Scaling Perilous Heights Tips and Strategies
Set Up the Mountain Camp
After exiting the Ancient Quarry, head east until you find Eshim and a Bronzor near Lonely Spring. Talk to Eshim to accept the Request and find the injured Bronzor on the other side of the river to complete it and unlock the Mountain Camp.
Having another camp in the area allows you to move around the map quickly by fast travelling, especially since the first camp is a bit far from the cliffs.

Use tanky Pokemon
Your first battle against Melli at the Ancient Quarry won't be too difficult as you can take out his Skuntank with only a couple of Ground type moves. But when you reach the entrance of Moonview Arena, Melli will send out three Pokemon at once to gang up on your single Pokemon.
Since you're Pokemon will be outnumbered, it is best to fight defensively and prepare tanky Pokemon. Snorlax would be the best choice for this task as it can take a beating from the three due to its high HP and use Rest to completely restore HP when needed.
Snorlax can also learn Ground type moves like High Horsepower to take care of Skuntank.
Take out Skuntank or Zubat first
If you have a strong Ground type move that can take out Skuntank in one hit, take it out first as it can deal the most damage out of the three.
If you're not confident that you can remove Skuntank from the field in your first turn, you're better off taking out Zubat instead as it can use Hypnosis that can prevent your Pokemon from acting. Once Zubat is out of the picture, focus all your attacks on Skuntank next.
Focus on Dodging Electrode's Attacks
Since Electrode spams homing electric orbs that can follow you even while dropping exploding Voltorb, it is best to focus on running around and dodging until Electrode starts charging up and explode. This is your cue to initiate a battle by throwing one of your Pokemon. If you successfully defeat Electrode in a Pokemon battle, it will be stunned for a short while and be vulnerable to your Mountain Balms.
