Walkthrough
- 1Sidney Rematch
- Team: Scrafty Lv. 70, Shiftry Lv. 70, Sharpedo Lv. 70, Zoroark Lv. 70, Mandibuzz Lv. 70, Mega Absol Lv. 72
- 2Rewards: $11,570
- 3Strategy: Focus on super-effective moves. For Scrafty, Fairy-types are ideal. Shiftry is weak to Fire, Flying, Fighting, and Bug. Sharpedo can be OHKO'd by Fighting-types or others with super-effective moves; beware of Aqua Jet. Zoroark's Illusion ability makes it appear as Absol initially; it's frail and weak to strong STAB attacks, but avoid Psychic-types. Mandibuzz is a support Pokémon; target weaknesses with Ice, Rock, Electric, and Fairy. Mega Absol is the main threat; use direct offense, Fairy-types (like Gardevoir), fast Fighting-types, or strong Bug-types (Scizor, Pinsir, Heracross). Avoid status moves due to Magic Bounce.

Drifblim is bulky but lacks power; Electric and Rock Pokémon are effective. Chandelure is a major threat with high Sp. Atk, often using Hex after status conditions; target its weaknesses with Ghost or Dark attacks. Dusknoir is also frail and weak to Ghost or Dark.

Tips
- Ensure your Pokémon are at a high level, ideally 70+, before challenging the Elite Four again.
- Bring Pokémon with type advantages against each Elite Four member's specialty.
- Stock up on Full Restores, Full Heals, and Revives, as these battles can be long and challenging.
- Consider using Pokémon with diverse movepools to cover multiple weaknesses.
- Mega Evolution can provide a significant advantage in these rematches, especially against the final Pokémon of each trainer.
