Master Rider Nelon Round 1 in Pokémon Colosseum

Q: How to complete RIDER NELON ROUND 1 in Pokémon Colosseum?

You'll face two Pokémon: a Meditite and a Marill. Your starter Pokémon, Eevee, should be able to handle them if you play it smart. Focus on using the right moves to exploit their weaknesses.

Alright, let's get you through Rider Nelon's first challenge in Pokémon Colosseum! This is the first real test you'll face after getting your bearings in Outskirt Stand, so don't worry if it takes a couple of tries. We'll get you through it.

Walkthrough

1
Where you are: You're in the Outskirt Stand, specifically in the small arena area where you first encountered the Shadow Pokémon.
2
What you see: Rider Nelon will send out his Meditite first. It's a Psychic/Fighting type.
3
What you do: Your Eevee has a few options. For Meditite, moves like Shadow Ball (if you have it) or any Dark-type moves will be super effective. If Eevee doesn't have those, just keep attacking with its strongest available moves. Meditite isn't too bulky, so it should go down fairly quickly.
4
Why this way: If you let Meditite attack too much, it can hit Eevee hard with its Psychic moves.
5
What you see next: After Meditite is down, Nelon sends out his Marill. This is a Water-type Pokémon.
6
What you do: Eevee's moveset is key here. If you have any Grass-type or Electric-type moves, they'll be super effective against Marill. If not, you'll have to rely on Eevee's neutral attacks. Marill has decent defense, so it might take a few hits.
7
Why this way: Marill's Water-type attacks can be pretty strong against Eevee, so try to end the battle quickly.

Tips

Don't be afraid to use Eevee's basic attacks if you don't have super-effective moves. It's still a decent Pokémon.
If Eevee's health gets low, you can use a Potion after the battle before Nelon's next opponent shows up (though in this round, there isn't one).
Pay attention to the move descriptions to see what types are effective.

After you defeat Rider Nelon, you'll receive a Potion and some Pokémon Dollars (P$). More importantly, you'll progress the story and be able to leave Outskirt Stand!
