A long awaited article that I forgot to post for the longest time! Well, its here.
This is going to be similar to my last Gym Leader article but less boring I suppose… As you may know, it goes under the following categories, Story & Info. So let’s begin with info first, because I like to help people in the best way I can.

They’re Pokémon;
Xatu
Lunatone
Solrock
Claydol
Suggestions;
I strongly recommend you have either Psychic type Pokémon or Ghost type Pokémon. Because they fight tag-teamed and usually a strong Ghost or Psychic type can KO they’re Pokémon easily. Although they aren’t something to joke about, they are strong. I’d say for the whole battle the recommended types are Water and Dark. As you may know they’re types are Psychic and Psychic types really do pack a punch. I also recommend you buy some Hyper Potion’s because the battle is going to get rough. You can never be to sure.
Story;
They grew up together as twins. They lived near a space center base and were raised with stuff about the moon and sun. But they called it Luna and Sol. They’re father worked at the space center to see if there were any rare Pokémon on the moon. Other aeronauts checked the moon many times but never quite saw what Liza & Tate’s father wanted. He wanted to see for his own if there was nothing truly on the moon. But when the day he finely got to the moon. No one had ever heard of him again. Tate & Liza began from that day training hard with they’re Pokémon so no one could beat them at they’re fathers Gym. They have always wondered if they’re father saw the Pokémon he wanted to…then eventually in the game Brenden comes and sees that another fleet of the agronuants are getting ready to go to the moon because rumors have spread of rare Pokémon being on the moon. Brenden not able to go challenges Liza & Tate and eventually wins.
Well I hope you enjoyed this article, I’m going to be making a new banner today as well! You may comment on this.

Great article, SL!
I recommend catching a Sharpedo in the sea west of Mossdeep, as it has double advantage against the best Pokémon of Liza&Tate. Other choices are good Water and/or Dark types. The leaders’ Pokémon tend to be good against Psychic types and Ghost types might not be that useful.
May 6, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Thanks, but I’m really mad. The stupid banner wouldn’t go in properly. It looks fine when it shows you in the dashboards but…Its cut-off now.
May 6, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Very well written SL!
May 6, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Thank you DST! I don’t know what to do about the banner. It turned out perfect but no matther how much I edit it in Paint it won’t fix. I changed the file type several times but it turns out the same.
Its annoying.
May 6, 2008 at 3:53 pm
If you’re really desperate, you could ask one of your siblings for help. They should be able to do it. It’s still good, even if not full loaded.
May 6, 2008 at 4:13 pm
No, they won’t help. Well actually they can’t help.
May 6, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Oh, then you have to keep trying. Please don’t worry if you can’t, it’s still good the way it is.
May 6, 2008 at 4:39 pm
The “Gamer’s Blog” is cut off. And I like to have my banner’s perfect.
May 6, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Isaw it, but we can still see it. If you want to make it perfect, just try some more and you’ll surely manage to do it.
May 6, 2008 at 5:16 pm
I might just remake the banner.
May 6, 2008 at 5:39 pm
If you feel like doing another one, no problem.
May 6, 2008 at 6:40 pm
I made like…6 more banners all the same but in different sizes. But none of them work. I’m thinking its just wordpress. I’ll go try again..
May 6, 2008 at 6:45 pm
I was talking about a complete different banner, but if different sizes didn’t solve the problem, it’s just the old wp making your life worse.
May 6, 2008 at 7:01 pm
It looks okay now. Its not perfect but it will do for now…
May 6, 2008 at 7:35 pm
It’s very good!! The black area is not perfect, but it’s much better than before!
May 6, 2008 at 7:55 pm
@ article:
very interesting article. are they both girls(Tate is also the peg. knight from FE6)
@banner problems:
i’ll post on the help forums tomarrow about it (there closed at this hour)
May 7, 2008 at 10:28 am
Good article, SL, and good banner too(it’s ok anyway).
I saw the episode where they battled Ash, who used the opposite of what you reccomend. When a friend of mine was battling them, I saw a Slowpoke and Drowsee/Hypno. SL: Yeah but I was naming they’re Poké in Emerald, it has nothing to do with the show.
Also they seem to be based on Hispanic (talk Spanish) characters.
May 7, 2008 at 3:10 pm
@ Volthe:
it is true. WordPress is OFFICIALY having problems…
@ Lightbringer:
Thank you for helping.
@ Mercenarylight:
They might be spanish. I mean, they do look it.
May 7, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Very good, SL!
May 7, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Oh yeah the banners fixed! Thanks DST! And thanks Justin for the comment.
May 7, 2008 at 4:41 pm
You’re welcome SL! Glad I could help!
May 7, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Tate is male, LB.
I don’t think they look hispanic, SL and Merc.
Great, the banner is perfect now, SL!
May 7, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Their clothing looks like a cross between Guatemala/Mexican costumes and kimonos. Plus they use hispanic words.
May 8, 2008 at 7:24 am
Mercenarylight, they’re clothing are supposed to look space-like. But with the additional bow’s in they’re hair I don’t know.
May 8, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Their clothing is supposed to be space like, but it reminds me of those costumes I mentioned.
May 8, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Yeah, but I agree about what you said.
May 9, 2008 at 9:22 am
good article SL.
May 9, 2008 at 10:22 am
Thanks Saint, what do you think? What interested you?
May 10, 2008 at 4:04 pm
I think that their clothing is space-like and japanese-like.
May 11, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Check on-top of the article, I got a picture of them.
May 11, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Volthe: “Tate is male, LB.”
Whoa. He looks like a girl! (No offense, Tate)
May 12, 2008 at 4:53 am
@m64
I was very shocked when I discovered it, too.
@SL
I checked it, SL, and I said that they look like space and japanese like.
May 12, 2008 at 9:32 am
@ Volthe:
Yes indeed. That’s what they are supposed to look like.
May 12, 2008 at 9:42 am
I usually used Swampert’s ‘Surf’, and wiped them all out ^.^
May 12, 2008 at 9:56 am
Yeah it can prove effective but in the end they can team up on Swampert. -_- But I have a Gadrvoir in my game and it should defeat them with pure ease.
May 15, 2008 at 3:55 pm
=D YAY!
May 16, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Actually Absol did all the work even if it was a tag teamed battle.
May 17, 2008 at 10:43 am
what levels are your gardevoir and absol?
May 17, 2008 at 10:54 am
Well at the time 55. And my Marshtomp was the same too. I also have like 439000 Pokédollar’s thanks to running around mindlessly sucking the money out of trainer’s with an Amulet Coin. (Not to mention I get like 22000 from every Gym leader or team Magna/Aqua…)
May 17, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Team Magma and Team Aqua was a nice touch. Wait. Which side was good in your game? Ruby, it was Magma, and Sapphire it was Aqua.
May 17, 2008 at 4:34 pm
They both are evil. But at the end when you revisit Mt. Pyre they both return the Red orb, and the Blue orb. Maxie walks up to you and say’s your name…and then walks away and you never see him in the game ever again.
May 18, 2008 at 10:47 am
What happens to Archie?
May 18, 2008 at 11:04 am
He just walks away with Maxie down Mt. Pyre. He is too never seen again.
May 18, 2008 at 4:07 pm
You don’t have Emerald, m64?
I usually train my pokémon equally, so tag battles are easy, as they have about the same strengh and are much stronger than the enemies.
May 18, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Volthe, I think he just forgets about it (often as I do with other games.)
May 18, 2008 at 7:42 pm
I had Ruby, and I played Sapphire.
May 18, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Sorry about it, SL.
May 19, 2008 at 7:27 am
@ Mario64mario:
?!? You told me you had Emerald Version…hmuph. That explains it.
@ Volthe:
No need to apologize.
May 19, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I’m almost there in my Ruby Version, and my pokémon are all above level 40.
May 19, 2008 at 3:44 pm
My Pokémon were level 60 at that time.
May 19, 2008 at 5:10 pm
All of them?
May 20, 2008 at 3:15 pm
…… *I did?* ……….
May 20, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Very good article….. the first time I played, i try to eat them with normal and fighting. That didn’t go to well.
May 20, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Water, Dark and Grass are the best options.
m64:
ALL OF YOUR POKÉMON WERE ABOVE LEVEL 60?????
May 21, 2008 at 6:52 pm
SL said that..
May 21, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Volthe, my Pokémon were above level 60 before I went to Mt. Pyre. I challenged the Pokémon League with my Pokémon level 63 about.
May 27, 2008 at 5:10 am
Six pokémon at level 60?
May 28, 2008 at 7:37 pm
No, I had already said I only raised 3. And now in my game I am raising 1 Pokémon, Absol.
