In the first rival battle, you'll be two against one facing both his Wooloo and his other starter Pokemon. The main thing to remember for winning this battle is that you have 3 Potions in your bag already. Hop's Wooloo will Tackle you relentlessly, and it will take a few hits to down him, so be sure to use a Potion before your health gets too low; if Wooloo gets a critical hit at a bad time, you could be facing an embarrassing loss on the first battle in the game.
After downing Wooloo, your starter will level up and learn a move matching their Type - for Grookey, Branch Poke, for Sobble, Water Gun, and for Scorbunny, Ember. Each of these moves have 40 Power, and being super effective against your rival's Pokemon, will take it down without breaking a sweat.
