Overqwil is a Dark/Poison type Pokemon, making it take 2x damage from Ground type moves.

Bring a Garchomp or a Snorlax (or both) to this fight and have them spam Ground type moves. Garchomp can learn Earth Power at Lv29 while Snorlax can learn High Horsepower at Lv37.

Alternatively, you can still send in Ground types, even if they're weak to Water type moves, and make them use Strong Style Ground type moves before they get one-shotted by Overqwil's Aqua Tail.

Azelf

After defeating or catching the Alpha Overqwil, approach Azelf to continue the trial. You will receive Marsh Balms to throw, and you need to hit Azelf with it to complete the trial.

Although it will teleport when you try to hit it with balms, you must not give up and continue throwing. After choosing the "don't give up" option three times, you will finally land a balm on Azelf and complete the trial.
