivia
Rock type elite four from Alola. Constantly servings looks and oozing in glamour. Being a rock type leader, shes constantly bejeweled in diamonds and other rare stones.


04. Lorelei
Ice type elite four from Kanto. The very first elite 4 member you face in the entire franchise.. and she uses the only Jynx in the whole of kanto. (except the 1 the player can get). She also has huge boobs.


03. Misty
Water type gym leader from Kanto. This is based mainly on her in the anime, as in the games shes a bit of a non entity. She was 1/3 of the face of Pokemon for years and is probably the most remembered of all of the anime companions.


02. Opal
Fairy type gym leader from Galar. She became instantly iconic in the newest games purely for her attitude and sassy one liners. She also has a love for anything pink in colour.


01. Sabrina
Psychic gym leader from Kanto. Iconic doesn't even cover it.. her anime eps were the best story arc over all the other gym leaders. They were creepy and memorable.. she even tried to literally kill ash, misty and brock when they became toys for her possessed doll to play with. Honestly when will anyone else????

[Shaun]

Opal is far too high for the dumb af challenge alone

And also took a bitch-ass under her wing when she should've sacrificed him for eternal youth

[Saph]

that would've made for a better storyline

[Smithy]

Not ms Opal at #2

A mess

[Smithy]

But tea with miss sabrina at #1
