How to Beat Xavi (Rank X)

Use Fletchinder Against Venipede and Roselia

As Venipede and Roselia are weak to Fire, Flying, and Psychic-type Pokemon, Fletchinder is one of the best Pokemon to deal with them for its Fire and Flying-typing.meaning it can learn moves of those typing when it gains levels.

Use Pin Missile Against Kadabra

Have a Beedrill with Pin Missile to exploit the weakness of Kadabra. Depending on the level of your Beedrill, it can potentially one-shot the Kadabra.

Be Careful of Spikes

Spikes

Venipede and Roselia can use Spikes which is scattered around the battlefield and will deal damage when touched. Be careful when moving around if the field has spikes to avoid getting damaged by it.
