How To Beat Cynthia’s Roserade
Infernape
Houndoom
Staraptor
Roserade is much easier to take on.
How To Beat Cynthia’s Gastrodon
Torterra
Gastrodon is one of Cynthiasweakest links.
You may learn this the hard way if you get two Dragon Dances off with Gyarados.
If you hit Gastrodon with a Water-punch in move, it will be converted into aSpecial Attack buff.
Gastrodon hit us with Rock Tomb and brought us down to red HP.
How To Beat Cynthia’s Lucario
Scyther
Salamence
Weirdly enough, Lucario isnt too scary at all.
Realistically speaking, its fairly likely that Lucario wont even touch you.
How To Beat Cynthia’s Milotic
Luxray
Magnezone
Electevire
Milotic is an extremely annoying stall Pokemon.
While it had no held item in the original games,it now has a Flame Orb.
The best bet is totarget it withElectric or Grass moves.
Just remember that thisMilotic knows Ice Beam and can easily shred Grass mons.
At least if your counter dies, you’re free to revive it by sacking someone else.
