Beat Elite Four Rika in pokemon scarlet and violet. Her Pokemon are Level 57, but aim for Level 60+ with strong Water/Grass types.
Walkthrough
- 1Whiscash (Level 57, Water/Ground): This is Rika's first Pokémon. A strong Grass-type can deal x4 damage. Meowscarada's Flower Trick is effective. Beware of Earth Power (lowers Special Defense) and Blizzard (x2 damage to Grass-types).
- 2Camerupt (Level 57, Fire/Ground): Meowscarada's Flower Trick can one-shot it. However, if you don't have Meowscarada, avoid Grass-types due to Fire Blast. A Water-type is strong here, dealing x4 damage. Watch out for Yawn, which can put your Pokémon to sleep.
- 3Donphan (Level 57, Ground): This Pokémon has the Sturdy ability, meaning it cannot be one-shot. It uses Poison Jab (30% chance of Poison) and Earthquake. Avoid Grass-types due to x2 damage from Poison moves. A Water-type deals x2 damage.
- 4Dugtrio (Level 57, Ground): This Ground-type uses moves like Sandstorm (raises Special Defense by 50% for five turns for Rock-types) and Rock Slide, as well as Earthquake. Use a strong Water or Grass-type for x2 damage.
- 5Clodsire (Level 58, Poison/Ground, Tera Type: Ground): Rika's final Pokémon. It uses Earthquake and Liquidation. It also has the Toxic and Protect combo. Do NOT use Water-types due to its Water Absorb ability. Opt for Grass or Ice-types. If poisoned, cure it immediately.
Tips
- Consider using the Level 65 Tera Tsareena found at Socarrat Trail. You can Terastallize it into a Psychic type to resist Poison attacks.
- The Level 55 Tera Azumarill at Casseroya Lake is a good option.
- The Level 55 Tera Gyarados, also at Casseroya Lake, is another viable choice.
- Most regular Water-types found at Casseroya Lake can be effective.
- If you get poisoned by Clodsire, switching out to a Pokémon on the bench is a viable strategy.
