Best Strategy to Beat Larry

Use Ice and Rock Type moves

Larry's Flying Type Pokemon are weak to Ice and Rock Type moves, which he counters with Fighting type moves from Staraptor and Flamigo. Using Pokemon like Gyarados and Tinkaton who can use Ice and Rock type moves despite having different typings can make the battle easier since they will not be vulnerable to Fighting type moves.

Utilizing Ice Types will be your safest bet, especially against Tropius and Altaria who are 4x weak against Ice. Ice Types will also be very useful in the next battle against the final Elite Four member Hassel's Dragon Type team.
