Best Pokemon to Use

Pokemon Best Moves and Explanation
Excadrill ImageExcadrill Best Moves:
Dig (TM 028)
Bulldoze (TM 078)
Excadrill's dual typing of Steel and Ground makes it a perfect counter for for Canari's team, as it negates Electric attacks and resists most other attacks from her Pokemon.
Gogoat ImageGogoat Best Moves:
Bulldoze (TM 078)
Leaf Blade
Gogoat resists Electric attacks and has access to Ground moves that deal 2x damage to any of Canari's Pokemon. Its Grass moves are also a plus when going against Stunfisk.

How to Beat Canari (Rank F)

Use a Ground-Type Team and Moves

Ground team for Canari

Canari's team, being composed entirely of Electric Pokemon, makes for an easy sweep with Ground Pokemon. You can also use Pokemon with a different type and equip them with Ground-type Moves, but having STAB Ground-type Moves would be a faster victory.

Prepare a Grass-Type for Stunfisk

Stunfisk being part Ground-type makes it vulnerable to Grass-type Moves. A Grass-type like Gogoat will come in handy for Stunfisk in particular as it resists both Electric and Ground attacks while also having access to Grass and Ground-type Moves.
