How to Beat Commander Kamado

Strategies to Defeat Commander Kamado
Use A Pokemon That is Resistant To Fairy-Type Moves Take Advantage of Weaknesses Use Steel-Type Pokemon Watch Out for Snorlax's Giga Impact

Use A Pokemon That is Resistant To Fairy-Type Moves

While you can get away with Pokemon that are generally resistant to Commander Kamado's Team. You will need at least one Pokemon with resistance to Fairy-Type Moves to go against Clefable.

This is because of Draining Kiss which is a Fairy-type move that will heal Clefable.

Take Advantage of Weaknesses

Because of the variety in Commander Kamado's team, you can make use of more move types to take them down quickly. Aim to match your Pokemon's moves with the weaknesses of his!

This is very important for Pokemon like Snorlax and Clefable who are quite durable and have moves that allow them to heal. Defeat Snorlax with Fighting-Type moves and Clefable with Steel or Poison-Type moves. Using Strong Style moves will also knock them out quicker, giving him less chances to swap them out or damage you.

Agile and Strong Styles

Use Steel-Type Pokemon

Using a Steel-Type Pokemon is recommended as it's not only a common weakness among his team, but also effective against his Hisuian Braviary. Just note that while these types of Moves are also good against Golem, their Ground-Type moves can be extremely damaging!

Watch Out for Snorlax's Giga Impact

Not only is Snorlax a durable Pokemon, they are also hard hitters! This means that if Snorlax gets the jump on one of your Pokemon it is likely that they may not be able to withstand the attack.

Make sure to have Pokemon that can either negate this or are resistant to Snorlax's Giga Impact.
