Use Fast Fighting-Type Pokemon
You may use fast Fighting-type Pokemon in order to land KOs early. Pokemon with strong attacks such as Mega Lopunny ex and Rampardos are good choices.
Prevent the Opponent from Setting Up
Pokemon like Alolan Ninetales ex can make it difficult for Bellibolt ex to get the required amount of Energy to boost its damage by locking it out of it. Crawdaunt can also remove straggling Energy to make their Electric Generator useless.
Guzma is used to remove Electrical Cord from the Pokemon you're about to KO so it cant pass on its Energy into a waiting Bellibolt in the Bench.
KO Tadbulb Early
You can opt to KO Tadbulb while it is still unevolved in order to avoid facing Bellibolt ex. You may do this by drawing it out to the Active Spot using Sabrina or Cyrus.
