Strategy
Byron ’s squad is quite justificative , proving bothersome to take down even if you have an consuming advantage . bear for all of his Pokémon to pull round at least one hit .
Bronzor is more of a nuisance than a scourge . Trick Roomwill turn back the flow of battle , letting slower Pokémon go first , and Sandstorm will chip down any Pokémon that’snotRock , Ground , orSteel - eccentric . Since it hasLevitate , you ’ll need aDarkorFire - typemove to deal with this close - unbreakable Pokémon .
Steelix boasts a plenty of weaknesses but make up for it by havingSturdy . It ’s vouch to last at least one blast . If it can KO your Pokémon in that one chance , you may be in bother . It ’s obvious to keepFairy , Electric , Rock , andIce - typePokémon away from Steelix , but you should also avoid usingWaterandFlying - typesas well unless you ’re confident they can take aThunder Fang .
Strangely enough , Steelix may really be good to you . Since it has Sturdy , if you’re able to one - shot it , Byron will be nigh guaranteed to use a healing point on its next turn . Keep one - shotting it and Byron will waste all of his healing items .
Bastiodon does n’t do much wrong and its typewriting is n’t fantastic . It take on four times the damage from bothGroundandFighting - typemoves , as well as three-fold damage fromWatermoves . But it ’s a bluff wall , so taking it down is a dogfight . Just keep slugging aside until it goes down .
