Castelia's gym is filled with trainers that love Bug-type Pokemon, which are weak against Flying-type Pokemon. Some Bug Pokemon like Sewaddle and Leavanny are also Grass type, so they will be weak against Fire-type moves too. A combination of Flying and Fire Pokemon will give you a good head start. Bug-type moves are super effective against Grass Pokemon so you will be at a disadvantage if you started with Snivy.

Make sure to talk to the white-haired gym guide to get a free Fresh Water. This gym is like a honeycomb. Keep pressing forward to walk through the wall of honey. Past the honey is a switch. Step on it and a gate to the left will drop down. To the right is a Harlequin who wants to battle.

Continue walking right to the next switch. It will lower the gate next to the Harlequin you just beat. Walk through the new honey wall and step on the switch for another Harlequin battle. He has a Dwebble, a Pokemon you haven't seen before. It is part Rock type so it is weak against Water attacks.

Step on the switch to the right of the Harlequin, followed by the switch to the left. This will lower the gate behind the Harlequin. Walk up through the honey wall behind the Harlequin and step on the switch to turn on one green light on the post to the left. Walk down through the honey wall and walk left until you find another switch, which will open a gate to the left. Walk down through the honey wall and step on the switch to the left for a battle.

Walk up through the honey wall past the Harlequin to find a switch, which will open the gate to the right. Make your way over to the gate that just lowered and walk through the honey wall. There will be one last Harlequin waiting to battle.

Step on the switch to open the final gate in the gym. Burgh is at the top of the purple stairs waiting to battle with the Beetle Badge on the line. Burgh has three strong Bug Pokemon. If you have a Fire Pokemon like Tepig/Pignite or Pansear/Simisear at level 25 or higher then this battle should be extremely easy, especially with a Charcoal equipped. You may want to visit Route 4, north of Castelia City, if you don't have any Fire Pokemon. There you can catch a Darumaka. Dwebble is the only problem for your Fire Pokemon, so use a Water Pokemon on it if possible. As always, it is a good time to heal up and save before a battle with a gym leader.

Once Burgh is defeated, he will give you the Beetle Badge and TM 76, Struggle Bug. It is a move that deals damage and lowers the opponent's Special Attack stat by one stage. As you walk outside, Bianca calls you on the Xtransceiver and says you two will battle on Route 4. Heal your Pokemon and stock up on items before heading north to Route 4.
