How to Beat Milo

Raise a Fire-type or Flying-type Pokemon to around Lv. 20

Gym Leader: Milo uses exclusively grass Pokemon. Challenge him with a Fire-type or Flying-type to have a type advantage. Milo's strongest Pokemon is a Lv. 20 Eldegoss, so raise your party Pokemon to around Lv. 20, and it should be an easy battle for you.

You should Dynamax from the 1st turn

Milo has only two Pokemon, so as long as you have a Pokemon with an advantageous type, you should not really struggle too much with this battle. After Dynamaxing, a Fire/Flying-type should be able to take out either of his Pokemon in one or two moves, so Dynamax right away and get the battle over with quickly.

If you are struggling, have a Pokemon that can tank some attacks

If you are underleveled and struggling, prepare a Pokemon that can endure Dynamax Eldegoss's attacks. Use this Pokemon to stall for three turns, at which point this battle should be a sure victory.
