Lorelei’s team consists mostly of Ice-type Pokemon, with some Water-types mixed in. Electric- and Steel-type moves are particularly effective against her team.

It’s recommended to have your Pokemon at least two levels higher than her strongest Pokemon, or grind until around Level 65 to prepare for the Elite Four and Champion battles.

Champion Blue’s team varies depending on the starter he chose at the beginning of the game. His lineup always includes Pidgeot, Alakazam, and Rhydon, while the other three Pokemon change: if he picked Bulbasaur, expect Gyarados, Arcanine, and Venusaur; with Charmander, he uses Exeggutor, Gyarados, and Charizard; and with Squirtle, it’s Arcanine, Exeggutor, and Blastoise.

To beat him reliably, bring a team with a mix of Ice, Electric, and Psychic-type moves, as these cover most of his Pokémon’s weaknesses. Flying and Dragon-type moves can also help, especially against Gyarados and Dragonite.
