Best Team to Beat Jacq

Pokemon	Type	Recommended Moves
Garchomp lv. 90	Tera Type	・ Earthquake ・ Outrage ・ Stone Edge ・ Liquidation
Meowscarada lv. 90	Tera Type	・ Flower Trick ・ Night Slash ・ Play Rough ・ U-turn
Lokix Lv. 90	Tera Type	・ First Impression ・ Night Slash ・ Axe Kick ・ U-turn

Jacq's team coverage is spread out in both rematches which means his team doesn't have a particular weakness. Pokemon that can deal strong neutral damage such as Garchomp's Dragon-type STAB are great for his fight since it also has coverage moves to deal with Jacq's Poison and Ground-type Pokemon.

Farigiraf's Armor Tail Ability gives it immunity to priority moves, so avoid using these moves when fighting it so you don't waste a turn.

As a Special Coach, Jacq adds Victreebel and Galarian Slowbro to his team to round of his coverage and team resistances. His strongest Pokemon is still Farigiraf which he terastallizes into a pure Psychic-type.

Jacq's Story Role

Mr. Jacq, The Homeroom Teacher

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Jacq Speaking to Player
Jacq, our homeroom teacher, specializes in Pokemon Biology. He will likely assist us in the same way Bill did in Pokemon Red/Blue and Yellow, Lanette in Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald, or Bebe in Diamond/Pearl and Platinum.

He will be taking on this role, and not the role of Professor despite the plant-related name, because those roles are filled by Professors Sada and Turo.

Name Translation: Jacq

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Jacq Standing in Front of Screen with Name

Jacq's name could be derived from 'Zinnia Elegans Jacq.', the scientific name of the common Zinnia plant. His name in other translations are also consistent with being variations of Zinnia.

Jacq Background

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Jacq Profile with Transparent Background

Jacq is Florian and Juliana's homeroom teacher who is also very knowledgeable in Pokemon biology. He is the developer of the Pokedex App for the Rotom Phone.

He can be a bit of an airhead, as he sometimes loses himself in his research.
