Pokemon Dragon Type Icon Pokemon Normal Type Icon (Lv. 42)

Meowscarada is the one of the absolute best Pokemon to bring against Ryme, with resistance to Ghost Type and Electric Type moves. With Flower Trick's guaranteed Critical Hit, and Night Slash's high Critical Hit Ratio, even at same levels, Meowscarada can one shot most of Ryme's Pokemon. With the gym battle being a Doubles Battle, put Grafaiai or Cyclizar on your party's second slot to provide support for Meowscarada.

When Starting with Fuecoco

Skeledirge's Ghost type moves are Super Effective against most of Ryme's Pokemon, but that also means that their Ghost Type moves are also Super Effective against Skeledirge. To avoid this, you can Terastallize Skeledirge at the start of the match, in order to remove the Ghost Type, and still deal Super Effective hits against Ryme's Pokemon.

When Starting with Quaxly

Pokemon Dark Type Icon Pokemon Fairy Type Icon (Lv. 42)		 Grafaiai ImageGrafaiai
Pokemon Poison Type Icon Pokemon Normal Type Icon (Lv. 42)

Water type moves deal neutral damage to Ghost type Pokemon, so using Quaquaval is possible. Make use of the Doubles Battle setup and pair Quaquaval with a Grimmsnarl or Grafaiai to make quick work of Ryme's first 2 Pokemon and rack up the Attack and Special Attack boosts from the cheering crowd!. You can also choose to use Grimmsnarl and Grafaiai together instead, to deal Super Effective hits against Ryme's Pokemon!

How to Beat Ryme

First You Must Pass the Doubles Battle Challenge

Doubles Battle Challenge - Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV)
Before you have the chance to face Ryme, you must first pass the Doubles Battle Challenge. In this test, you need to defeat other trainers in a series of doubles battles.. Once you successfully clear the test you may challenge Ryme.

Level Up to Lv. 42

Since Ryme's Pokemon are at their Evolved forms, the best odds at defeating Gym Leader Ryme is to raise your Pokemon to Lv. 42 or higher, Evolving those you can in the process.

Terastallize at the Start of Battle

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Alternate Fuecoco Form
Players can Terastallize their Pokemon at the very start of Gym Battes. We recommend you take advantage of Dark Tera Types, as it raises your chances of defeating most Pokemon in one hit using a move the type it is weak against.

Tips and Strategy to Beat Ryme's Rematch Team

Make use of Type Advantages

Ryme's Ghost type Pokemon are weak to Dark type Pokemon. Using Pokemon like Kingambit allows you to use Super Effective moves against Ryme's Pokemon, while resisting or being completely immune to attacks like Sludge Bomb thanks to its part-Steel Typing.

Alternatively, you can also make use of Pokemon like Farigiraf, who are immune to Ghost type moves because of its Normal Typing. Farigiraf's diverse learnset allows it to learn moves such as Crunch and Shadow Ball which are Super Effective against Ryme's Ghost Pokemon.
