Mastering Story Mode battles in Pokémon Champions! Learn advanced strategies, type matchups, and team compositions to overcome tough opponents like Tess and the Elite Four.

Hey there, Champion! So you've made it to the final stretch, huh? Before you face the Elite Four and the Champion, you've got one last hurdle: your rival, Tess. She's really stepped up her game, focusing entirely on powerful Dragon-type Pokémon. Don't sweat it though, we've got a plan! ### 6th Rival Battle As you step onto the Elite Four pathway after conquering Victory Road, Tess will be waiting for one final showdown. She's not messing around this time, so make sure your team is fully healed and ready to go. Her specialty is Dragon-types, so you'll want to counter that. Your Best Bets: * Ice-type moves: These are super effective against Dragon-types. * Fairy-type Pokémon: They resist Dragon-type attacks and hit hard. * Dragon-type Pokémon: Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense, especially if you have some strong Dragon-types of your own! Tess's Team: Tess has a formidable team, so let's break down what you're up against: | Image | Pokémon | Type | Level | Ability | Item | EXP | [EV Yield](https://pokemon-bronze-forever.fandom.com/wiki/Effort_Values "Effort Values") | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Trainer: Rival Tess![Full Battle!](https://static.wikia.nocookie..webp/revision/latest?cb=20220906002216 "Full Battle!")![Full Battle!](https://static.wikia.nocookie..webp/revision/latest?!")![Full Battle!](https://static.wikia.nocookie..webp/revision/latest?!")[![Full Battle!]()](https://static.wikia.nocookie..webp/revision/latest?!")[![Full Battle!]()](https://static.wikia.nocookie..webp/revision/latest?!")[![Full Battle!]()](https://static.wikia.nocookie..webp/revision/latest?!") _Reward: $3000_ | | [![Garchomp-M XY]()](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/project-bronze-forever/images/3/38/Garchomp-M_XY.gif/revision/latest?cb=20240331060159) | Garchomp "bulbapedia:Garchomp (Pokémon)") ♂ | [Dragon](https://pokemon-bronze-forever.fandom.com/wiki/Appendix:Dragon_Type "Appendix:Dragon Type")
