Round 3: Note - Every trainer has one Pokemon holding a Lax Incense and one other one with a Quick Claw.
Battle 1 - Three Pokemon know Earthquake, so keep your Flying Type & Levitating Pokemon on the roster. However, beware of Sharpedo's Ice Beam and Golem's Rock Blast with your flying types. Plus Sharpedo has the hold item Brightpowder, which makes it even more difficult. Target them first. You're up against Sharpedo, Hitmonlee, Zangoose, Nidoqueen, Golem, and Victreebel. Protect & Endure are big moves for these Pokemon because of their teammate's Earthquake move. Victreebel will try to put you to sleep with Sleep Powder and then attack you with either Sludge Bomb or Magical Leaf, and it is holding a Lax Incense, which lower's your Pokemon's accuracy, so have your Flying Types get rid of him after you have gotten rid of the big threats (Sharpedo & Golem). Then get rid of Nidoqueen & Hitmonlee (the last two Pokemon with Earthquake), and then Zangoose shouldn't be a problem, since its attacks are Flail, Crush Claw, and Shadow Ball (with Endure).
Battle 2 - All of these Pokemon have different Types, making it a hard time for you to figure out a way to beat them without having a disadvantage at any time. Have at least 2 or 3 Speedy Pokemon and hit hard. You're up against Nidoking, Jynx, Fearow, Magmar, Politoed, & Armaldo. Fearow (Female) knows Attract, Steel Wing, & Drill Peck, Politoed knows Ice Beam, Swagger, Psychic, & Hydro Pump, & Magmar knows Flamethrower, Thunderpunch, Psychic & Confuse Ray. Jynx is a tough son of a gun. It is holding a Lax Incense, has the move fake out to stall you in the first turn, uses Lovely Kiss to lull you to sleep, and then uses Dream Eater to demolish your HP, plus it has the move Ice Beam. Even though Jynx may be tricky, Nidoking and Armaldo are the toughies you should be worried about. Armaldo is holding Leftovers and has the ability Battle Armor. It has many powerful moves, all of a different type: Dig, Brick Break, Body Slam, & Rock Blast. Nidoking is holding a Quick Claw and has the ability Poison Point. Its' moves are Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball, Megahorn, & Body slam.
Semifinal - Electabuzz is the only Pokemon that uses Protect, & it rarely does. This sets your Pokemon up for a 2 on 1 attack on each Pokemon he has. You're up against Scizor, Electabuzz, Quagsire, Primeape, Walrein, & Arcanine. Use a Fire Type move on Scizor that is powerful, and have a Ground Type move KO Electabuzz & Arcanine. With Quagsire's Earthquake & Lax Incense & Walreins' Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Waterfall, & Sheer Cold, their going to be tough to beat because their are a lot of type disadvantages if they are together. Try to knock out one of them before the other one gets out, or you'll be in a tough position.
Final - Gorigan is back once again with his Earthquake-Protect combo. You'll be up against a Salamence holding a Brightpowder & has the moves Dragon Claw, Flamethrower, Crunch, & Hydro Pump, a Tauros with Earthquake, Return, Hyper Beam, & a Rest + Chesto Berry Combo, a Granbull with Return, Shadow Ball, Brick Break, & Hyper Beam, an Arcanine with Extremespeed, Crunch, Overheat, & Protect, a Hitmontop with Detect, Body Slam, Earthquake, & Brick Break, & lastly a Gyrados with Double-edge, Earthquake, Icy Wind, & Thunder Wave. Don't be afraid to switch out your Pokemon, since your opponent will predictably target your most vulnerable Pokemon with a move that it's vulnerable to. If you see an Earthquake about to hit, for ex, you may want to switch out a bird Pokemon.
