Strategies to Defeat Akari/Rei


Use Any Powerful Neutral Type Moves

When you first battle Akari/Rei, you won't have any Pokemon with moves that match Pikachu's weaknesses. It is recommended to use powerful unresisted type moves instead to quickly deplete Pikachu's HP.

Don't be Afraid to Use Your Starter Pokemon

Even later in the game, all three starter Pokemon are good choices when it comes to fighting Akari/Rei's Team. With a varied group of Pokemon, even their final team shouldn't be a problem.

Oshawott and Rowlet do have a slight advantage over Cyndaquil against Staravia, as it is weak to Water and Grass-Type Moves.

Beware Status Conditions and Effects

If not defeated quickly, Akari/Rei's Pokemon can stun your party. This leaves them unable to battle properly and could result in a more challenging fight.

It is recommended you take down Pikachu and Mr. Mime quickly or use a Pokemon that is resistant or immune to Electric-Type Moves.
