Rika's Ground Type Pokemon are weak to Water and Ice Type moves, which she counters with Fire and Steel moves from Camerupt and Donphan. Using Pokemon like Gyarados and Rotom who are Immune to Ground type attacks, while dealing STAB super effective damage with their Water Type moves can make the battle easier. Watch out for Rika's Clodsire though, as it has the Ability Water Absorb, which negates damage from Water Type moves, restoring HP instead. Utilizing Ice Types will be your safest bet.
As the first member of the Elite Four, Rika has the added responsibility of conducting the preliminary interview test, to assess whether each challenger is ready and worthy of attempting the Elite Four Challenge
