How to Beat the Fourth Gym Challenge

Description & Instruction

Whether you have Bea or Allister as the fourth Gym Leader in Stow-on-Side, the Gym Mission is the same.

You have to get through a series of stages while you are inside a spinning cup, using the right control stick to rotate it.

At the end of each checkpoint, you are met with a Gym Trainer to battle.

Gym Challenge Obstacles

1 You cannot see far below you, so you will need to test out paths.
2 There are walls minimizing your pathway, and hitting them bounces you off in the opposite direction.
3 There are coiled hands that push you far up upon touching them.

About the Psychic or Flying-type part, I caught a Xatu, can I use it as well? I think fighting types deal 0.25x damage to a Psychic AND Flying-type.
