How to Beat Your Rival
| How to Beat Your Rival |
|---|
 Rival's Pokemon: Lv.62 Meowstic Lv.63 Emboar/Meganium/Feraligatr Lv.62 Goodra Lv.62 Avalugg Lv.63 Manectric Lv.64 Mega Emboar/Meganium/Feraligatr The battle with your rival can be a difficult one if you don't have type-variety in your moves. Make sure that you have access to different type moves as exploiting your enemy's weakness will make things easier. Your Rival's Meowstic will use Light Screen and Reflect to reduce damage, so have a Pokemon that can use Brick Break to destroy the wall Your Rival will also have the final evolution of the starter Pokemon you didn't choose with the one that is strong against your starter having its Mega Evolution. So consider switching out to a Pokemon that has an advantage against them. NOTE: You can lose this fight and still progress the story. The dialogue after the fight will be slightly different. If you want to simply progress the story, you can take a weak team to the fight to progress faster. |
