Tips
  • For Ghetsis's Hydreigon, Fairy-types are highly effective.
  • For Zekrom, Ground-types are ideal as they resist its strongest move, Bolt Strike.
  • For Reshiram, Rock-types are best to counter its powerful Blue Flare.
  • For Giovanni's Mega Mewtwo X, Fairy-types are a safe bet, but ensure they are healthy.
  • For Giovanni's Mega Mewtwo Y, Ghost-types have the best matchup.
  • Ultra Necrozma is a strong choice against both forms of Giovanni's Mewtwo, as it resists their attacks.
