Thankyou for your comments, they were very useful in gathering this information
| Pokemon | Best Moves and Explanation |
|---|---|
 Baxcalibur
|
【Best Moves】 ・ Glaive Rush (Default) ・ Crunch (Lv.55) ・ Icicle Crash (Lv.62) Baxcalibur is an excellent counter to Clavell's entire team with its great typing and stats. It will also prove very useful in the next battle with Penny, as well as the other story modes so you should definitely add it to your team if you have not already. |
 Bisharp
|
【Best Moves】 ・ Night Slash (Lv.40) ・ Iron Head (Lv.57) Can hit Oranguru, Abomasnow and Polteageist for weakness with its STAB moves. If you manage to evolve it all the way up to Kingambit, it is even more powerful, however Bisharp does a fine job even without evolving. |
|
Skeledirge
|
【Best Moves】 ・ Torch Song (Default) ・ Shadow Ball (Lv.38) Can hit Polteageist, Amoonguss and Abomasnow for weakness with its STAB moves. It can raise its Special Attack while dealing damage with its exclusive move, Torch song, so if you chose it as your starter you should definitely use it in this battle. |
Clavell's team is even stronger than the final Team Star Boss, Founder Penny. The Pokemon on his team varies depending on the Starter Pokemon you chose, so take caution.

※ As the other 2 Party Members are not needed for this battle, they have been omitted
Although the average level of Clavell's team is slightly lower than Penny's (the next boss battle), they are all much more powerful Pokemon. Our strategy team were sometimes able to beat Clavell with a team in the low to mid 50's, but not without difficulty and defeats in between. If you would like to win a little bit more comfortably, we recommend you raise your Pokemon's level to around level 60.

As a Special Coach, Director Clavell has the same Pokemon line-up but several levels higher. Just like his story and Academy Ace Tournament matches, his team changes depending on your Starter Pokemon.
He will always send out the Starter Pokemon stronger than yours last and will terastallize it to its primary typing to power up its moves.

The name of Director Clavell is based off the Spanish word Clavel, which is translated into Carnation. The Carnation, most notably the Red Carnation, is known as the national flower of Spain, where the Paldea region is based on.
Clavell, while not a Professor by title, carries on the tradition of characters being named after plants starting from Professor Oak in Generation 1.
In the language of flowers, Carnations have different meanings based on their color. Going by the connection with Spain's national flower, a dark red Carnation symbolizes love and affection; fitting for the director of the region's academy taking care of a new generation of Pokemon trainers, both in and out of the game.
Matching the game's thematic colors, Clavell changes the colors of his clothes to match either game version.
