Stats / Weaknesses:
- Eri's Pokémon: Toxicroak (Lv. 55, Poison/Fighting), Passimian (Lv. 55, Fighting), Lucario (Lv. 55, Fighting/Steel), Annihilape (Lv. 56, Fighting/Ghost), Revavroom (Caph Starmobile, Lv. 56, Fighting)
- Recommended Types: Flying, Psychic, Fairy, Fire, Ground, Ghost
- Types to Avoid: Fairy (vs. Toxicroak), Rock (vs. Passimian), Ice Punch (vs. Annihilape), Rage Fist (vs. Annihilape)
Phases:
- Toxicroak (Lv. 55, Poison/Fighting): Avoid Fairy types. Psychic types are strong but beware of Sucker Punch. Flying and Ground are good alternatives.
- Passimian (Lv. 55, Fighting): Pure Fighting type. Flying, Psychic, and Fairy are strong. Be mindful of Rock Tomb.
- Lucario (Lv. 55, Fighting/Steel): Fire, Fighting, and Ground are super-effective.
- Annihilape (Lv. 56, Fighting/Ghost): Flying, Psychic, Fairy, and Ghost types are strong. Be careful of Ice Punch and Rage Fist.
- Caph Starmobile (Lv. 56, Fighting): This Starmobile has the Stamina ability, increasing Defense when hit. Use special attackers to bypass Defense boosts. Avoid multi-hit attacks. It can use Shift Gear (boosts Speed and Attack), Combat Torque (Fighting, high paralysis chance), High Horsepower (Ground), and Spin Out (Steel, lowers Speed).
Strategy:
- Prioritize using Pokémon with Flying, Psychic, or Fairy typing.
- For Toxicroak, use Psychic or Flying/Ground types.
- For Passimian, Flying, Psychic, or Fairy types work well.
- For Lucario, Fire, Fighting, or Ground types are effective.
- For Annihilape, Flying, Psychic, Fairy, or Ghost types are recommended.
- Against the Caph Starmobile, use special attackers to counter its Stamina ability. Avoid multi-hit moves.
- Use Terastallize to boost damage output if needed, especially with super-effective Pokémon.
- Quickly defeat the Starmobile before it can stack too many Speed and Attack boosts with Shift Gear.
