Tips
  • Zinzolin's Pokémon are Ice-type, so Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel-type moves are effective.
  • Colress's team is diverse with Electric, Steel, and Psychic types. Consider Pokémon with Ground-type moves against his Electric/Steel types, and Dark or Ghost-type moves against his Psychic types.
  • The Shadow Triad members primarily use Dark-type Pokémon. Fighting, Bug, and Fairy-type moves are super effective against them.
  • Remember to heal at the Doctor between battles if necessary.
