We recommend using fire and flying type moves against Gardenia since she is a grass-type user. Having a few Pokemon with these types like Staravia and Ponyta will be a great help during the fight too.

Eterna City Tips & Strategies

Get the Friendship Checker App

You can have the Friendship Checker App installed on your Poketch in Eterna City. You will need to talk to a woman inside the Pokemon Center in order to do so. This app is a useful way to see how close you are to evolving certain Pokemon that evolve via high friendship.

How to Increase Friendship

Change Your Pokemon's Name via the Name Rater

Eterna City is also home to the Name Rater. He can be found on the first floor of the condominium beside the Poke Mart. The Name Rater can change your Pokemon's name as long as you're the one who caught your Pokemon.

Note that traded Pokemon cannot be renamed.

How to Change Nicknames

Buy Herbs at the Herb Shop

You can buy herbs at the house next to the Team Galactic Eterna Building. These herbs are effective but will reduce your friendship with your Pokemon. Consider buying some herbs if you don't mind lowering your friendship with your Pokemon.

Train Your Pokemon at Eterna Forest

It's a good idea to train and level your Pokemon at Eterna Forest challenging Gardenia at the Eterna City Gym - especially if you chose Piplup as your Starter Pokemon.

The forest is a good spot to level early since Cheryl, your Doubles Partner, fully restores your Pokemon at the end of each battle.

Training your Pokemon to at least Lvl. 22 will make the succeeding battles significantly easier!
