Director Cyrano is the secret boss of the Blueberry Academy and you can challlenge him after inviting all Special Coaches in the League Club Room. His team all hail from Unova and features that region's starters.

The Blueberry Academy Director boasts the highest level team in the game, even higher than Kieran's! We recommend training a full Doubles team of Lv. 90 - Lv. 100 Pokemon before challenging Cyrano.

All Special Coaches Trades and How to Unlock

Tips for Beating Director Cyrano:
Take Out Mandibuzz First!

Make sure to take out Cyrano's Mandibuzz at the start of the battle since it can set up Tailwind, allowing his normally slower Pokemon to outrun and potentially heavily damage your Pokemon.

Powerful Fairy-types like a Modest Nature Flutter Mane can easily KO Mandibuzz with STAB Moonblast, especially if you equip it with a Booster Energy to boost its Sp.Atk.

Garchomp is a great choice to deal with Cyrano's other Pokemon since it has coverage moves to deal with the likes of Emboar and Serperior. Cyrano also lacks Pokemon that resists Garchomp's Dragon-type STAB, and one Swords Dance is enough for Garchomp to heavily damage or outright KO most of his Pokemon with its moves.
