If you've evolved your Rookidee up to a Corviknight, you can take it to a Move Rememberer at a Pokemon Center to teach it Steel Wing, which will be super effective against all of Opal's Pokemon except Mawile.
How to Beat Opal
If you answer her questions correctly, she's easier to defeat
While fighting Opal, if you answer the questions she gives during the battle correctly, your Pokemon's stats will be boosted. Simply by answering the questions correctly, the battle will become significantly easier.
However, if you answer her questions incorrectly, your Pokemon's stats will get lowered.
Make sure the leader of your party is at Level 40
Opal's strongest Pokemon is her Alcremie at Level 38. You'll want to bring your Pokemon up to at least the same point to ensure that the battle goes off without a hitch.
Bring a Pokemon who can handle at least 3 Max Strikes
If your Pokemon's levels are low coming in to the fight, put in a Pokemon who can withstand Alcremie's Dynamax attacks. If one of your Pokemon can withstand 3 attacks from Alcremie's Dynamax form, it will return to its normal form and become easier to handle for the rest of the battle.
Stock up on Revives and Super Potions
Opal's Pokemon deal heavy damage, so have these items along as insurance to help make it through the fight.
