As you approach the gym, Ghetsis will convince Clay to free Zinzolin and the grunts. Cheren decides to train his Pokemon before battling Clay so he runs off. Walk inside the gym and talk to the white-haired guy to get a free Fresh Water. This gym is a mine and Clay is at the bottom. All of the trainers here use Ground-type Pokemon. Grass and Water moves will be super effective against most Pokemon here. The exception is Palpitoad, who is Water and Ground type. Water moves are normally effective and Grass moves do four times the normal damage to Palpitoad. Fire Pokemon are at a big disadvantage in this gym.

There is a platform at the north end of the room with a button on each side, up and down. Go to the down button and press A to go down one floor. There is a platform to the east that can take you down one more floor, but first you must battle a Worker.

Walk onto the elevator south of Clerk Katie and take the elevator down. This will take you all the way down to Clay. Save before the battle if you want. All of Clay's Pokemon can be knocked out easily with Grass moves. All of his Pokemon have hard-hitting attacks, so you may want to use an X Defend for this battle if you have one on hand.
