Tips
  • The first Team Skull Grunt's Ekans is very weak and has no attacking moves.
  • The second Team Skull Grunt's Fomantis is unevolved and weak. Its Solar Beam is slow and not very damaging.
  • Mareanie can use Poison Jab and Recover. Use Electric, Ground, or Psychic-types against it.
  • Houndour can use Flamethrower and Foul Play. Use Water, Ground, Rock, or Fighting-types against it.
  • Golbat can use Venoshock and Leech Life. Use Electric, Rock, Ice, or Psychic-types against it.
  • Alolan Raticate can use Double Edge, Endeavor, and Sucker Punch. Use Fighting, Bug, or Fairy-types against it.
  • The Ultra Recon Squad's Poipole is two levels higher than your last encounter. Repeat the strategy used previously. Ground-types are ideal, Psychic-types can be considered if not frail, and Steel-types are good for resisting damage.
  • If necessary, you can fly back to a Pokémon Center and return to Vast Poni Canyon from the nearby glide spot.
