Strategy
Petalburg Gym is ran by your father, Norman. Normal uses Normal-type Pokémon and is weak to Fighting-types. There are multiple paths to reach the gym leader, connected by a series of rooms. Each room contains one trainer that has speciality for you to overcome. Normal-types are unique in that they only have one weakness (Fighting) so this battle may prove to be difficult if you haven't caught a lot of different Pokémon. A well trained Makuhita should do the trick, or any Pokémon that knows Rock Smash. Watch out for Super Potions that will restore his Pokémon's health and them ove Retaliate after you defeat one of his Pokémon.
You'll be given the Balance Badge and TM67 - Retaliate if you defeat your father. The Balance Badge enables surfing outside of battle and forces all Pokémon up to Level 60 to obey you.
