Best Pokemon to Use

Pokemon Best Moves and Explanation
Mega Excadrill ImageMega Excadrill Best Moves:
Iron Head (TM 058)
Metal Claw
Earthquake (TM 069)
Protect (TM 017)
Mega Excadrill's dual Steel and Ground-type STAB allows it to comfortably take on all of Jacinthe's Pokemon and deal super effective damage with Iron Head and Earthquake.

You'll need to watch out for coverage moves like Fire Fang and Mystical Fire, so use Protect to block those attacks and retaliate with your STAB Steel and Ground-type Moves!
Mega Lucario ImageMega Lucario Best Moves:
Iron Tail (TM 087)
Bullet Punch
Earthquake (TM 069)
Protect (TM 017)
Mega Lucario can similarly take on all of Jacinthe's Pokemon thanks to its Steel-type STAB and Earthquake for coverage against Mawile.

It's less bulky compared to Mega Excadrill so you'll need to be careful when facing Mawile, Gardevoir, and Mega Clefable. Make sure to use Protect when they use Fire-type coverage moves!

How to Beat Jacinthe (Rank C)

Raise Your Pokemon to Level 60

We recommened raising the level of your Pokemon to at least Level 60. Jacinthe's Mega Clefable is Level 59 so it's best to have your Pokemon a few levels higher so they have a better chance withstanding repeated attacks from her Pokemon.

Beware of Fire Fang and Mystical Fire When Using Steel-Types

Even though it's recommended to use Steel-type Pokemon against Jacinthe as almost every Pokemon of hers are weak to Steel, you should still be careful when against her Mawile, Gardevoir, and Mega Clefable as they can use Fire Fang and Mystical Fire that Steel-types are weak to.

Use Mega Excadrill and Mega Lucario

Mega Excadrill can comfortably take on all of Jacinthe's Pokemon thanks to its dual Steel and Ground-type STAB, hitting all of her Pokemon for super effective damage with Iron Head and Earthquake. Similary, Mega Lucario can take on all of her Pokemon thanks to its Steel-type STAB and Earthquake for coverage.

Jacinthe's Mawile, Gardevoir, and Mega Clefable have Fire-type coverage moves, so you still need to be careful when facing them. Make sure to teach Mega Excadrill and Mega Lucario Protect so they can block these moves and retaliate with their powerful STAB moves!

How to Fight Jacinthe (Rank C)
